Love Token for his mother!

I had the most touching moment at a party for Kay in Eden Prairie last night. Her little nephew Charlie (approx. age 7) wanted to know how much a pair of Lingo earrings was that his mother had been admiring so that he could buy them for her. Upon learning she has already ordered them, he turned his attention to the Love Token necklace, wondering once again how much it was so that he could go get his wallet out of the car to buy it for her.

Imagine the surprise on his face when I told him he could have the necklace to give to her! We put it into an empty box that I had on hand and he tucked it into a grocery bag that he had brought with him with some of his toys inside to share withi his cousins while the moms shopped. I told him I was certain he would find the perfect time to give it to her ~ and he walked away with an ear-to-ear smile I will never forget!

Little Charlie touched MY heart, indeed!

Top Seller for July!

I was pleased to learn yesterday that I was the top advsor is sales in the Donita Dahm Zone and Michele Brick Region for the month of July with $6411 in recognition sales! My recruit Wanda was third ~ a personal best for both of us! And while this is very exciting and rewarding, I can't help but think how much BETTER it would have been if I was a unit manager earning 40% commission and a 10% override on recruit sales. I know I will get there ~ but, I sure hope it is sooner rather than later!

I had a show cancel last night 10 minutes before I was to leave the house because of low attendance and last-minute cancellations. I wonder if/how I could have effected a different outcome. The hostess did reschedule for September and I hope to work with her to get better attendance ~ to benefit both of us!

With shows tonight, tomorrow, Saturday and next Thursday, I should have a decent August. I have five shows already booked for September and with the beautiful hostess-only watch, I am hoping to have a really full calendar!

Back to the Blog ~ and Recruiting!!

So, I set up this blog with high hopes of using it and Twitter to promote my business and learn from others ~ and what did I do? Absolutely nothing! Shame on me for not following through on updates. I still struggle finding value in Twitter ~ I love Facebook and will continue to focus on using it to create top-of-mind awareness for my business and desire to help women look and feel great!

My business has been growing by leaps and bounds over the past four months; I have been amazed at how smoothly and easily everything has gone. July was my best month yet ~ with over $6,400 in recognition sales! lia sophia makes it easy to do business ~ the website, advisor tools, and customer service are all amazing. I have six shows in August, and four already booked for September. With the amazing Hostess-Only watch (I just received my sample) for September hostesses, I am hoping for a full September calendar soon!

I am working on recruiting now, fully desiring to get three more advisors on my team to increase my income to 40% of show sales, earn an override on group sales, and, of course, the trip to Cancun! I truly believe in this opportunity and all that it has to offer women ~ both from the standpoint of the earning potential it offers as well as the energy for success it generates.

So, let's get the conversation going on recruiting! Any ideas to share on how to recruit (fast!) and what has been most successful for you?
