ROCKSTARS Monthly
Incorporating teams within our Rockstars Team 5th Feb 2016
Hello February!
It's a short month and for many people this also includes a half term.
I suggest when you are making bookings, obviously try and book the Trunk Shows to take place as soon as possible, but if people really are booked up and busy then book them straight into March now. DON'T OFFER MARCH FIRST!
This week, help out the poor menfolk who really are unimaginative when it comes to Valentines Day. They don't have to spend a fortune either, a pair of Sparkle Studs £15 and a Radiance Coil Bracelet £25 are a perfect combo at £40. There are also lots of lovely single ladies who can treat themselves to something sparkly just because they can! So spend this week offering to add a little sparkle to a dark wet month!.
Did you watch THE BUZZ email from Head Office yet? this week saw great Spring Fashion tips from Harpers Bazaar's Jo Glyn-Smith, talk about this when you are booking, offer to update their wardrobes with a Spring vibe!
Take part in Training Manager Sam Walpole's Booking Blitz happening on Wednesday evening too, you never know you may just win a prize! (see Training Calendar on Stylist Lounge for more info or check your emails from Saturday).
Who are you offering the business and sparkle to this week?

DIRECTORS SUMMIT UPDATE
We were totally spoilt at Directors Summit at Syon Park Hilton, what a gorgeous, luxurious venue with the most inspirational people, I definitely felt a lot of #sdjoy
We got to see the stunning Summer capsule collection launching in April, heard retail and trend advice from Harpers Bazaar's Jo Glyn-Smith and had some amazing training and moments to treasure including a private dinner with our Chairman and Senior Directors at the famous River Cafe in London. Two highlights for me were our very own Associate Director Bella Fox winning an award for Highest Team Productivity! (Bella has only been a Stylist for 13months!) and gorgeous Director Susan Arumemi earning her Heart of Leadership Award.
Our SWAG bag included two pieces from the Summer collection (see pic below), a signed framed print from Blythe Harris's Design Studio, a 2016 Journal, bareMinerals cosmetics and more... I also had Champagne and chocolate covered strawberries in my hotel room!
So I'm all set up to support you in another incredible, record breaking year, use me!
Key Points:
- Hoopla registration opens later this month, it will be held at Novotel, Hammersmith 8-10th July
- Jessica's book is available to pre-order on Amazon, if we all pre-order it will generate more press interest and have a positive impact on our business!
- Glam Getaway 2017 incentive has been launched, fancy a free holiday to Mauritius? check out the Stylist Lounge for all the details
- We are going to stock higher levels of core bestsellers so that we never go out of stock on these pieces.
- Courier Hermes have made improvements and we continue to monitor them closely, it's important that if you have customer feedback concerning deliveries that you inform Customer Services so that they can investigate it & make improvements where necessary.
- Shipping to the Channel Isles is coming in Quarter 1
- There are lots of really good exciting things coming that I can't tell you about yet...
2015 Roundup:
- 566 UK & Ire Promotions
- 2839 new Stylists sponsored in EU (up 57% on 2014)
- 46% of new Stylists sponsored in JumpStart
- 24k qualified trunk shows held (up 35% on 2014)
- 762k units shipped from our warehouse in Belgium
- We broke records in August and sponsored 300 new Stylists in the UK alone
- Our average in-stock level was 97.5% (our target is 97%)
Working hard!

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
Spend a good few hours in your first week watching videos and familiarising yourself with SDU.
