Majestics Weekly
Mrs P's Stella & Dot Team 24th January 2015
Majestics Taking Over OXFORD!
I am going up for the day and hitting the streets and cafes of Oxford with Stylists Fiona Hancox and Claire Harding, hoping to meet some fun stylish women to invite to the MSD in the evening.
WHO DO YOU KNOW IN OXFORDSHIRE?
Please chat to anyone you may know in this area and reach out and invite them along to the MSD, they can see the Spring collection over a glass of wine and just chat with us. Even if it's not right for them, they may be able to invite other locals that they know... we need to get some momentum going, so my challenge to all of you is to think about who you know in the area and use them as a point of referral, ask them to share the invitation... come along, or send others along... who knows, YOU could end up with a new Stylist on your team!
Although we have team members in Oxfordshire, it is a hugely untapped market, up for grabs! I will shortly be starting up a monthly Stylist Meeting in Oxford to support our growth and development in the area.
It is worth mentioning to your customers as well, they may have contacts in the area...
Sponsoring Tip of the Week
If you aren't having any joy sitting at home talking to your contacts about the Stylist opportunity, then LEAVE THE HOUSE!
Go out into the world, wearing your S&D and your Big Girl Pants.
Whether you are running errands or deliberately going 'fishing' to meet new contacts, THIS WORKS!
Running errands etc?
Strike up as many conversations as you can with people (the lady in the bank, the hairdresser, the checkout girl etc) casually drop S&D into the conversation, exchange details with eachother and Boom! all of a sudden you have a whole new pool of contacts!!!
The trick is being confident in what you say to them (See the 60 Second Commercial document in SDU). I get a lot of 'love your necklace' I reply with, 'Thanks, it's Stella & Dot' I usually get a blank look, then I explain, 'I run my own business with S&D, we are a gorgeous accessories brand not available in the shops, here, have one of these (hand a mini LB over to them).... depending on their level of interest (some people do look at me like I'm an absolute nutter!! - their LOSS) I will then say something like 'let me take your email address and I can send you a link to the main catalogue'... then I also get their phone number as well, but asking for email first works well. If they seem really keen I will invite them to a local meeting and ask if I can find them on Facebook.
THIS IS A LEARNED SKILL, TALK TO YOUR SPONSOR, FIND ANOTHER STYLIST TO GO OUT WITH, PRACTICE AND PERFECT THIS SKILL AND YOUR BUSINESS WILL EXPLODE!
Be sure to have pen and paper, phone, and some sort of handout such as a mini lookbook (even if it's an old one).

A Word About Stock
- If items are low in stock on the product alert list, don't display them at your Trunk Show.
- If you have the out of stock item, sell your sample and keep the cash to buy back when it becomes available.
- If a customer really wants a piece that is out of stock, take her order details and treat it as a pre-order, once the item is back in stock, order as normal (obv this may affect TS hostess rewards), however, you still get the sale and offer great service to your customer.
Within the retail industry, when an item is so popular that it sells out, it is considered a success. We are so lucky to have such sought after designs and such an enormous collection of alternatives to choose from.
I always remember when I first started, Jessica Herrin got asked this question at Training and her response was to shift the stock that we have right now, which goes back to my first point about only displaying items that are actually available.
Hope this helps x
