OH-M-YOUNIQUE!  What a day we had!

So today was INSANE for my team and for me personally!  I have added 4 Presenters to my first generation in the last 24 hours.  The 100 No's Challenge is really doing AMAZING things for my team.  So many people are using the tool to grow their teams and the numbers are showing!

Lots of my lovelies struggle with stepping outside their comfort zone to talk with people about YOUNIQUE.  So I made THIS VIDEO in hopes that it would encourage them!  ENJOY! 

#PEWPEW


When October closed we had 616 Presenters.  As of THIS MOMENT we are up to 1213!  CRAZY RIGHT?  We are also at approx $280k in wholesale sales!  On track to make $300k this month for the company!  WOWZA!

Total Younique Presenters: 4,977 (1,667 in November). Almost halfway to our Race to 10K Presenters. November new Presenters will be over 2,000 by the time the month is over. That’s exponential growth if I've ever seen it! The waves are coming and those of you in the water already better get ready to ride!

November Sales are booming! I mean, seriously booming. We are already over 1.4 million in sales this month and November will be 100% growth in a single month. That’s right, I fully expect us to double what we did in October at the pace we are on right now. That just doesn’t happen very often in business but you’re doing it!


Today we announced our first ever Presenter to hit BLACK STATUS and that is Debi Jackson!  I had the pleasure of meeting Debi in person at Convention last year and we have a friendly little rivalry going.  Well I'M FRIENDLY... SHE IS JUST MEAN!  JK!  She is awesome!  We snapped photos of us stabbing each other with knives and forks so it has sorta carried on.  Im excited for her!  Debi qualified to receive a $10k bonus this month because she was one of the first 10 Presenters to reach Black before we have 10k Presenters!  AMAZING!  So, congrats to my fellow Ysister Debi!  LIVING THE BEACH MONEY DREAM!!

It's growing and it's growing in cement......
 
Sometimes its the little things that make a BIG difference.....
 
I just want to share because it just happened again.  Now that my downline is getting so large and so spread out (up to 1148 Presenters now), about once a week or so I receive an email or PM from someone deep in my DL from someone I don't even know. 
 
There seems to be a similar underlying tone to these messages.  It is that "Younique is making a difference".
 
Ive shared my feelings about these notes I receive, with my husband and my close friends.  The first time someone reached out with their comments, I thought it was thoughtful and sweet.  I was happy things were working for them.  Now that it is happening all the time, I am placing a different value on the messages and I'm seeing what a huge impact Younique is having in the lives of these families.
 
At Younique, we are paid every single day for any royalties earned that day.  So, there is no waiting for a check to come after a party closes or payday every two weeks etc.  Money is directly deposited into our PayQuicker accounts and we have instant access with our Younique debit cards.  Obviously this is great right?  Who doesn't like a little cash in their pocket everyday? 
 
Although most Direct Sales companies collect money from their customers instantly, they will often hold onto that money until a party closes before they pay their Consultants.  Or even WORSE, some companies hold it for an entire MONTH or longer.  Why would they do that do you suppose?  If you have a financial background, you can imagine why they may choose to operate this way.  Leveraging their finances before paying their people.  It is a common occurance at every level of Corporate America.  Using their Consultants earnings and customer payments for additional gains.
 
At Younique, you are instantly paid for the work you've done.  What I am learning, is that this little perk that Younique offers, is being perceived as a life saver for many people that are struggling financially right now. 
 
The messages I am receiving are touching, inspiring and they are having an impact on me personally.  They have highlighted a value added feature of this amazing company that I think is often over looked or taken for granted and it goes hand in hand with how I feel this company operates from a place of positive ethics. 
 
This offering by our company has literally meant gas money, food money, milk money or diapers for many women on my team.  It has meant the difference of someone being able to pay rent or in one recent testimony, being paid that evening has meant she had money for formula the next day for her baby.  If she needs money, she does her job, works hard, sells, and is fairly and immediately compensated for her efforts.  Younique is helping many families 'get by' right now while things are difficult. 
 
Make no mistake, treat YOUNIQUE like a hobby and you will earn like it's a hobby.  Treat it like a business/job, you will earn a fair wage.  Eventually, you will earn a wage that is BEYOND "fair".  I earned $5k in October.  I feel that is more than fair for the effort I put into my business last month.
 
There is no doubt that Network Marketing is providing an opportunity for people who are looking for a way to earn money but cannot, or chose not to enter the traditional work force.  There is no doubt that if you made a list of potential NWM Companies to join, did a pros and cons of each, that Younique would come out a clear winner.
 
Every day my commitment to, and appreciation for YOUNIQUE and my respect for the FOUNDERS is growing brighter, greener and richer. 
It's growing and its growing in cement.
 
