I absolutely love fashion, but for the last 3 ½ years my focus has been on making sure my daughter has been dressed to the nines and not so much myself.
That is until now…
This past June I received an invitation from a company called CAbi inviting me to view their Fall Fashion Show called The Scoop. CAbi, which stands for Carol Anderson by Invitation, is a direct sales company which offers women a home-based business opportunity in the fashion industry. Honestly, before receiving this invitation, I had never heard of the company and was curious to see what they were all about.
Approximately nine years ago Carol Anderson, a former designer for Nordstrom, decided to take her clothing line out of stores and create her own company which sells the line exclusively through their CAbi consultants via in home parties.
After viewing the spring collection online, and seeing the modern and stylish clothes, I was very eager to attend the event and learn more about the opportunity. This year’s Fall Scoop was held in Anaheim, California at the Convention Center, and upon arriving at the Hilton I could tell that The Scoop was a BIG deal! more

“Just be yourself. Everyone else is taken.” ~ Oscar Wilde
This is one of my favorite quotes. It’s also the answer to one of the greatest obstacles you’ll face as a direct seller – coming across as pushy. What I’ve found in my work with direct sellers as a coach and consultant is that they’re all passionate about their products and the experience they provide at their parties. But feeling passion and translating that into action are two different things. And because of the less than stellar reputation the party plan industry has with many people, actually opening up your mouth and sharing the opportunity to book a party can be a huge challenge.
That’s where being yourself comes in. I believe that the more authentic and honest you are, the more positive the response you get from others. It’s when you start to “put on” the sort of canned, cliché direct sales persona and language that you turn others off. The best part is, being yourself is easy…you’ve been practicing your entire life! And when you realize that, you stop feeling uncomfortable and pushy and start proactively offering the booking opportunity to everyone you meet! more

Yesterday I talked about my own personal experiences with bad and good customer service, and the impact that poor customer service has on your business. Often in our fast-paced world we forget about the little details that make our customers feel important. So I went out and asked some business savvy entrepreneurs how they give good customer service and here is what they had to say…
Deb Howard Greenleaf, EA Green Leaf Accounting
My #1 tip for giving good customer service is scheduling several holes in my daily schedule. I work on retainer for multiple clients. I start every day with a to-do list, but have at least two hours blocked out for emergency tasks. That way, if a client emails me, to send an invoice out to their customer or follow-up on a vendor issue, I can let them know that I’ll get it done before lunch or before the end of the day. On those days when I don’t get any emergency requests, I have time to tackle my long-term to-do list, like addressing the next month’s birthday cards to my clients or sitting through a professional development webinar. By not scheduling myself too tightly, I’m able to jump when they yell “help!” and provide them with great customer service. more
Poor Customer Service & How it Hurts Your Business

Customer service is the key to continued success in business…
Last week I was at the mall looking for a new pair of sandals, when I walked into a major department store and immediately found a pair of white, cork wedge sandal’s that I knew had to have. I picked up the sandal so that I could try it on in the correct size and continued to browse around. When I ran into the salesman, I smiled, held up the shoe and was about to ask if I could try it on, when he quickly diverted his eyes from me, and walked out from behind the counter and sat down in a chair.
Totally dumfounded by his actions, I walked around and again tried to get his attention, but instead he turned his head away from me and ignored me. By this time I was a little ticked off, and decided that there was no way in hell that he was going to make this commission off of my sale. I searched around the shoe department and finally found another salesman who graciously helped me out.
Since this incident I have I told numerous friends and family about the terrible customer service I received at this major department store. I just don’t get it. Perhaps this employee hated his job or didn’t have the proper customer service training; in any instance poor customer service drives away current and potential customers and is just plain bad for business. more
