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

selling ideas for December

This is the season to be selling
Everyone is looking for gifts to buy
How will people know to buy from you?
Make yourself known on social media: post on Facebook, twitter, Instagram and any other site you use, try not to bombard your feed with ruby ribbon posts but a constant sprinkle of ruby ribbon to remind people is a great way to get noticed and have a successful month!

you may want to consider hosting an exclusive sale to your customers
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
We also have a team goal and as of right now we still have $2500.00 to meet that team goal-- I have reached my personal goal so I will be helping to reach this goal.

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!

We have all worked so hard the past two months and I appreciate each and everyone of you and all that you do! If we can just push a little bit I know we can make all of our dreams come true!!!

Lets all plan to take off next wed-Thurs(maybe even Friday) then after we will have 5 or 6 days to finish out our month
