Become a Stella & Dot Stylist!

-

Jessica Herrin, CEO & Founder of Stella & Dot as seen in Inc. Magazine

I just tuned into a Prospective Stylist Conference Call lead by the one and only, Jessica Herrin. Even as a Stylist of a year and a half, I am constantly finding out new information and feeling re-energized when I tune in. That is one of the great things about being a Stella & Dot Stylist: the constant availability of training and being lead by a leader that is present, approachable and motivating. I would like to be better at that for my team of 8 other Stylists.

I joined in a bit late for the call, but Jessica went into the available specials, available training, and answered questions from current and potential Stylists all across the country.

AVAILABLE SPECIALS
Besides the new, gorgeous Holiday Collection that was unveiled on October 1st, a few new pieces including jewelry, a scarf and wristlets that will benefit the Noreen Fraser Foundation with 100% of proceeds benefitting women cancers, not just breast cancer. We also have the Stella & Dot Foundation Bracelets and Charms that benefit non-profits such as Accion, Girls, Inc., and BuildOn. In November 2012, qualifying Stella & Dot Stylist will be selected to go to the Bronx in New York to makeover a school. All thanks to the sales of the Foundation Bracelets. Yes, it is a trip to win, but we also don’t mind getting dirty or hard work. Not only will you be Styling Your Life as a Stylist, you’ll also be part of a company that has good intentions and gives back.

AVAILABLE TRAININGS
Jessica answered the question of what makes a successful Stylist. She states that you do not have to be incredibly fashionable, knowing the latest runway looks or have a subscription to every fashion magazine out there, you just need to be friendly, love and be enthusiastic about what you do and basically share information. Seventy percent of Stylists have other jobs. I personally have 6 other job titles. Stylists are mothers, single mothers, doctors, nurses, teachers, to name a few professions. You do not need to have a sales or marketing background. Stella & Dot offers many flexible ways to learn and grow your business. There are DVDs, training guides, online videos, training conference calls with playback features if you cannot participate during the live session, in person meetings, boot camp sessions, our annual sales conference called HOOPLA, Facebook groups to learn and bounce ideas off of other Stylists, and local Directors and Sponsors that are available to meet with you one-on-one or chat over the phone. Does your current employer help you grow?

EXPANSION
Jessica answered the question of whether or not Stella &Dot will be expanding past jewelry and accessories. When I first started in May of 2011, Stella & Dot was only in the United States and Canada. Today, they are in the United Kingdom and Germany, WITH sights set on growing! Also, when I first started, Stella & Dot solely provided jewelry. They launched into handbags, iPad and iPhone cases, candles, and now scarves and wallets. Yes, Jessica says the line would like to expand past jewelry and accessories but it will be carefully and thoughtfully be selected and launched at the right time. Stella & Dot is still pretty small and it has so much potential for growth. Only .5% of women in North America have been styled by a Stella & Dot.

I can go on and on as to why I love being a Stella & Dot Stylist but in a nutshell, it has given another avenue for me to remain independent, to be able to help other women to also be independent and put smiles on their faces, to be just a touch more stylish, and I just love the compliments I get. I am more than happy to chat or meet with you about this great opportunity. Please feel free to email me with any questions or to set up a meeting.

Through October 31st, 2012, sign up at stelladot.com/Bernadette and get $100 more in free jewelry plus an unlimited amount at 50% off to start your business and samples that you can wear and share.

The Bad Girls Club & Love Games, Sarah Michaels, IS the Wellness Shot!

I became a fan of the Bad Girls Club when a Season 3 marathon was airing (in 2008, is it?) and I just had the television on while I was doing chores around the house. Every now and then I’d hear “*BEEP* you, you *BEEP*ing *BEEP*!”, some screaming and “This is the Amber Show” do-do-do-do-do-Doo! Eventually I was glued to the screen and not doing chores anymore and spent most of the day laughing and thinking “ohnoshedidn’t!” They were NUTS! I don’t think I could live my life with a camera following me around and for the whole world to see and criticize. But I kept on watching and when fights broke out, my boyfriend would hear the screaming from another room and ask “WHAT are you watching?!?” I am not one for reality television. MTV had it with The Real World with Pedro, Puck, Pam and whoever… when it was in San Francisco. (GO GIANTS!) With all these Big Brother, The Bachelorette and other shows popping up, there were just too many to pick and choose from to watch. And I was never a

My Most Engaging Post Yet

Christmas is just days away. A storm in the Bay Area has passed. Two holiday parties were a success. But these past 18 hours have been a whirlwind for sure. Yesterday evening, after dinner, in our home office discussing the home we are in process of purchasing, holding a gray box from The Shane Company , my boyfriend (wearing a black long sleeved shirt and his Adidas pants with white paint stains from painting the condo earlier this year, and I in jeans, my Toby Keith blue tank top from his Las Vegas “ I Love This Bar ” restaurant, my blue SFSU zipper up sweatshirt, and my brown childhood blanket draped over my lap) got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. “Yeah.” I hugged him tight and kissed him repeatedly. He was shaking and said “I can’t believe you said ‘yes.” I couldn’t stop smiling and crying and saying “I love you.” And I couldn’t help but laugh when I called him my fiancé for the first time. Wow, we’re really engaged! Since we were in the process of negotiati

It's Gonna Be May

I'm sure you've seen it. If you have a friend named May, the *Nsync memes are overtaking your Facebook and Instagram feed, right? Tomorrow ends the month of April and I was 10 posts behind the daily blog post challenge. For this Monday Motivation post, I will keep going until I reach that 30 count. Better late than never! May is turning out to be a busy month. Not surprising for this One Busy Bee. I finally have a set schedule for my part time job as a Concierge at the Argonaut Hotel at Fisherman's Wharf. I really do like the job, what I'm doing, the hotel and staff, and how the time spent here contributes to my experience in the travel and tourism industry, all the while continuing in the hospitality industry as well. Working only about 30 hours a week, it will finally allow me to schedule workouts, get in some sort of sleeping pattern and work on my business as a Travel Agent . There is so much to do! So far since I received the month's work schedule
