Looking to 2015 with great exciement

2015 is just right around the corner and boy am I excited about it!!!

How about you are you getting excited?

I have been with Ruby Ribbon for 1 year officially and looking back on my year it has been an awesome journey not free from my share of bumps in the road but I have overcome them and 2014 has been successful.

I started last December wanting to make senior stylist and within my first month I sponsored my first recruit and sold $1500 promoting to Sr. Stylist then my next goal was to become leader, as the year progressed I added 2 more awesome stylists to my team and In November we first month qualified  the team worked so hard, and I appreciate each and every one of my stylists they all 3 add something to my team.  December has been a whirlwind with Lisa joining us in WV for our dream Big event and my fabulous team working hard to get us over the finish line for leader and so we can officially be a TEAM!

Still have quite a bit to go but we are going to do this!!!

It is very important to look at your own business as we close out 2014 and welcome 2015

-What did you do in 2014 that helped you jump into success?
-- you want to hold on to those activities, traits, mindsets for 2015

-What did you do in 2014 that did not work?
-- you need to ask yourself why it did not work and change this for 2015

-Where do you want to go in 2015?
--do you just want to be a stylist? what about building your own team?  think about where you want to be financially and career wise for 2015 and make a plan

-Make a monthly goal, quarter goal(1,2,3,4), yearly goal
-- write this goal down on paper-- you can also do a visual goal sheet where you print pictures of what you want and place this somewhere you will see it

Last December I was just getting started with my business but I knew I wanted to build a team now a year I have a small but mighty team and we are making dreams come true with Ruby Ribbon!

This year my goals and ambitions will be in the form of a scrapbook journal I am so excited about it
I plan on writing a business plan style goal for 2015
taking pictures and placing them inside along with business updates and scrapbook of my customers and trunk shows(I am an avid scrap-booker at heart, so it only makes since to do my plan and goals this way)
You could journal your plan and goals, scrapbook, or cut and paste on a poster-board or a corkboard
it is vital to success in this type of business to be goal oriented and be able to change plan midstream if your current plan isn't working.

I want to share my team goals for 2015
- Triple our team in size
-build teams in our team
-Have better communication I would like to have a team call 1 per month where we can all be on the call together and discuss topics that will help us to grow our businesses
--What are your thoughts on this?  I do call each of you once per month but what if we could all talk together and since we don't all live close I believe the only way would be to have a team call meeting
-Instead of the check-in calls I want to do a team newsletter 1 per month to inform you of any promotions, what is going on in the team, and a training spot on different items
-- now of course anytime you need to talk to me on the phone you can do that
-I want to do a team event at Runway or after Runway if everyone cant make it
-- we can carpool and share hotel rooms at runway to decrease our overall cost of the event 

I would love to have a team call during the first part of January to discuss team goals and personal goals-- we are all in this together and we can encourage each other to meet our goals no matter how small or big they may be!

Are you planning a hope and toast event? 
I am planning one for my clients and hostesses nothing large just something to say Thanks for supporting me and sharing my hopes and dreams for 2015, inviting them to join me in 2015!

If you have any questions or just want to talk please call me

This is the season to be selling
Everyone is looking for gifts to buy

According to your commission you can decide the discount or sale

Examples

• Buy 2 get the 3rd ___% off
• Buy one get one
• Free shipping
• Tax free shopping
• Free petals or lingerie bag with purchase of cami

I know each of us have a Personal sales goal we are trying to meet

Why is this goal so important?
We will officially be a team recognized by the home office--this will give us the opportunity to hold special events, get extra training, and the recognition is great!!!

I know that some of you desire to build a team yourself-- I am so excited to help each of you build your businesses and when we officially become a team I will be able to work more one on one with you to help you reach your goals of leadership!

recap from weekend

We just came off an awesome weekend lets keep that enthusiasm going

Things we learned this weekend

• How to sell outside your warm circle?
• Your warm circle is your friends, family, neighbors
• How to get bookings at your trunk shows
• How to recruit successfully
• What our paycheck looks like and where it comes from
• Building a career with ruby ribbon

I have a training packet I can give you if you missed the training and would like one

Lets keep going we have a BIG 10 days ahead of us

• Call all past customers asking if they need a fresh hug(cami)
• Try to book at least 1 extra trunk show in your schedule

black Friday

Ruby ribbon is doing their first ever Black Friday event
What a great way to finish our month out strong-- remember the hostess incentive will continue through December so get those calendars booked!!!

