Look up COTM - Consultant of the Month network MeetUp groups!

I joined one in Ladera Ranch - $10/month to belong - 12 consultants in a group - one party a month (take turns being the COTM) - everyone has to commit to at least a $20 order...

Hello Angela,

I agree with you. I am a realtor. I have sold tupperware, and have be thinking about Avon because I like the products. I am looking forward to this year.

Hello everyone. I love the inspiration! I would love to hear all about what everyone does.

A Little about me. I have been in the medical industry as the director of sales for a medical genetics company for many years making great money but I wanted to spend more time with my family (I have 3 kids) so I started looking at other opportunities. I found one that fits my skill sets well. I market science based nutrition products to physicians practices and implement wellness programs without them having to sell and drive revenue to their practice. We also just acquired the NASA space act agreement, which is a big selling point! Long story short take a look at my website and let me know what you think.

Thanks for the encouragement. I have been having a really hard time getting anyone to commit to booking dates. On top of the economy we were supposed to move this fall and our orders were canceled I was not smart about it and had stop booking parties, now it is taking forever to get going again. So, I really appreciate the encouragement..

Thanks Angela..I hope everyone is finding success in the new year. And honestly I believe that Direct Sales are excelling past the economic woes, and really taking hold! I hope would that everyone doesn't loose sight of why they are doing their job. I would invite anyone in SWFL to check out a special tasting this weekend on an incredible business opportunity. Write me back and I'll send you some information.

Wow, January is an AWESOME time in Mary Kay!!  Everyone needs a New Year, New You Makeover!  We are not experiencing a recession here.  Paul Harvey said that he couldn't believe that lipstick sales were up, and that he guessed that women don't want to be ugly and broke!  Plus we're gearing up for some great Valentine's Day sales.  Hope everyone else has GREAT successes this year!

Thank you for the inspiration - we all just need to keep stepping forward - finishing out our month strong and looking at each day as a NEW opportunity!!!

Angela is right set those goals and you will see results.

January has been great for me in my Mary Kay business I saw 30 new clients and sold over $2500 retail, plus am booked up every weekend until April 4.

Congrats Angela!  I am new with AVON and have been with them only since late Sept. I am hoping to make presidents club ($10,000 in sales) by the end of March.  But I agree so far for me I am right on track with my goals, but have no past years to compare it to. Just started offing home parties and have 2 booked for February :)

Angela - posted on 01/26/2009

Nope!!  I haven't felt the pinch either :)  As a matter a fact, I had 6 events last week and will close out 7 catalog parties this week.  I will promote to Director, and I'm earning the Scentsy incentive trip (January is the last month to qualify.  I think for others though, there can be a decline after the holidays and January can be slow.  I made a point to get things D.O.N.E. and start off the year GREAT!!  I'm glad you are having January success as well!!

Great information and I love the enthusiasm.  If we all stick together and support one anothers respective businesses, we surely can be successful!

Hi Angela,

Thanks for the words of encouragement.  January 1st I spent the day writing up this years goals and then broke it down by month and then by week and by day.  This helps me not get overwhelmed with the big picture and my daily goals are much more obtainable.

My upline told me that our industries have survived through many economic strains.  Direct Selling always holds, she said.  I can tell you that January has been my best month ever - I'm making Director this month!  But that being said, I want this last week of January to go out with a Big Bang!

Thanks for the pep talk!

Denise, I agree with you. People are spending money on what they want. The month is not over yet, but my combined downline are having their second best month yet so far. I am grateful for this business and the opportunity to work at my own pace while still being able to focus on my guys.

Vanessa, you are correct. "No" is an acceptable answer. As a matter of fact, I would prefer that over hearing people hem and haw and blame it on their husband that they cannot order/book a party/whatever. LOL. Keep up your attitude and keep spreading the word.

Angela, thank you for posting your message to offer encouragement to everyone. There is no reason that each of us cannot succeed, and each of our successes is based on what we each hope to accomplish.

Go, Us! 8^D

THANKS!

Hey Angela: Thanks for your encouragement but I must say I am not feeling the effects of the economy or the fact that it is january in my business. Infact December was my best month all last year and January is looking really good, so far. I am confindent that the products I sell are very important and people will buy them because they are a need instead of a want. I really appreciate your words though!

Blessings to you!

Denise:o)

Thanks for the pep talk.

My husband works with a bunch of men;

but he leaves my catalong for the few woman that are at the shop;

and tell the men; if  there wifes love a nice smell to there home,

That there are over 50 sents to choice from and it is oils.

So no candle mess. That seems to get them going.

I have tryed selling difforent things,with somewhat sussess.

with this product really hasnt tooken to much effort. It sells it self and I love that.

I have enven bussted out samples at the coffie shop with friends and sold alot.

I just remeber the worest I can hear is "NO",

And the best I can hear is "I'd like some of this and this and this and this...."

Best to all of you in the year 2009; in your job, and your family!!!
