I Share Because I Care - Grace Keohohou Conference Call
Another amazing experience! I try to attend every Grace Keohohou event I can and so should you! For those of you who don't know who she is. Grace Keohohou and Her Mother started the Direct Selling Women's Alliance. There's a link on the right hand side of my blog.
Last night's conference call was for Daisy Blue Naturals consultants and we discussed more in depth some of the topics Grace presented at our National Conference in July.
Here are some points I jotted down so I could share with you all:
1. There are 3 Types of No:
- kNOw - as in "I need to know more"
- NOt - as is "Not Now"
- NO - as in not ever
Kims Input: It is important to figure out what people are saying when they say no! It would be a shame if you assumed someone meant "not ever" when they really meant "not now" or "I need to know more". How do you do this? Ask questions! Talk to your clients and especially potential clients! We are in the business of relationship building. It is very important not to just deliver a sales pitch and then when you hear "no" move on to the next person on your list!
By asking questions and getting to really know the people you speak to - you will be able to better understand what people are telling you! Also follow up the "no's" you hear with questions like, "Okay, thanks for listening to me, I had a great time talking with you and I'll touch base again in ________ okay?" or "Okay ______, did you have any questions you wanted to ask me while I here with you?" this way you find out what they really mean by "No"
Palm Connector
Reach out your palm (just do it!) face down towards the floor. Now pull it towards you. This movement is all about you. Palm down movements in your business are when you do things that are motivated around you. Selling a customer something just to meet a quota would be a palm down approach. Putting your benefit before the person you are contacting. Focusing on your needs instead of theirs. These are all Palm Down.
Now, reach out your hand again (come on - do it! trust me!) Now pull this towards you. This movement is all about the person in front of you. It says "How can I help you?" The Palm up approach let's people put their needs into your hands. It gives you a chance to put their needs before yours. If you approach people palm up, you approach them with "What can I do to help you today?"
When Grace had us do this, I actually "felt" different - the palm up felt so much better than the palm down. She said to ask yourself each day "am I palm up?"
3. Vision of what we Want
Grace walked us through an amazing 4 step process she went through herself to get a clear vision of what she wanted and I'll share that with you. It is important when setting goals to create clarity. Goals should be measurable and specific. For example here's a goal:
~ I will sign up 2 consultants
now let's make that a bit more specific
~ I will sign up 2 consultants in October
...let's keep going
~ I will sign up 2 outgoing, self motivated consultants in October
....and further
~ I will sign up 2 outgoing, self motivated fun women as consultants by October 21st at midnight.
Do you see how different the last statement is from the first? When you set measureable and specific goals you know exactly what you're looking for and in what time frame you have to accomplish it. A statement Grace used that I really liked here was: *Vague Goals = Vague Results*
5. I am in the Process of...
Grace mentioned how important it is to start you day off right and I agree. I can't remember who she got this from...but...take the first 30 minutes of your day and use it to make sure you get a good start!
The statement "I am in the process of...." is very powerful. Try saying:
"I am in the process of having a fantastic day"
or
"I am in the process of making a difference today"
make up your own daily "I am in the process of..." affirmation. Get your kids involved. Ask them "What are you in the process of today?" Have them say "I am in the process of making an A on test today" or "I am in the process of making a new friend today".
I will be adding this affirmation to my rountine from now on!
6. Struggling to get sales?
We are in the business of serving others! We are so very lucky to be a part of something as wonderful as direct sales and network marketing! Really! I mean come on! We get paid to socialize, to meet new people, make new friends, improve the lives of others and of the world around us! I get so excited when I think about the opportunity that was given to me. Grace reminded us of that last night. She told us how someone once told her she was being selfish by not doing speaking engagements! By NOT sharing what she has been given.
We are the same. We have been given a tremendous opportunity to improve our lives, to help others and to share what we have. And it is truly selfish of us to keep it to ourselves!
All those things I've discussed up to now come into play here. Are you positive and happy? Are you approaching people palm up? People like doing business with people that are positive and make them feel good. We are not the priority in this business - "they" are! All those people waiting to be given the same opportunity that you were.
