Step 1 - Welcome to the family!!

• We are so blessed to have you as part of the family!  Focus on Steps 1 through 4 are the most important steps for you to begin working on today before your starter kit arrives!

• Fill out your Goal Questionnaire and email to your director for your first prize, your company bumper sticker.

 

Because you are part of a record breaking unit, you are expected to be great.  You were born with seeds of greatness planted within you. I have high expectations for you and everyone in our unit because I know that you are capable of achieving far more than you believe.  It takes persistense.  It takes determination.  It takes doing what is hard and necessary, instead of what is quick and easy. I promise, all of this will be worth the effort.  Making small choices to commit to growing your business today will reap major rewards for your family for years and years to come. Don't give up what you want most, for what you want now. 

 

Step 2 - Where do I start?

1. First step is to simply make a list of everyone you know with skin.  It should have 75 or more people on it.  Complete this step before moving on.

2. ​Now, grab a calendar and mark off 8 two hour windows you are free to hold appointments.  Here is the weekly plan sheet: Click HERE. It can be three on one day, two on another and three on another.  However it works out for you.  To give you an idea, I like to personally hold 3 appointments on Saturday  (1pm, 3pm, 5pm) and one on Thursday at 6:30.  The rest of the time, I'm a Mommy.

3. From that list of people and those dates on your calendar, you will need to book your Perfect Start, a requirement for all new Beauty Consultants. A Perfect Start is to book 8 parties in your first two weeks.  You will book 8 to hold 5 (3 normally cancel).  These MUST be completed in your first two weeks.  This is part of your basic training.  To book your perfect start by phone you can use this script: Perfect Start Script   

4. To book your perfect start by text message or on Facebook, use this script:

MAGICAL TEXT MESSAGE STARTING SCRIPT:

Hi Kaytie! How are you? Okay, random question, but I just began my journey as a ____ beauty consultant and part of my training is to give 30 women a free pampering session in my first month.  Any chance you could be one of my 30 to be pampered?  Let me know.. :)  

 

When they respond, "Yes..what is it?"  

 

You say, "Great! We pick a one hour window that works best for you and you get a satin hands treatment, anti-aging facial products to use, plus expert foundation matching. :) Would you prefer a weekend or weekday?" (only give two options)  

 

She says, "Weekend."  You give her two options.  

 

You say, "How is Sunday at 2pm or Saturday at 3pm? "  You nail down a date.

 

You then say this, "Okay you are confirmed as one of my 30 pampering sessions this month on Saturday at 3pm.  Oh...and you can invite up to four others to join you (it would help me get to 30 faster too) and you also get FREE products if you have them join you.   I will check in 3 days before to remind you...get head count if you have people that wanna join. Thanks love!!!"

 

For the location, if you prefer to travel to her, you just add in,  "...and I travel to you."

If you prefer she travels to your home, you just add in, "...and I do them at my home studio in Anytown. "

 

The good news is that most consultants in our unit complete their Perfect Start in the first week.  Once you book all 8 appointments in your datebook, contact your directors office for your Pink Money Bag which will hold all the MONEY you are going to make!  Message your director to claim your money bag! 

​

Step 3 - I need to know how to hold an appointment

1. Call your recruiter and schedule a time to watch her hold 2 parties within your first two weeks.  This is required for your training.  If you are out of state, click here to watch Michelle's Online Party Video created exclusively for you.

2. Additionally, receive more training on www.marykayintouch.com

• Click on Eduction Tab.

• Click on Silver Wings Scholar.

• Click on New Consultants.

• Complete the New Consultant over the next few days.  Receive a prize once this step is completed.  

• Message your director to claim your Silver Wings Scholar Certificate.

 

Step 4 - Share the  Opportunity

As part of your basic training, you earn a Pearl Jewelry Set for completing 6 sharing opportunities with your Sales Director or recruiter in the first 30 days.

 

To schedule this, you pick 6 of the sharpest women (over 18) you know to give their feedback on the company opportunity.  

Step 1.  Let them try the products first.  We share with women who have familiarity with our products.

Step 2.  Ask them this by text or phone: "Hi Sarah! With my new "company name" venture, I need to practice sharing the  opportunity with 6 of the sharpest women I know to get their feedback.  Even if you aren't interested, it's okay!  Any chance you could donate 20 minutes of time to give feedback on our company information?"

Step 3.  Discuss with your director  if you will hold these appointments in person at a coffee shop or over the phone.  In person is preferred, but if you are out of state, we also do over the phone or Facetime. :)

Step 4. Book the time.

Step 5. Before we chat with her, message her this, "Oh and before we meet can you watch a quick 5 minute video about our company and submit feedback?  You get a free gift for listening before we chat."

Once you have held 6 Practice Sharing Appointments completed, you will receive a Pearl Earrings & Bracelet from your director. 

 

Step 5- Open a separate Checking Account

Open a separate personal checking account to keep your personal and business accounts separate.  This is helpful when it comes to tax time.

 

Step 6 - Attend Your First Local Meeting

Attend a local meeting every week.  You'll receive your hands on New Consultant Training Classes during these short 2 hour events.  Dress for success in a skirt or dress for all company events.  You'll want to start wearing only our skincare, makeup and perfume products and here is a great guide that shows you what you'll need: A Guide To Your New Look

 

So dress the part with fabulous makeup and a skirt or dress for the event.  Pants are not part of our culture. We dress like ladies...we are true professionals in the beauty industry so we look a cut above the rest.   And at this event, every other week,  you'll receive training, inspiration, and grow amazing friendships.  If you want to make this business work for you, then this event is a requirement every week.  I would recommend NEVER missing this event.  It is the key to your success.  Most consultants will treat this event like they do a job.  They are there every other week.  It's the best way you can spend 1.5 hours of your time.  And you can always bring guests along for a pampering session, so you can earn while you learn.
