Seasonal Sales Tips for This Week:
Give Thanks–be sure to write a note of thanks to your customers and team. If you have team facebook groups and customer facebook groups, be sure to express gratitude there, too! And don’t forget about those who helped you find success–include your family, corporate team, and upline leadership team too!
Black Friday Specials–share your holiday specials via newsletter, and social media on Friday. Think about adding in your own perks for that day…free gifts with purchase or enrollment?
Cyber Monday–What about hosting a Facebook Live event with your team? It’s not too late to create an events page this week and begin inviting! It’s all about virtual shopping Monday night, so it would be an appropriate time to do a virtual shopping event! Learn how here!
It’s not too late to host a live event at the end of this month to help you close out month end! What about an “appreciation event” since it’s the month of giving thank?
Plan ahead–how about a holiday shopping event in December? Or a little “mingle and jingle” event? And certainly consider hosting a holiday event for your team!
Hope this helps you finish November STRONG! Happy Thanksgiving! I’m thankful for YOU!

How To Rock Your Network Marketing Business This Holiday- Events & More!
Watch today’s live training, then read below for more ideas, scripts, and more:
Ready to ROCK your network marketing business? One of the keys to building a strong, sustainable business is developing a healthy sized, happy customer base. Why is this so important? Our business is built by the volume that is created by sales to an end customer—whether it be the distributors who are using the products monthly and getting great results, or happy customers who are loving their benefits! When you’ve got an army full of people on auto ship, experiencing incredible results with your product that translates into big business!
Here’s 5 Top Tips On How To Find Customers:
1) Host events in people’s homes. My company isn’t a party plan company, but when I started my business, I hosted some events in my home to share the products and the opportunity. I knew if I had limited hours, I would rather spend 1 hour of my time in front of 10 or more people, opposed to talking to one person on the phone for an hour! It was a great way to build my business fast! When I saw the success these events brought, I began calling my friends and family saying, “I have a business that’s growing in your area, and I would love to meet new people. Would you be willing to host an event for me? You invite your friends, I will do all the work, and I’ll even throw in free product (or my discount on the product) as a thank you”! This expanded my audience, increased my exposure, and helped me to secure more customers and leads for my business.
*HOT HOLIDAY TIP: Host holiday open houses! A little “Mingle & Jingle Event”?
2) Customer appreciation events are powerful. Once a quarter my local team and I did Friends, Family, and Customer appreciation events. In the evening we would do a “Cocktails and Conversations” type event. If it was during the day, we would call them “Coffee and Conversations”. Sometimes we would even host a luncheon. We would focus on sharing customer testimonials, highlight new products, do fun games, and drawings. And of course, we mentioned the opportunity and shared our business success stories! Our friends, family, and customers would come and bring their friends! These fun networking-type events would pack the room for us! We always had tremendous results!
*HOT HOLIDAY TIP: Thanksgiving is next week! Send out a newsletter (and post on social media) — a note of “Thanks” to your customers–highlight some of their before and afters, and testimonials! Share upcoming products, product specials, and more about your business, and how “Thankful” you are for it, and them!
Think about hosting an after-Thanksgiving “appreciation” or shopping event yourself! How about a Cyber Monday Virtual Event (leveraging FB live)!
3) Gift your products at every occasion. I am always looking for ways to get our products in people’s hands, whether it is the holidays, someone’s birthday, or as a thank you. I know if I can get them on the product, they’re hooked! Plus it’s an open door to a conversation about my business in the future when I follow up!
*HOT HOLIDAY TIP: In addition to updating your prospect list this month, I want you to make your holiday gift-giving list this week. This is the time to gift some product to everyone on your list (friends, family, loyal customers, prospects, people who provide you services) because once people try it they are hooked. And then they talk about it. What a better way to “advertise” your products! Get your products now, label each item with your website and contact info, wrap it pretty, and get it on its way!
4) Social media and sharing stories are a great way to share your products. Use your product or service at all times. Make sure your family is too! Develop a lot of customer testimonials and share them. If applicable to your product, post before and after’s and testimonials on social media sites.
