Hey Mama!
How you doing with your Stella & Dot these days? It's been a couple of months. Are you settling in and finding your groove? The first couple weeks/months can be overwhelming, but take it from me--it's worth it! I'm also a Stylist for Stella & Dot and while I *really* love the money I'm making with the business, the real perks for me have been the "me time" with the fabulous women I'm working with! I've made so many new friends within my pool of colleagues, hostesses, and guests at trunk shows! If you're still feeling a little bit like a fish out of water, find a local S & D team meeting. It really helps to get together with other Stylists for support and idea-sharing! I've got a great list of "ideas to jumpstart your business" that I'd be happy to email to you if you message me your email address. I think the best advice I can give is to focus on the fun part of it all. Why did you join in the first place? Revisit and refocus on that and then go get em! It can be so fun! Let it be one of your outlets, not one of your stressors!
To all of the naysayers out there, to compare Stella & Dot jewelry to the other home party jewelry lines is like comparing apples to oranges. Ladies, this stuff has been featured in InStyle magazine 83 times! It's got some real design cred! Besides that, the quality you're getting far exceeds what you'd get at outlet stores or cheaper venues. The silver jewelry is sterling silver and the gold is sterling silver is gold vermeil, dipped 20 TIMES in gold--the industry standard is dipped twice. We stand by our product and the return policy proves that. Yes there some more expensive pieces, but 50% of the line is under $50! If you've gotta have that high end piece, host a trunk show at your home and be like our other hostesses who earn an average of $250 per trunk show in free jewelry plus additional pieces at half off.
I love it all! I love the jewels, I love the trunk shows, I love being a Stylist! Congratulations on your new venture, C.! You can totally do this!!
xoxo,
K. H.
