Monday, August 25'th at 9:00 p.m. Eastern - Fantastic Fall Sales Teleseminar

Wednesday, August 27'th at 9:00 p.m. Eastern - Direct Selling Doctor© Members ONLY call - Karen will interview a master networker on how to meet more people and what to say when you meet them.

Fantastic Fall Sales Teleseminar

Have you been ignoring your business and falling into a hole month after month? It's time to change bad habits for a reawakening in your direct selling business. Do you know that even if you have been lazy all summer long you can get back on track? I've known consultants who have sold more September through December than they did the previous 9 months of the year. Are you going to be one of them?

There will be a "Fantastic Falls Sales Teleseminar" to be held on Monday, August 25'th at 9:00 p.m. Eastern. By the time this event is held there will only be 4 months left until Christmas. Don't get caught short on funds, forcing yourself to max out your credit cards to shop for the holidays! You will discover how to hold as many parties as you want and increase the amount of sales at every party!

On this call you will learn:

Why having a full calendar is important if you want to be successful in Direct Selling

Why you are putting off making necessary calls and how to get more excited about it

I'll be really honest with you. I hated making phone calls for bookings when I was in the business, which is why I got really good at getting 2 to 3 bookings from every party! You must get at least 2 bookings and I'll show you how easy it is!

How to increase your average party sales by a minimum of $100 or more.

Why continually re-booking hostesses can lead to a dead-end business.

How to have successful "suitcase shows".

Plus much more...

The registration for this event is only $17. Don't worry if you can't make it on the live call as you will have access to the replay for 21 days following the call. You may access the replay as many times as you like for less than the price of a week's worth of your favorite Starbuck's summer treat!

You know Karen...I have been having some amazing things happening in my life...I feel pulled toward the positive things that will move myself and my business forward. This call was one of those, it was amazing!!! Most of it gave me goose bumps, the words of advise and encouragement have awakened me. This call could not have came at a better time. I feel peace with a "problem" I had no answer for. Thank you so much for all your amazing emails, teleconference's they mean the world to me!! With your help I am blossoming into the leader I only dreamed about one year ago and for that, I thank you from the bottom of my heart!! Brenda

Karen, I was hesitant to be on this call. No reason but laziness, but I am so happy that I did join in!! Exactly what I needed to hear!! Attitude is EVERYTHING!! I will now pay more attention to what Dr. Zimmerman says and stay positive and like myself!! Thanks so much, Barb Pitkin

Dear Karen , What a wonderful and positive teleseminar tonight! Dr. Zimmerman was so inspiring and had so many wonderful ideas! I loved and NEEDED to hear his thoughts on risk...without risk we cannot grow, change and be truly successful. I am in the process of taking a risk in my direct sales business right now and this call tonight empowered me. Thank you! Valorie Morris

Dr. Zimmerman's thoughts on being exposed to negative people and how to prevent negativity from filtering into your life. When I thought about it, I realized how much bad news, sadness and money stresses we are exposed too. I intend to start focusing on this less. I enjoyed this teleseminar very much and am ordering Dr. Zimmerman's book Pivot.

"Leadership 101 "

This teleseminar will soon be combined with more material for a leadership program to be released soon! Karen will take you into the activities you can do as a leader to increase the recruiting, sales and promotions within your team. Learn how to help your new recruits and your team build bigger businesses for themselves which will increase your team sales and earnings!

WOW!! I am a leader with a Direct Sales company with over 100,000 consultants. I personally have a team of over 120 members. I learned more leadership with this hour and a half with you than I did during my 3 day leadership retreat my company put on this past March. I have been feeling stuck with my team and in the level I'm at. This class has helped me so much and I can't believe you offered it for FREE!!
Heather Frigaard, Cookie Lee

Karen- YOU never cease to amaze me with your teachings! I had the honor to meet you at the beginning of the year in Chicago. You "WOWed" me then and still do. I turn each of my new recruits onto you immediately to learn from your teachings. I have developed a mindset that leaders are leaders to help others reach their goals not yours. Your teachings last night were right on target. The handouts are great, easy to follow and a great tool to our collection. Everyone should have one of your CD's, for they will get hooked! I have a new recruit on my team that has worked with you in the past and it is great! Please keep up the great work in keeping us informed on becoming the "Greats" in Direct Selling. Eat your heart out Jim Rohn- here comes Karen! Tammy Rainbolt, Gold Canyon Candles

Are you and your other team members losing recruits? If this video is a little too close to the truth for you and your team, make sure you join us for the Leadership 101 Call!

