Tina Leininger, Home Business Job Vendor

Ten year veteran, Tina Leininger of Longaberger, attends the home business job fair to show off her fabulous baskets.

Ten year veteran, Tina Leininger of Longaberger, attends the home business job fair to show off her fabulous baskets.

Leininger of Lebanon, PA found out about this particular event through a friend, who is also the coordinator. Otherwise, she usually finds out by networking at other events, CraftListers, and ads in merchandisers and newspapers.

With 7 members in her downline, Tina keeps them motivated through monthly meetings, regular email messages and challenges with incentives. Instant gratification [her paychecks] and the desire for the products by customers are a couple of the more important reasons for choosing this company. She also shares that one of her favorite aspects of her business is the friendships that she has made over the years.

When I asked Leininger approximately how much time she spends on her business, she proudly replied, “This is the beauty of the direct sales business, time varies to whatever you make it. When my children were younger, my time was usually one hour every other day. But, now that they are older I try for at least one hour everyday. If it is a day of a party or event, then of course more time is spent, but it is also planned. As a Branch Leader, I also set aside 1 day a month for 2 hours to plan m my meetings, incentives and update my knowledge of company issues.”

Tina responded that business cards – “because they hold the resource information of everything for me i.e. contact of me, contact of the company, and online reviewing and order of products” – would be her choice if she were only able to bring one thing to an event such as this one.

A few words of wisdom …
Always network, especially with other direct sales companies. We all have good ideas, suggestions and resources. We all have good days and bad days. Networking with others helps keep you and your business in line and conquers the ‘fear’ and ‘I can’t do this’ mentality.”

Bringing Prospects and Recruiters Together

Need more recruits? Looking for that perfect home business for you? The Daily Home Business Report helps recruiters and prospects meet more easily.

Anita DeFrank of MommysHelperOnline.com felt there was a need to make it easier for prospects and recruiters meet, hence the birth of the Daily Home Business Report. The DHBR is a report that will be sent out to prospects one business a day until they find the perfect business for them. Each section of the report will include a full business profile including full contact info of a representative that will be more than happy to answer any questions the prospect may have.

"With so many business opportunities available one can spend days or even weeks weeding through all the information [and scams] available online causing a bad case of information overload. Then on the other hand recruiters spend countless hours searching for those perfect recruits and more often than not coming up short. With the Daily Home Business Report, these wasted hours could be spent on more important aspects such as building your business and training your recruits. We're taking the searching part out saving both prospects and recruiters tons of time." says DeFrank.

The way the report works is this...
Recruiters will send DeFrank a full company profile including many frequently asked questions and full contact info. DeFrank will then set up an autoresponder for prospects to receive an email each day with a new business profile. Prospects will be able to sign up for the autoresponder at www.MommysHelperOnline.com, www.WahmStateDirectory.com, and www.DirectSalesHelpers.com to name just a few. DeFrank also plans to allow many other work at home resource website owners offer the DHBR to their visitors widening the range to nearly unlimited access.

To make it fair for each representative DeFrank is only allowing one rep per company submit their business profile and has it set up on first come first serve. DeFrank says, "I felt as though this was the only fair way to one not have representives "fighting" over the same prospect. The second reason was that the idea was to save time on the research. It's a waste of time to send more than one profile for one company and defeats the purpose of the time saving."

A few things to keep in mind about this report are...

• These profiles are exclusive. This means they will only accept one rep per company.
• Companies will be sent out on a first come first serve basis.
• Profiles will include your Direct Sales Company Name, Website, Email Address & FULL Description
• Adult companies are accepted however, keep in mind that it will be noted with adult companies that it is indeed "adult".
• The report editor holds the right to accept or not accept any listings for reasons.
• This is not going to be full of "ads". This will be full descriptions of various direct sales companies. Please be sure to state FACTS.
• Recruiters will be able to sign up to the autoresponder yourself to see exactly how they're sent out.

Dear Anita and Kara...

I wanted to let you know how much I like your new look at www.DirectSalesHelpers.com. It really highlights everything you have to offer! As I went through the site, I realized I was already involved in many of your services-so I thought I should send you a quick thank you to let you now how much you have helped me, and my business.

I purchased The Direct Sales Success Kit three months ago, and found it to have everything I needed to give me a sense of direction for my direct sales scrapbook business. You two also opened my eyes to the many options I have for building my business, both on and offline. You’ve really helped me step by step to where I feel confident about where I am taking my business.

Currently, I am using Kara’s book “Step by Step Guide to Starting Your First Website” to build my new site www.MomsOnlineRetreat.com , and I have also been able to configure my Consultant website with the book’s help as well. I’ve printed the material out and have it in a three-ring binder, always close at hand.

