New Announcement!

2011-06-06T14:26:00.000-04:00

Mommy Bags Marketing is starting up again for the last half of the 2011 Year. Our July Edition of Bags will go out the first week of July. So the deadline to be in these fantastic little niche marketing bags is June 21st!

This means I must have all your marketing pieces for the bags (250 pieces for 250 bags) , yes I raised the amount of bags due to larger demand for them from our Mommy and Womens Groups......

We already have quite a few participants, so please email me asap at jlynn72@gmail.com and see if your company is still available for a spot in the Bags! If you haven't participated in a while, the cost has gone up to $50 per month. (This covers my cost for bags, ribbon, my time for puttting them together, my time for delivery, and my gas costs for delivery since I go out of county for some deliveries now days.) With this you are getting a Free Ad Spot on my Mommy Bags Blog and my Lynn Marketing Blog, your choice of a text ad or a banner ad. It stays up for the month that you participate in only...this will be monitored more closely since I have an assistant now and she will be handling most of the blogging and ad work so I can focus on the bags more.

If you aren't interested but know someone who may be, send them our way! Its actually a great price for what you are getting: 1. Ad on Mommy Bags Marketing Blog 2. Ad on Lynn Marketing Concepts Blog 3. Exposure to 250 very responsive women looking for and asking for these advertising bags each and every month. Most of them are stay at home moms, some may be looking for a part-time career, others may be looking for a gift from time to time for friends and family. And we all know that women are the gift buyers of the family!

Hope to see you in the July Bags,

Julie

Sorry for the long Break, but back with great news!

2011-06-06T14:15:00.001-04:00

I am back and better than ever! And boy do I have some awesome suggestions for you all!
For starters, my brand new blog:
www.allaboutcouponing.blogspot.com
find all the information for saving money and using coupons effectively in one spot....instead of skipping around to all the different blog sites giving conflicting information

I will tell it like it is!
And NO , you will not be saving 90% off every grocery trip you make to the ol Kroger! That is a farce and is misleading....those people don't bother to tell you they are "purchasing" extra coupons in order to buy multiples of items to make their total bill inflated and then of course they have the coupons that they spent money on , to save them money....
Makes no sense to me! That's not saving money.
Go to my new website now and look at my post about my trip to walmart and that is real savings....

Some Great Advice For All Business Owners

2010-10-11T05:35:00.000-04:00

Warning - This is a long post but really worth reading....

We've all heard the best way to increase our network marketing, direct sales, or home party plan business is to talk to 5 new people each and every day. This is great advice, but mainly on the surface.

This advice doesn't allow or take into account how this makes us feel.

Remember, how we feel is our starting point for everything we do.

When we're actually trying to fit those 5 new contacts into a schedule which is already full with caring for our kids, tending to our partners, acting as chauffeur, pet care provider, house cleaner, chief cook and designated dish washer, volunteer superstar, and still managing a full-time job outside of the home . . .

Please!!. . . Help me find a shortcut!

Another thing, if we've stuck with the 5-contacts-a-day idea long enough, we're likely to catch ourselves shoving a business card into a fellow volunteer's hand and thinking . . . great, one down. And this is on a good day! On a bad day, our goal of five contacts per day becomes so overwhelming we either vow we'll start tomorrow. . . or we end up talking to no one.

Again, 5-contacts-a-day makes sense, but only on the surface. In practice, literally making five new relationships every single day can't normally be sustained by the average home party plan network marketer. When we try to implement and maintain this strategy, it becomes burdensome. We start to feel stressed and also feel like we don't have what it takes to be successful in direct sales and home party plan. It probably goes without saying feelings like these are counter productive to building a successful business.

So we'd like to suggest a shortcut, or a more sensible alternative to the common advice of . . . talking to five new people each day.

At The Mind Aware, we know lasting success comes only from methods which are easy to implement, easy to maintain, and leave us stress free and relaxed, confident, feeling good, and feeling like we're making progress with our home businesses.

. . . so instead of making 5 new relationships each day our objective, let's simplify our goal and make one meaningful connection each day.