Those people are the priority. They have had long days, their voice mail is filled with people wanting things from them, their to do lists are staring them in the face. You have the opportunity to be the one person that day that contacts them to actually *help* them out, to offer them a solution, to be a welcoming voice on the other end of the phone.
Think of how you would feel if you got home from work - listened to your voicemail: Bill collector, bill collector, solicitor, kids needing a ride from the movies, etc. Then the next call you answer is a telemarketer, then you get a call from a Daisy Blue Rep and she says in a friendly voice, "Hi Sally, it's Sue, I was just thinking about you and thought I'd call to check in and see how you are doing? How was your day today?"
How would that feel? Someone who cares about *you* and how *you* are doing, wondering if *you* need anything? Nice, huh?"
Remember also - because we exist, she doesn't have to 'remember' when she's running out of something. We call to check in so that she has one less thing to worry about. "I want to make sure you have everything you need."
Our customers are the prioity. We get paid to make their lives easier. How wonderful is that? Why wouldn't they want to hear from you?
Make the calls! Do the follow up! here's some statistics that grace shared with us:
48% of Direct Sellers never follow up
25% make the second call
12% make the third call
10% make more than three calls
now check this out:
2% of sales are made on first contact
3% of sales are made on second contact
4% of sales are made on third contact
10% of sales are made on fourth contact
80% of sales are made on 5th - 12th contact!!!
Remember how I started this blog? No has 3 meanings....keep contacting your community!
Call back your leads. Make those re-order calls. Keep in touch with your people!
Motion makes Motivation Materialize!
6. Quality Cards
Grace talked about "collecting" business cards when you hand out business cards. That way she doesn't have to wait for people to contact her - she can take that first step in the relationship herself. I think this is an awesome idea! She added this incredible yet easy to do step:
write on the back of the card something that stood out about this person! Something that you can reference when contacting them. For Ex: Hi Sally Sue, This is Kim, we met at King Soopers the other day. I have to tell you, your smile was so engaging, it was such a pleasure to meet you!
-if you are leaving this on a voicemail - finish up with a call to action like: I really hope we get the chance to speak again, you seem like someone I would really like to get to know better!
**Very important*** These statements should be TRUE!!!
I hope this article helped you as much as the conference call helped me! Please share any "A-Ha's" you had by leaving a comment on this post! Feedback and sharing feels good and helps others - especially me! If I know what you like or what helps you most - I can focus more on those points if future blog posts!
have a fabulous day!

Campaign for Safe Cosmetics
One of the reasons I am in the natural skincare business is because I am passionate about offering people safe products. I feel good knowing that I am providing families products that are free from harmful chemical additives including synthetic preservatives.
Daisy Blue Naturals has signed the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics along with 600 other companies. By signing this these companies "pledge to remove toxic chemicals and replace them with safer alternatives in every market they serve." (from website)
I would like to comment on some things you may be saying to yourself right now:
"I purchase and use products from well known companies"
"(skincare company) is a natural/botanical skincare company."
"(skincare company) is very active in women's health and well being, they would not use harmful ingredients"
I have said every one of these things in the past! I have also been completely surprised and dumbfounded by what I found when I read my labels. I have been saddened to find out that a company I represented as 'safe' and 'beneficial' and 'good for you' was using parabens as a preservative in their products among other questionable ingredients.
We can't change the past. We can change the future! I was so excited to find a company that was 'truly' dedicated to producing toxin free, Natural products that are healthy for both their customers and the environment! To find a company that is in line with your personal beliefs and morals is such a good feeling that you can't help but want to share it with others!
However, let me say here that I am not saying that we are the only company that is dedicated to this. The main purpose of this article is to say that not all Natural Skincare companies are free from toxic chemicals I urge you to visit the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics website and see who has and who has refused to sign the compact. If your current skincare/haircare/home product companies have not or will not sign this campaign - ask them why?
