There are a couple of smaller pieces that I like, but the bulk of it I can't see myself wearing. I figure this matters in case I fail miserably and am left with the jewelry. The starter set costs $149 for $1000 worth of jewelry but if I only want pieces totaling less than $149, not worth it.
Also if I really wanted to make a go of it, I'd need to be starting now to get my first five weeks off to a good start. Since training for my half takes up most of my kidfree time right now, I think it's time to put the plan on pause.

Depending on how much I like the next new catalog I may consider it come February, but next fall would be better when Little Man will be in Kindergarten. I'll have a lot more kid free time and could even offer daytime parties in some cases.
Until then I will continue to follow a couple of advisors who seem successful selling online and will get one of them to include me in one of their Facebook parties so I can see how that really works. I'm still skeptical that the online option actually works, but at the same time I can see how it work for people like me who can't always get out due to husband/kid schedules.
I did order a couple of new pieces from the new catalog and will hold off on the rest until I get some awesome offer.
Have you seen the 2014 Spring/Summer lia sophia Catalog yet? It is great. I am an advisor and I love your tips for hostesses. I started doing selling cause I love the jewelry. I think there are many nontraditional advisors. You may be quite surprised.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm glad you liked the post. It has been pretty popular on Pinterest.
ReplyDeleteI do like the new catalog and have a few items on my wish list already, but I have to say I was underwhelmed with the new starter set. The pieces I like I already have and the rest I'm not that excited about. Maybe in the fall - the timing would work out better for me then anyway.
Until then I am following a few advisors on Facebook (including you) to learn some of the sales tactics they use. I'm "attending" my first Facebook party tonight. Curious to see how they really work.