*HOT HOLIDAY TIP: Create digital campaigns or social media posts that highlight how people can look their best, and have a debt free holiday with you. Share your story about the business & products, other success stories, and how they can put some “jingle in their pockets” with your opportunity ! Be creative during these fun times: BLACK FRIDAY/ CYBER MONDAY– create your own specials/posts, THANKSGIVING — “thankful” note about what the products and/or opportunity is doing for you, DECEMBER–“give the gift of great products & glowing opportunity!”
Be sure to include a blurb about your business on your family cards or holiday newsletters too! Tis the season!
5) If your company offers samples, try using a sample pack approach. Look for ways to engage in conversation. Give someone a compliment. Ask a lot of questions. (“Great service. Do you love your job?” or ”Cute kids. Where do they go to school?”) Then leave them with a sample and say, “I’ve loved chatting with you today. I would love to leave you with this gift (tell them more about the sample, and what it does.) I promise you’ll love it. If you promise you’ll try it, I promise I’ll follow up!” Get their name, number, and tell them what time you’ll call, and write it on the card you leave with them. When you follow up: “How’d you love the product? Before I tell you more about it, I would love to tell you why I’m excited about my business!” One of our top leaders Cindy was prospected this way and is now leading a rockin’ team. When she taught our team this approach, it created a huge wave of momentum for us!
HOT HOLIDAY TIP: The following idea was shared by my business partner Natalia last year: “The Holiday Season brings two of my favorite things – shopping and sharing my business with others. I start at Black Friday and continue all season shopping, armed with samples and business cards. I tie them together with holiday ribbon and a cute mini candy cane! I hand them out while shopping, to the people working retail that give great service!” Think about all of those seasonal sales clerks!
Customers are a gift that keeps on giving!

Would you like to put some extra “jingle” in your pocket as you finish out the year strong? Building your network marketing business during this time of year can be fun, festive, and extremely profitable!
It’s the perfect time of year to give the GIFT:
-Of your product or service
-Or your life-changing opportunity
Watch today’s video then read below for more seasonal sales tips from me:
1) Give people the gift of your products or service:
Gift your products at every occasion. I am always looking for ways to get our products in people’s hands, whether it is the holidays, someone’s birthday, or as a thank you. I know if I can get them on the product, they’re hooked! Plus it’s an open door to a conversation about my business in the future when I follow up!
There is no better way to market your products and business than to get your goods in the hands of as many people possible. So, in addition to updating your prospect list this month, I want you to make your holiday gift-giving list, and then pick a product for each person on the list. You know that once people use your products, they’re hooked. And then they talk about it. They re-order, refer people on, and some may even join your team in the New Year! In fact, call them up after the holiday and say: “how are you loving your product? I’m not sure if I mentioned this but as a distributor of the product I get them at a great discount. I’d love to share with you more about the distributor program, as it may be a great way for you to get the best discount on the products, or earn them for free as you share your results with others…what do you think?”
Who do you give the gifts to???-Friends, family, co-workers, your loyal customers and referral sources, people who provide you services (mail person, realtor, hair/nail person, housekeeper, sitter, teacher, coaches, etc).
Now’s the time to make your list and check it twice!!!
Make a list of all the people you need to give a gift to, and remember–it’s marketing, and smart business! It doesn’t have to be expensive.
*HOT HOLIDAY TIP: Make your gift-giving list. Check it twice. Order your products now, label each item with your website and contact info, wrap it pretty, and get it on its way!
If you sell a service think about a gift that would go well with it, and send it on it’s way with a letter introducing a special offer to them for your services! For example…sell a phone service? How about sending a cute little phone case, with more info on your services inside!
2) In addition to giving the gift of your product, be sure to give the gift of financial opportunity to everyone you meet!
The Holidays are a Prospecting Paradise! So many people are looking for extra cash this holiday, and you could be holding their holiday miracle in your hands. So don’t be afraid to spread good cheer!
Prospecting At Holiday Events
The holidays are a fabulous time to network and capture leads. You reconnect with people you know, and it’s also a great time to meet new people as well. Holiday events provide countless opportunities to tell your story, your company story, capture contacts, set a date to follow up and get people started in the business or on the products.