The main reason we hear is that "our products are in-line with current EU guidelines". To this I urge you to ask questions. Testing of skincare products are geared towards one product and are to test for skin irritaion and allergic reaction - not longterm use of a combination of products containing these ingredients. For instance the EU deems parabens safe for use at a .05% level. However that is for one product. What if you are using 10 products that contain .05% paraben levels every day for 10 years? There is no test for that. There is no test for long term use of ingredients shown to be toxic. There is only testing to see what levels these toxic chemicals are safe to use without irritating your skin at application.
Now you should ask "Why?" again. Why even use these ingredients if you do not have to? They may not tell you - but the answer is - they are cost effective. They are cheaper to use then the natural alternatives. Period.

From the website:
Personal care products like shampoo, conditioner, after shave, lotion and makeup are not regulated by the FDA or any other government agency. It is perfectly legal and very common for companies to use ingredients that are known or suspected to be carcinogens, mutagens or reproductive toxins in the their products. Consumers buy these products at drug stores, grocery stores, online or in salons, usually without questioning the product’s safety.
We are asking cosmetics and personal care products companies to sign the Compact for Safe Cosmetics (also known as the Compact for the Global Production of Safer Health and Beauty Products), a pledge to remove toxic chemicals and replace them with safer alternatives in every market they serve. As of August 2007, 600 companies have signed the Compact -- and that number increases every day!
In closing, I am not trying to scare into using Daisy Blue Naturals! I am urging you to take the same precautions when choosing your skincare as you would when choosing your food! I am urging you to visit the Campaign website and choose companies who have chosen to act responsibly when it comes to their customers wellbeing.Thursday, May 1, 2008
Motivation - The Direct Selling Woman
So who is a woman of the direct selling profession?
She is many things. She is North American, Australian and Asian. She's Latin and European. She comes in all shapes and sizes: large and small and short and tall. Her hair is black and brown and blond - and silver. She comes from every walk of life: From family farms and average, ordinary towns to big, sophisticated cities.
The typical direct selling professional is a married woman, a wife who loves
her husband and children. She's also a divorced mom determined to work at home and raise her kids. She's a grandmother, toned, tanned, tuned in and out to win the second half of her life. And in very sad situations, she's a mistreated woman seeking to escape an abusive relationship. She's a no-nonsense corporate career woman who hit her head on the "glass ceiling" one too many times - and a sensible, single woman who's decided that rather than "marry a millionaire" she'll just become one. She is a Ph.D., a high school dropout and everything in between.
But no matter her nationality, shape or size, no matter her education, race
or religion she is the feminine face of free enterprise. She's business in blue
jeans; wholesale in high heels; an entrepreneur in an evening gown. Her
energies drive the world's economy. Her efforts mesh the gears of international commerce. Her time and talent puts food in the fridge, clothes in the closet and cars in the garage.
She keeps factories functioning, freight cars filled, and trucks trucking. In
fact, if all the multiplied millions of women in direct selling stopped work
for one week, the world's economy would stumble to a standstill.
She is a strong woman. Part angel, actress and acrobat, she is a multi-tasking miracle - she can fold laundry, repair a bike, prepare a dinner, change a baby, change a tire and host a conference call - all at the same time.
A fusion of model, missionary and magician, she can wrench ninety minutes
from an hour, squeeze eight days out of a week and 40 days from a month. She can meet a month end production deadline dead center - and although she may not feel it, she's drop dead gorgeous.
She is a strong woman.
She can be found anywhere: From a concourse to a convention center. You'll find her on a laptop in a coffee shop, hosting an in home presentation, up front training or sitting in a seminar listening and learning. But mostly you'll find her at home because that's probably why she chose direct selling in the first place. She really wants to work from home.
An independent sales representative, she is the CEO of her own corporation.
Her corner office commands a sweeping view of her back yard and her kids at play. In the beginning her desk may be a folding card table with a milk crate credenza but it's a real office just the same - the nerve center of the greatest operation on earth.
This lady of direct selling is courage, character and consistency,
leadership, loyalty and love. She loves God. She loves her family. She loves her company. She loves her products. She loves people.
