EP News

1. From Jenny Dawson - When STP for EP, keep it simple. Do not clutter or push and keep it low detail. Women are often very busy with many things going on so too much detail often clutters or confuses. If they wish to get started in the EP business then, at a later date you can go through things, such as the sliding scale and numbers. If it is kept simple then they can go and show it, straight away, to someone else, thus helping to grow your business quickly.
2. If a no is received from a STP, then try to turn it into a showcase. You may be surprised at where it leads you.
3. PATIENCE!!!
4. One of the reason for the back orders in EP is due to the high standards involved in the manufacture of the goods. They are picky on suppliers, wanting someone who can offer things like quality and pride in their workmanship and keep the pieces at an affordable price.
5. Good News! The company shall not be deducting payments in January, for kits not received/shipped in that month.

If you need those training notes or wish for a refresher night in showing the EP range, let either Tim or Judith know so it can be arranged.

EP News

1. rewards go on sales only, not kit purchase
2. Do SC's for those wishing to do the EP business. All of their profits go towards paying for their business starter kit but the PV is yours.

Training was great last night and for all of those who didn't go I shall aim to get my notes typed up and sent your way.

How to manage your EP profits - one suggestion

"As far as what to do with your retail profit, what I'm doing is all the profit will go towards paying of my kit asap then after the kits paid off I'll keep about 60 - 80% for myself and the rest can go back into the business to pay for petrol, catalogues, functions etc oh and of course new pieces of EP when they arrive. Your right, you and your family need to be rewarded occasionally. Sometimes you then sometimes your family."
