Hostess Happy Mail = GAME CHANGER

One of my systems I get the most questions on is my Hostess Happy Mail system. I have been doing this one for a few years now and my hostesses LOVE it, and it truly has been a game changer for me. Watch this quick video to hear why, and hear step-by-step how it's implemented.

Leave any questions in the comments...and be sure that if you decide to do this yourselves, you're making it your own. Relate it to your products, come up with some fun wording, and see how much your hostesses love you for it!

Simple Direct Sales Customer Follow-Up System

You may have heard the saying that if you're not following up with your customers, you're leaving money on the table. But yet that's one of the biggest struggles that direct sellers have - how to follow up, when to follow up...and as a result many do nothing. I admit that I was fairly guilty of that for a long time. The system that I ended up developing about a year and a half ago was a game changer - now my follow up is done practically automatically, and I don't even really have to think about it. Watch this short video to hear more about my system.

What do you think? EASY, right? I challenge you to develop your own system for following up - and then vow to do it every single week!

Hostess Packet Walk Thru

I get a ton of questions about what I personally do for my business, so I'm going to be addressing many of these questions through quick videos over the coming weeks. Today, I did a short video on what exactly I put in my Thirty-One hostess packets. EVERYONE needs a hostess packet, why not make them cute?!

If you have questions, comment below. Have fun putting together your new cute packets!

Why I'm Pampering Myself Like Crazy This Year

I have a confession...I'm a direct sales shopping junkie. There are just too many companies out there with products I adore. So I buy. A lot. And until recently I was a total hoarder of all things skin/beauty/pampering. Like truly, the amount of scrubs alone I have is ridiculous. And what's even more ridiculous is that I was not using them frequently because I didn't want to run out. Ahhh! Silly girl, I think I'm good, right?

And that is just a few of them...BUT, I have seen the error in my ways! I vow that this year I will (try) to stop hoarding and will actually use and love all these products that I just had to have!

Including more bath bars and body bars than any one person needs in a lifetime.

And okay, those that know me, know that in general I'm crazy organized...and I tried, really I did, with all the cute Zipper Pouches from Thirty-One, but this is officially out of control under my sink. So I vow that not only will I be using up these amazing products from Posh, Jordan Essentials, Acti Labs, Lemongrass Spa, etc. but that I will get a handle on this whole under the sink thing, and get rid of those products that I have failed...you know, the ones that have dried up, expired, etc. That WILL happen, and I'll take pics when it does. Cause no self-respecting Thirty-One chick should have a bathroom cabinet that looks like this.

Hold me accountable blog-land, I'm on it!

Network, Customer, Host, Team Member - follow my system!

As you know I have built my Thirty-One business to a team of over 1,400 consultants and I get asked daily.... "HOW DO YOU DO IT?".  I will first tell you that it isn't easy but it sure if fun (obviously) - when have you known me to do anything that wasn't fun by choice...NEVER!!!
You first can not expect this to happen over night and you also have to realize that not everyone you talk to is going to be your ideal team member - you also have to nourish a relationship with that person before jumping on them with the opportunity to join your team.
I was recently on facebook and came across a great social media post about a women named Belinda Ellsworth, Direct Selling Expert - Step Into Success - she is amaaaaazing!!!

She had a post about this very topic and may have been the inspiration behind this exact post. Thanks Belinda!

If you are looking to build a large team it is all about inviting them into your system.  I know many of my new and veteran consultants feel overwhelmed by getting customers, finding hosts, and looking for new team members all at the same time.  I am here to tell you SYSTEMATIZE IT!!!

Your system should have different levels that you take everyone through making each step in the system easier to manage but it also strengthens your customer base and gives you more dedicated hostesses and possible team members.  The steps in the system are as follows...

NETWORK, CUSTOMER, HOST, NEW TEAM MEMBER

Let's begin with your NETWORK: it is important to build relationships with people so they get to know you, like you, and trust you and eventually buy from you.  Belinda had some great suggestions for this such as starting a Facebook Business Page to build your community, offer a VIP group on Facebook and network network network.  Referrals are where it is at.  By building this community of friends and "who you know" you are going to expand your scope of reach and soon those friends will become customers.  

The next step is CUSTOMER: Once that friendship is built and they know you truly care about them.  They will see the products you have to offer and start to inquire.  These customers will help you reach your goals every month and be an even bigger asset to your business and refer you their friends and also become repeat customers themselves.  I can not tell you how many of my customers are repeat.  Very rarely do I have someone order and then never order again.

The next step is HOST: Your customers are going to be your best hostesses.  They know your heart and have used the products themselves and want to share their great experience with their friends.  The parties will not only help you reach your goals but they will introduce you to new customers to keep your system consistently flowing.  

The last step is NEW TEAM MEMBER: Your host can enter into this phase and join your team and become a consultant themselves.  Your best leads to hostesses are current hostesses.  They know the product, love you, trust you, know your personal why, and want in on the fun!  They want to be able to add to their income and have a great time doing it as they have seen you do.  

By following the system and keeping your system full you can ensure yourself success.  Not only will your income increase but your time management, business success and productivity will improve too.
