Let Them Eat Your Dust!

While your competitors are busy chomping on turkey and shopping on Black Friday, you could be ahead of the game with about 30 minutes of time and never even leave your computer.

Probably the last thing you want to do today is business related, right?

You’d laugh if you saw me here at the moment, half dressed in my robe, typing, fresh from a shower and slugging down a quart of coffee in anticipation of a hoard of family and friends coming over for the big feast. And you? I bet you’re either trying to defrost the turkey, clean for company, baking or buying something to bring to the in-laws, or packing for the road trip back home.

So know what can make the other guys on the block eat your dust?

Simple. It’s a very brief thank you email to your home party customers, hostesses, prospects, and your down–line.

You would be surprised how far that goes.

Good will goes a long way, plus opens and continues to keep open the relationship door.
And guess what? If you don’t get around to it today, or tomorrow, your little 30 minute investment works as long as you do it by Sunday this week!

Key points:

—Don’t do a mass email.
Compose a friendly standard message, copy and paste, then tweak for each person.

—Make it brief.
Type about how you appreciate that they chose you over someone else.

—End it with a question that creates a response:
For instance: “How are your kids doing?” or “Did you have fun with the items you ordered?” or “Did you know that…..” When you get a reply back, wait until this holiday is over before sending another email.

—Start with emailing 10 people.
When you have 10 minutes, do another set of 10.

You might get a response back And then you can take it from there, continue the reconnection.

And your competitors??? They will just get fat thighs ; )

Once upon a time, in 1984, a woman named Rina Valan was frustrated about the limits placed on women in the business world and in their personal relationships. Back then, you literally had one choice: raise a family or have a career. In addition, if women complained of lack of pleasure with a partner, it was just assumed she was ‘frigid.’ Those choices were just not acceptable to Rina, and so her mission because clear to be that champion for the financial and personal well-being of women and their partners. With a $10,000 loan from her mother and drawing out all her cash advances on credit cards, in August 1984 Rina started Fantasia Home Parties in a small dusty warehouse in Elizabeth, NJ. She loved her 3 year old daughter so much that she could not bear to leave her with a sitter, so she took her to work every day. In the evenings would train new consultants so they could sell at home parties and be able to support their families AND be there to take care of them too. Today, Rina and her daughter, Emily, still work side by side. So 30 years later, Fantasia Home Parties stands as the pioneer and leader in romance home parties. As one of the founding member of CAHPA (Certified Adult Home Party Association), Fantasia continues to forge the trail and we make it possible for women to be equals in matters of the heart, personal pleasure, or providing income for themselves and family. Some of us do it in pink high heels or sneakers, some are single or married, some are single moms, or some of us are even taking care of own moms. With over 33 years of executive experience in the Home Party and Direct Selling business, her personal attention and real life experience is the backbone of our team. It is not unusual that she shares her working experience daily by coaching and with personal support with both new and experienced consultants.
