Positve. Patient. Persistent. Perfectly. Posh.

Perfect! Staying Positive is the biggest tip with Direct Sales I can give, keep on smiling, being kind, enjoying the moment you are in and looking for the bright side of every situation. 

When I was pushing so hard for another DS company last year and it was just failing day after day it could have completely destroyed me but I forced myself to stay positive. It was so hard to face the rejection, the No's and lack of sales for the time I was putting in. But if I would not have faced all of those trials then I would not be pushing thru with Posh. I've found with Posh it's more about the kindness in your everyday interactions, the smile you keep on your face even if you are uncertain how your month will go and finding that bright light in every situation even if it didn't turn out the way you had planned. 

Enjoy the moment you are in, look around and SEE the blessings that surround you, and continue on to achieving your dreams!

Gratitude!

Always be Thankful and remember to send out thank you notes or emails to those who are supporting your posh business. Making real and genuine connections with people is going to be what separates your customer service with those around you from other company's. 

We are getting to personally pamper other ladies, gentlemen and kiddos so make the moments you get with them special with a kind smile,listening ear or something personally written to them......be a blessing! 

When people say "oh I can just get some lotion in a store" you need to reply "getting POSHed is more than just a purchase of a product, it is it's own experience". Because it should be and is completely up to you as to how you will treat your customers and hostess, you are in charge of what their experience with Posh will be......soooooo make it POSHtastic, pamper them, be a blessing! 

Keep in mind that your Posh Business is YOUR Posh Business no matter how big or small your goals are, it is up to YOU and YOU alone to figure out how you want your business to be!

Be Your-POSH-Self

BE YOURSELF! 

Ann talked to us about the power of presentation and it starts with yourself. Your attitude, what you wear, how you talk to everyone and how you've decided to brand yourself with Posh. As most of you know I went with using the Mustache for my mailed out samples, my advertising and other ways.....I now have customers relating the mustache with me and Posh  Mustache YOU to try Posh! Haha I'm not saying you need to go out and find a "mascot" but stick with your branding and who YOU are! I've done the Mustache from the very beginning with no real plan but now has grown into something that is working for me! 

As you look around in the Posh groups you will see that everyone has their own style with Posh and that is exactly how Ann has intended it to be! Each of us allowed to figure out what works for us with no real rules about what and how we are expected to run our business (other than to be kind to your fellow consultants, share Posh positively and be yourself and what is in the P&P). Never be afraid to change things that are not working, just as long as you continue to share your passion of life and Posh. If you see something working for someone else feel free to use their idea BUT you must change it a little to make it your own. Just copying their idea word for word or action for action probably will not work for you like it does for them, instead see an idea and make it your own before using it and you will see so much more back to you for your work! 

She also shared with us a great tip as we figure out how we are going to work our business to best suit us! Keep in mind the that information equals money! So in the times you are not sure what to "do" for your business then read up on the products(which our new Posh Papers are awesome for that), go read Tuesday Training in the Box, Listen to some training calls or just go play with the products! The more you know the more you sell!! 

Perfectly Posh will work for anyone that realizes the beauty of the direct sales business, that you are no longer working for someone but WITH a bunch of people who are willing to help you find YOUR way that works for you! Many ideas to find the best way for you to build your Posh business in the way that will grow your business the most. Keeping in mind that growth never comes by standing in your comfort zone, success doesn't come to you without seeking it first! So step out of your comfort zone, staying true to yourself....Go talk face to face with people about Posh, Ask them to book parties, Get on the phone and call your leads, share Posh in a public place, Posh local businesses..........the power is within YOU to be successful!

Smile

I've been doing this for years and especially now more than before! With life being crazy for me right now I find just smiling at someone and them smiling back feels so good. Knowing that just a simple act of smiling can brighten someone's day!

Posh is the same great feeling, knowing I am sharing a great product with everyone feels so good. When they use our products they are pampering, feeling good about themselves and it brightens their day! So instead of feeling like I'm bothering someone about trying posh, I just smile then remind myself that we are here to brighten and impact those who are around us and posh will help us do that! 

So keep on smiling and sharing Posh!

Change!

I'm a busy lady like all of you, and my days are filled with praying, kiddos, household chores, volunteering, trying to get my home sold in PA, starting up a children's ministry and Posh! Why do I stay so busy and always helping those around me? Because I want to impact this world everyday that I'm blessed to be here. I work hard at everything that is on my plate and I always have. And every time I get something added to my plate I work thru it with the Lord's strength and guidance and grow as a woman even more. 

