There is an entire market that is yet untapped for Holiday Sales and of course it is the market of men who dont really enjoy shopping.

If you are married.. I want you to consider your husband.

If you are dating someone special.. I want you to consider that special man in your life.

If you are single and having a great time in your life.. I want you to consider your father, or brother, or a girlfriend of yours who may have a husband or is dating someone special.

 Ask yourself a question do the majority of those men have their Christmas shopping done?  Do the majority of those men have any real idea what the women in his life would enjoy as a gift?  Wouldnt it be more fun for the women in their lives to receive a gift they REALLY do want, rather than just something that he picked up at the last minute so he would have a gift.

20 years ago .. I attended an art showing that was part of a Direct Sales company.  The consultant asked me at the end of the party if there was any piece that I really would love to own..but just didnt feel I could spend the money on that evening.   I KNEW exactly what piece she was talking about.  She said she would suggest it to my husband for a Christmas gift for me.   Time passed..and I forgot all about it.   Well. SHE didnt forget.. and low and behold on Christmas Eve under the tree was the art piece!  ( wrapped by the consultant..and Garys card attached.)

    NO wonder it was the BEST Christmas we ever had.  Gary was relaxed..and didnt have to feel guilty or worry every day for 30 days about what gift to buy.  It was all done in a stress free way.

 By the way...the consultant didnt know me other than meeting  at the original party.  She didnt have any type of relationship with Gary.. but she owned a business..and as all business owners do.. they promote their business and serve people at the same time.

HOW Could YOU be a personal shopper for some men in your lives!

Start by making a list of 10 20 men

Your Brother

Your Father

Your Cousin

Your Son in law

Your Son

Male friends you may know thru business relationships, church relationships, neighborhood relationships, community relationships or social relationship.

And of COURSE..The husbands of your clients.

When you break thru the barrier of calling men.. it will more than double your business. 

When your purpose is bigger than whatever is holding you back.. you will do it.

SOOO:

Do you want to have your Christmas bills paid off before Christmas?

Do you have past bills that are still due?

Do you want to purchase something special for your home?

Do you have a vacation you want to pay for?

What is your reason that will make you want to pic up your phone tomorrow?

 As mary Kay herself often said. The more people you serve.. the more you will make.