I am hosting a pop in shop at my house on Saturday from 11-3
What are you planning for the weekend?

The deal is unlimited

Buy any piece of shapewear and get a fall fashion top at 50%

I hope that you and your family had a happy Thanksgiving

If you need anything please let me know
Danielle

Mid-month check-in

Have you looked at your calendar lately?

Do you have shows booked for next month?  How about the rest of this month-- have you met your sales goal?  Will you meet your goal next month?

Here is what I do when I am needing a few extra sales for the month

• E-mail all customers to let them know about any promotions we have if there is not a promotion I always put a picture of a favorite outfit/shapewear and let them know when I will be placing an order
• Post on Facebook not too much but sprinkle in Ruby ribbon in your regular everyday posts
• Call customers from a past catalog letting them know about our awesome new products and try to schedule a Private Styling Consultation
• Host your own open house/trunk show at your house to get orders I typically do a mystery hostess with these so it encourages orders

Do you have any ideas that you can share on how to get a few extra sales for the month? 

I want to encourage you that you can do it just keep working keep doing it-- don't stop!!!!

One thing that I have learned is that I was not treating my other direct sales experiences like a business I didn't treat it like a real job, I believe that is why I was never successful in those companies.  From the beginning I have treated Ruby Ribbon like a business, like a real second job for me.  If we treat this like a hobby we are not going to go anywhere but if we treat it like a real job we will go places with Ruby Ribbon.  I am so excited to see where Ruby Ribbon is taking me.

If you need help strategizing for your calendar please let me or Heather know
Remember you are beautiful inside and out and you CAN DO IT!!!

Welcome November

November is here YAY!!! What does that mean for us?

• New monthly goals
• New trunk shows
• New opportunities

This is an especially exciting month for me as I am working towards first month qualifying leader!  I can use your help by meeting your personal sales goals and booking your calendars!  If you need help or ideas on filling your calendar please reach out to me this weekend!

November is a Month that is focused on Thankfulness and being thankful-- I wanted to take a moment to say what I am thankful for in my Ruby Ribbon world

• The fact that I  took that leap of faith last December and joined Ruby Ribbon
• Each one of you my girls: Pauletta, Betty, and Shelly--With you we are bringing Ruby Ribbon to each part of our wonderful state WV--I am thankful for the friendships that have been created in our little (growing) team
• My awesome customers without them my goals would not be attainable
• Heather our current leader, her constant encouragement and assistance is unbelievable she is always willing and ready to help with any problems that we may have big or small .  My hope is that I can be a leader like heather!
• To Anna for having the vision and creating this awesome company, without you none of us would be living the dream!

What are you thankful for this November?

Working towards the goal of leader is a lot of fun but a lot of work
(fun work)
We have to meet a team sales goal of $3,000 with 4 of us currently that is $750.00 each-- now I know that a couple of you have a higher personal goal so if you meet your personal goal this month I will be giving a FREE cami in your choice of color and size for you or your rack!
(if you need to know what you had put as your personal goal just send me a message and I can let you know)
Any recruit in November that launches her business will of course help-- if you have a lead and need help sharing the opportunity please let myself or Heather know!

Cheering each of you on to an AWESOME November!

Have you thought about doing after work parties?

A new growing trend in direct sales businesses
Consultants and stylists alike are taking their products into corporate offices, schools, medical offices and more, after work hours for a quick shopping experience.
 
It is a known fact that women put off shopping for a bras, clothes, anything really due to kids events and taking care of family needs after work.
 
By bringing the products to women at work they are able to justify shopping since they are not really taking much extra time to shop.
 
