7 Rivers of Leads- reaching out to your contacts

7 Rivers of Leads
At our SED's Director Retreat last month, a very young and very vibrant MK rep came and talked to us. She had some really new and fresh ideas. One of those is something I'm implementing in my own business. Like many of you, I am used to putting all my eggs in one basket -- Turkey Trot or that one BIG vendor event -- and hoping that one basket will be worth at least $1000 every month. That's a lot of pressure on ONE event. She challenged us to always have 7 Rivers of Leads working at any given time in our business.
...
At any given time in your business, you should have 7 rivers of leads coming in. They are all from different areas and on a different timeline so that you're never relying on just ONE thing. We KNOW there will always be a failed fundraiser, party, vendor event, or Turkey Trot at some point in our business, but that's not that big of a deal when you have 6 other rivers of leads flowing in. Blow that one failed event off and keep working on the other 6 and replace that 7th with a new one.

Some examples of the 7 Rivers:
1. Current home parties
2. Previous hostesses rebooking
3. Customer care calls
4. Vendor event
5. Fundraiser
6. Facebook customer group
7. Referral program

You can fill those 7 rivers in however you want to: Turkey Trot, Snowman Shuffle, FB Party, 3 new contacts a day, last chance/first glance party, etc.

This was such a NEW concept to me and an Ah-ha moment in my 4 year business. I encourage you to always have 7 rivers of leads and I'd love to hear what some of yours are! Ready, set, go!

Ronnette

I love this girl. We first met at a Beef O'Brady's on the way to Wakulla.  She had heard about me through a friend.  She signed up on the spot and just enjoyed being a part of the team. Then after one national conference, she came back a rock star. She's a great friend. She loved her family and she had a "fun" about her that no one will forget. We love you Ronnette. Thank you for being a part of this family. You will not be forgotten.

Calling all leaders and dreamers!

So even if you don't see yourself as a leader, then take just one step and add a new team member this selling season.  We as leaders DREAM for you!  We want to have you by our side as your grow your business and DREAM BIG!

Get to know your back office

I hope this helps you just get to know your back office a little. Best thing you can do is just play around with it. It's important not to be intimidated by this.  Very user friendly. Even set up your own party on the Events link, send it to yourself only and just get the feel of it. I find that it works best in google chrome, if you don't have this, I highly suggest getting it on your computer.

Conference 2013 Hot-Lanta

National Conference is a HUGE part of your business.  It's so important to get the opportunity, even just once, to attend a National Conference. As you run your business this year, I hope you will plan on joining us next year!  Check out these 2 video highlights of our amazing time with Team 4:13 at National Conference in Atlanta!

Honoring the Founding Consultants

In 2006 I had no idea the significance of joining such a small new company.  Being a part of the first 500 ladies to join this company has been a blessing I could never have imagined. Little did I know when that strange catalog showed up on my door that nearly 7 years later I would still be here.  Without the support of my husband and an AMAZING best friend named Gina to kick my booty into gear, leadership would never have come into this even bigger picture. With all of these things coming together, and with the Grace of God, Thirty-One has become so much more than a hobby, so much more than a bag...it's just part of me now!

 The last of 23 founding consultants and very good friends.  Seen above and me and my best friend Gina, below.  I am surrounded by amazing Godly ladies and thank him for his GOODNESS to me!

My Party!

This was so much fun to do a live taping. The ladies were great and had fun participating!  Nothing was fabricated. This just shows you why I love my job. These ladies are strangers at the beginning of the night and hugging my neck when I leave. This is so much more than selling a purse!

 

Stop and let the ladies go and choose one item each. Then go around the room and let them share why they love their choice sample and give them each a ticket for participating!

 

 

We ended up drawing a name from the guest cards for someone to pick the thermal tote because the Hostess ended up with it. But during your night, you can let the last person holding it, KEEP the gift!
