Sponsoring- Manila Folder Idea

Manila Folder at Show Sponsoring:

Have several small manila envelopes and write large numbers on the front. Put the following items in each one.

1. Jewelry- A Premier Necklace, earrings OR Ring, etc.
This will symbolize that Premier Jewelers love our product, it's fun to wear, and we get it at 50% off the retail price. Tell them that everything on the table is your "Jewelry Box" and that you get to wear your product as a " walking build board" every day!!!

2. Watch- Try to put a Premier Watch in the envelope.
This shows that we make our own schedules, and that NO ONE tells us what time to be at work, or what time we can leave. We can have one show a month, one show every three months, or one show a day! We can work every Saturday, or never a Saturday. It's our business, so we make the work schedule. We own our own business, thus we make our own rules and time schedules

.3. A few dollar bills.
Explain that most women get into Premier because of the incredible income they make! We make 50% of what we sell, so if we have a show that retails $500.00, we've made $250.00 from that one show, in just a few hours! Explain that we can earn over $1,000 for having less than five shows a month! Everyone can use extra money, and this is a great way to make it!

4. Put a Badge, Ribbon, or a Certificate in the envelope (You can buy these at the Dollar Store.)This symbolizes that one of Premier's main goals is to recognize women for all that they do. In a world where women are often not recognized for our true value, the company wants us to feel as important as we are. They recognize us in countless ways, and continue to build our confidence with every show we do.Who couldn't use more confidence?

5. Photo of something that is important and personal to you (This is to show "your story" of why you decided to do Premier.)
Our photo is of a vacation spot we go to every year, and I explain how I started Premier to have travel money. However, when Chris started losing hours due to government cutbacks this past November, our Premier money helped us pay our mortgage. Now that Chris' hours are back up to normal, we are putting that money back into our Travel Fund.

So, your photo might be of your family (more time with them), of the Jewelry (owning your own business), of a smiling face (less stress than working two jobs or worrying about money), etc.

Tell the guests that you'd love to share more about Premier with them, and as they check out, make sure to ask each one if she'd like to learn more about Premier. If she says yes, :) then take her e-mail address and phone number and tell her you'll contact her (the next day or so) to provide her with information about Premier, and to invite her to Diamonds and Desserts, Purse Night, or a one-on-one get together.

As a side note... DO NOT BE AFRAID to sponsor other ladies in Premier. Although you are brand new into this company, we are here to support you, thus you are not sponsoring on your own. We will literally walk you through it, and you won't ever be alone to help someone who wants to sign up, talk about the company, etc. We'll be with you to help you do that. So, just contact us if someone wants to learn more about our company, and we'll be there for you!

Sponsoring Idea- My Sweet Story

This is a Premier Standby, but works really well and is so much fun!

Below is an example of a Sweet Story, however you'll want to go to Sheets (best candy selection EVER!!!) and pick out candy that represents your own Premier Story. (Remember to keep your reciept and document it as a tax write-off.)

I use index cards to help me remember what each candy bar represents.

My Sweet Story:
I want to share a real sweet story with you, but I am going to need your help. When I hold something up from my bag I need you to say what it is. Well, I use to think this stood for M & M's, however, I found out a few months ago that it stood for "More Money."

That's where my husband and I were a few months ago. We had some home projects that required some extra money however we looked at our checkbook and didn't see a 100 GRAND.

Meanwhile, I had a Premier Designs Jewelry show and loved going on my shopping SPREE.

However, I learned that I could make this my own business where every time I had a jewelry show it would be PAYDAY!!!

Premier has been such a LIFESAVER and has given me so much JOY.

It has also got us out of our money CRUNCH and our bank account is no longer ZERO.

So if you or someone else might be interested in hosting a show or learning more about the business. I would love to share with you more about how Premier has been a blessing to us. I am so excited about our new business and love sharing it with others.

So be a bunch of SMARTIES and don't pass up the opportunity to think about this tonight, because if you don't do it NOW---you may wish you had done it LATER!

Sponsoring Ideas- Using an Index Card

Premier Sponsor with an Index Card!!!

Created by: Ramona Solomon-4 Diamond Designer, NC

Ramona does this after she does -Big Money!- But you could do it alone as well.

After presenting "Big Money" hand each guest an index card and a pen and say, "Ladies fill these in with the following information."

1. On the first line, please write your name.

2. On the second line, write the names of six ladies that you love, like you, or owe you a favor! These could be family members, friends, neighbors, church members,ANYONE!!!

3. On the third line, write the name of a person you know who could really use some extra money. It that is YOU, write down your name!

4. On the fifth line, write down what you would do with an extra $1,000 per month.(Jewelers,that's an average of five shows per month about $200.00 gross profit per show.)

Ladies, you may wonder why I asked you to do this. Well, you have just done the hardest thing an entrepreneur has to do. You have written your business plan.

You have your name on the card because it would be your own business.

The six ladies you wrote down are the names of the women who would help you get your business started.

At customer service, I have their index cards in hand.

When each customer comes to Customer service, I say, "I'd love to show you how you could make $200 every ______ (the night/ afternoon they indicated was less hectic)."

"It would definitely help you ______ (I say whatever they said they?d use the $1,000 for)., and these six ladies are the way you'd get your business started and pay off your investment."

"It normally only takes six shows! See, here are my last five shows and I made _______! What do you think???"

Remember to talk to each guest personally at check out about sharing Premier with her and setting up an appointment. That is what I do with the customers.

With the hostess, I finish all her paper work and then I figure out how much I made! I then look at her and say, "Tonight, I made $_______. It is yours to help you start your own Premier business, plus, the 3 shows (or whatever you got) are yours. With thre (or whatever you got) shows that means an additional $600.00 (or $200.00 times number of shows) that is yours.

In all, I'm handing you about $900.00 (or whatever you made and would make off the shows that were booked) which almost/or does cover your investment!

At the first 2 Home Shows she did this, Ramona set up SIX.

Sponsoring-

This comes from Krista Miller. Thanks for this awesome idea, Krista!

You will get a bag full of SOME of the items listed below. I wouldn't use all of them, as it could go on too long to keep the attention of the ladies. Pick your favorite items that most relate to you, and pull them from your bag, saying the cute little line below. You can change it to best relate to your lives, your business, or your families.

Also, you can attach an index card to each item, so you have less to remember, and just pull each item out and read off the card. So easy, and the ladies at your shows will LOVE it!!!

Welcome to our Blog!

Seriously, who would have thought it was possible??? Maria Keyes, world's only teacher not to understand (at all) how to use a computer now has a blog!!! I have Ashley Crowe-Beahm to thank, who has had the faith in me and has encouraged me to create this, sent me SPECIFIC directions on how to create a blog, and I know will ask me tomorrow BEFORE Advisory, if I made one!

So, here we are. Maria and Chris Keyes, and this is our official blog! :) Welcome! :)

Our goal in creating this is to make it a Posting Board for our Premier Designs Family. We have so many members of our "Keyes to Success" Premier Family, that sending out e-mail after e-mail with information, was too much. So, here everyone can visit, gain information, print off copies, and keep in contact without "bogging down" their e-mail accounts. :)

So, let the blogging begin! :)
