Stampy Wackers TOO Up!date August 2005
Working while vacationing in Beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia,
Canada!
The girls are sound asleep after climbing the Grouse Grind
today, 2.9km straight up the side of Grouse Mountain. The signs say
"difficult,
steep, for the physically fit". They also say the average
completion
time for hiking up the Grind is 1.5 hours. We completed it
in
2.5 hours, but complete it we did. Mackensie was the first one to the
top!
Fortunately there is a Gondola ride down. I could easily be
sleeping
too, but I didn't want to delay sending this message to you. Our
server
for my website is currently down until we arrive back home later this
week.
If any of the links in this message don't work, try again friday!

*** OPPORTUNITY
NIGHT
***
A great way to turn potential demonstrators into New Demonstrators
is by hosting an Opportunity Night. These events can help someone
progress in the process of deciding whether the demonstrator
opportunity is right for
her. An event that is focused on sharing information, answering
questions about demonstrating, and providing group support in this new
business. Find Opportunity
Night information on the Stampin' Up! website. If you are
local to me, join me at the Opportunity Night I am hosting on Tuesday,
August 23, 7pm. Invite your recruit leads. No need to
create your Opportunity Night, there is power and excitement in a
group! If you are not local to me, host your own or join with
other demonstrators in your area to create your own Opportunity Night.
Who to invite? Anyone to whom you have ever given a recruit
brochure, anyone who has ever asked about minimum sales requirements,
any previous hostess, anyone who has purchased $100 or more in
supplies, anyone you think would make a great demonstrator, anyone who
you think could use an extra $300 per month. As I create the
invitation, presentation, and stamping projects for the Opportunity
Night, I will post them on my webpage for you to CASE (copy and stamp
everything!).
*** BUSINESS QUICK
TIPS ***
Some recruiting tips for you this month as Stampin' Up! has an awesome
reward if you promote. $100 free Stampin' Up! product of your
choice
if you promote to Supervisor or above before September 30. Go for
it!!!
Practice "open recruiting." Tell your story at every show. Keep it
short
and sweet, telling your guests a little bit about yourself and how you
became
involved with the company. Never prejudge your guests because you just
never
know who may be looking for an opportunity like yours. You wouldn't
think
of doing a show without showing your products and handing
out catalogs
and order forms; why would you do a show without "handing out" the
opportunity?
Do you get at least one recruit lead per show? It's been said there are
recruits
at every show, but there's not always a recruiter there.
So, always
make sure the recruiter shows up, tells her story, plants her
seeds
to harvest later and hands out at least three information packets at
every
single show! Then follow up! Remember, brochures and literature don't
recruit
people; people recruit people! So reach out, smile, be friendly, ask
questions
and YOU initiate everything in the recruiting process!
