Going the extra mile

Well this morning I started my day in 4 miles down the street; at the BNI group. My guest was there~ the only guest! Sad. The good news is that I gave out 5 skin care survey cards. This is the current way I am getting "new faces" to add to my 100 faces. I must admit THIS IS FUN!!! I love playing with makeup! These ladies I am working with love to play with makeup! How much fun is this!?

So today I had an email message from a MK "Orphan" she needed to replace some products, as it turns out they are very old and discontinued so I told her I would be happy to come give her a facial and let her try all the new products to chose what she wanted. Kicker: she lives an hour away. Well I like driving in my cute pink car, that makes the time fly! So this Friday I am going to meet her and pamper her by giving her an update facial and letting her try all the new spring colors! She deserves it!

So I have a question. "Should I name the car?" Lots of people do that. What do you think?

Where to find faces

Well, last week was a bit slow and I was really counting on Saturday. I went to my first Mom 2 Mom sale at the church of a friend of mine. She is a great lady I met through the chamber, she loves Mary Kay products and purchases them from a lady @ her church. So for the mere fee of $20 and a few hours of my time I was at the M2M sale...
My dear husband who usually gets to spend Saturday morning with me @ the Royal Oak Farmers market came along to help. We set the table with a display, the LOOK BOOK, and drawing slips that asked 4 simple questions: have you tried MK, do you use a skin care program; would you be willing to have a MK makeover; and would you like to do this alone or with a group of 3-4 friends. then of course their contact info. Well, that worked well, I booked 2 shows, and made 4 new clients right there. The young mom at the table in front of me was the daughter of the Mary Kay lady who attended that church. (my friend Jo's consultant) and 3 of the other women I signed up for facials or shows were vendors there and one was a Women's Enrichment Day in April, and training our new consultants. Balance is a very important part of every week~ a worthy goal for all of us~ myself included!

Jennifer, one of my new team members is having fun with the virtual makeovers and her personal website, and having a virtual party online. I love sharing with women who are excited about the different ways we can work our business.

A month gone by

I am so very excited to begin March with 34 days behind me and report the amazing results. 45 Faces seen. $2000 sold to 29 people; two new team members. 15 of the faces were at the Ladies night out @ Great Indoors; they got satin hands pampering and we signed up some of the women for makeovers and parties at a later date. This week I have already seen one person, one tomorrow, and just booked into a Mom to Mom show this Saturday. Now the dilemma- how do you count a show like that? Well, I am going to book them for facials later this month!

This project began to show the women on my team and in my unit that it can be done. I am almost half way to the goal and have done nothing exceptional except share with everyone my goal; and do a little bit of work. Someone once said if you love what you do you will never work a day in your life! I totally agree!

Thanks for stopping by I hope this inspires Mary Kay Consultants everywhere to take the 100 Day challenge. BTW, I won't quit @ 100 Faces I will finish @ 100 days! Stay tuned I can't wait to see how March unfolds!

100 Faces Challenge

Many people have been asking me the details of the 100 Faces in 100 Days challenge and what I am doing in preparation for this "big event". Well, I am prioritizing my priorities (I know you think that sounds funny but have you?) What that really means is get an idea for what is REALLY important in your life and let your time spent reflect that. I have chosen what activities will help me to start and complete this challenge. AND.... if it does not give me satisfaction, if I do not love doing it or if someone else can do it as well (if not better) it is not on my list!
So here it is: I have a white board calendar up on my office wall with names and dates for 90 days, I am booking into February because any further is not going to happen (cancellations abound after 2 weeks out). AND I don't have time for cancellations! and I am ramping up bridal work and networking and asking for referrals. So far, I have 3 more brides who are willing to bring their entire group to try my services for free and 2 more wives of guys I know bringing their friends and several of my existing clients bringing friends to their seasonal makeovers. It is beginning to really take shape and I hope that if you are a MARY KAY INDEPENDENT BEAUTY CONSULTANT that this inspires you to go for it! And if you have never had the opportunity to experience our fabulous products and a personal skin care regime I hope you will join in as part of my experiment. It is totally risk free and FUN! and I don't know about you but I am a fan of having fun!

I love Brides!

One of the best parts of my "job" is working with brides! What an exciting part of their lives to be included in!

Think about it~ one of the happiest days of your life thus far...
Party where you are the princess.....
Special dress, shoes, someone else usually does your hair
and someone else does your makeup ~ me :>)

The reasons my brides chose to have my service over going to a salon are: I go to where they are getting married; they get to "try before they buy" (we actually do a dress rehearsal on the colors and the look) @ no cost (salons may charge up to $100) Many of the brides I work with are more into looking "natural" and don't want to look different on their wedding than they do every day..... well that is another blog! :>) However, they will know after our first appointment that they can trust me to make them feel beautiful, not over done and uncomfortable.

the best part is that if you are a client of mine I do it all for free! You know you are going to look PICTURE PERFECT or you can even use my website for a virtual makeover before we get together if you are in the mood to play with color before your appointment.

If your skin is not perfect~ I can help- after all you want to have flawless skin to work with so that you don't need to "hide" anything. We have special products to correct any skin issues you or anyone in your wedding party may have! Tomorrow I will discuss the wedding party!
