Our team may be young (as in new to this game!) but we are going places :)
I also wanted to let you know, I am adopting my new friend Amanda Green as part of our group. She is a sweet heart and just getting started, she needs our support so here we are! Amanda, if you could send me your monthly reports I can include you in our updates :)
I got to meet Danielle!!
Things I learned from Danielle....
- Our stylists earn more than other party companies! (What are you using your blue card for??)
- Even with our busy lives, we can do this!!
- Trunk shows are the key to our success. Yes, trade shows are fun and a good way to meet new people, selling on the go is great for extra sales, but Trunk shows are our bread and butter. That's where your next hostess and stylist are hiding!
- We need to get out of our comfort zones, pick up that phone, call that girl you met and she loved your necklace! (I SUCK at this!!!! I hate calling people, but so far, almost everytime I've done it, it has been POSITIVE!! and yes, that one negative was little awkward, but that's ok!)
- It's ok for people to say no! You will hear no 10 times before you hear yes!
- You are not being pushy if you think you are being pushy ;)
- We all need a little help sometimes
- MANAGE your time effectively
- Facebook doesn't work. Yes it's good for posting images etc and warming up potential hostesses, but we can not rely on it as our sole communication.
So how am I going to manage my time? I'm busy, I think we all are. I'm also the type of person who has a hard time saying no (seriously, I had to see a counselor to help me with this!) and takes time to help people even when I don't really have the time. I sometimes have a hard time seeing that as a negative thing, but I have to change that thinking and see it in a more business way. I want to help you, I really do, but I need to set limits for myself. I have decided to make "office hours" where I will be available daily for you if you need me. You can email me, send me a message on facebook, or text me anytime, however, if it is Stella & Dot related, I will reply to those messages after 9pm. I know that isn't super helpful all the time, but that is the time I can commit to EVERYDAY, and I would rather be consistent than having to add another schedule to my overly scheduled life! If you have something that is imminent and you need help with right this very second, call or chat with customer service, they are fantastic and that's their day job :) If you need something when CS is closed, post on the Home Office facebook page, they are super awesome with getting in touch! I hope everyone can understand the need for this, with a down line of 7 stylists (8 if you included our adoptee), I need to make sure I am fair with everyone's time.
Also, I was told I need to stop lending my jewels :S This is the hardest one for me, of course I want to help you out with your display, but typically after the first or second show, your sponsor is supposed to take a step back and let you lead on your own (as well as making sure to keep my display optimal and my jewels in great shape). Now that you have all had at least 2 shows, you have earned some free product credits, use them to order some items from the spring or summer line :)
Hoopla!
Here are some images to help you with your bookings :) Remember to use your lounge and check in there often for news and updates.