I'm finding the same with my Posh business too, I absolutely LOVE being y'all's team leader and answering your questions and encouraging your own Posh growth. The more time I put into planning, doing, sharing, blessing, teaching, and praising the more we are growing as a team and spreading the word about Posh! I want this to be my full time job where I can stay at home with my kids and this be a stable income as my husbands job causes him to be away a lot....I want my kids to know Momma will always be home for them. That is my motivation, that is why I want more with Posh and that is why I put more of myself into Posh! 

Do you want more? What are you doing to get there? Are you stepping out of your box, that's the only way to grow! What is your motivation to want more? How are you impacting those around you? Are you staying positive? 

Be the change you want to see in this world by keeping positive and blessings those around you. Change starts with you!

POSHing Positively!

I seen this information the other day and thought I would share with you on Sales! Keep this in mind when you are nervous about contacting some one again, know that just contacting them or keeping up with them after a party or sale is not being pushy. Being pushy and overbearing is asking them everyday and pushing Posh on to them, we should be building a connection with them not shoving Posh down their throats. So I challenge all of you to improve the way to you are doing follow up with your customers and hostesses. Sending them a simple personal message about how they liked the party, or what is their favorite posh item they ordered or if they are ready to earn free posh again. All things that I encourage you to do with all of your customers, have any other good ways to follow up?  

And if you have done events in the past please please follow up with all of those contacts you were given. And if you haven't got a chance to do an event yet, start searching and booking them now! That is the best way to spread the word about Posh! It takes between 7-11 times of seeing something POSITIVE about something new that most people will start asking about it! So as much positive exposure we can get is key!! What are some ways that you share Posh Positively? 

Also how are y'all coming on your goals? We have 4 ladies who have earned the recruiting Lacons this month. And a bunch of you are close to hitting the $600 sales goal, keep up the awesome work!

Act.

I know this sounds crazy but it is so so important to have the attitude of giving without excepting anything in return. This isn't just for giving away Posh or discounts but includes your time, kindness, and encouraging words. 

When you are answering questions about Posh or sending out samples try focusing on GETTING the chance to connect with people rather than focusing on them joining your team or the sale. When sharing Posh have the mindset of GETTING to pamper someone or blessing their day and do not be focused on them to booking a party or purchase posh. When answering questions focus on GETTING to connect with an old friend or making a new one rather than trying to push them to join.

It will be worth it!!

Alrighty y'all! For many of you this is your first time doing direct sales so I thought I'd put it out here! It is hard work. You have to be consistent. Do not get discouraged. Posh is a pretty brand new company which means for most of us, we are the ones introducing it to our areas which takes tons of hard work and lots of sharing and for me MANY prayers! 

It will be hard at first, it was super hard for me to get people to even try it! Don't get discouraged, look at it like a challenge. Like someone eating a food that you have never tried...you get curious about it so you watch them eat it.....if they really enjoy it then you are more willing to try it! Same with posh! It's new so they need to see you enjoying it to really give it a shot!  

Since we are such a new company then all of your hard work will pay off in the long run! Just think of how successful the top 31, Mary Kay, Avon, Scentsy and any other DS company is!! You have that opportunity here with Posh to make this a career if that is what you want! They are estimating for us to be over 12,000 consultants by next Unocon in August of 2014....all of those consultants have to join under someone.....why not you?

Start POSHing!

This is relevant for all of us! There is only so much research and reading up on what to do, sometimes we will learn way more by jumping right in. This is for starting your Posh journey, starting with follow up calls, scheduling events, asking friends and family for parties or anything that you've been doing a bunch of research on.....just start! 

When I joined up 7 months ago I was VERY nervous and excited to start with Posh, especially after having Travis leaving at the same time. But I enjoyed learning as much as I could about Posh and felt like I was pushed right into the pool before I was ready lol. Obviously having to jump right in I made mistakes but I learned the most from making mistakes which lead to learning everything that I've shared with y'all! 

So if you are waiting to get going on whatever you've been thinking of, now is the time! 

October Posh Goals

As y'all are posting your goals to start out October with I encourage you to plan and start taking the steps to reach those goals! 

