  Wow! It’s been awhile since I’ve written anything! Well, I’ve been busy. Busy with my regular job, busy with sales, and busy with life. I wanted to take an opportunity to share where I’m at with my goal for this quarter. After Seminar, I decided to be a four quarter star this year. I got off to a great start in June and July! August was very slow. Now I’m picking up the pieces as we approach the end of Quarter 1. Continue Reading »

• July Sales Update

  This evening I finally finished tallying up my July sales total. Yea, I know, it took me long enough! I am please to report I was right. I did hit $1200. I exceeded $1200! I didn’t exceed by a landslide, but I definitely cleared $1200 in retail sales for July and I am so happy! My official total was $1226.50! Woo hoo!

• Head Table is Nice

  Once a month our unit joins forces with five or six other area units for a monthly Power Up event. This is a big training and recognition event held at a local hotel. The six or seven directors sit at a head table to conduct the meeting. Consultants are recognized for moving up the career path, weekly sales totals, monthly sales totals, etc. The newest thing they are doing is giving consultants who sell at least $1200 retail in one month a place at the head table amongst the directors. This month, I had a spot! I felt a little bad because life’s been hectic and I haven’t finished counting up all my sales from July yet. I know I hit $1200, though because I was over $1100 when I stopped counting. I gave my word I could vouch for $1200 and I got a place at the table! It was fun to be up there, however, because of my hearing loss, I had trouble hearing the training when directors were facing toward the “audience” in front. Bummer. I will get my sales all tallied up and share them in the future!

• Repeat Performance

  Tonight at my meeting I couldn’t believe my luck! I arrived a little late because although I was off all day, I slept way in and I had been trying to get products together for a customer who wanted them for her trip. She leaves in the morning so I had to act fast! Fortunately, someone could front me the products because my order isn’t here yet and she was so happy I could personally deliver them to her. She doesn’t live very close to me. I normally mail her orders to her, but this was a special circumstance and I am more than happy to accommodate in these situations. Continue Reading »

• Party with a Purpose

  At Seminar it was announced that the new focus of appointments is not skin care classes. We’re partying it up! LOL The philosophy is that people are having butter and hot dog parties so they may need one of our parties! Party with a Purpose works on so many levels because we can benefit the Mary Kay Foundation, we help other women take care of their skin, we help them feel good about how they look, and we are building our businesses in the process! It’s all fun, too! So, today I had a party. It’s open through the end of the week, but so far sales are at $197! My hostess program is a SHOT at $100 and I’m going to write about that in the near future.
  I met some new ladies and visited with my friend the hostess. It was so much fun and I am so happy I have tomorrow off because I am going to sleep most of the day. My chronic fatigue is flaring up like mad. I can’t complain, though. I’m being productive!

  I’m home from Dallas and I have Monday off before returning to work which is good because I have a party scheduled for tomorrow and I cannot wait! My hostess is excited, too! I love that I have work lined up right when I get home. I scheduled this appointment before I left, but it still feels great! I have huge goals now that I’m home. I need to finish my Star! I’m close to halfway there right now. My sales goal for August is $2000 retail and 5-7 parties held! Can’t wait to get started!

  Today was spent catching up with Hubby. That was nice. I had a great time at Seminar, but I am happy to be back home with my husband.

• Awards Night

  Today did not start off so great. Last night I didn’t sleep well. As a result, I woke with a bit of a headache that I did not want to have escalate to a full blown migraine. I decided to stay back at the hotel and rest. I looked over the class schedule and decided that the afternoon classes looked more interesting to me than the morning ones did anyway. One thing I really liked this year compared to the Seminar I attended five years ago is that our classes were split based not only on our career path level, but our number of years in the buisness. Hooray! Finally, I can go to a class and not hear the same tired things over and over and over and over! Continue Reading »

• Local Unit Awards Dinner

  After all the opening Seminar festivities it was time to get ready for our local Future Area Awards Dinner. This is when our unit gets recognized for our accomplishments such as our unit’s Queens of Sales and Sharing and our Miss Go-Give Award. To be honest, I liked the food served at this dinner much better than the food at the dinner last night. Last night’s dinner made me a little ill. Tonight’s was better and the dessert was an excellent pecan pie! Yum! Continue Reading »

• Seminar: Day 1

  • July 23rd, 2009

  Today was Day 1 of Seminar. They conducted the opening General Sessions for everyone. What is really great about this time around is that I’m in the arena! This is actually a fluke. Enrollment is lower than past years so there is room for all of us to fit in the arena this year so I don’t have to sit in Hall A. What a treat! My seat is higher up, but it’s really not that bad. I’m off to the side, but I can see the stage clearly. I’m close to the stage, just higher up. My back isn’t against the wall, either. The seats aren’t uncomfortable. They are typical theater seats if you ask me. I got some great pics with my phone and with my camera. What was really nice was that my friend had an extra seat by her because her husband didn’t attend the General Session so she said I could sit in his seat for the second half of the day. Her seat is close! She’s not on the floor, but one level up which isn’t bad at all. Continue Reading »