Attend every event you’re invited to. Keep conversations casual and simple. I once heard people say that networking is like interviewing: just ask people a lot of questions like “where are you from?” “Do you have kids? How old are they?” “What do you do?” This way you build rapport and get people talking about what they love and are most familiar with! The conversation will always bounce back to you! And of course, be good about bouncing back to them—like the game of ping pong.
When someone asks you what you do, a good response would be:
“I am a teacher by trade, but my passion is my new business.”
Then tell your personal story sharing about how you started your business, what interested you most about the opportunity, and what it’s doing for you (or what you plan on it providing for you). Share other leaders success stories they may relate to. Keep it short and sweet. Then, set a date to share more.
You could say something like:
“We’re here to enjoy the party tonight. I would love to tell you more at a later time! Let me quickly get your contact information-What’s your number & email?”
Capture or confirm contact information then say:
“As we expand here in <city> I’m always looking for people to join us. I’ll give you a call this week and tell you a little more. You may or may not have a personal interest, but maybe you could lead me to just the right person. I’d love to pick your brain and get ideas on how to expand my business here. I’m looking for referrals as we expand in <city>. ”
Learn to comfortably combine socializing with friends and family, meeting new people, enjoying the party, and capturing leads! Don’t miss these opportunities to share your passion for your business and products.
Prospecting When Out and About
The holidays are the perfect time to POWER PROSPECT as everyone is out and about. When you interact with a sales clerk, bank teller, waiter or waitress, thank them for their service and say: “Thanks for your awesome service today. We are looking for people like you for our business. I know you’re at work, but I would love to reconnect later tonight and tell you who we are looking for. What is a good time and number to reach you when you get home?” Then, follow up!
When you meet people out and about doing their holiday errands, strike up conversation. Before you leave say: “It was so great meeting you today. Earlier you mentioned you were from <city> and I have a business that is expanding there. I would love to stay in touch, talk at a later time, and get some ideas from you, and see if you know anyone who would be interested in partnering with us. What is a good time and number to reach you this week?” Then, follow up!
The Fortune is in the Follow Up
Don’t forget that the fortune really is in the follow up. So after you have these great conversations, be sure you send a quick email or Facebook message saying:“It was nice to see you, and I look forward to speaking to you again this week.” Then, call them!
Set Some Networking Goals For Yourself in November and December:
• How many leads would you like from each party, or each time you are out and about?
• How many business cards will you hand out that day? Put that number of cards in your wallet to keep yourself accountable.
*HOT HOLIDAY TIP: Make your gift-giving list. Check it twice. Order your products now, label each item with your website and contact info, wrap it pretty, and get it on its way!
If you sell a service think about a gift that would go well with it, and send it on it’s way with a letter introducing a special offer to them for your services! For example…sell a phone service? How about sending a cute little phone case, with more info on your services inside!
Remember- now is the perfect time of year to share, as people are already thinking of their New Years Resolutions to:
• Better themselves
• Start a business
• Earn more money & erase holiday debt
•The Network Marketing Profession can provide the SOLUTIONS to these New Years RESOLUTIONS!
Lace up your “elf shoes” and get ready to RUN!
Work hard, and put some extra “jingle” in your pockets this holiday!
How you finish the year sets you up for sweet success in the New Year!

How to make the MOST out of company conventions and events…
Watch today’s video, then see below for more bonus tips…
[jwplayer mediaid=”3540″]
TIPS:
Pre-event:
Plug in: If your company has a live event option or virtual option to attend, GO! It’s the best investment you will make in your future, as it is THE company-wide training event of the year! I call it “School” for network marketing! This is where you get stellar training, build great relationships, and also experience all of the new exciting launches as they happen!
Promote it: After you’re signed up promote the event to your team! It’s not enough to just give dates and times…share testimonials of other leaders whose lives and businesses were changed by the company event. It’s not just about sharing “features”, it’s about sharing “benefits” too!
Plan post-convention events: Fill your calendar FULL of meetings and events in the weeks and months after convention to share all of the exciting new things that your company will have just launched! (It’s the perfect time to relaunch your business–EVERYONE should have an event or two or a few scheduled post-convention!!!) Start inviting now! Are you a leader??? Have your big team post convention biz opp/ team training planned to capture the post convention excitement for your teams.Don’t miss your chance to leverage the excitement, announcements, and momentum that comes after a big convention!