I have taken full advantage of my membership to the private DSH forums at Mommy’s Helper. I can’t thank you enough for all of the individualized help you have given me. It’s nice to have that personalized attention, and to feel that I have a source of information that I can trust.

I look forward, also, to receiving the Direct Sales Helpers News every week. The articles are often very thought provoking, and always informative. I have recommended it, as well as all of the services and products available at DirectSalesHelpers.com to my team, and would say to anyone who was looking for guidance in Direct Sales-this site has it ALL!

Thanks again for your continued guidance and support!

Pat Noll, Home Business Job Fair Vendor

In the top ten for the past six years, vision of success, Pat Noll attends home business job fair representing Heart Warming Creations.

It was certainly all my pleasure to speak with Mrs. Noll. Not that it wasn't wonderful to speak with each of the talented women at this event - but it was truly an honor speaking with someone who has been in the top 10 in the US for the past six years, featured in the company catalog time and time again, featured on the company website, and featured at numerous company functions - this women is truly what we can each view as a success story.

Noll from Millerstown, PA has been with Heart Warming Creations for almost 9 years. Having done similar events in the past, she found out about this particular even through the News-Sun paper. Pat normally finds out about other events such as these through this method and also via word of mouth from consultants at other events.

When asked why she chose Heart Warming Creations, Noll responded with, "I joined this company because there were NO consultants in our area, it was a fairly new company and no one heard of it. I thought that would be good. New merchandise to offer and I like these kinds of items. It was down my alley."

Currently with only 2 active downline members who live too far away for monthly meetings, Pat still makes sure she keeps in contact with them. Depending on the week and what all needs to be done, Noll works on her business full time at approximately 30 hours a week.

"Doing the parties and meeting new people, making new friends and sharing Heart Warming Creations with them [is her favorite aspect of this business]" Says Noll.

When asked if she could only bring one thing to this event, what would it be, Pat promptly responded with her catalogs. "I would have to say Catalogs, so people can see our merchandise and what we have to offer. I would also bring some samples of our items."

Noll shares her tip for events such as these...
I would say be yourself and be honest with the people you come in contact with ... and most of all have FUN in what you are doing.

Laurie Fischer, Home Business Job Fair Vendor

Active networker, Laurie Fischer, direct sales rep for Home & Garden Party of Litiz, PA attends Home Business Job Fair.

[Pictured with fellow Home & Garden Party Rep, Danielle Farmer (left)]

Finding out about this particular even was easy for Laurie since the coordinator emailed her. She now keeps a running list of all the vendors she comes in contact with so she can keep in contact and find out about upcoming events such as these. Knowing that networking is a very important tool to her direct sales business, Fishcher knew that attending a home business job fair would be a good choice.

In May of 2004 Laurie was asked by her sponsor about becoming an H&GP Designer and since she already loved to products she decided to give it a try. Now with over 18 members in her downline with the title of Diamond Designer and titled 2005 National Star, Fischer keeps her team motivated with meetings, workshops and phone calls. Laurie as sends cards to her members once a month just to say they are wonderful. She does this whether they're working or not ... just to keep up the encouragement. Her team does challenges and are in the beginning stages of doing a mentoring program with individual team members.

When I asked Laurie what her favorite aspect of her business was she replied with, "The people that I meet and the relationships that I have built." If Fischer was only allowed to bring one type of promotional item to the event, she would bring her hostess packects because all the products and opportunity info is in there.

Laurie shares some wise words of wisdom...
"I say when you do an event like this ... you can't sit behind your table ... you need to be out there talking to the people. If there is no one around or there is down time, go out and about and talk with the other vendors, or depending where you are, go around the hotel or facility and hand out your information. Just keep talking to the people."

Fischer is also very active in her community with other business women and a member of "Litiz Women in Business" - a group of professional women business owners committed to providing consistent superior service and quality that benefits both customers and community. They are a group of business owners and operators who have banded together for the good of the community and to help each other's businesses thrive.



A little more about Home & Garden Party ...

Home Decor and Accessories are the products carried.

H&GP do not have any territory restrictions.

They do not have a requirement to hold home paraties.

Designers can either earn or purchase promotional materials through the company.

Designers also have the opportunity to buy some of the promotional materials in bulk to really save. One way Laurie's team saves is buy buying materials in bulk and dividing up the costs making it very cost effective.

H&GP doesn't have any quotas nor have any requirement to keep inventory.

The company only offers a company website however, designers are able to create their own website if they choose.

