Dear friends,

This is it!  The last month of your fiscal year.  You have only a few weeks to hit your sales and recruiting goals for 2003-2004.  Are you going to make it?  If you feel like you're really close, be sure to put in that extra effort!

 

Now is the time to decide what you want to accomplish in the next fiscal year.  Write down your goals.  If you haven't put together your Business Plan, do it now!  

 

If there's any way I can help you to define or achieve your goals, please don't hesitate to contact me.

 

Warmest regards and much success,

 

John

Four Things You Can Do RIGHT NOW 

To Build Your Stamping Business

.

Feel like your business is stalling?  Wondering what steps you need to take to grow?  The following four steps are easy, free and can be taken today: 

 

1. Call Your Customers

You're in the customer service industry.  How can you serve your customer's needs if you don't know where they are.  If you actively reach out to your customers, you'll always do more business than if you passively wait for them to come to you.

 

2. Call Your Downline

Even if you see your downline at group meetings, nothing replaces a one-on-one conversation.  Let them know you're paying attention.  Let them know they're not operating their business in a vacuum.  The result is a more productive, highly motivated downline.

 

3. Follow Up After Workshops

After your hostess has delivered all of the orders, call each person who attended the workshop to make sure they have everything they need...and hey...since I have you on the phone, would you like to do a workshop of your own?

 

4. Publish A Monthly Newsletter

The key to marketing is repetition.  A monthly newsletter reminds customers you exist and encourages them to be more active in your business.

coverHow to Say It for Women -

This book is full of practical advice and strategies to help you maximize your efficiency and effectiveness in both areas.
