Our.Premier.Men

My sweet hubby, Brian,
carrying the Gleason sign @ Rally.

Hey girls! This is important! We've got a men's only training coming up!

One of my favorite things about Premier is the involvement of the men. Since I signed with Premier, Brian has rapidly become more and more involved. He comes to rallies & trainings with me, has asked women to have shows for me, built cases & mannequins, and has even helped me stay [slightly] more disciplined with how I manage & spend my income.  The men tend to be more business savvy & aware of the potential.

Together, Premier has become OUR business. We are a team! Although I still am responsible for most of the inner/outer workings, and the shows, Brian also does a WHOLE LOT to help. It's so neat to have one more thing to share.

Now Premier! They do a TON equip the men to be involved. At rallies & roundups, they have special "manly" lunches & trainings for men only. :) How cute is that? I'm sure they appreciate a chance away from the onslaught of pumps and pearls and squealing girls!

Every once in a while, some one of the Premier leadership husbands offer a special phone-call training. These are usually on Sunday nights, and of course they're free! The boys just call in & type in the code & listen to the trainings! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND encouraging your men to get involved in these. Here's the info for the upcoming one:

Special Guest Speaker: BOB SPROUL

This Sunday, May 6

@ 9 pm Eastern -- 8 pm Central

If.It's.To.Be...It's.Up.To.ME

At several trainings I've been to, I've heard the quote, "If it's to be, It's up to me." I like that because I need to hear it. Premier is a business that works only when you work it. If you want more income, YOU are responsible for generating it. If you want a raise, YOU are responsible for giving & getting it. There is nobody to tell you when or where or how often to work. The fact that we make our own schedules, and decide our own vacation time, is totally awesome. But with great privilege comes great responsibility. [You like my cliche quotes?].


In Premier, there are a million methods to setting your goals. I've seen cute goal boards, people with goal folders and notebooks, there are breakdowns in the new Premier calendar/agenda, a MILLION worksheets & organizers, and more. I personally recommend deciding & writing what you want for your business ($500/month to pay the bills, to become Designer within 6 months, to do Premier full time, etc), and break down the steps to see what you need to do to get there.


The exciting part is, there is ALWAYS a reward. 


Brian and I have seen each one of our girls get excited about Premier, and we are very excited FOR you! AND NOW... there will be a prize! :) Brian & I have decided on a challenge for EACH of you! We have thought about what each of you need/want right now for your business, and have created an individual set of challenges for each of you. Brittany & Diana want to work on sponsoring. Krystle & Connie need to work on getting off to a strong start. Not only will you earn a prize if you take on our challenge, but you will also IMPROVE your business! We promise! But.. of course there will be a prize at the end! Each of you will be working toward... drum roll please... the Hood & House program!!!!


If you are unfamiliar with the Hood & House program, YOU NEED IT. It has been an absolute wonder. I just bought it last summer, and my business has become so much more organized & simplified! Hood House keeps track of everyone you meet, all of your expenses, your mileage, all of your sales, and SO SO SO much more. It is a MUST HAVE.... But it is a liiiiittle pricey!


Interested? If you would like to work on focusing your business... AND earning the Hood & House program... your first assignment is to set & share your goals. You can either comment on this post so everyone can see, OR you can email me at my personal email. Your goals can be in any form. You can make a list. Write a sentence or a paragraph, whatever. Do you have a specific income goal? A number of shows you would like to do per month? A number of months until you quit your other job(s)? 

Our Goal
Of course, Brian & I have our own goal: I would like to be a Designer by the time we move next summer. This means 36 home shows in the next 12 months, and signing 3 more girls to our downline. That's about 3 shows per month, and 1 new girl every 4 months. I would also like to focus more on building relationships with my customers, hostesses, & Premier family. I don't have an income goal, but all of our Premier income will go toward paying down my student loan debt. We need an additional $20,000 to have them paid by our move. 




When I have your goals, I will send you your challenge sheet. And you'll be on your way! To make it fair, the challenge will OFFICIALLY start on May 12!