This direct selling dynamo never meets a stranger. She simply has no time to be timid. From grocery checkouts to waiting rooms to county fairs she is the world's most effective and natural networker. She is prospecting and presentations; recruitment and retention. She is
on-line enrollment and education, bookings and benefits, motivation and more. She's a team builder, cheerleader and star player all in one. As a consultant, counselor and coach she is persistence, patience and profit and a little prayer.
She's a strong woman.
In a world where clarity is a rarity, she knows what she wants. Instead of
taking care she's taking charge . While protecting the present she is planning the future. While others wish, she works. While others are making excuses, she is making money. The very reasons why some women say they can't succeed are the compelling reasons why she must.
She is a strong woman.
She is a tough-minded optimist. Pleasantly persistent she moves from
rejection to rejection without losing enthusiasm. She knows that her sales are in direct proportion to the number of times she is willing to open herself up to being let down. She doesn't enjoy it any more than anyone else but has come to terms with rejection and refuses to let it stop her from pursuing her goals.
She is a strong woman.
She is many things. She is North American, Australian and Asian. She's Latin and European. She comes in all shapes and sizes: large and small and short and tall. Her hair is black and brown and blond - and silver. She comes from every walk of life: From family farms and average, ordinary towns to big, sophisticated cities.

She's a no-nonsense corporate career woman who hit her head on the "glass ceiling" one too many times - and a sensible, single woman who's decided that rather than "marry a millionaire" she'll just become one. She is a Ph.D., a high school dropout and everything in between.
But no matter her nationality, shape or size, no matter her education, race
or religion she is the feminine face of free enterprise. She's business in blue
jeans; wholesale in high heels; an entrepreneur in an evening gown. Her
energies drive the world's economy. Her efforts mesh the gears of international commerce. Her time and talent puts food in the fridge, clothes in the closet and cars in the garage.
She keeps factories functioning, freight cars filled, and trucks trucking. In
fact, if all the multiplied millions of women in direct selling stopped work
for one week, the world's economy would stumble to a standstill.
She is a strong woman. Part angel, actress and acrobat, she is a multi-tasking miracle - she can fold laundry, repair a bike, prepare a dinner, change a baby, change a tire and host a conference call - all at the same time.
A fusion of model, missionary and magician, she can wrench ninety minutes
from an hour, squeeze eight days out of a week and 40 days from a month. She can meet a month end production deadline dead center - and although she may not feel it, she's drop dead gorgeous.
She is a strong woman.
She can be found anywhere: From a concourse to a convention center. You'll find her on a laptop in a coffee shop, hosting an in home presentation, up front training or sitting in a seminar listening and learning. But mostly you'll find her at home because that's probably why she chose direct selling in the first place. She really wants to work from home.
An independent sales representative, she is the CEO of her own corporation.
Her corner office commands a sweeping view of her back yard and her kids at play. In the beginning her desk may be a folding card table with a milk crate credenza but it's a real office just the same - the nerve center of the greatest operation on earth.
This lady of direct selling is courage, character and consistency,
leadership, loyalty and love. She loves God. She loves her family. She loves her company. She loves her products. She loves people.
This direct selling dynamo never meets a stranger. She simply has no time to be timid. From grocery checkouts to waiting rooms to county fairs she is the world's most effective and natural networker. She is prospecting and presentations; recruitment and retention. She is
on-line enrollment and education, bookings and benefits, motivation and more. She's a team builder, cheerleader and star player all in one. As a consultant, counselor and coach she is persistence, patience and profit and a little prayer.
She's a strong woman.
In a world where clarity is a rarity, she knows what she wants. Instead of
taking care she's taking charge . While protecting the present she is planning the future. While others wish, she works. While others are making excuses, she is making money. The very reasons why some women say they can't succeed are the compelling reasons why she must.
She is a strong woman.
She is a tough-minded optimist. Pleasantly persistent she moves from
rejection to rejection without losing enthusiasm. She knows that her sales are in direct proportion to the number of times she is willing to open herself up to being let down. She doesn't enjoy it any more than anyone else but has come to terms with rejection and refuses to let it stop her from pursuing her goals.
She is a strong woman.
