*Post edited for new wording. We no longer use 'creams'. Use the proper wording- Enhancement Products since Amp is a gel. It's suggested customers start with Boost and work their way up to O.*
Patty just released a video on the brand new enhancement products available in January. I know a lot of us are super excited to not only start selling them but trying them as well!
Here are my notes on the new products:
Our Pure Romance chemists have developed TriPlex Tingle which is Pure Romance exclusive. Currently our enhancement creams last about twenty minutes. These new products will last at least an hour......an HOUR!!! Each one is more intense than our current line and last much longer- AN HOUR!!! The sensation starts immediately then builds over time.
Boost- This one is best for first time users, even if they've already been using another enhancement product. It comes in a variety of flavors.
Pure- For our customers who are sensitive and/or are prone to infections this is the one for them. It contains no scents, dyes or flavors and is made from all natural oils.
O- This is the most powerful of the products. For women who are on medication that decreases their drive or for women who deal with low libido issues, this will definitely kick things into gear! O has the highest concentration of TriPlex Tingle and is also great for men.
Amp- Instead of a cream, this one is a gel. It's water based so it has a cleaner and lighter feeling. It starts working faster and has a more immediate sensation.
Get on the phone ladies and get those 2013 parties booked!!!

Mourning chickens.......and being thankful
I learned a very valuable lesson Friday night which my friend and sponsor Karey pointed out to me on our way home from my party. Never count your chickens before they're hatched. I'm still in mourning.
My hostess did everything right. She invited 70 guests, had 50 confirmed, had loads of amazing food (which I didn't get to try), decorated, had some awesome games, had 2 raffles and checked on all the confirmations. I made sure I had her and the other co-hostess's wish list items so they had them to take home that night. We were all pumped!
Twenty-three people attended. Of those, less than half placed an order. One thing I am grateful for is knowing that it wasn't due to my presentation because Karey was there and helped out a lot. Oh am I grateful for that!! This party was planned for over a month and was my second corporate lead. I was so excited because my first corporate lead party had 15 guests and was my first $1000 party. I did some quick caluclations and figured with 50 people it'd be about a $4000 party.
Oh the plans I had for that money!!!! What all I could do with $1200!!! We're super behind on my daughter's dance tuition so I was going to use some to catch up. My 15 year old and I want to go to the Twilight marathon on November 15th. Black Friday is coming up and I would actually be able to spend some money. I'd been wanting to do a sleep over with guests and consultants in a hotel and was looking up prices.
I brought Karey along because I wasn't sure I could handle a party with 50 guests. Just before the party started I walked over to her and said, "So much for the 50 guests." I feel bad that my friend and downline, Sue, had been so sick she couldn't come help like she was going to but was also glad because I'd have had to give her part of my profits for driving 40 minutes each way. As I stood at the table adding up the party total I was close to tears. Karey peered over my shoulder and said, "That's it?" I nodded. She told me to deal with it later and get with my hostesses to get their orders done.
$374 party. $148 in profit. $100 of that had to go to the website I co-founded because I'm this months business sponsor. I also owe a consultant product I borrowed and was banking on being able to order it all for her. Plus my biggest and best customer who has spent about $1000 with me since April was hosting a Tastefully Simple party to help her sister get started and I was obligated to purchase something.
I'd been so excited and talked about this HUGE party for weeks on our team page. The texts started coming in Sunday morning while I was packing up the family to come home from Parent's Weekend at my oldest daughter's college. I was so grateful it was that weekend because I really needed to have a big distraction. "OMG! How was your party?? I've been waiting to hear!" was, "It sucked ass." I handed my phone to my 15 year old and had her reply, "It sucked ass." (this earned a lovely expression from my husband LOL)
I used to get really excited when a hostess would tell me 15-20 girls were coming. After the 5th party with less than 10 I lowered my standards. I used to get excited when I'd walk away with 3-4 girls telling me they'd love to be a consultant. I have 3 in my downline and none do parties- they're just there to help me get my discount. I no longer get excited. But I'm sucking it up and reflecting back on what I've done for the women I've talked to.
