New jobs

While I was researching the adult direct sales companies, my friend posted her sign on deal with her company. I knew it was a great deal and knew I'd have an awesome upline, so I am now a Passion Parties Diva! I have my kit and an extra order in my truck, waiting for when I can sort it out. I just did another order with goodies for people who have parties for me to get me started. If you want to be that person, just message me here!
I also got on the waiting list for Origami Owl. Turns out the list wasn't long and I get to sign up starting today!! So excited! While I was going to do the smaller kit, I think I'll splurge and do the larger one. I'll call about Market Days here, and setting up with direct sales. I shouldn't need the business license then. See how many people I can get to book parties, and hand out catalogs to while I'm there.
My link is http://shelsotoys.yourpassionconsultant.com for Passion Parties. No link for O2 yet. Either tonight or tomorrow I should have that link.
Time to start doing my reading!

Passion Parties

Sorry I haven't been here in a bit, life got super crazy and I'm just starting to get back to normal.
I've been thinking about signing on to do a romance company for some time now. I was starting to do the research on each party plan and trying to figure out which one would be a good fit for me. Then my friend posted a sign on special for Passion Parties. She's an awesome leader for her girls, and I knew I'd have a great support, so I signed up! Then I was thinking about making fast track. I'd love to get the bonus for making my goals. So, I went to my back office site and put in an order for some goodies - marked down items not available in the catalogs. I'm offering a goody to each person who has a party, over and beyond what they earn for having the party. They'll have a choice, depending on the size of their party. I do know I'll have online parties due to the hubs' schedule picking up in a bit, and not having a sitter.
I also signed up to be on the waiting list for Origami Owl. I was looking at another locket party plan, but they were too new, and it made me question their organization when they don't have catalogs ready. If I can't show people what I sell, how can I get orders? If all goes well, in 2 weeks I'll be a designer with O2.

February All Ready??

Geez people! I'm falling behind and it's only February! Lots on my agenda now that I only have 3 direct sales companies. I figure I'll add another one soon - gathering info as we speak - but I'm going to be working on introductory letters to mail out. If I'm lucky, they can be mailed this week! If I need stamps, it'll be next week. There's a few places I'd love to introduce Uppercase Living, like the condos, private hotels, property management companies, and others. With this being an area that draws people all year, there's a lot of opportunities for rentals. That could mean people want decorations that can't be stolen. Uppercase Living also gives a place some "pizazz" with looking like it was hand painted.
There's a local camp here for medically fragile children. They just underwent some renovations, and I'd love to introduce Noah's Ark to them. It could be a great craft for the kids, or they could use it as a fundraiser. There's a few schools and day cares in the area, but I'm willing to travel somewhat for a party. Fundraisers would give me some attention as I don't know if there's anyone else in the area that's a party leader.
Now, or it works!, I plan to concentrate on spas, salons, gyms, and boutiques. If no one has a letter template for introductions, I guess I'll have to work on one myself. Make sure they know we have a diverse line that includes the greens and shakes so many people are swearing by these days. (and I would too, if I had an actual kitchen!) We also have creams, wraps, and dietary supplements. I have a few other places in mind to target, but I'm not quite ready to give up my ideas yet. *grin*
I'm looking to get information on a local craft consignment store, but it's not exactly local to me right now. From what I've researched, there's only one in this area, and it's a good 45 minute to an hour drive from me right now. One of my long term goals is to open my own place, but that's not likely going to happen for awhile yet.
Really wishing we had room that I could craft here. We bought a sewing machine last weekend at a yard sale, and I talked the hubs into giving us sewing lessons. I'm anxious to start making dresses for the girls - we have the best weather for summer dresses! I'm also hoping to make some dresses and skirts for myself - and I'm not a dress/skirt person! If I can learn machine sewing, I'm hoping to make a few things to sell. Add it to the headbands I make and other goodies I'm looking to do. Before we moved I bought some supplies, and I'm getting antsy to sort boxes and get my hands on those goodies!
Does anyone here craft? Sew? When did you learn? Do you sell your crafts?