Position yourself for post-convention momentum:Build big NOW (don’t wait until after!) The more consultants who join you who leverage the training and launches at convention, the greater your post-convention “POP” (momentum). The more preferred customers who join you now whom you can have experience new product launches, the better! Let everyone know you are their “go to gal” or “go to guy” for the product when it is announced! (Create intrigue now!)
PREP (*bonus tip): Find out the company dress code prior to the event and plan accordingly. Typically in conventions there is a LOT of walking, so I always pack a comfy pair of flats or flip flops to get me to my destination (yes, convention goers will always find me carrying my heels around!)Bring a camera or smart phone to document the event as it’s happening on your social media sites (it’s a great way to allow your Facebook friends to see how much FUN and excitement is happening in the company!)Protein bars/healthy snacks and water are a must! Be sure to bring notepads and pens! Make sure to take advantage of the FABULOUS product discounts you’ll often get for attending (*which can be for your use/for demo at your events post-convention/displays/giveaways/ gifts with enrollment or purchase, etc).Be sure to attend every event! There will be special things announced, launched, and taught at every scheduled session. You are here, you’ve invested in your future, so do not miss one! If you’re not going to be there live, be sure you are watching the live stream with your team!SUGGESTED (bonus tip): host a virtual viewing weekend together with your team, if you’re plugging in via virtual.
During the Event:
Prospect: Remember the “5 a day” rule!
When in (state) focus on building a business there! Talk to 5 people a day- in the hotel, convention center, on your way to events, at restaurants, etc! Airplane ex: “What are you traveling to Las Vegas for?” Naturally they will ask you! Hotel ex: “How have all of our beautiful gals been treating you? Seems we’ve taken over the hotel! Did anyone tell you why we are here!” Also, meet 5 new consultants a day! Relationships within the company become valuable as you build your business in different states. Share best practices, ideas, excitement, and friendship! Find power partners and new friends! *Bring samples and business cards to share while prospecting!
Post online: What attracts many people to our business are the fun and friendships formed! So don’t forget to post a lot of pictures and video on social media, showcasing the experiences during convention, as well as the excitement!
Plan traditions with your team:”Inclusion” is key! Should your team wear special T-shirts? Bring colored pom-poms? Wear fun buttons? I ask my team to wear an orange ribbon (any orange ribbon) tied or pinned to their name tag…so I can find them, and they can find one another. This allows me to handshake, hug, or high five them and THANK THEM when I see them (our team is over 200,000 strong!) Other ideas: leadership dinners (I am hosting an unforgettable night for my direct leaders) and team toasts (I am hosting one in my suite to kick off convention, for my entire personal team). If in the morning, how about a “Muffins and Mimosas” in your room, or a “Coffee and Conversations?” Many do this in a hotel room, at a meeting place in the hotel, etc. These events don’t have to be expensive, but the results are priceless as it allows you to recognize your rock stars, and for the team to connect with one another, outside of the BIG event!
Post-event:
Prep for your events: Fill your calendar FULL of shows or parties, meetings and events! You will want to have plenty of opportunities to announce everything that’s coming, to your customers, prospects, friends and family!
Prospecting follow-up: “If ever there’s a time to join us, the time is now! Here’s why…” This should be a message you are sending to every potential customer or potential consultant post-event…even if you’ve talked to them before, and the timing wasn’t right! Revisit everyone on your list; tell them why NOW is the perfect time to join!
Promote what’s new and exciting: Share the products with all of your PCs, friends, and family! Share the new promotions with your prospects!Get out an email to everyone in your database sharing the new products, promotions, and programs! Leverage social media too! And be sure to share any exciting new offerings on your customer Facebook groups too!
Whatever you’re dreaming, dream BIGGER! These events have the potential to ROCK your network marketing business! Be sure you’re there…those who SHOW UP, GO UP! Leaders (and aspiring leaders) NEVER miss a company convention or event!
What other tips have I missed? Share them below (without mention of company name please)!
Have an event coming up? Don’t forget to “SHARE” this with the rock stars on your team!

