Sponsoring Advice
I've been asking around and these are some of the answers I got from Stylists when asked what is the biggest difference being a Stylist has made for them.
"It has given me my confidence back, after not working for 7 years, I now feel like I can do anything!"
"It has paid for our first family holiday, which we couldn't have had without my S&D income"
"It bought me a pair of Louboutin shoes which I could never have justified to my husband if I hadn't had my own money to buy them, they were £450, next I'm working towards a Mulberry bag"
"Being a Star Stylist has meant that I could reduce my hours at my other job, and now I get to collect my son from school every day which makes me so happy"
"Because of S&D I had my first debt-free Christmas last year, it has made a huge difference to our family"
"I have never had such a great social life! our community of women and the support we share is the biggest surprise to me, I never expected that being a Stylist would make me so happy, for me it's not about the money any more"
"I started because I loved the jewellery, but now I do S&D because it just makes me happy, the product, the company, the team, I love it all"
"When I started I needed to earn £500 a month, I make sure I have at least 5 Trunk Shows a month to sell my £2k so that I know I will earn this, I'm paying off credit cards right now, but after that I want to save for a deposit for a flat of my own"
So, be bold and be proud when sharing our opportunity, it is making a difference to thousands of women already.
Fundraising
I've been asked a lot lately for fundraising ideas. This template can be found by clicking on the link below. Sell the squares, pick a winner at random. This can be left with a hostess prior to her show or is great for events.
Personally, my favourite way to fundraise is to make a donation of £5 or £10 for every Trunk Show booked to take place within the next 5 weeks. I only make the donation after the TS has taken place.

Rockstar stylists of the week
Claire Harding
Jo Lee
A special mention: Sally Gurnham
Not being able to go to work or drive, Sally has had a rough start to the year, however, in spite of the odds against her, Sally did her best ever TS last Saturday (over £1k), with her cast and her crutches (and with the help of her pacing partner, Stylist Jo Hardy) which resulted in Jo Lee, the hostess becoming a Stylist. This has given Sally a much needed boost! It would have been so easy for Sally to cancel the show, she had good reason, but this is a perfect example of what can happen when you don't give up!
Huge well done Sally xxx
Thank you to Jo Hardy too xxx
Branded Tablecloths
Hannah made herself the table cloth (pictured) the logo will sit at the front vertical drop of the table at fairs and events.
We are trying to judge interest so that Hannah can give a price for them (thinking under £30).

Join our Rising Stars Group!
Regardless of how long you have been a Stylist, if you are committed to your business and would like to promote to our most desirable pay rank of 'Star Stylist' within the next 6 months, then this is the group for you.
As a Star Stylist, you will earn commissions on your first and second line stylists, plus you will be eligible for other monthly bonuses. You will also earn a promotion bonus of £375, along with an invitation to Leadership Day at Head Office and an exclusive Star necklace. As a Star, you also get other perks such as invitation to our Star Party with Jessica Herrin at Hoopla (last year we gave away a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes to a lucky Star). Plus, you will be racking up points towards Glam Getaway along the way!
If you can commit to selling at least £1000+ per month and are able to travel to Surrey one Friday per month (daytime) then let me know and I will add you to the group. We are holding these sessions in Stylists homes to keep costs down.

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

Here are the Resources available to you:
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.
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.
Monday Masterclass Training Calls
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

Familiarise yourself with what you could be earning in this period and chat to your sponsor about it.
