Thursday terrific Tip

I wanted to share this incredible quote. When you think of what you want to do with your business and your life............... You get to decide. Do you want to do what everyone else does, or do you want to do the incredible how about the impossible. The decision is ours.
Have a Terrific Thursday and remember, no one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

“I only want people around me who can do the impossible.”
Elizabeth Arden
(1878–1966)
Canadian businesswoman, style mogul

Monday's Tip ~ using your time wisely!

There are 1,440 minutes per day and 10,080 minutes per week and there are no more. In our profession of Direct Sales every minute counts. Whether you work full time with Direct Sales or you have another job and are representing a company for additional income your time is valuable.
Decide each day how much time you can spend on your business.
  1. 15 minutes ~ you can make 3 to 5 phone calls, whether you connect or leave a message. Perhaps when you get their voice mail you could say something like this: "Hi this is ____ with _________ and your fingers can't dial fast enough to connect with me so I can share some exciting news I have for you. My number is ________ "
  2. Save money~by having your party or show folders or packets ready for new bookings/shows. When you are at your event and you schedule new activites you can give your new host the envelope with all her info for her party. No mailing or dropping off later which cost you time and money.
  3. Keep track of mileage. Go to your bank and get a couple of extra check book registers. Each time you leave your home put the date/destination of your trip/beginning milege/ending mileage/total miles

Let make it a marvelous Monday and remember!

Friday's Fantastic Tip

Whether you've been in business 3 days, 3 weeks, 3 months, 3 years or more ~ customer/client contact is vital. People you know, need to know that you are in business and what your business is. What your business is? Tip ~ it is not your product. When ask what do you do an answer of I do ___________ (name of your product) does not share with them what you do.

  • I help families save over $700 a year with proper food storage
  • Would you enjoy loving the feel of your skin and looking 10 years younger
  • I enjoy helping families preserve their treasured memories
  • Staying in touch with clients, family and friends is made easy, may I show how

Make it a great weekend!

Hello from Syl


Hi everyone. So many of you who I've had the privilege to either work with, be in a networking group with and share with over the years ~ many of you have been asking me to create a blog where I can share tips and ideas and word choices.

Well today I took the leap and here we go.

As most of you know I've been in the direct sales field for over 35 years. I love it. 31 years ago I open my business with Tupperware® and after just 2 years of "playing" around with the business I left my job as adminstrative assistant with the 7-Up Company and have been full time with Tupperware® ever since.

I have always enjoyed training, speaking and helping people motivate themselves to greater success. I have been a guest trainer with other companies and have enjoyed speaking on different subjects at eWomen Network meetings. I am a Life Time Member with the Direct Selling Women's Alliance which is a wonderful organization that is in place to add training, motivation and more to everyone, no matter which Direct Selling Company you are privileged to be a part of.

I look forward to sharing as we go forward.

Let's make it a Fantastic Friday and beyond.

Syl :) :)
