VT RockStars Weekly
Incorporating teams within Rockstars. May 14th 2016
This week we are looking at The Group Hello! There are a few videos for you to watch, take the best bits and make them your own!
Remember, there's no right or wrong way to do it, just have fun!
The Group Hello
Since 80% of Trunk Show guests have never been to a show before, your Group Hello will make your guests feel welcome and delight them by sharing the latest style tips. When’s the perfect time? 30 minutes in is when most guests have arrived.
Your Group Hello will not only make your guests feel welcome, but it will also help them learn about the latest trends, appreciate you as their Stylist, and understand a little bit more about the other ways to love our brand (by hosting or signing up).
No two Group Hellos are exactly alike. Practice yours so it feels authentic and natural to you. Bring your genuine enthusiasm about Stella & Dot and the success will follow!

Move your business this May...
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
Getting Started Guide

(you need to be logged into Stylist Lounge for this link to work)
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.
Head Office Training Calendar
There is a weekly New Stylist Training call you can dial into with Sam Walpole, our UK Training Manager.
The Stylist Lounge
News items in particular, as well as the Product Alert list which is updated daily and shows any items low or out of stock and when they are due back in.

2 Conversations a day (to book or sponsor) will build your business so that the rest will follow:

Hoopla!
If you want be successful and earn more money from your business, you need to go to Hoopla.