It's November, the time for thanks. I am thankful for the amount of money I make from Pure Romance- every penny. It's a penny I wouldn't have if I hadn't signed up. I'm thankful for every hostess that opened up her home to me. Some were already my friends and some have become friends. I'm thankful for every guest that has walked through my hostess's doors. For a couple of hours they were able to get away from their normal daily routine, hang out with the girls, laugh, drink, eat and in many cases, walk away with products to make them feel better or to improve their relationships. I'm thankful for my Pure Romance sisters who are always there when I need them. I have three Facebook pages to go to in times of need and four sisters who I know I can text at any time even on their days off. I'm mostly thankful for my family who do a lot for me to have my business and never grumble when I have to miss important moments in their lives. My oldest daughter had her wisdom teeth pulled the day before I left to go to National Training. On our way up there my husband texted me asking for the doctor's number because his lymph node swelled up the size of a golf ball. Neither asked me not to go or to come home. My 15 year old never complained about having to take care of her older sister, her dad and her 2 younger siblings. The little kids were ecstatic to eat McDonald's, pizza and Chinese food for a week.
I learned a lot this weekend. On our way back from Parent's Weekend I was trying very hard to be thankful for what I had while still grumbling about my party. This morning, I woke up refreshed (probably due to eating whatever the hell I wanted this weekend and the nice extra large cocktail my husband brought me while I was soaking in my garden tub last night). I was ready to reflect, let things go (thank you to Patty for those pads of paper from NT!) and be thankful.
We have some pretty awesome parties. We have some ok parties. We have some really ass sucking parties. But we love our jobs and will continue to entertain, educate and empower women whenever we can.

My November Rain of sales
The Guns n Roses November Rain song just popped into my head. lol
Ok, ladies. I'm all about sharing and the holidays are coming which is a great opportunity to SHARE!
The biggest share is to share your business. At BJ's meeting on Sunday she encouraged us to look at sharing the business opportunity as a gift. Talk to Theresa at the carloop. Ask her if she'd like to earn some extra shopping money. Tell her you'd like to give her a gift and offer her the latest kit sale flyer. If you can, toss in the incentive of gaining $50 in free product if she signs up before the kit sale ends (or $75 or $100, whatever you can afford, or a specific product like a dual vibrator or 2 Coochy and 2 Body Dew, etc). Like with all gift giving, sometimes people will say "No." Don't take this personally. Give her your card and ask her to keep it just in case they ever change their mind. Also, ask her for her information so you can put her on your VIP list to receive monthly emails about sales, etc.
More sharing- of course you want to share the fabulous party side to your potential hostesses. Offer extra incentives- double hostess credits, free product, items at your discount, shipping deals, etc. I tell my hostesses that I create special sales just for their party and type it up so she and her guests can see what great deals they're getting that night.
Here's the big one! I'm excited to share this idea!! First, the one I stole from BJ is offering to wrap and send a note to the guests friend, mom, whoever for Christmas. You can let them know you'll wrap for free then mail it to their mom for them or send it to them if they'd like to personally deliver the gift. Keep all those little boxes from your shipments to keep hand delivered wrapped presents from getting torn or wrinkled. Second, I'm sitting down today and making up a calendar of sales. Some days will be half off shipping, lubes at a discount one day, c-rings at a discount another day, bath one day, etc. I'm putting the best deals in the beginning so not to tick off clients if they order on the 10% off day then see a 20% off day a week later. (The monthly calendar will not be posted, it's just for me to remember what sales I scheduled. You can preload posts on your Facebook page to go out on future dates- awesome feature!) I will have special Black Friday sales as well and will be encouraging everyone to make sure they keep their Smart Phone handy while they're out shopping so they can see the deals on my Facebook page.
DO WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD TO DO!!!!! Don't ever sell yourself short causing you to lose money.
If anyone else has ideas they'd like to share please post them below or on the FB page!!
Thanks so much for reading!
