Getting Started Organizational Tips

Schedule and hold a show in your home to announce the grand opening of your new business.

Book parties for your first three weeks of business.

Create a voice mail greeting on all your phones to announce you are an Independent Consultant with Thirty One Gifts. This is so much better than a generic message. Prospective hostesses, teammates, and customers will just feel more comfortable leaving a message for you when they hear your voice and know they’ve reached the correct number.

Set up a separate checking account/credit card for your business. I can’t stress enough how much easier this will be for you in keeping accurate records, especially when it comes to tax time.

Listen and participate in all training calls, meetings, etc. offered by both your upline and the company!

Consider purchasing a small file cabinet or crate for your show and consultant records, as well as hanging folders. It’s a good idea to help keep your business organized and make things easier for you.

Utilize the Party Costs and Profits Worksheet to help keep track of your income/expenses.

Keep lots of postage on hand for mailing out your hostess’ invitations. I can’t stress enough that you do this yourself, so you know, in fact, that they were mailed out!
