How are you planning for 2010 in terms of meeting your mark selling goals?  Can you share any of your tips with other mark Reps that help you manage and grow your business?

Chloe Garcia, Trendspotter
2010 will be a good year to progress my sales! I plan on coordinating more mark parties for friends and family. Participating as a Trendspotter has taught me to focus on my skills and passions and apply them to my business. For example, I have decided to incorporate my baking skills and throw a combined mark and baking party. I will have potluck baking parties so that my friends can show off their favorite recipes and I can introduce them to some great mark products. I recommend a potluck since it is a fun and inexpensive way to have everyone join in the festivities, while you can concentrate on selling mark products. Before you start pitching, it is wise to be aware of your product. Read the Sneak Peek and Magalog and confidently explain the items to your customers so that they feel comfortable purchasing an item.

In addition to knowing your products, know your customer. It’s great for business when you have returning customers. Before the New Year, I’m always super busy with work, parties, shopping and more and so my resolution is to be more organized! A great way to keep your business organized is to log your customer orders. Create a spreadsheet with their personal information, the products they ordered and when they ordered. You will know when they need to refill and you can tell them about new products you think they might like.

Hope these tips help you and your business in the New Year! Good luck!

Hey mark girls!

This season is all about plum and wine colors. I’m stocking up on plum and wine colored eye shadows, liners, shirts, and dresses. The wear with all mini dress looks perfect with dark leggings and heels for a holiday party–you can dress it up or down for any holiday look. The super flip color kit is great for wearing to holiday parties, or having your own mark holiday party. The 9 eyeshadows and 9 lip glosses are perfect for the holiday season, and your customers will be sure to love the variety and the price.

I am so looking forward to the holidays this year since this is a very special year. I recently moved into a real grown up apartment and my fiance and I are excited to have all our friends over for a holiday party. Like all my holiday parties, there will be cookies, drinks and take aways. This year I will be sure to include some of mark’s best products. Every woman needs some sparkle around the holidays and my goodie bag will be filled with such radiant products as the mark Crystal Shimmer Luminous Loose Powder, it’s a festive go-to for any holiday event. Need a small evening bag? Check out mark Sophistique Wristlet, trendy, chic and goes with any holiday outfit.
Every time I go out, I tend to carry around a small bag such as the mark Sophistique Wristlet, but I can hardly fit my lip gloss; not a problem with the mark Holiday Treats Mini Juice Gems Squeeze On Lip Gloss. Now I can party the night away and look fabulous doing it. =)
