First question, how long are the announced specials good?

Second question, if you had a somewhat newbie in your downline what specials whould you encourage him or her to jump on?


Although I am not technically a newbie, I am getting back into the business. I took advantage of the candle special last week, and I know I can move those fairly easily, and I am contemplating getting in on the mia melt special--I figured I would use some, give some as gifts, and it might be good to have on hand when the plug-ins come out. I also thought I would use some of those as samples. Any thoughts? I have almost talked myself into the signature line special as well, but I really need someone to give me a second opinion here.

I was hoping someone on here could give me a quick response.

They said they are good until Tuesday from what the call said but I can picture them extending it since there was trouble with online ordering.

I would recommend the melts to anyone for this special. They would have a variety of scents that way and could break them down into smaller packaging for sales and samples.

Nicole,

Thanks for the quick response. I just needed a confirmation. I tend to go overboard with stocking up and then I sit on product too long, but I think this deal is just too good. I also think this will motivate me to get out there and share some samples with more people. Glad to know I have until at least tomorrow, so I can put together a well-thought through order.


Trying to reach my 5 a day, but for now I just need to be consistant with 1 or 2 each day.

Your welcome. It is also a good time to stock up on the catalogs they have on special it is a REALLY good price but keep in mind new ones will be out soon as well featuring the new Twilight on front with the pluggins on the inside marked as "coming soon" but still a great price to use and lay around here and there places .

Hi Melissa,

Great questions...as a leader, my first question would be what are you goals for the next 90 days and are you ready to move inventory. They are great specials and I would encourage stocking up on the popular scents and candles, but ONLY if you are going to do something to move them. No special is good if it is going to sit in boxes in your closet.

It's only good if you are going to sell it to make a profit :-)

I agree with Louann, the specials are amazing but only if you are going to take advantage of the extra profits!

(like Louann said, sales makes more $ than a closet full!)

Only purchase what you comfortable purchasing, and only purchase what you will COMMIT to sell within X amount of days to get some CA$H in your hands!

AND I think you are doing GREAT with 1-2 contacts a day, that is STILL about 700 per year at that rate, keep up the awesome work!!!