I think that ruby ribbon trunk shows are a perfect fit for office parties, I have thought about doing after work parties for awhile now, I will probably plan one for this month or December.
If you plan one share with the team how it went(in the forum)
 
Recently Ruby Ribbon was featured in an article with Glamour Magazine
Find that article here

http://bit.ly/rrglamour

You can use this article as a way to present the idea to working women

If you have any questions let me know

how to enter a booking bonus

When entering a booking bonus you will need to make sure you add your previous hostess(getting the reward) to the guest list.
In her order scroll down to discount code and type in rrbookingbonus and apply then it will pop up to choose item for 75% off add to the order
Don't add the item until you add the code

If you have any question please let me know

Danielle

When Setting up your rack...

It can get confusing on what items to put where and why so here is the way to stack your rack from left to right

1. Shaping essentials- this is where our company is set a part from the rest-- Wardrobe basics with shape wear built in!  Tops first, then skirts, then pants

2. Shape wear- the best shape wear on the market-- Classic cami, Full support, shaping brief, HWTS, slip, torsette, sheer collection: cami, briefs

3. Fashion layers- our gorgeous fashion line--

4. Holiday line if you have it

5. Gift sets

Try to follow the order of the catalog so the guests can follow along

Once you get your rack stacked make sure you wrap it up with your ruby ribbon sign like a present!

Retired items that should be removed from your rack
-Ruched top in misty gray
-Ruched skirt in misty gray
-boho tunic in citrus
-cabaña tunic- multi
-modern shift dress
-mock tank- white

If you have samples of the retired items you may sell the samples at a 40% discount(minimum discount you can deeply discount if you wish but you cannot sell with less than 40% discount)

I have kept my rushed items for extra sizes but make sure you tell the guests that it is only available in black
you could keep the mock tank for extra sizes if you have those again make sure you tell the guests it is only available in black

If you have any questions please let me know

Book your trunk shows and events

In the back office by going to manage trunk shows and add a new event

This is very important to keep the home office informed of our events to yep keep inventory levels where they need to be.

As a team it is important to see what the team has scheduled for the month to help plan to meet team goals.

Occasionally I will do team contests for bookings I will not be able to reward you without your events logged into the back office.

As a stylist it is important because once you enter it in the back office you will set up the hostess portal which is super helpful in coaching your hostess for a successful party

For the first promotion for our team during the month of November

Book and close 3 trunk shows before November 21st and receive a FREE came in your desired color and size!!!(you can keep yourself or you can use on your rack)

Keep up the great work girls

If you have any questions on booking your trunk shows please let me know

Ideas on booking fall and Holiday Shows

Here are just a few ideas presented by Donna Versola Director of Sales West, shared from Mary Ann Senior Leader of our team

• Start with Stocking Stuffers- start each presentation till Christmas with stocking stuffer ideas
• -petals
• -3 pack panties

• Blender/Vendor events
• -set up a small vendor even with other direct sellers
• - remember to only invite ones that you trust
• -try to avoid completion: jewelry is not direct competition but it is considered an emotional purchase which could take customers away from you
• -pampered chef, tastefully simple, candle companies
• Everyone invites customers and friends so we all benefit
• November is a fabulous time to set one up
• Think about your hostess schedule shows on weeknights or Saturday mornings to reduce cancellations
• Hostess happy hour- 1 hour only- snacks, shopping then off to the next event

• Food pantry show- bring a canned food to donate to a food pantry you can match the donation or give customer free shipping if they bring a canned food item

• Offer a WOW show- within one week offer a incentive to do this-- gift bags filled with small gifts and the hostess packet

• Invite guests to shape up their Holiday wardrobe-- encourage them to bring a holiday outfit and then help her pick appropriate shape wear

• Have a boutique shop in your home every ... day at... time- make up postcard invites to pass out for women to be able to stop by and shop
• The post card should say something like this: "My shop is open every Wednesday Evening from 5-7PM and I would love for you to stop by and take a look at our fabulous fall and gorgeous Holiday items... including several easy gift ideas!"

