Systems for Client Follow Up

Greats systems from a fellow Founding Executive!

I needed a system for follow up too. I started using an email scheduler. It is saving my sanity! Mine is called Right In Box, though there are others.

As soon as my customers order, I mail them a post card thank you. I write these in bulk so I just have to print a label when they order. I check my dash every day and print a label. Easy.

As soon as my customers order, I also pop over into my email and schedule an automatic email for 2 weeks and 2 months later. I have templates that I copy/paste. All I have to do is add the customer's email address and hit "send later" Now I don't have to remember to follow up. Before, I was marking these in my planner for certain days each month. I function much better this way.

Once a month, I add all of my new clients to Mail Chimp and I send a monthly newsletter through that too. I highlight new wraps (SSE, Hostess Exclusive), seasonal trends, bookings, etc.

I've found that putting my customer follow up on auto-pilot has given me more time to focus on my team.

Tips for Networking from Direct Sales Leaders

Noel Giger:
  • Search on meetup or Facebook for your town or area and "small business" "networking" "entrepreneurs" "vendors" to find groups and events.
  • Stay positive NO MATTER WHAT. If this is a struggle area, I recommend Dana Wilde's book and trainings.  Keep in mind that YOU are your brand - what you post ANYWHERE and EVERYWHERE is a reflection of you/your brand!

  • Have a great elevator speech, 30 second commercial, response to "so, what do you do?"

10 Strategies for Being a Top 10 Producer

10 Strategies for Being a Top 10 Producer
1. Hard Work. Top producers bust it. Laziness isn’t a top 10 quality. You must have the willingness to bust your chops and stay at it. You’ll be ripping through some calories to the top 10 in anything you do. Physical and mental challenges are part of the climb to the top.

2. Focus. Top people do ONE thing damn good. They are NOT a “jack of all trades”, but

Scripts for Booking Parties

Prepare first!
Have your calendar already figured out!
  1. Fill in Family Obligations (birthdays, anniversaries, special days, vacations, lunch with hubby, ice cream with the kids, kid’s practices, games, presentations, etc.)
  2. Fill in anything already booked: Events, Parties, Training Calls

Getting Bookings for Jamberry Parties - advice from the leaders!

Mandy M.  I love to do Private demos. I get them to my house one on one and when they see the magic happen on their pretty little fingers and want to order I say..... GIRL!!! Don't buy! Host a party and get them for free!!!! Works every time!!!

Patricia C. The best way *I* get parties booked? I tell myself to go for No - my goal is to ASK, no matter the outcome. My sponsor challenged me to get 30 No's in 3 days. I have asked 18 with 4 No, 1 Not Now, 3 Yes, and the rest have yet to respond. I have to ask more people today to finish at least my 30, and follow up next week with those who have not responded.
