Thank you Thank you Donna Bayes!!!!  When I was building the business I always was circulating  5  color books a week for outside orders. Copy these off, put in the samples, put them in clear sheet protectors, and let your outside order hostess help your business! I always gave them $30 in free Mary Kay for $100 retail in purchases. I averaged 8 customers per $100 and built the busines from there!!!  Again, HUGE thank yous to Donna Bayes!!!

by Gloria Mayfield Banks!

THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE SELLING IDEA FROM  SNSD GLORIA MAYFIELD-BANKS!!

THINK ABOUT IT, EVERYONE THAT PURCHASES A TRAVEL ROLL-UP BAG IN this month GETS $200 FREE PRODUCT IN next month! THAT ONLY COSTS YOU $100 IN WHOLESALE PRODUCT, BUT THE PAYOFF FOR YOU IS HUGE!

YOU WILL REACH YOUR MONTHLY GOALS! YOU WILL MOVE LOTS OF PRODUCT! YOU WILL HAVE YOUR POWER START BOOKED FOR NEXT MONTH! YOU CAN PROMOTE SELLING 13 BAGS TO HIT $4836.00 IN SALES BECAUSE YOUR ON A MISSION TO SELL 13 BAGS IN ONE MONTH!!

THIS IS A BRILLANT IDEA FROM A BRILLANT WOMAN (EXECUTIVE NSD GLORIA MAYFIELD-BANKS) AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHO TAKES THE CHALLENGE! GO FOR IT!!!!

When you sell 13 ROLL UP BAGS, in one month - WOW!!!!  You will offer the facial/skin care customers a certificate for $200 in Free Product. She will be super excited.

The free product is redeemable only in July.

All she has to do is:
1. Purchase and pay in full-$372.00- for her ROLL UP BAG in this month.
2. Has her check-up facial in next month and shares it with at least one person (you may want to increase this number).

Everyone get excited - can you stand it?! So many people will book with you when you share with them your desire to meet the challenge for Mary Kay's Anniversary. 13 is Mary Kay's favorite lucky number.

The master of the ROLL UP BAG, NSD Cindy Williams was here with me in Baltimore yesterday. It was one of my favorite Mary Kay days. Talk about brilliance, funny, down-to-earth and giving. Her training was superior. Please check out her site www.cindywilliamsnsd.com to get the latest on teaching the skin care class and moving tons of bags.

What is in it for the customer:
1. The best selling brand of skin care.
2. A custom set filled with her greatest desires.
3. The deal of the year.
4. The ability to purchase on visa, master, discover - wow
5. The ability to help you meet your goal.
6. And the best and happiest beauty consultant ever.

What is in it for you:
1. A fabulous customer forever.
2. A goal that is fun, reachable and significant
3. An ability to place an BIG wholesale order in any month in the Mary Kay year, your year, your directors year and your Nationals year.
4. This will take you to a place of selling you have never been before - going here - you will always know what you can generate to impact your family's finances.
5. You will have 13 appointments in the next month - set before the month starts.
6. Your customer will try new products she may have never tried and with excellent customer service the reorder will be repayment for years to come.
7. At every appointment in this month and next - you will have an wonderful women to interview. When she see you collect $372+ in a VERY short time period she will be VERY open to being on your team.
8. Your Star Consultant order is Done!!!
9. I believe there are other benefits on both list - keep adding!!!

10 Bags = $3720
5 Bags = $1860

An on-the-go appointment is an easy way to market products. Independent Senior Sales Director Julie Potts from Alpharetta, Georgia, teaches the Independent Beauty Consultants in her unit to do 10-minute hand facials while they are on the go. They can easily be done during a lunch hour or at a basketball game, anywhere there is a sink nearby. 

To conduct hand facials, you will want to have samples or demos of the products mentioned below. Julie also has a Travel Roll-Up Bag on hand, filled with the Beauty Essentials sets so she can upsell glamour and skin supplements as well.

At each step of the hand facial, you'll want to be sure to share the benefits of each item, including the results of using TimeWise that are presented in the Beauty Book.

You may suggest the customer apply the products in the following order:

 Step 1 Apply TimeWise 3-in-1 Cleanser on the back of the right hand. Rinse off.
 Step 2 Apply TimeWise Age-Fighting Moisturizer on the back of the right hand
 Step 3 Apply Day Solution with Sunscreen SPF 15 on the right hand.
 Step 4 Apply Night Solution on another area of the right hand.
 Step 5 Apply Mary Kay Foundation on the back of both hands. Point out the difference in how the foundation blends and looks on the hand that was first "primed" with the TimeWise products.
 Step 6 Finish with the first three steps of Satin Hands on both hands to remove the foundation. For the fourth step, Julie substitutes the TimeWise Visibly Fit Body Lotion for the Satin Hands Hand Cream to help promote the purchase of the Day Spa products in pocket 4.

Julie teaches Consultants to have a Miracle Set and a Day Spa Set ready for the customer to take home. (The suggested retail price is $152.) She also encourages them to include a team-building brochure and to book a follow-up appointment. 



Shop 'n Sample - Here is an idea that will make the most of your deliveries!  When you get a reorder ... don't just pop it in the mail or deliver it when the customer is at work!  Arrange for a delivery time, and ask if they have 5-10 minutes to "Shop 'n Sample!"  I take the black sample zip carry bag (MK Connections) and fill all the pages with all the samples in every category imaginable.  The reorder customer gets their delivery with me and 10 minutes to "Shop 'n Sample" through my samples and take as many as she wants that she would like to try ... lipsticks, glosses, eye shadows, blushes, etc.  I have had some customers take as many as 10-12.  They get 58 hours to try them and when they place an order of $40+ from their samples they get $5 off.  Many of these customers are not interested in classes, but with this concept - they are loving it!  From ESD Irene Shea - Great idea, Irene!

Focus on selling 100 items in 30 days.  Number a piece of paper and keep track of each item sold.  It has been helpful to me to mark the calendar half way through.  Verify that you are on track and not falling behind.  Charting progress is not only motivating, it creates self-discipline.
