Congratulations, you have come to the right place. I am going to share with you on what it takes to be successful in your new venture and how to leverage on the modern cutting edge technology to expand your business without the needing to learn all the know-how of the high tech tools.

  Brief History

  Lia Sophia operates as a fashion jewelry company and was founded in 1972 as Act II Jewelry, LLC and changed its name to Lady Remington in 1986 after being purchased by Victor Kiam. Further on, the company changed its name to Lia Sophia, which is a family owned business based in Bensenville, Illinois.

  Product

  The Jewelry from Lia Sophia includes gold, silver and mixed metal range of Bracelets, Necklaces, Earrings, Pendants, Rings; all with unique designs and suitable for different occasion from office to casual to evening. The jewelries are reasonably priced and comes with a Lifetime replacement Warranty.

  Lia Sophia Marketing Strategy

  Lia Sophia focus on the Party Plan to market their product which means that you will be encouraged to host a party in your home or join a party as an advisor to promote and sell the jewelry. Through these parties, the guests would be able to see and feel the jewelry before ordering for it; also from the party, you get referrals or booking to host a show.

  Compensation

  As a hostess, you receive 20 percent of show sales in jewelry credit with a $250 minimum per show. You can also earn 40 percent of your show sales in credit for an additional $15 when you have 10 orders and 2 bookings. Hostesses also receive 2 half price items and 4 bonus price items.

  Lia Sophia Advisors are part of a Multi-Level Compensation plan with payout in the form of cash bonuses, monthly, quarterly and annual recognition, free jewelry and vacation trips. An Advisor makes about 30 percent of profit from the selling price and additional 10 percent if you become a manager.

  What it takes to be successful?

  If you are planning to make a living from Lia Sophia, you will need to join as an advisor to make some comfortable income. You can also build your own team of advisors by becoming a manager and teach them the skills for selling the Lia Sophia Jewelries. This way you make a higher percentage of the profit by assisting others to be successful.

  Before becoming a successful Advisor or manager, there are marketing and leadership skills, which needs to be learned, and unfortunately Lia Sophia does not provide an affective training system to help you succeed in this information age.

  One of the most important strategies in this industry is to market yourself and your unique values. This differentiates you from your fellow advisors and positions you as a valuable distributor. If your up-line only coaches you with traditional marketing methods such as speaking to friends and neighbors or buying leads, you had better re-think if you are in the right organization. This strategy will mostly lead to failure as only about 3% of network marketers succeed with this traditional method.

  Commitment Required

  You should instead, make a commitment today to learn about the business and get the best MLM Marketing Training to be a valuable marketer. Adopt cutting-edge marketing tools like Internet Marketing by opening your business to the world and explode the sales volume that your business needs to thrive.

  This article will show you how to recruit and retail effectively in PartyLite in this Information Age. If you have just joined PartyLite or are thinking of joining them, then you could be wondering how to be profitable in the shortest time possible. Apart from the joining fee, you will need to buy some inventories as demonstration kit or to be given as free samples to your prospects, you might also need to spend time to organize home parties, inviting friends and neighbors. How can you recuperate these investment and time as quickly as possible, so that you can continue to build this home business and achieve the financial target that you have set?

  This article together with some suggested links at the end of the article will help you to make an informed decision and the steps you will need to take to convert your investment into profit at the shortest time.

  Home Parties

  When you first join PartyLite, your upline sponsor will probably ask you to organize some home parties and invite your friends and neighbors to view the product demonstrations and to experience the different scents of the candles. You faithfully do as told, however you find that your friends and neighbors rejected your invitation with some excuses. This is one of the common mistakes that new distributors make. Instead of asking them directly if they would like to join your party, you should start from a non-business related topic and work your way through the conversation. One example is you can start from a problem that you were facing and how you have found a solution with a PartyLite product, a simple real life story or testimony conveys more power in your invitation. It also creates curiosity their part to want to find out more about the product.

  How to Get Leads

  Next you would probably wonder if you can have enough friends and neighbor to invite for your future parties, after all you cannot keep inviting same people to all your parties. Of course you can but you will eventually need to look for green pastures.

  One-way is to ask for referrals from those who attended the party, whether they bought something or not. But bare in mind that the results for referrals will depend on the incentives given to the referring party or that the product is really desirable.

