RockStars Weekly
Incorporating teams within Rockstars. Jan 16th 2016
Most of your 90 Day Goals include wanting to SPONSOR!
On average, for every 20 people you offer the opportunity to, only 1 person will want to find out more. THIS IS NORMAL!!!!!!!
If you think you have tried and not been successful, it is usually one of these reasons why it's not working.
1.You are not talking about it
2.You are not talking about it enough
3.It's WHAT you are saying that needs tweaking
So, let's assume you are talking about it lots. We are all very passionate about S&D and our opportunity is Amazing, it is very easy to get verbal diarrhoea and bombard them with way too much information and/or come across as a crazy cult lady.
KEEP IT SIMPLE
1.Ask what has intrigued them, or why they are considering being a Stylist (& find out about them)
2.Our Stylist opportunity is totally flexible, the worst that can happen is if you dont do any work - you wont earn any money. But by doing a little bit, it can give you so much back in rewards. Tell them that we all earn between 25-35% commission, (and that S&D Stylists earn the highest pay in the industry, we have the top party sales and guest spend in the industry too).
3. There are all types of stylists, hobbyists etc and that 70% of stylists also have another job.
4.The ideal start looks like this: if you could do 4 trunk shows in your first 4 weeks with 4 different social circles, that would give you the best start because you would:
a) earn back your investment
b) earn some extra jewellery for free (through JumpStart)
c) earn some money too!
d) see if you like it
and e) if you do like it, you will have met other people at those 4 trunk shows who will be your future hostesses.
Then tell them that it costs £169 for the starter kit, which includes everything they need to try it for a month.
Tell them there is a program called JumpStart which exists for them to earn more free jewellery when they start so that they can fill out their display without putting their hand in their pocket.

They will most likely have objections, this is normal. It is our job to explain how these objections can be overcome.

Welcome to Stella & Dot!
About Me:
I am a mum of three school age children, this is my second business in this industry, I joined S&D when we launched in the UK in 2012 when my previous jewellery company closed down, I have been in the biz for about 6 years. When I first started I had babies, toddlers and another job, and to be honest, I joined to get discount on my wishlist! however after my first party, I knew that this was what I wanted to do, so I made a plan with my sponsor and quit my job within 6 months and have never looked back. I still work part-time and do about 6 parties a month.
I live in Surrey, I'm married to the very patient Mr P and I survive on black coffee and gin.
I look forward to meeting you soon!
Michele
XOXO

Connect with your Sponsor
It's important to be honest with your sponsor about what you want from your business so that she can offer the right level of support.
During your Jumpstart period (your first 60 days) we recommend having a quick chat once a week with your sponsor.
Not on Facebook? You're missing out!
I use this Facebook page to do give-aways and share important information as it happens. it is also a useful forum for you to ask questions and share tips.
Even if you don't want to use Facebook for your personal life, you really need to use it for communication purposes within the team and wider Stella & Dot community.
Add me as a friend and I'll add you to the group: www.facebook.com/michele.porter1
Attend a Monthly Meeting (every month!)
Stylists who regularly attend a monthly meeting have much stronger businesses and are more likely to have longevity. Without connecting with other Stylists doing the same job, it's very hard to get motivated and inspired. Also, it's more fun together!
If there isn't one, then tell me!! I am working with Head Office to get the nation covered.
Making the Most of Jumpstart
Familiarise yourself with what you could be earning in this period and chat to your sponsor about it.
Read & Watch The Weekly BUZZ
It's a 5 minute video, once a week. Just watch it!
Stella & Dot University

Hoopla!
If you want be successful and earn more money from your business, you need to go to Hoopla.
We have the best, game-changing training, not to mention cocktail parties, team parties prizes, dancing and FUN!
CEO & Founder Jessica Herrin, Chairman Mike Lohner, Chief Creative Officer (heads up Design Studio in NYC) Blythe Harris and VP of Global Training Danielle Redner will be there, they are each so inspiring and motivating, but when they get together, great things happen!
Tickets will go on sale a few months beforehand.
Tickets usually cost about £150 and include products to the same value in our goody bag. S&D negotiate a good hotel rate for us and Stylists usually share rooms to keep the cost down too.
