Star Status Update

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. (more…)

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!

Queen of Sales!

Tonight at my meeting I was recognized for my awesome sales week! I was hoping I would be the “Queen” as we call it. I’ve never been the Queen before. I was sure someone might blow me out of the water with a $1000 sales week. Nope. There were two of us that had Star sales weeks (at least $300 retail sales) and I was ahead by about $145! At our meetings the Queen of Sales wears a little tiara. LOL It sounds silly and corny, but it’s fun. I got to wear the tiara. Not that I’m not used to it. I wore plenty of tiaras in my dancing days. Hehehe :mrgreen:

Record Breaker!

This week was so exciting for me! I broke my all time weekly personal sales record! My previous best week was in the neighborhood of $420. This week, I sold $669! This is my total after hostess bonuses and customer discounts! I moved about $700 of retail product! What is very exciting was that I tracked my sales. I set a goal and I tracked it and…I exceeded my goal! My goal for this week was $500. I met my goal and surpassed it! :mrgreen: (more…)

Inspiring Guest Event

Last night our local units celebrated the achievement of one of our local consultant earning her first Career Car! Her NSD, Debi Moore came up for the occasion. The event allowed consultants to bring guests so they could have a makeover and try the new Coastal Colors. There were prize giveaways and platform models. Debi talked about the economy and how the recession really isn’t apparent in our industry. I would have to agree that has been my experience. I’m selling those Coastal Color sets like mad and have already had to reorder them! I have made it my goal to see 30 faces in April. (more…)

Setting and Tracking Goals Pays Off

It has been a full week since Career Conference and I have been working hard! Whenever I go to that event I come back fully recharged and ready to work. This year was reminiscent of my first Career Conference. I came home and sold $1600 retail in that month. I aim to repeat that this year and keep it steady all year. ;) So far, I’m off to a great start! I had a Star Consultant week last week. My goal was to sell $400 retail in that week. I ended up just shy by $29! My total retail sales came to $371.70! That includes discounts! (more…)

Holiday Sales Are All About SERVICE!

Since the holidays are literally just around the corner it is time to think about holiday selling and still working  through the hussle and bustle of the holiday season. I’ll admit, in the past I have always been intimidated by November and December. The first year I was working my business I did a craft bazaar at a church and when I called the leads many were too busy due to holiday plans. This year (5 years later) is different! For the first time I am READY for the season and will take control of the situation. (more…)

Month End Roundup

Well, September came and went and now it is October. Can you believe it? I can’t. Last night I was going over my datebook planning my work schedule in disbelief that I was looking at October and November! Unbelievable. Where has the year gone? :shock: My September was quite productive. I’m happy with my results. I set some goals. My faces goal was fifteen faces. I did seven faces. This was actually one more face than last month. My retail sales goal was $2000. My actual retail sales came in right around $600. So, I missed my goals, but I still made money. :) How did you do in September? (more…)

Got Goals?

This comes a little late in the month, I know. July is the start of the new fiscal year and in MaryKayland, that is also the start of our Seminar contest year. Every year we talk about new goals and getting a fresh start on the new year. In the past I’ll admit it was all fun and games and everything kinda went in one ear and out the other. Yes, I made some goals, but I didn’t see any urgency so I didn’t really go for them. It’s been just about five years since I signed my agreement to take up a new hobby. Back then I just wanted a hobby and didn’t see any reason to pursue my business any further than that. There is nothing wrong with that. I think this is how many if not most consultants get started. I think that is fine. It allows freedom to work how they want. I’m glad for that. These past two years have made me rethink my approach to my hobby and I have decided to work the business aspect more. As I was making this transition I realized, “Hey! It’s July! The new year is just starting. What fabulous timing!” So, I have some very lofty goals. (more…)

Great Sales Idea

Last night at my meeting the focus was trunk shows and on-the-go. I wanted to share an idea that a unit member of mine is doing to promote the Apple Berry Lipstick promotion. She shared that her goal is to sell 100 Apple Berry Lipsticks by December 31. Here is what she is doing. She has packaged several Apple Berry Lipsticks and the special promotional bags into a Miracle Set Bag and carries this with her to work, on errands, etc. People ask her about the bag and she tells them about the promotion. She has sold 7 so far. (more…)