If you are wanting parties(pick out the days best for you so you have something to offer first!) get on the phones and sincerely ASK your friends and family to get them scheduled. Or plan your own launch party or girls night in, countdown to Christmas party or any other type of gathering to bring your friends and family together to have fun and posh! 

If you are focusing on sales share your favorite posh products with those around you, it is easier to sell something you love! And I'm finding sampling JUST the products that I love is working better than letting them pick their samples! 

Are you wanting to build your team, then keep your eyes open for those you'd like to work with(write down your dream team), start planning for a team, then if you are ready for a big step contact those on your dream team and be genuine with them. Be yourself and share your passion for the posh opportunity and be readying or questions! you learn SO much by answering questions! 

While doing each of these things stay positive keep in mind with direct sales that you may not see results until 90 days from now, with what you are doing today!! It takes time for things to build and the key is to not stop taking the steps! You never know who is watching you...your next customer, hostess or team member.....they may be watching how much you are enjoying it, nervous to try something new or waiting for YOU to ask! So start by tip toeing, then baby steps, then walking, and before you know it you will be running past your goals and dreams!

Sharing Posh

This is my mindset when it comes to Sharing Posh! Posh makes me happy and I can make others happy by introducing them to Posh! It is such an awesome feeling getting to work by making others feel great!! So when I share Posh I'm not pushing for a sale rather I'm getting the chance to make someone's day brighter with an awesome product. If the sale, party or joining my team comes after that then great! If not then it doesn't matter I'm happy knowing I just shared my love of posh with someone and they had a better day because of it!  

May y'all have a blessed day giving happiness away!

Want to know the best way to start a conversation about sharing posh? Smile. Yep, smile at people you do not know it let's them know you are friendly then you can start a conversation as they smile back  again sharing happiness, I love smiling at people for you never know what they are going thru at that moment and a kind smile might just be what they need!

Are you Posh?

We are ALL on this team and we ALL have different goals with POSH so under this photo post what you are working toward with POSH  Whether like me you are going for a career with Posh, you are wanting it as a part time job, as a hobby, just for the fun and discount, seasonal....what ever it is please share it with us or message me! So I know how to lead you better to your goals and pray for your business!!!

Are you POSH? Or are you a person who sells Perfectly Posh? 
Do you refer to Perfectly Posh as they and them or us and we? 
Are you sharing Posh in a Positive way or just selling another product to try and make profit?

These are some questions we were asked when I attended Leadership in July. When I joined Posh it wasn't to make a career, I kind of just joined to buy the products at a discount and have something to keep me busy while Travis was deployed. He was pushing me to give it a shot and I did not see the potential. My heart softened for Posh as I began using the products, sharing which ones were my favorite and reconnecting with women in my life that our paths had gone in different directions. And when I heard these questions above from Andrew at one of our training sessions tears filled my eyes. At this point I had around 12ish ladies on my Team, was having a blast sharing Posh with those around me and still had just thought of myself as another consultant for direct sales. Hearing those words made me rethink why I was in this, what were my goals and was I going to choose to be POSH rather than sell POSH. 

This company has huge potential and I now see that from Travis pushing and the Lord blessing each step I take. And each step I've taken was out of my comfort zone and own understanding of the much bigger picture. I am blessed to lead all of you to your goals as we encourage each other and choose to be POSH. Instead of saying "They charge $8 shipping to ship to your house and $4 shipping to ship to hostess" be POSH and say "We charge $8 shipping to ship to your house and $4 shipping to ship to hostess". Feel the difference? Own your business with Posh! Did you know that with the shipping hike from USPS, UPS and FEDEX that even with the shipping price increase that we are still paying for over HALF of the shipping charges ourselves. Yep. Perfectly Posh still is paying over half of all shipping costs to customers!! Have you shipped anything lately it costs alot!! Like all of those starter kits I mailed out and those weren't even heavy! I hope with that example you can see the difference and the feel to your words when you are POSH or just a consultant selling Posh.

With POSH you own your own business with a great company and have an awesome support system of ladies to be POSH with! When sharing about POSH focus on how much YOU love the product rather than on selling the product. Wording is everything when you are trying to get someone to try out something new!!! Keep it light, fun, genuine, personal and just enjoy being POSH! 

SO no matter what we are working towards with POSH whether it's a big or little goals I hope that y'all can have fun and be encouraged to be POSH!!!!!!

I will be posting my encouraging Posts here on my blog for quick reference when you need encouraged with your Posh Journey ;)
