UNSTOPPABLE

Hey girls. So we had roundup this past weekend and it was FABULOUS! We heard from Jane Francis, a 5-Diamond from Toledo, Ohio. Here are the notes from that training. (It was four hours so there are LOTS of notes! I tried to simplify :) THIS BUSINESS WORKS This business works when... YOU WORK - the most important thing about this business is inconsistency. BE CONSISTENT. You CANNOT grow a business if you are not consistent. This business works when... YOU HAVE A STRONG PURPOSE - You must know your REASON for being in Premier. - Know PREMIER's purpose. - Know your downlines' purpose. This business works when... YOU GOAL SET - You cannot just sit back and wait for this business to happen. HAVE SPECIFIC GOALS. This business works when... YOU SACRIFICE SOME THINGS - Time, energy, etc This business works when... YOU GET OUT OF YOU AND INTO OTHERS - We are supposed to be about enriching lives. Are you making your homeshows ALL ABOUT your hostess and guests? This business works when... YOU GO TO **ALL** TRAININGS AND RALLIES - Jane actually said: "I have NEVER seen a huge success story of someone who DOESNT go to trainings and rallies. You NEED to be at trainings and rallies! - Knoxville girls: the next Knoxville training is Small Group trainings on May 16. - EVERYBODY should be doing everything they can to register for NATIONAL RALLY in July. I PROMISE it will CHANGE YOUR BUSINESS. [Remember the part about sacrificing!] This business works when... YOU BELIEVE YOU CAN DO IT - If you believe you can, you're right. If you believe you can't, you're right! - Girls, from the bottom of my heart, I KNOW you can do this business! YOU CAN! This business works when... YOU PRACTICE - You WILL fail, but it's part of the practice! - And know that EVERYONE has failed. Even the highest ups. Melissa Terrel (tippity-top, #1, in the company) tells us SHE has failed. She says that nobody comes into Premier has a star. She says, "I'm just a little shot that kept on shooting." KEEP SHOOTING, MY LITTLE SHOTS! This business works when... YOU CAN BALANCE - this business works when you work it. But learn how to work SMARTER, not harder. Treat it Like a BUSINESS Jane Says: If you stay in PD for the money, it'll never keep you in. Premier is about PURPOSE and ENRICHING OTHERS. But.... Hobbies COST you money. You need to treat Premier like a BUSINESS, NOT a hobby! Jane recommends a minumum 52 homeshows a year (one per week). Set goals. Have a gameplan! Successful attributes of a jeweler: - positive attitude - work ethic - BE TEACHABLE!! Vision board: create a board or display in your office area that reminds you of your goals and where you want to go! Have a mentor Fundamentals of Premier 1. Build Desire to book shows through enriching lives. - when you go in, make every girl feel special. Make this night about HER. And she WILL want more! :) 2. Build Desire to be the jewelry lady! 4. Hostess Coaching! - It's your job to help your hostess have hte best show she can! DO NOT ASSUME that becuase a girl has had a show before, that she knows what she's doing. REMIND HER. 5. Bracelet Nights & Shopportunities - Make sure you are sharing the business. (And Dave & Vickie do a GREAT job of helping with this! Make sure if they are in town, YOU are bringing OPs!) Be an Overcomer (By Missy Standefer - 2 diamond designer) It is NEVER too late to have a successful business. Overcome your enemies! Enemy #1 PROCRASTINATION - Every job has it's "bedpans". - MAKE TIME! You make time for the things you love. Do you LOVE Premier? - Get an accountability partner - Figure out how to do a homeshow. Watch others! Enemy #2 EXCUSES - Excuses are like rear ends. Everybody has one and some are bigger than others :) - Figure out what your default excuse is (time, lack of contacts, etc) and how to turn it around! - If your excuse is TIME, use the power hour. 1 hour, 3x per week. Enemy #3 STINKIN THINKIN! - Evaluate the way you think! - Stinkin thinkin WILL affect your downling - Attitude will affect your altitude - Give people GRACE - Put scriptures up! Enemy #4 LACK OF CONFIDENCE This is from ME: Girls! YOU are a divine creation! Created with SOMETHING SPECIAL to share with the world. PLEASE be confident in who you are!!! We love you! :) Enemy #5 PRIDE - Get out of the way and let God do what he's going to in your business. - If you are struggling, SAY SOMETHING! Chris, Brittany, Shannon... You are a blessings to this world, and to Jesus, and to me!!! TShirt Show Get 6 different tee shirts, of diffent colors, and drape 2 necklaces each on them! Then use them for your display & show. Use $4 shirst from Walmart! Cute Combination Jane Francis was wearing; Pebble Beach, Villa, and Chain Reaction. All short. She had on silver lace and a bunch of bracelets! CUTE. More Jane Francis When you know what you want, you don't make excuses! Watch her homeshow: JewelswithJane.com User: servingyou PW: servingyou She says, Give them a GOOD REASON to want a homeshow. Give it VALUE! She comes up with a combination of jewelry and then has a hostess read the script (show them how easy your job is!) YOU focus on planting hostess and jeweler seeds. She uses 3 Freedas (seen in her show). At checkout: "Did you get everything you wanted tonight?" (No) "Did you have fun?" (Yes) "Why don't we look at having a homeshow for you and getting the rest of that jewelry!... Is there any reason you woudn't want to have one?" [Overcome these objections] Women don't wear jewelry becuase they dont know how and they dont think they look like YOU. EMPOWER THEM! 2x2x2 by Belinda Ellesworth 2 days after the show, call the guests JUST TO SAY THANK YOU. 2 weeks later, do a customer care call ane make sure they got it, like it, everything works. 2 months later, call the same group. Offer a "customer favorite special" MAKE IT UP! (Maybe offer the matching bracelet or earrings to their necklace for 10% off?)

What.Is.Roundup?

Hey Girlies! So I had a really good question today! What in the WORLD is Roundup? Hahah. You're right - all these trainings can get confusing!! I totally understand! Here's the rundown in heirarchial order:

Trainings are monthly and small(er). They are generally held by someone higher up (at least a designer but usually a 1 diamond or up) and they should be considered non-negotiable. Put them on your calendar and don't schedule ANYTHING else, NOT even shows! The next Knoxville training is May 16.

Roundup is a step up from training. They are usually twice a year and take the place of that month's training. Usually there is a theme and a big-name speaker from within Premier. Usually everyone in the area is invited (your training and other local trainings). And it's a Saturday morning for around 5 hours or something. This one costs about $25 (for some, not all). This year's Knoxville Roundup is from 9a-1p on April 16. Chris, did you get more information at your last training? That's all I have. And B, I'm ASSUMING you have Roundup this month too. Do you know? If you wanted, you could go to Nashville Roundup. Dave and Vickie would LOVE that! I cannot attend any this month becuase I have a bridal shower in Indiana for my [former] roommate. :(

Regional Rally is the next big thing. It's once a year in January and it is all of the states in an area. There are 7 regional rallies nation wide and you attend the closest one to you. Ours is in Atlanta and it costs around $120. It's a Friday afternoon thru a Saturday afternoon.

National Rally is the BIG ONE. It's once a year in July at the Dallas Fort Worth convention center. You DO NOT want to miss this! It was SOOO amazing last year!! Registration for this year's national rally opens April 11!!! Mark your calendars! The cost is $160 for jewelers and $135 for spouses. You can get all the info you need for this on the Premier Designs website under Rally/Events. Last year we all met with Dave & Vickie and the rest of the gang in Nashville and then carpooled from there. Brian and I are both going to Rally this year!! :)

ALL trainings are super important and should be attended if at all possible!!