 



If you know someone who might benefit from this compensation model.  I would love to speak with them.  Please reach out by clicking here.  I would love for you to share my blog with them as well.

WHOA NELLY!  455 new Presenters in 20 days!  Over $200k in Company Wholesales!  WHAT THE WHAT!?  Yep!  That just happened!  My team is at 1071 Presenters as of this moment.  That is MOMENTUM BABY!

Can I just share how much I LOVE YOUNIQUE right now?  For example, I am working my biz from 30,000 feet in the air via Alaska Airlines and their GOGO wifi.  Since Younique is internet based, I don't need to be on the ground and doing parties people!  I can do them from ANYWHERE!  I.N L.O.V.E!

On my flight from LV to PDX I worked on our new product training manual and our New Presenter Guide.  Im hopeful that they will be completed this week so I can get this awesome tool in the hands of my awesome Presenters!

It was a busy day for our group.  Lots of action today!

This was a little video clip I sent to my DL.  We are working on the 100 No's Challenge.  Using that thought process to build out teams!  Its been such a great tool.  I started a group on FB about it and MANY seem to be getting something out of it so Im super excited about that!

BIG! HUGE! GIGANTIC NEWS!
 
 
 
 
Today my Company hit 1000!
 
 
Yeah, to say I'm FREAKING out would be an understatement!  Earlier today my Company Downline hit 1,000! 
As of this very moment we are actually at 1,009! 
That means the AMAZING women and men on my team have added 393 new Presenters to my Company in just 18 days!  I can't even begin to tell you how huge that is for me personally.  It was a personal goal of mine (that I HOPED to hit in January of 2014) and Im just so FREAKIN' EXCITED! 
So what is the second thing I did? You know the FIRST thing I did was post it all over FB!  The SECOND thing I did was call my Mommy!  She is so supportive!  The best mom EVER!  Shows up at my events and it doesn't matter if Im 4 or 44!  She is there!  My own personal cheering section!  Hey?  Have you met my momma?  Here she is!  Her name is Patti.
 


I LOVE YOU MOM!
 
ALSO!  We are on track to sell $200k in Company WHOLESALES in November!  This is HUGE!  My people are AMAZING!
 
 
During my flight to LV yesterday, I had a long layover in Seattle, so I set up a meeting with some of the YPresenters in my DL that live in the area (CHA-CHING Tax deduction! whoop whoop). 
And you KNOW this girl loves a THEME!  So, UGLY TEDDY BEAR SWEATER it was! 
Theme was chosen and this weekend I was OFF to find the most hideously awesome teddy bear sweatshirt or sweater I could! 
'Nobody puts Baby in a corner!'
 
 I'm sure you are wondering how that went?  NOTHING!  NO WHERE!  NOT A SINGLE THING!  UGH!  I was freaking out!  How could I show up to my own event out of character!?  Why would I want to?  It was a travesty!  The local thrift stores in Anchorage really let me down this week!  I should have called my sister and brought in the BIG GUNS!  She is the SCORE-DORABLE Queen of the world!
So, I improvised!  Now, if you've read any of my past blogs, you KNOW I have a stock of mumu's.  I had some safety pins and of course I had a box of ORIGINAL Beanie Babies in the closet (WHAT!?  They are totally gonna make me rich someday! pft! Whatever!  Good thing I have Younique for that!) so the teddy bear mumu plan was hatched! I MacGyvered something FANTASTIC!
 
This is me taking a selfie in the mirror in the women's bathroom at SEATAC yesterday.... I strutted my cookies through the Seattle airport in this get up!  WITH PRIDE EVEN!  Challanging lookers on to question me and open the door to a YOUNIQUE smackdown! 
I'm looking back and shaking my head at  my own self right now! 
How and why do I come up with this stuff?
Oh that's right... CAUSE ITS AWESOME! 
If there ever comes a day I say "I'm not in the mood for a costume... or a theme"  Then Y'all better grab your coats cause HELL IS ABOUT TO BE FREEZIN' OVER!
 I'm committed.
Or I need to be...to an institution. 
I'm pretty sure I smelled like pee. No clue why! I wash and wear this mumu often (yes! OFTEN) so I know it was clean.  Do you just sorta automatically smell like pee when you wear one?  I was just so confused about where the pee smell was coming from! The mumu was VERY hot (as in sweating not as in "LOOKIN' HOT"), the pee smell kept getting worse..... I only lasted about an hour and had to take it off. 
Oh yeah and of course I chose a table under the big screen and it was Football Sunday!  Even if no one was staring, it sure felt like they were!
I crack myself up!
 
 
 
Now to end today's BLOG POST with a FUNNY!  I'm seriously STILL LAUGHING about this.  You kinda had to be there I guess but imagine if you will......


