GET THE LOOK FROM BEAUTICONTROL GLAM

I LOVE LOVE LOVE glamour!  I'm not a big Academy Award fan but I do love watching the Red Carpet event where everyone is all dressed up.   Sandra Bullock and Jennifer Hudson got my votes for their fabulous red gowns this year!  How about you?
  Over the past few months I've found myself wearing more makeup again--partially because I am getting older and there has been a change in my coloring and skin tone; and probably because I really needed a pick-me-up.  In fact, I went back to my natural hair color (which was a crazy shock to my system), but I've received so many compliments on it I guess I'll stick with it for awhile.  Yea, that picture above is me with my natural brown hair color.  I'm blessed not to have a ton of gray so I should only have to "pull out a bottle" every 3 months or so!
  Anyway, glamour is back BIG TIME and that will be our focus with BeautiControl over the next two months.  March team rally we'll be pulling out makeup so come get an update!  I'm labeling March as GET THE LOOK by scheduling BC Facial/Glam spa with 3 friends.  I'm taking out the relaxation segment to focus on the face because a huge part of my reorder business is here.  You can learn how to do a Facial/Glam spa by bringing a couple of friends to my home for Spa with Julie guest nights on the 14th and 21st. 
  Order some of the new lip liners, lip glosses and shimmer shadows.  Play with them yourself.  And remember, if you want to sell makeup, you need to wear makeup!   There is a big reorder business in makeup. 
  AND, mark your calendars for Sat., April 2 from 5:30 - 7:30 at the Briarwood Golf & Country Club for a LITTLE BLACK DRESS event with other directors in our area.  Wine & drinks, hors douvres, and an opportunity to bring guests to get makeovers.   More details on beautinet under EVENTS.

BC On the Lips of Every Woman

  The temperatures are dropping in Des Moines, Iowa; but inside my home Monday evening it was warm and cozy and we weren't thinking about cold.  I had to squeak through this one with a 3-day bout of laryngitis, but  I always enjoy our team rally.   It's a great time to connect with many of you; for you to connect with each other; to recognize those who are out there doing spas and blessing their families; and just plain fun.
  Last night was no exception.   It was awesome to hear from new VIP, Jenny Buschbom who started in July but just decided in December to jumpstart her business and start doing spas.  Jenny is actually from the Hendricks team (our sister director in Sioux City), and she had over $2600 in sales in January PLUS 3 new team members so she became a VIP.
   We got to spin the "wheel of fortune" and gave away money for those who did spas; we gave away some gifts, we talked about how to sensor friends, family & everyone we know to get BC Spa Facial on the lips of every woman.   And we also talked about sales, and the stigma that many of us have in our brains that selling is annoying or bad.  What great discussion about how selling is influencing; how it's persuasive communication and something we do everyday.  If you want to learn more a magazine and blog that has helped me tremendously in this business is http://www.success.com/ and/or you can read my outline on sales on our team website: http://www.wiemanndreamteam.com/ where we learned about dealing with the roadblocks in our "inner voice" like fear and lack of self-esteem.
  We ended the night sampling new lip liners and lip glosses and SVIP Debbie Longseth showed us different ways to mix colors.   Then we all decorated lip cookies, and everyone put their own personalities into them!  Even dental hygienist Carolyn DeHoogh had to put teeth on hers! 
  TEAM CHALLENGE FOR FEBRUARY is posted on our team website.   In the next few months I'll be looking for our next Wiemann team director - who will it be? Who wants to take the challenge to build a team and to earn director-level income.   Will it be you?  If you want to get on the Road to Director let me know and I can show you the simple action plan.  JULIE
