Product Status Update (as of 12/31/10)

In the capable hands of our Vice President of Operations, Stacey Clark, we are proud of our record over the past couple of years of maintaining adequate product inventory levels and thus minimizing back order situations.  As we welcome in the New Year, I wanted to share the following product status with you. 

4 COMMITMENT CHARACTERISTICS

PURPOSE.  PERSPECTIVE.  PRAYER.  PERSISTENCE.

Achieving anything, and most especially success in a business venture, means being clear about setting goals and achieving them.  And, according to the John Maxwell Leadership Bible, it takes having these 4 commitment characteristics:  Purpose. Perspective. Prayer. Persistence. 

SOUL PURPOSE & SALONS COME TOGETHER



Our new SALON RECRUITING CAMPAIGN gives every Soul Purpose Entrepreneur the opportunity to grow your business by recruiting other businesseses.  The materials I've put together focus on the importance of the marketing to the niche market of Salons, Spas and Make-Up Artists by speaking their language:  ADDING VALUE FOR CUSTOMERS, INCREASING PROFITS AND BUILDING WEALTH BEYOND THE LIMITATIONS OF THEIR PASSIONS.

STEP 1:  Make Phone Calls.



The goal is to:

1.Find out who purchases the supplies?

2.If the stylists are renting booths? If so, now many are there?

3.Set up an ‘in person’ appointment to introduce Soul Purpose to Salon Owners and Stylists. 

STEP 2. Visit the Salon.

Be prepared to leave the Salon Information Pack along with an application, order form, a few samples (2-3 of each fragrance), 2-3 Prosperity maps, and a few Spatulas.  

The goal is to:  Sign them up or set up an appointment to do so. With the samples you’re leaving, encourage them to get an initial response to the product from their customers. 

STEP 3. Sign, Get First Order & Set the Launch Party Date

Be prepared to leave the Salon Information Pack along with an application, order form, a few samples (2-3 of each fragrance), 2-3 Prosperity maps, and a few Spatulas.  

STEP 4.  Fully Integrate Soul Purpose Into the Salon.

Have the products on display and available for use throughout the salon (i.e., the scrub, shower gel and candle in the restroom).  Use the lead boxes as well to get names of customers can leave their information.

STEP 5.  Schedule and Plan for Special Events

Events can coincide with holidays and special occasions like breast cancer month.  On the busiest day when customers might have a longer wait, have special services  for pampering the hands and feet.  Consider designating one evening (maybe your slower evening ) as  a happy hour…serve wine and cheese as a special treat.
