Trying to figure out how to advertise.

noreply@blogger.com (Beauty By Kimmi) — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 18:47:00 +0000

I have been thinking hard all weekend long on exactly how I should advertise my business. Mary Kay has "company issued" websites for us to sell from so we can't edit them or upload anything ourselves. They are really nicely done, full of exciting and fun things to do and a great looking store front but, it's just not me...

I am talking with a sister Diva about making me a 125x125 advertisement to advertise on Diva, Myspace and Blogspot and a larger one for a "welcome" ad for Diva and Myspace. But I am wondering if I should have my Blog overhauled and have a "store front" made to advertise my Mary kay business. My idea is that on the "store front" page, I could advertise my current sales, my blog, my myspace and my Mary Kay team information and updates.

Please post if you have any ideas that I can use to advertise.

Mary Kay is a great opportunity, although, it may not be for everyone. I love the fact that our company was founded on "the Golden Rule"! Our oath says: "to put God first, Family second and Career third". That is wonderful in my eyes! I love fact that I don't have to worry about losing my job if my children become ill and I have to be off for a few weeks. I can take vacation when I want and no one gets upset!

I also love the fact that our starter kit is so affordable, that the women who really NEED to make extra money, are able to get in for only $100.00 plus tax. I know, when I joined, it was because I wanted "girl time" but also because I NEEDED to make extra money quickly. After Hurricane Katrina, I was making alot less than before the storm hit. The financial situation was not pretty, so to speak. I was able to "afford" the kit and start earning right away. Which included everything I needed to get started, it even came with tons of training from Directors, sister consultants and National Sales Directors!

I love this company and my new "family" I have gathered along my career! I really enjoy winning the prizes available every month and the recognition at our company events!

I have been challenged as of today by my National Sales Director to do 30 NEW faces and 30 NEW interviews in the next 30 days! If you would be interested in helping me win my prize, you can do so by calling our interview hotline. It only takes about 3 mintues and it's very simple. Just listen to the message, then leave your name and number and my name (Kim Luxich) and if you are interested in our career opportunity. Then I will get credit!

The number is: 1-212-990-6148

* Everyone who calls gets a free gift from my Director! (I just need you to email me your mailing address so I can mail it out to you)

noreply@blogger.com (Beauty By Kimmi) — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 17:25:00 +0000

I am so happy to offer my Sister Divas this wonderful opportunity!

For 10 days only! You may purchase a STAR certificate to be used now or anytime in the next 12 months!

My director said "just do it!" all the time. Everything she said usually ends with that phrase. I always thought to myself, well thats easy for her to say because she's a very straight to the point person. But I would always linger around, wasting time, and procrastinating!
Yesterday evening, around 5:30pm she called me from another consultant's home and said " I am challenging the two of you (myself and the other consultant) to book 5 appointments by 9pm". And I was thinking and saying the same thing as Cindy! How on earth did she want us to book 5 appointments in less than 4 hours when we were both having trouble getting them all week long? And once again her answer was "Just Do It!" She then hung up, without even saying goodbye. I guess she knew that would put the pressure on me... LOL (she always knows how to get me motivated)

I sat here for about 5 minutes thinking "I just KNOW Cindy will get hers done, so I gotta get moving because I don't want to feel like the lazy one". So I came up with a plan! I started at the top of my "non-regular customers" (the ones that don't order very regularly) and made my calls. I told them I wanted to run by on Wed. evening after my other job and let them try one of our new products really quick and to drop off a new copy of the catalog. Believe it or not out of the first 7 calls, 6 said yes and the other was a voicemail. Well of course I left the message saying I would go ahead and run by unless they called and said it would not be a good time for them. So, in 15 minutes, I had booked 6 definite appointments and 1 tenative one!

I was so excited that I called my director back and she said that the other consultant (whom has been with the company for 3 years and is doing very well) said "do you really think Kim will get 5 bookings tonight?" And my director's reply was "Yes, I know she will, so get busy!" So Cindy was very excited for me, but, nervous about calling from her list of names. But when I told her that I was done with the challenge and actually had an extra, she got into gear! She returned my call by 7pm and said she booked hers too!

So, both Cindy and I have learned a very valuable lesson: Just do it, may seem like a corny thing to say to someone, but when you put it into action, it really does pay off! That will be my new mantra for life!

Before last night, I was on my way out of business so to speak... my datebook was empty. After seeing how easy it really is to just call someone and ask if they would like to try something new or maybe book a class or party, I will definitly be making more phone calls. And as it would go, my Director has challenged both Cindy and Myself to get at least 5 new bookings and 5 new customer contacts every day this week! So it's off to work I go!

Introduction

noreply@blogger.com (Beauty By Kimmi) — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 17:36:00 +0000

I started my Mary Kay business on Feb. 3, 2007. I worked it pretty well, moving up to Team Leader (having 5 team members) by March 30, 2007 and went "on target" for my first career car! I was doing very well. But in order for you to maintain your career status and obtain the car, your recruits also must work as hard as you. After just 2 short months, they, for one reason or another, decided that Mary Kay was not right for them. I can totally understand that. There was no hard feelings. So, I went back down to just a consultant, and was just kind of tagging along. Not putting my all into it! By September, 2007, I had all but given up. Moving into our new house, my daughter being in and out of the hospital, my youngest son's learing disability and so on... was all I thought I could handle. So, I just quit selling for a while. After a few months of really missing what I loved to do, I decided "this is it"! I will make this happen. I always knew I wanted to be a Director and drive the famous Pink Caddie!
So, here I am today. A brand new Sr. Consultant (just added must 1st new recruit Friday) and I am ready to rock! I am determined to make this happen! My family is behind me 100% and nothing can stop me. Nothing at all! Unless God himself takes me before then and I'll probably be up there in heaven facialing the angels. I know in my heart that I have what it takes and I want this, not only for me, but for my family. One of my dreams is to become a National Sales Director so that my husband doesn't have to work anymore doing hard labor. My second dream is to buy each one of my 3 children their dream home and just hand them the keys to it with NO mortgages. Thats my motivation!
