Denise Hill Finishes the Summer STRONG with $4,402 in Sales!
Pandemic? No sweat. Zoom fatigue? No biggie. Denise Hill was still able to close out the final month of the summer with a flurry. She posted an impressive $4,402 in sales by doing seven parties. That's an average of $628 per party, which is pretty darn good.
Denise's August total pushed her to over $30,000 in sales for the year. But before you just gloss over those numbers, consider that she amassed them in the midst of a pandemic, while sitting in her own home! And, also consider that with caring for two aging parents that are hours away, she's had as many obstacles as anyone else in the business, and likely more.
So what's the secret?
Denise has been able to flourish because she's been adapting to a changing world, and learning how to use social media to build her business... specifically Facebook. Facebook has allowed her to interact with her host's friends in a way that just wasn't possible in years past. It's also allowing her to scoop up many of the host's friends and add them to her VIP group. So her customer group is growing by leaps and bounds.
Then, you add in Zoom, and that allows her to do presentations over the entire country while sitting at her kitchen table. It's a nice one-two punch to say the least.
Ever generous and magnanimous, Denise started sharing her tactics and techniques at the last monthly meeting. If you missed that meeting, you definitely want to watch the recording. And if you were there, you may want to review it because repetition is the mother of learning.
Here's the thing... if you're willing to go through the frustration of learning something new, and then IMPLEMENT it... you can make your business sing for joy just like Denise has. But to do that, you have to have a growth mindset. That simply means... you may not know how to do something, but your attitude is, "I can learn how to do it."
Or, as Confucius, the Chinese philosopher, said thousands of years ago... "If man ask question, he fool for a minute. But if man no ask question, he fool for a lifetime.'' So what kind of fool will you be?
Even if you don't have one now, there was a time when you had a growth mindset. When? When you were a baby! Everything you can do now, and I mean everything... you learned how to do.
So, if you want to spread your wings and soar... you can.
Make up your mind to learn new things and you're just one skillset away from crazy money.
Let's all congratulate Denise for another super month and for being generous enough to share her recipe for success with others.
Donna Houston Shines Like the Sun in August with $3,138 in Sales!
Donna Houston, of New Jersey, was also able to finish her summer on a high note. She weighed in with $3,138 in sales for the month. Believe it or not, it only took her two parties and a few individual orders to produce that sales total. That's mind boggling, isn't it?
Waaaaaay back in the day (in EE 1.0) we would start jumping up and down if someone had a Champagne Show. But those Champagne shows were hard labor on a chain gang compared to the ones Donna did. We had to prep and pack our kits into our cars, which took 45 minutes. Then we had to drive to a host's home, which took another 45 minutes. Then we had to haul all of
our gear and samples into their house. Then we were there presenting, working with customers, writing up orders and collecting money for 5 or 6 hours. Then... we had to drive 45 minutes back home. Then we had to get out of our sweaty clothes because we'd been hustling and perspiring for 6 hours. Then... when the pictures were ready, we had to deliver them! But we'd still be giddy with excitement because we'd done over a $1,000 in sales at a single show.
Well... Donna did that twice, in a little over an hour... while sitting at her kitchen table. Is that crazy or what?
We tell you all of that to help you see what you have in your hands. With Zoom, Facebook Events, VIP groups, the internet and powerful smartphones that allow you to text teasers and a bunch of other things, you have the ability to do things we couldn't have dreamed of years ago. We did 3-K months, true. Heck, we had folks doing 10-K months. But we also had to work our hineys off to do it. Someone, and it maybe you, will do a
10-K month in EE 2.0 without ever leaving their house. And that, when it happens, will be bananas!!!
Donna is taking full advantage of the EE 2.0 business model and has succeeded in fitting her business into what was already a hectic schedule. The new way of doing things is what is enabling her to do that.
Let's all congratulate Donna for just doing the dang thang, and doing it in a most impressive fashion!

Monthly Host Specials for November
To help you book during one of the biggest shopping months of the year, the November specials are very strong. They require at least $400 in party sales and at least one booking that holds. We added the one booking requirement to give you a bigger return on the co-pay
investment you have to make. The November specials are as follows:
Option 1: Digerui Handbag in any of the three colors.
Option 2: Black Girl Magic Casual Sweatshirt and Pants Set in either color.
Option 3: Two prints... Kinks and A Gift From God.
Premium Host Specials for Q4. They are Doozies!!!
Fill your calendar for the holidays with these extraordinary offers. They are completely free to hostesses who have at least $500 in sales and one booking.
The Premium Specials are not in addition to the monthly specials. If your host has $500 in sales and one booking, they can select a Premium Special instead of the regular monthly special.
There is also a consolation offer for hosts that fall short of $500, but hit $400 with one booking that holds. They can select a Premium Special, but they have to make a co-payment. Click on the text links below to see the co-payments for each special.

Monthly Host Specials are FREE to the host, but there are consultant co-pays associated with them to offset the costs of offering powerful incentives.