Home & Garden Party pays for the hostesses free credits (they offer 20% free with every $100 in sales before tax and shipping) and consultants pay $2 for every half priced item. A hostess can get 1 half priced item/grouping for every $100 in sales. (The company pays the remaining.) HG&P also very generously pays $10 per booking gift and the consultant pays the remaining $5.

Shipping & Handling Costs are as follows:
$0 - $99 = $2
$10 - $19.99 = $3
$20 - $29.99 = $4
$30 - $39.99 = $5
$40 - $49.99 = $6
$50 - $74.99 = $8
$75 - $99.99 = $10
$100 & over = 10%

Delivery time is 2 - 3 weeks max but is always quicker than that. HG&P gets them out in a few days, and then it in the hands of Fed Ex. They do not offer dropshipping.

The commission structure is as follows:
The basic is 30% until you make your first $1500 in sales and then it goes to 40%. The commission level stays at 40%. You can basically do a $300 party and that night pay yourself $120 when you're at the 40% level.

Depending on which level consultants are on, they can pay themselves the commission of either 30% or 40% at the night of your poarty or the time of the sale. Sponsoring commissions are paid to you the 15th of the following month.

HG&P also offers designers many contests to earn bonuses and prizes as well as sponsoring bonuses when you reach certain levels in your career.

There is a $25 annual renewal fee.

Cash, personal check, Master Card, Visa, and Discover are the types of payments accepted with no minimum purchases.

The opportunity structure is as follows:
-->When you first start, you are a Designer in Training until you do your first $1500 in commissionable value sales.

-->After your first recruit you are a Master Designer.

-->Two recruits is a Silver Designer

-->Three recruits is a Gold Designer

-->Five recruits is a Half Carat Designer

-->Ten recruits earns you the Diamond Designer title
After that, there is a guideline for monthly team sales to earn the title of Infinity Designer and with that comes extra bonuses.

Home & Garden Party offers a very simple fundraising program.

This company offers you the choice of 4 different start up kits.
2 of the kits are $99 and they have over $200 worth of products, training and start up materials.
2 of the kits are $149 and have over $300 worth of products plus the training and start up materials such as catalogs, order forms, hostess forms, training manual, dvd's and much more.

They offer online training, telecourses, annual Rally, annual Spring trainings, team meetings, workshops, and much more to help train upcoming designers.

Taxes are simply handled by the customer paying the tax at the time of the sale and then the consultant pays it with the order.

HG&P does have a non-compete clause in place - you can not represent a competitor while you're representing HG&P.

This company also has a 30 day guarentee on all products as well as 1 year warranties on their pottery.

Designers Can advertise online.

Gwen Cleck, Home Business Job Fair Coordinator

Unlike your typical job fair or typical business expo, Gwen Cleck of Mifflintown, Pennsylvania coordinates successful Home Business Job Fair.

Having participated in quite a few events in the past Cleck knew what not to do and simply did the opposite in the organization of this fair. Setting the price seemed to be a little difficult. She wanted to make sure that the fee wasn't too high as to attract consultants but also be able to cover the costs involved with the event itself.

Cleck chose local newspapers, radio stations, online advertising and posted flyers in the area to bring attention to her event. Choosing the location for her event seemed to be one of the easiest decisions to make. Living in the area, she chose a venue that was well-known, inexpensive and easily accessible. The location was a fairly-sized room of the Clarion Inn, Lewistown, Pennsylvania. This location was super-easy to find and to access, having an on and off ramp to a major highway less than 1/2 mile away.

Already having a network of vendors that she often works with helped in finding the vendors for this event. "I also advertised on CraftLister.com and searched company websites looking for local representatives.” says Cleck.

Cleck says, "I don't think I'd change too much about how I organized this. I think the way I advertised seemed to work well and that's probably how I'll do it again in the future. I'm not sure that I would do a job fair exclusively. I think a sales event would work out better toward the Christmas season."

With the interest of many vendors at this event the plans of a "stop and shop" in early November are currently underway.

Cleck has been a representative of Country Bunny Bath & Body since March of 2002, falling in love with the products first and then falling in love with the company once she joined.

Gwen has at least 23 members in her downline that she keeps motivated via holding monthly organizational meetings, monthly training calls, monthly challenges and motivational emails. Her favorite aspect of her business is holding spa retreats and spends 8 - 10 hours a week with her business, depending on whether or not she's holding retreats or attending events.

When asked if there was only one thing she could bring to this event ... Cleck responded with "If there was only one thing, it'd definitely be my products to sample." She also shares the best tip she's ever gotten for direct sales ... "Talk, talk, talk to everyone and share your opportunity."