  Another lead generation strategy is to go online; Internet marketing is the fastest and the most effective strategy that opens up your network potential. In 2009, there were 260 million Internet users in US and 765 million users in Asia. Can you imagine getting leads from a pool of 1.8 billion Internet users? This is mind blowing.

  How to Generate Cashflow

  While you are marketing for your PartyLite business, how can you ensure that you can make profit at the shortest possible time? If you are taking my suggestion to use Internet to market your business, while you are generation leads online, you can also promote some affiliated products, which are useful to improve their business. From the sale of these products, you get paid commissions that cover your initial cost of starting up your business. You can also use it as your marketing budget to generate more leads and business.

  Both Online and Traditional Marketing Strategies are not in conflict, they can be used simultaneously and are many times more powerful and effectively when used together. To build a home business successfully, other than working hard, we will also need to work smart to leverage on the technologies available.

  If you are serious to learn the online marketing strategy that can help you improve your PartyLite business immediately, put your name and contact information below and you will receive the step-by-step marketing blueprint that will help you to achieve your financial goals in the fast track.

• Longaberger, Handcrafted Basket Home Business

  Date: 2010.04.20 | Category: Company Review | Response: 3

  Longaberger Company is one of the rare Direct Selling Company that sells handcrafted baskets and specialty pottery dinnerware.

  This family business began from the rich family history starting with Dave’s Father, J.W. Longaberger when he took a job with the Dreseden Basket Factory in 1919, where he learned the fine art of crafting basket bottoms and weaving baskets tight and precise, which eventually became the trademark for Longaberger’s basket.

  In 1976 Dave opened J.W. Handwoven Baskets in honor of his father. He even bought the old woolen mill that his mother worked in when he was a child to use as the factory for his business. He first began selling these baskets through retail shops. However two years later, he realized that the best method for selling these baskets was through home shows, where a consultant would be present to demonstrate the Longaberger baskets and explains the craftsmanship of each basket, from these parties, the consultant will book more shows through the guests or their referrals. Hence the direct sales organization of Longaberger baskets was born.

  Although very few have believed in his business, Dave persisted and made his dream come true. The Longaberger Company has more than 45,000 consultants in US working to realize their own financial dreams.

  The company had continued to stay true to their original mission statement, “To Stimulate a Better Quality of Life”.

  Dave’s daughter Tami joined the business in 1984 and proved herself to be an excellent leader and was later appointed president on Longaberger. She has helped diversified the company into other home lifestyle areas to include complete line of Pottery, colorful fabrics accessories, wrought iron pieces, liners and protectors for their baskets.

  Longaberger works slightly different from most network marketing companies. When you sign up through their website, a consultant in your area will contact you and help you to get started by training you to hold the basket shows. You will learn about each product line and their unique characteristics along with their history to be a qualified representative of these baskets.

  As a consultant you will be able to receive free or 25% discount on Longaberger baskets and other products according to your sales volume. Through the company Home Show Experience you can also earn commissions.

  The basic cost to get started as a member is $49. If you want to have everything you need to start your business, you can go for the Business Basics Kit at $159. You also have the opportunity to buy the Business Builder Kit, which is a complete inventory of their products range, according to your selection for $399. From there you will determine your own level of success based on the time and effort you invest in your own Longaberger home based business.

  If you are interested to sell this product and make a part time income, then you might consider speaking to the company or find a local consultant. Go over the marketing plan and find out exactly what the earning potentials are and if you are required to purchase supplies or product on a monthly basis.

  However if you are serious about building it as a business, then you will want to consider using some online strategy to boost your business. Here is a 3 steps strategy which many top earners have used to be successful in their business:

  1) Personal Branding – You will need to promote yourself as a leader online and provide value to the community, this way your prospects will trust you and find value in associating with you. This works by you initiating to open yourself to the community, where they can learn about you and getting to know you.

  2) Online Training Resource – You will need these resources to update you on the latest strategies and methods that are working for the top earners. This will add value to you as the leader and personal branding. These resources will also teach you how to market online and provides you with the education you need to succeed in the network marketing industry. From these resources, you should be able to generate the endless leads to explode your business.

A good system will be able to setup for you a customized landing page with a sales funnel that will convert your leads and prospect into paying customers or cash flow for your business.