Good luck!
Love,
Brian & Denise


Here's a peek at what your challenges will look like. The first is for Brittany & Diana, the second for Connie & Krystle... 

  

New.Jewelers

Welcome New Jewelers!!!

Connie Schmidt (& Delilah) 

and 

Krystle & Justin Occleshaw!

WE ARE SO BLESSED AND EXCITED TO HAVE YOU!!!!

Double.Quick.Start.EXTENDED!

Double quick start has been extended! If you have girls waiting to sign, let them know that NOW is the time!!!

Keeping.It.Personal

For you new jewelers, you didn't know Joan Horner. She was the most wonderful woman. She was sweet, and encouraging, and she and Andy built Premier, with its amazing philosophy and objectives, starting at the age of 65! To say Joan was LOVED and CHERISHED would be an incredible understatement. You should have her devotional (or will receive it soon in your kit), & I highly recommend reading it.

Anyway, you will see lots of WWR (We Will Remember) in your time with Premier. It's our way of remember Joan. And I am particularly excited about THIS promotion!!

So this promotion is LOADED with fun for the jeweler!! :) 

1. CALL YOUR HOSTESSES! Book your May home shows! We are going to get $100 in FREE jewelry for EVERY $1000 we sell! I've NEVER seen that. HOW EXCITING!!!! I CANT WAIT to shop! :) I currently have 3 home shows and 2 training shows booked for May. My goal is to book 1 more!

2. DOUBLE when you attend Rally? NO WAY! That almost PAYS for your Rally registration!!

3. A CHARM!!!! For you new girls, Premier used to award some sort of pin for every accomplishment in Premier. Now they have just announced the charm bracelet. Below is the announcement, so you can see for yourself. Since we are having Connie's training show on the 12th, I'll be getting my first charm! :) (And I'll be getting my builder charm shortly after that!) I know that Diana earned her quick start, and so did Brittany. CONNIE & KRYS are on their way to quick start as well! And I know Diana is working on Joan's Rookie Team (that's my personal favorite charm; I think it has a baseball on the other side). I can't wait to see all of your charms!!

National.Rally

Until you have experienced it, there is no way to understand how wonderful and important National Rally is. Every year I leave inspired & motivated. I have new ideas, new excitement for my business, and new friends! National Rally is the BEST trainings from the TOP people in the company. MARK YOUR CALENDAR, find your babysitters! This is the place to be! :)

National Rally is July 12-14 in Dallas, TX. I know Diana has family there she plans to visit. Brian and I have my brother. However, if several of us go, I think we should just get a hotel near the convention center (Devin is an hour away) and split the cost. I have ALREADY booked a suite (three beds) so that we can spend some time together! Hopefully we don't have to cancel it! 

Husbands are invited and ENCOURAGED to come. OR you can bring a guest.

Registration is $160 for jewelers and $135 for guests. That will include several of your meals. 

Who plans to be there?!

Guest.Survey

So I've been doing this for over two years now, and I have probably used at least 4 different versions of a guest survey. This is my favorite so far. I like it for several reasons.

First, it's clean. I use a half sheet (as opposed to some people's quarter sheet) just because it looks less cluttered and it's also easier to store. I put them right with the order forms when I close the order.

I also am getting the  most important information. Of course I want people to like the show. So I take their feedback about what they like. I also want to know who will book! I've found several different ways to word this. I like this wording best because it reminds the guest that they are doing this for the sake of their friend too! :)

Most importantly, it gives me good info on whether or not the person is interested in the business. I collect these at the end. If the guests has circled 8 or above, I try and schedule a time that night to get with them in the next few days. If they circle 5-7, I call within the next couple of days to follow up. A 4 and  below, I put on my list to keep in contact with, and I invite them when I have OP nights, etc.

Let me know if you would like a PDF copy.

Sponsoring.Blitz.Postcard

In some areas, Premier is sponsoring a Sponsoring Blitz! Here its the postcard, front and back that I am using. Let me know if you would like an email copy.