Ideally this would be great if each new meaningful connection would be someone we meet throughout our day, but this connection can also come from a former home party host, a special customer, or a potential team member. It can be in person or on the phone. It's the age old debate . . . quality vs. quantity.

Quality, meaningful connections always pay off longer term. When our awareness or focal point is geared toward making quality connections, we'll see results much faster than if we'd stuck with old school thinking or the "throw enough stuff against the wall" method.

In the process of simplifying things, we're going to eliminate a whole lot of extra calling and, more importantly, save ourselves valuable time.

So what, then, constitutes a meaningful, quality connection? Obviously the answer here is very subjective and will vary from person-to-person, but here are some guidelines:

* We feel "present" when we're speaking. We don't feel rushed. We're taking time to really listen to the other person.

* Our primary goal in the discussion is to connect with the other person on some level. We're always aware that we're developing a relationship, rather than trying to sell someone something.

* That being said, we're still conscious that in order for it to become a truly meaningful connection for us . . . it must lead to real business. Talking to the person about their daughter's wedding may build the connection but making sure the conversation always leads to discussions about our home party businesses and ideally how our businesses could benefit their lives . . . makes the connection meaningful.

* Building our businesses means new business. Talking to a former party host may count because she may book another party or introduce us to new party hosts. But talking to current team members doesn't count because while it may be meaningful, it likely doesn't lead to new business.

Remember, we're only trying to have one meaningful conversations each day. How simple, right?

Also, when our main focal point is connection, other people will take notice of us. Most people notice when a person has genuine interest in them and they will be more apt to listen to us when we talk about how our business will impact their lives if we're sincerely interested in making a quality connection.

Making our follow up calls with customers, hostesses, and potential team members becomes easier because all we're looking for is one meaningful connection. We're not trying to call 50 people a night. We're not setting a time frame. We're just saying to ourselves that we're calling only to make this one meaningful connection with a person who will help to build our businesses.

Imagine how the face of our network marketing home party plan businesses would change if our primary goal was to have one, just one, meaningful conversation every single day?

Think about it . . . at the end of the year, if we've we have 365 of these meaningful conversations under our belt . . . we've built 365 relationships with 365 people who will become passionate about our businesses.

Believe me, if we can do just that one thing . . . one meaningful connection a day . . . our businesses will . . . BOOM!
Our goal of one meaningful conversation per day lessens our load and saves us a lot of time in the process. Saving time is crucial to getting our businesses financially thriving. And finding a shortcut to operating or running a network marketing home party plan business . . . makes us feel good.

And we all know feeling good is the quickest path to a successful business.

That just about wraps it up for the October Bags, only about 8 more left to go.......and I am sure that I can find them a nice home very easily!

Now for the November Bags, I am making 500 of these Holiday Edition Bags! And we already have homes for 378 of them and only need to find places for 122 more , which will not be hard at all. I am going to contact a few of the first groups that received the bags in July and see if they might want a few of our Holiday Bags and will update you all as soon as I hear back from them!!

I am heading off to the Scentsy Open House tonight! If you want to come out and support one of our very own Mommy Bags Participants, you can join me there! It is from 6pm-9pm at the beautiful house of Debbie Wimsatt, at 2285 Guilford Lane, which is in behind the Beaumont Shopping Center.

New Website I Wanted to Share!

2010-09-14T23:33:00.000-04:00

I came upon a new website and wanted to share it with everyone, I think I started to send out a few invitations and then thought I would just post it here instead:
Here is a brief overview.....

What Is Listia?

Listia is a new kind of auction site where you bid on other people's stuff using credits instead of real money. We make it easy for users to get rid of stuff they don't need anymore and find stuff they want for free. Listia is a marketplace where people enjoy giving and getting items for free.

Every user gets 100 free credits after signing up and listing an item. The more popular your listing is, the more credits your auction will go for. You bid credits for things you want. So each thing goes to the person who wants it most! Getting more credits is easy, fun and most importantly, costs nothing!

Listia

Let me know if you like it!
