My Sassy "Always Prepared" Box
Ok, so I've been in Premier two and a half years now, and this is the first time I've tried this. I've heard it taught about several times, so obviously it works for somebody! And I've had several moments where I'd wished I'd had one. So here goes: My Sassy Always Prepared Box.
The idea is you have a box that you keep in your car in case of any circumstance where you may need something Premier-related. Maybe you meet someone at the mall who you convince needs some free jewelry to go with that new wardrobe! Maybe you're having coffee with a friend and she starts asking a million questions about your business. Well, voila!
My Sassy Always Prepared Box contains: hostess packets with catalogs in them, extra catalogs, opportunity brochures, blank note cards, mini-catalogs, and premier charm bracelets (my gift to those who do an OP with me).
I can't wait to see YOURS! :)
PS. If you're DYING to have this box, I found it at TJ Maxx for $9!

July Promotion
Hey girls!
Prepare yourselves! Fall is our BUSIEST season!! Everyone wants to prep for Christmas, plus it's super exciting that the new line is out! NOW is the time to get the ball rolling. Use this July special postcards to get in touch with ALL of your prospective hostesses. DON'T BE SHY. Remember, if they've said no before, usually that means "not right now." Premier provides great post cards, so KEEP IT SIMPLE. Don't spend hours creating your own. Print these on card stock, write a personal note on the back, and plop them in the mail! Make sure you get postcard stamps, they're cheaper than regular postage. Send one to EVERYONE. Think of people who:

have said "maybe later"
have cancelled their show
have been excited about the new line
hosted a show more than 4-6 months ago
still have never been to a show
have complimented your jewelry recently
have told you they need more money
have mentioned shopping for Christmas
like to shop
need some girl time
like free stuff
You DO know somebody on this list!! To get your fall booked, you're going to need to start somewhere. YOU CAN DO IT! :) Call me if you need ideas.

Thank You Cards without the Postage!!
Hey girls,
So forever I've been wishing I were better at thank you cards for my guests. I almost ALWAYS send one to my hostess. You should ALWAYS ALWAYS do that. But sending to all of the guests gets daunting! Well welcome to 2012: the age of technology! I know email is not nearly as personal, but this is just too good to pass up. This morning I got the email with the tracking number from my latest show, and I decided on THIS fun project!
Punchbowl is an online ecard website. They have LOTS of really cute options and tons of ways to personalize it. Some of it is paid members only, but there are PLENTY of free options (I use free only). SO today I sent an ecard to my hostess thanking her, and then one to each of her guests! Some of them got a general note (I resend the same card, just changing the name), and others got something specific. One of the girls plans to host a show in September, so I mentioned something about that in hers. One of the girls wants to come to another show, so I mentioned a friend's upcoming show.
For the guests, I also included how much free jewelry the hostess got. :) You can send these in bulk, but I chose to send one at a time for the sake of being able to personalize them a little bit more.
Here's what the steps look like:
Here's an example to a guest (I didn't realize until AFTER I sent this first one that there are typos! No worries, I changed it):
This is SO much faster and CHEAPER than sending cards in the mail, yet it gives your customers another way to remember you. This would be a great option for 60-day check ups, if you're having a hard time with that, or even reminder emails for different aspects of hostess coaching!

Here's what the steps look like:
| First you choose your design. There are a TON of cute options! |
| Then you add to the inside. You can write on both sides and can change the font, size, color, alignment, etc. |
| Then you can change the inside of your envelope, the rubber stamper and even the postage!!! |
Here's an example to a guest (I didn't realize until AFTER I sent this first one that there are typos! No worries, I changed it):
| The front |
| The inside. I love the font options! |
| The envelope. I changed the inside to match the stamp :) |

Typical Me..
I love this quote by Eleanor Roosevelt. From what I know, she was a pretty awesome lady. I have a biography on her... but I haven't read it. Typical me.
I'm really good at a lot of things. Procrastination is probably close to the top of the list. I am REALLY good at making excuses for myself. "I'm too busy" or "I don't know where to start" or "I don't have anyone to call." I have probably come up with more excuses, at some point or another, than all of you combined. I'm good at excuses.
But you know what, I'm also good at doing. When I'm in the mood, I can rock Premier. Premier has been really great for me in May. It was my highest sales month I've had in a WHILE, plus Krystle and Connie joined us! But what I've realized is: that didn't just happen. Suddenly, I was in the mood to ask for shows, and had a little extra courage. I was motivated to do some extra advertisement, and make some extra phone calls. I did better about keeping up with my hostesses... and then I had less cancellations! Who would have thought!? :) And THEN. Vacation happened. I didn't do what I was supposed to, and you know what: I had TWO cancellations in June. I have had a hard time wanting to work instead of do other things.
Insert Krystle! If you guys don't know or haven't talked to Krystle lately. SHE IS AWESOME! She is just energetic and positive and REALLY hard working. And I am so proud of her! Tonight, she held a DOUBLE mystery hostess show (drawing TWO hostesses!), just so that she can walk on stage for her quick start at RALLY!!! GO KRYS! :)
I've been talking to her a lot, and just convicted of my own lackadaisical demeanor. And then I saw this quote:

BAM! That's all I needed. I have two choices! So... I got to work tonight. And I felt really good about it. And then I realized I haven't posted for you all in a while! (Procrastination at its best!). So I thought I would just come on here and say HEY! I'm here for you if you need me. If you need some motivation, or ideas to get started, or just wanna tell me how YOU have been rocking it, let me know! You can comment here or email me!
I love you girls SO much! Seriously, I am SO proud of my downline. Vickie and I are constantly talking about each one of you (seriously - that's not just faux-motivation talking) and how awesome you all are! PLEASE let me know if you need anything!
XOXO -
Your Premier Momma :)
