“where it’s not just about the Destination, it’s the Journey to get there!”

I was looking through some photos on a friends Facebook page and she was showing pictures of her trip in Arizona (which happens to be the state I now live in). If you use Facebook, you will know that people can add comments to peoples status updates and their photos and photo albums. Some of these strings of conversation get pretty long.

The snippets of conversation turned into how dry Arizona is and how dry her skin is getting. All of a sudden there are women throwing out the names of these products they love and what has worked for them, myself included! Some were even posting links to the product for her to see.

Here are all these women… selling someone elses product for them and getting no commission. HUH?

“Do you use a Conference Call line? Or phone one?”

I am a Conference Caller Junkie and I’m not ashamed to say it!  There, now that I got that off my chest!

In the last few months, I have been ‘awoken’ to the “internet rampage”….where at the tip of your fingertips is knowledge and learning.  I have to admit though that I am a “Sensory” learner…I like to ‘read’ what I am learning, and ‘hear’ what I am learning. So I have been opened up to the whole “Free Conference” experience.

It’s great and wonderful!  For about an hour every day, I love learning about Personal Development, Business Development and all sorts of wonderful things….all for the price of a telephone call, as well as Hosting calls too!  So, I got a great North American phone bundle from Telus…and off I went.

All was great until a few weeks ago…Telus phoned me to ‘inform’ me that the States has made some ‘drastic changes’ to their area code numbers.  They had decided that two area codes (712) and (218) would no longer be available to ANY group plans….that a flat rate of .20 cents per minute would be initiated ASAP.   So, reguardless of what ‘telephone package/bundle’ I had, I would now be charged.  Telus had a personal rep phone me and let me know of this change….as they had noticed that I phoned BOTH those area codes quite frequently….ya think? (I also host 2x’s per week Women’s Mastermind Groups…one for Home Business..and another for Women’s Empowerment)

Sure enough, I looked up my Free Conference line numbers, and yup…the (712) area code was in each and everyone of them.  That means that for me to Host…or to Listen to a Conference, TeleSeminar etc…it’s now going to cost me about $20/hr!  PER HOUR!!!

Thank goodness that I have a wonderful telephone provider that called me personally and let me know of these changes, but then I got thinking about the Thousands of other people who use “Free Conference” or any type of Conferencing Line? Do you know of the changes?  How will this affect your business??

Last week our Mastermind group had to be VERY creative….because I didn’t want to pay that fee…so we arranged several people to three way each other…and somehow managed!

So, check who you use….ask your telephone service provider if you are affected by these changes, because at the end of the month, I can guarantee that there are going to be some very very HUGE phone bills for alot of Canadians and American’s…and that You will be caught “unaware” until too late.

Here is a link you might like to read up on…  What’s with the 712 area Code?

A few years ago I was doing a home party show and was doing my Hostess Coaching with a great gal!

I knew she had done a few other different parties with other companies, but even knowing this I made it a point to set a coffee date so that we could sit down and go over the hostess package!

I met her at her home, brought the package and proceeded to go over the details.

We went over some key things that I do for every hostess:

• Brainstorm for guest names
• Discuss that if someone cannot make the show, they can definitely place an order
• I always tell my hostess’s that they know their guests better than I do, and how I do not like to “push sales on anybody”, so with this in mind if she has a guest who is on a ‘fixed budget’ this would be the ideal person that she could talk to…to host her own party!
• We also discuss how the hostess will contact people, and a ‘warm way to invite them’

My hostess was ECTASTIC and over the edge with happiness!

She gushed on how “no other consultant had set out clearly” about having a party!

UH???  I was stunned.

I had “ASSUMED” (ya know the old saying…it makes an ASS-Out-of-U-and-ME) that because my friend had several other parties with other companies, she would know all the fun details about being a hostess!!!

I was also pleasantly surprised by her warm “thanks” about how to even “invite her guests”…this was always something she had dreaded doing in the past…and she mentioned such things like:

• I never knew Exactly what to say when I invited people….so I’d usually say something stupid like “oh just come…have fun…I don’t expect you to buy anything” ((uh, even tho she did want them to buy a little something))
• Sitting down and making a list was always daunting and I put it off…but now we’ve done it together..thanks!!
• I never thought of keeping the food simple…I had no idea about giving people too many choices..I always thought I had to put together a huge COSTLY spread..thanks for simplifying it!
• I’m looking forward to this party, you have made it fun!

It just goes to show ya all….never assume that people who have had tonnes of other parties know even just the basics of having a Successful party…sure you mite get the seats filled…but filled with people who have no INTENTIONS of spending anything!!!

Think about it & I’d love to hear some of your most fun Hostess’s!!!

“Where its not just about the Destination, it’s the Journey to Get there!”

My tribute to parents!

I found this fascinating quote today:

“M” is for the million things she gave me,

“O” means only that she’s growing old, “T” is for the tears she shed to save me,

“H” is for her heart of purest gold;

“E” is for her eyes, with love-light shining,

 “R” means right, and right she’ll always be,

Put them all together, they spell “MOTHER,” A word that means the world to me. –Howard Johnson

Quite often when our family has guests in our home, my husband can make the Best Steak in the world. 

He is often asked “How to Cook a New York Strip Steak  to perfection” and he just smiles and never really gives away his secret. 

After all, a great cook knows how to keep his audience coming back for more & more & more!

I, on the other hand, love to talk and share my knowledge with everyone around me. 

In the past when I’ve worked with hundreds of ladies in the Home Party business Christmas was usually pretty good!

Lots of Customers! Lots of Hostesses! Lots and I mean LOTS of Sales!

Then came January.  Typically the slowest month for the Party Business….but not in my group!

I worked with my awesome and amazing team to make sure they started out the yr with a Bang (no pun intended..lol) and they sure did.

When other teams were struggling (arrrggghhhh hate that word) MY team was Thriving. 

Sure they had a few shows cancel or postpone, but they had plenty to cover that!

And when other teams were trying to ‘ReBuild’ in Feb……MY team consistently signed up new People, had high shows and kept their INCOME Rolling IN!?   Why?

Because I taught them well!  

I gave them Simple and Usable Tips/Strategies to do every Day!

Their shows CONTINUED well into January (then Feb…Mar…and April….amazing how that works!), their CUSTOMER/HOSTESS Base grew, and best of all…..so did their POCKETBOOKS! Ka-Ching!

Now my mission is to help other ladies, no matter what your home biz is! 

These are the tips and encouragment I used with MY team for over 9 yrs! Now you can benefit too!

You can learn “How to cook a New York Strip Steak” in your business, and have people asking how you did it….you can just smile!

If you weren’t happy with your results in 2008, don’t SETTLE for your results in 2009  CREATE New and Better ones!

I recently just wrote an article for a Woman’s Monthly Newsletter to which I titled “Spam or BLAM!”

I guess the point I wanted to make is are you email driven? or personal contact driven.

Since I can’t physically talk to hundreds of my customers a week, I know the importance of sending out pertinent Newsletters and Emails that may help my clients even more…. but there is something about the personal touch too! Read the rest of this entry »
