Day 6 of the SHD Countdown!
A New Year - A New Stella & Dot Business!
DAY 6 Challenge - Get Organized and Have a System!
Are you ready to get your office space and systems in order for 2013? This is VERY important for your success & what it boils down to is having a system! I promise it will make your follow up, booking, and prospecting SO MUCH EASIER!
YOUR CHALLENGE - think about a system (or lack of a system:) you have in place for your business. Post a picture of your office space (for fun) on our Facebook page and share with us what your system is and how your system helps you with follow-up, booking, sponsoring, etc.
Here are a couple suggestions to help get your business in order for 2013:

Here are a couple suggestions to help get your business in order for 2013:
- Sort through your paper order forms. Paperclip together each Trunk Show and take note of any wishlist items or follow-up that needs to happen. Make sure you are removing and shredding the credit card info at the bottom.
- Update your WDYK (Who Do You Know) list. Did you make any notes on those order forms about "maybe" hostesses for January? What about notes on someone who would make a great stylist.
- Do all your orders online? Export your contacts and orders into Excel to have a record for each person in 2012.
- Sort through your Business Supplies - Look Books and Minis will be outdated once the new line launches in January. Start thinking about what you can do with the ones you have (hint hint...future challenge). Make a list of business supplies you will need in the new year - trunk show planners and opportunity guides will carry through. Do you need new business cards? labels for LB's?
- Sort through your jewels. Do you have anything in your current display that is now retired or on its way out? Pull these pieces and offer them as a booking incentive or if you have a lot think about holding a sample sale.
- Are any of your pieces in need of a good cleaning or possibly being refreshed? (I know my Bardot Bracelets take a beating!) Make a list of pieces that you would like to replace when we are able to refresh our samples in January.
- Organize your receipts! Tax time is coming. If you would like my expense tracker just shoot me an email and I will send it you way.
You have till Midnight EST December 13th, to complete this challenge.
A winner will be chosen at random to win a $25 Gift Card to the Container Store to help get organized in 2013!