 

 

 
So, on my flight from SEA to LAS VEGAS (whoot whoot) yesterday, this guy was in the seat next to me.  My seat mate!   I was fascinated by him the entire flight. 
To clarify....YES, that is a sleep mask!  And, YES, those are legit COKE BOTTLE GLASSES!  And, YES, that is him "reading" his Kindle!  WHAT THE WHAT?! 
Crazy right? 
AND!  That "smirk" on his face?  Um... yeah... that was PERMANENTLY there the entire flight!  I think it was some kind of "condition".  I could not for the life of me figure it out!  Side note... he LITERALLY checked his watch every 3 minutes.  I TIMED HIM!  Like 3 minutes ON THE DOT!  Oh, and did I mention he was totally deaf?  So the Flight Attendant would lean over me and SCREAM at him so he could hear her offerings!  At first I was like "SERIOUSLY DUDE"?  But by the end of the flight I was all like "BLESS HIS LITTLE HEART".  Cracked me UP!  I was all worried about how I was going to sneak a photo of him but CLEARLY that wasn't going to be an issue. 

Needless to say I did NOT share my Younique business and gift opportunity with the kind Gent.  I wasn't in the mood to yell and whatnot.  Hope I didn't miss some amazing boat with that judgement call!
I can't stop thinking about how crazy this dude was and how he was making NO SENSE to me what so ever!  As I giggle about it now and think to myself "what a wacko".... I'm reminded that I just got done typing about how I was wearing a mumu, covered in bears and smelling like pee only moments before I sat down next to this guy... who's the crazy one now?
 
My poor children.....

I'M WIGGIN' OUT!  ROCKTOBER numbers are in and yeah....they totally ROCK!

Proud to say I was in the top 5 earners of Younique for the month of October.

Ive been KILLING myself trying to get my updated growth chart to load but I'm clearly not smart enough.  I will work on that another day!

But here is a snazzy tid bit.  We closed the month of September with 264 Presenters.  We eded October with 616!  As of right this minute.... we have 728!  My team has added 112 Presenters in 5 days!

So, this blog entry didn't end up being all I thought it would be.  I promist to do better once I figure out the chart issue I am having!

In the meantime, for your viewing pleasure... some clips from our team meeting last night.  It was a wig theme!  Cause you KNOW I love a theme! 
Love AMANDA!  She is my dear friend and was the very first person to join my crazy train!  Forever thankful to her for her support and brilliance!

A few of my crazy gals.  Mostly from Amanda's Company!


Giving away goodies!

Christie is under the same upline as I am (Nichole) but on a different team.  We are friends though and friends support friends in this biz!  It was Christies VP that got me hooked on YOUNIQUE!

The elusive purple bling pen!  Those crazy little trinkets are worth their weight in GOLD!  Everyone wants one!


Briana was with us in spirit and sent this text of her "mullet wig" awesome-ness!  She lives in Texas!  So sweet of her right?  I might have nightmares but still!  Thought that counts!
 
SILLY GIRLS!

~ This morning I had what I thought was a brilliant idea.....

If you've never done a show or home party, (or even if you have and you just want to grow) I would encourage you to apprentice with someone you know that is awesome and SUCCESSFUL and that has a similar style/personality as your own.

Obviously it would seem to be ideal to do this with Someone from your upline or downline.  However, if that isn't available, try working with a Rep from another DS company. I mean, why not right?!  Be a helpful and engaging fly on the wall, offer your support and services for free in exchange for picking their brain and using their ideas and adapting them to fit your vision of your biz! 

Pay careful attention to what seems to work for them and pay even MORE ATTENTION to what Doesn't seem to be working!  Make note of what you would improve/change or do different. You would be donating several hours of your time but the payback would be well worth it! There is a reason that corporate America values this type of teacher/student experience.  Its not just to get free labor out of someone!

 In fact, I don't see how this could be a bad thing for any of us!  It would be difficult for you to convince me that this type of activity would be a waste of time no matter how good you think you are or how huge your DS business already is.

 I've done hundreds of shows/events over the years but what is running through my mind right now is that I should choose a successful person from another DS company that isn't a competitive product and apprentice for them. This would mean I would have 4-6 hours of quality time with someone who is already successful and who knows, maybe I could recruit them right?  Worst case scenerio I would be learning from someone who is clearly awesome.  Best case, that clearly awesome person would think I was awesome and that the YOUNIQUE opportunity is also awesome and they would join my team!  There are several people on my team right now that were already doing well with their current Network Market biz and are a huge asset to my team.  They already have relationships established and an instant customer base. 

NEVER STOP LEARNING, ABSORBING, GROWING! your ideas aren't the only good ones right?