[jwplayer mediaid=”3516″]
TIPS on Facebook events…
ABOUT THE EVENT:
These FUN events will be online on a FB events page (convenient for those you invite) and a perfect opportunity for people to hear more about your company from the comfort of their home. Talk briefly about the products, the business, share incredible success stories, and do giveaways too! Share like you would at a home event, but this time via live video on Facebook, leveraging FB live, in your events (on your iPhone or iPad).
Teach your team who to invite, how to invite, the importance of follow up, and to be on the event to welcome guests and monitor their questions and comments.We encourage interaction during the event and ask our team to post comments and testimonials throughout. HOW TO INVITE….
PERSONALLY invite people using Instant Message or send by text message, with the event details. DO NOT (I repeat) do not mass add people–it’s spamming and feels yucky! If you add them to the event, be sure it comes with a personal message/invitation. When you personally message them to invite them for best results, they will truly feel invited, and not “spammed”.
Here is some suggested invitation language for a Virtual Facebook Event, along with images of your event/prizes, etc.
Private message to personally invite and get the best response…. VIRTUAL FACEBOOK EVENT! You are invited! Put your jammies on, login and get ready for a fast-paced, fun, online Facebook event that takes place right in front of your computer, to help you see what the buzz about (Your co name) is all about! It’s going to be fun, informative, and interactive. We will be giving away designer prizes too! I have a few limited spots available and I’m hoping you’d like to drop in, no purchase necessary! Please private message me if you’re interested and I’ll send you the event link via Facebook.
Message me for more info and your personal invitation
=>IF THEY SAY YES OR INQUIRE….send a quick thank you and say something like: “Awesome! I’ll add you to the “name of event page.” You’ll find it under your events tab on Facebook. All you have to do is accept by clicking “going” in order to participate… I’ll IM you to remind you on the day of the event.”
POST IDEA: Learn more about our award-winning products and opportunity from the comfort of your home! Have a chance to win designer goodies from Kendra Scott, Kate Spade, and Tory Burch, no purchase necessary! MONDAY AUGUST 29 at 9 PM EASTERN TIME (6 PT, 7 MT, 8 CT) A FEW MORE TIPS TO HAVE A SEAMLESS EVENT:
*Once you are added to the page and you accept the invitation by clicking “going”, you can then add your guests by clicking “invite” and adding them (they will have to “accept” the invite by clicking “going” to be officially added, and to view the presentation when it goes LIVE!) That’s why a personal invite is necessary so they know they’ve been invited and what to do….verses you just mass adding people (which just doesn’t work!!!)
*When you’re ready to start the event, click “go live” from your phone or iPad, inside of the event! Present as you would in-person, but behind your screen! I suggest setting up a “test page” or “dummy page” beforehand to practice before your actual event on the event page!
*Encourage your team to come with a guest and make it worth the time, and use this event to build their business! This can be a customer, a perspective customer or perspective consultant.
*REMINDER: INSTANT MESSAGE On the morning of the event.
* Have them “refresh” their screen when the event begins so they see the “live” video. Be available by text if they have troubles. But bottom line, if they don’t “See” you at the start time, tell them be sure they accepted the invite, and they refreshed their page! ☺
*The goal is: you show your team how to host these, and then duplicate these events regularly! FB live is like a virtual business launch event…I just do a business launch behind my iphone or ipad, go to the event, and I go “live” using FB live to present for you! ☺ I’m like Vannah White, holding up the products behind my screen! You and your guests can watch from any computer, tablet, or smart phone!
*Idea for your your team to tune in… Hold a virtual viewing party at your house or a local place! Invite your friends to watch from your home with you! Serve refreshments! And have fun sampling the products live for them as we go through them, and stream in on your computer!
*I encourage you to answer questions when you see them posted and to be encouraging (IF you know the answer), share your results or customer results with each product showcased. Be positive. Save your questions for training times, as this is an opportunity for guests to learn more and ask questions, not a training!
Hope this helps YOU rock your network marketing business via Facebook events!
Post below with your comments or questions (no company names please) I will try to get to them all asap!
LIKE IT? Don’t forget to “SHARE IT” with your team on your team pages, etc! XO