More ideas are available in the back office on recorded calls
If you have an idea share on our team forum

Promote in October

October is the perfect month to promote to the next level on the career plan

Why not earn 30% instead of 20%?

All you need is at least one active stylist and monthly sales of $1500.00

So you have the sales but no recruits-- what to do?

Start thinking about potential stylists that you can share the opportunity with

Keep your radar on to look for potential stylists looking for the opportunity

- Anyone who asks lots of questions about your business such as the following

- Do you enjoy your job?

- How much inventory do you have to keep?

 - Is it easy being a stylist?

 - How much money do you actually make?

 - How many days do you have to work?

 - Are the samples really yours?

When sharing the opportunity remember to always be happy and positive never pushy remember how it was when you signed up yourself

The back office has all the resources you will need to make up some opportunity packets and training on how to share the opportunity

If you need help or would rather have myself, heather or someone else share with you and your potential stylist we would be more than happy to do that just let one of us know

I am here for you and ready to help you promote in October!

Cheers

recap from team call 9/16/2014

Wow what an awesome call last night with Lisa S.  our director of sales east coast!

In case you missed it here are some notes I jotted down during the call

• Fall statistics

• August 1-15 
• 86 shows nationwide
• $746.00 average trunk show 
• 5.7 people attended trunk show
• people purchased an average of 1.7 pieces
• September 1-14
• 91 shows nationwide
• $1000.00 average trunk show
• 6.7  people attended trunk shows
• people purchased an average of 2.23 pieces

We are truly a fashion company now

• 20% of all orders from fall have included a ponte pant 
• 24% of all orders from fall have included fashion pieces

Be a business partner not a pushy sales person

• If we are pushy the hostess will back out of hosting a trunk show previously scheduled
• If we are pushy the customer will buy something she did not necessarily like and then never come back
• If we are a business partner we will be able to secure hostesses and trunk shows
• If we are a business partner we will be able to  help a customer find what she truly needs and she will be our customer long term

The first thing to do is take an interest in her, reassure her of any obstacles she may have, ask again for a date

Never leave a party without a date written down-- the "let me get back with you" line is only going to cause a lot of work and frustration on both you and the potential hostess-- nail down a date the night of the show and then call for a followup to make sure that the date is going to work.

Everyone was e-mailed a copy of the handout we used during the call 

If you have any questions please let us know

Connect

I am so excited and proud to be a Ruby ribbon stylist, the home office continues to amaze me with the amount of training they provide to their stylists!

They recently released the new mobile learning platform called CONNECT

Stylists are given tasks and when tasks get complete we get points

This type of training is more like playing a game instead of learning, which makes for a positive reaction.

If you have not already check your E-mail from the home office and sign into Connect and begin having fun!

If you have any questions let me know

What to do when no one shows up

I think we have all been there at some point.  It is that moment when you have prepared for a trunk show (party), you have sent invitations, you have prepared food, you have cleaned your house, and no one shows up. 

As a stylist it is hard when this happens to know what to do to resolve the situation.

If you are close to the hostess you can do one of two things

1. Help her reach out to her guest list and see if anyone had forgotten and would still like to come
2. Go ahead and do a Private Styling Consultation and allow your hostess to take up outside orders

However you choose to handle it remember to always be positive and reassure her that it is fine it is never a waste of your time.  Make it about her, that you want her to have a party to get the awesome benefits, never make it about you and your check.

If you are not close to the hostess you could still handle it the same way or
1. you could also offer to reschedule
2. schedule private styling consultations with her guest list (let her know this will delay in getting the order)

When it happens to you personally it can be very discouraging, mainly because we don't have someone (stylist) supporting us and fixing it.  We have to remember not to take it personally (easier said than done) here is how to help resolve this

1. Reach out to guest list by phone( not text) and just say you missed them at your event and kindly ask why they didn't come most of the time you will find they forgot
2. Offer to do private styling consultations
3. Offer to do a trunk show for the guest

Don't let poor showings at trunk shows discourage and defeat you!
