OPERATION OUTSIDE ORDERS!
- Have you looked at your contacts recently? Taken a peek at who has a wish list or who has store credit? These are GREAT gals to call!
1. Gals with credit: Remind the customers with store credit how much they have. Then say - "So do share...what are you eyeing up from the new collection?" Of course you already strategically have a few suggestions for her based on her prior purchases! Or you can share your favorite "must - have gifts on hand" for the season! Ask her to pop online right now and you'd love to give her some personal styling suggestions right now and help her with an order! Sometimes it's all about being enthusiastic and sharing these ideas with conviction!
2. Gals with wish lists. Especially if the wish list is fairly new - these gals are already warm! They have been looking online or seen S&D somewhere recently. So pick up the phone and call them! My words to say: "Hello ____. It's Missy Bryan from Stella & Dot! I have to admit - I saw you added some gorgeous pieces to your wish list and I had to reach out to chat about it! Did you look online or were you eyeing up some jewels somewhere? Well - I have a super fun idea. The holiday season is officially here and there is no better time to grab some friends for a fabulous trunk show. Everyone has holiday gifts to buy - they might as well do it with a drink in their hand and friends by their side and I would be so super excited to treat YOU to a sparkly hostess shopping spree! How does that sound???" Then be quiet - but EXPECT an objection!
Go for the booking first! If you can't seal the deal on a TS - GO FOR THE SALE!!!!!! Say....well - I'd love for you to be one of my debut hostesses for the spring line, but let's scoop up some of that sparkle for you now. What on your list is your must have now? Tell me about the gals you have to shop for for the holidays - hostess gifts? Teachers? Coworkers? Family members? Help her shop gifts!!!! And then remind her to treat herself to something fun, too!
Post to the FB Walls of all of your upcoming Hostesses

Booking JANUARY!!
TIP #1
I just had a potential say she was TOO BUSY before the HOLIDAYS to have a show..."crazy busy..lol!" I told her I totally understand and let her know that even better she could be my debut hostess for Jan and I sent her this beautiful picture. I offered her Jan 16th or 18th and she took the 16th! Everyone will be ready for some "friend" time!!
TIP #2
Who are your BFF's?? They are the perfect hostess for January! You and your friends will have had their FILL with their family and will be ready for some GIRL time!!! Who of your BFF's can your reach out to?
TIP #3
Saw this picture on Instagram our amazing CEO wearing this gorgeous new piece. (see pic below) Let's Share It!! I LOVE this necklace, it looks so delicate and feminine!! Never have seen anything like it!!
I just printed out Jessica's on an 8 by 11 paper orientating it so it only prints as a 5X7. I printed out 10 of them and will be writing a note on the bottom of it. Here are some words to say.
"Hi Sara!! Hope you had a fantastic Thanksgiving!! I just saw this sneak peak of our CEO and Founder with her gorgeous little daughter and I thought of You! This line doesnt release until January but I thought of you as my debut hostess. Ill give you a call in a few days to see what you think! Chat soon. XOXO, Beth"
TIP # 4.
Did you know you can host twice a Calendar Year! You can! Having your sample sale and spring debut in January can propel you in filling Feb too!
Tip #5
DOT DOLLARS!! I have already booked mine in the system (used the dummy email myiddate@stelladot.com) for Wed January 7th. Why did I do this NOW? So I can invite all of my November customers that have earned them as well as my December Customers. Where am I having it? My home of course!! Can't wait to shop with these gals again when they swing by to redeem them!!
I am here to help too! Reach out with any questions!