The Leadership 101 call was fantastic! I love Karen's step by step explanation in a clear and easily understandable speaking voice. She is always so easy follow. I appreciate the handouts ahead of time to give us insight into what we'll be listening to. It's great to have a page to keep all of the notes organized and handy. The content is always helpful. And no matter how many times I listen , I always learn something new! It doesn't matter how long you've been in this industry!
Jennifer Scheidt Silpada Designs

WOW!! Thanks so much Karen!! This tele-seminar ROCKED!! You gave me the "Kick in the Pants" I needed. This is my 2nd call with you, but I have the next one already on my calendar. Recruiting has really never been hard for me, but promoting Leaders is a challenge. I can't wait to use your skills to make a difference. Thanks again!
Mika Anderson ~Tastefully Simple

Thank you so much for all of your wonderful advice and personal testimonials. I have really struggled with how to be a better leader to my team. When I started my business, I pretty much trained and led myself since my upline never was involved in that capacity so I wasn't sure how much to help my own team. Your guidance has been so beneficial on this topic and so many more. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! I look forward to the next call...they all seem to hit the right spot!

Hi Karen, I really enjoyed tonight's teleseminar. I have your Ultimate Success Bundle and listen to the CD's over and over. I always pick up something new each time I listen to them. I loved some of the ideas in tonight's call, especially the one for the Gift Basket. I will definitely be putting together a basket over the next few days. I also got some great ideas from your examples of compelling offers for summer bookings. Thanks for all the AWESOME information.
Sherri Stratton, Signature Home Styles

This seminar gave me so many ideas to help promote parties. I loved them and will use them year round -- not just summer. I have heard of the date card and the way you explained help me understand how to book more parties at times I want to work. Thank you so much. Carol J. Hartman, Arbonne International

Thank you so very much Karen for a great teleseminar. It really put me in my place of getting me kick started to a better summer. The part of the $1.00 more from last year in gas prices was a huge eye opener....I never thought of it that way. I look forward to my Whole Enchilada and can't wait to test out some of the tips on getting more parties. Thank you again Shari Steele

Hi Karen: I now have a clearer understanding about using the Open Date Card. I like your emphasis on putting only 1 calendar week on each side of your card! Your suggestions will be useful and I will work on implementing them this summer. I also didn't realize that I was using our Company's monthly specials as a crutch for me to use with the hosts and customers. I feel that the secrets you revealed in tonight's teleseminar will help me tremendously to get consistent bookings and sign up New Reps! Thanks for your enthusiasm! Elisa Williams, Demarle at Home

I LOVE all of your ideas to book parties. The way you manage to make a "real" question seem so silly and easy to solve. You have great advice and conviction in all your words. Not with a care to what others think. I am working to have that same conviction in my business and to pass it on to my team members. Patti Craig

Wow! Thank you for providing consistently practical information I can share with my team. Your Summer Scheduling strategies are going to work for me and my hostesses so we can all have successful parties this summer, where everyone wins! Thank you so much!
Karen Clark, Story Time Felts

Wow this was an amazing call ! I just got in from a party and can't wait to put this into place before my party on Thursday. The "Whole Enchilada" is great - I have listened to two of the CD's already and can't wait to do more... Watch me GROW !!!!!! Karen Meara, Athena's Home Novelties

I love these calls! Thanks so much for providing them. It was fabulous to get some fresh ideas about summer bookings from this call AND to be reminded of wonderful ideas that work like theme parties and a summer hostess gift basket draw. Keep up the great work, Karen! Sandy Shaloske

I so enjoyed your teleseminar this evening. Which I knew I would you are always so informative. I really liked the open date card and the ideal of not telling monthly specials as a whole to the group. I don't have a lot of problem booking, but I do have a lot of ladies, who says, well I'm not as interested in this next months special, put me down for next month. So I know this is going to be a lifesaver. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I will share your name and website with my down line.

Thank you! I am learning so much from listening to your teleseminars. What a blessing to have you teach us. Yours are the best. I so appreciate you. Jonnie Sorensen

"Hi Karen, You Rock! I just wanted to say that I listened to your conference last night on summer scheduling and woke up this morning so pumped I can't stand it. I love your ideas and think you are a brilliant woman. You are so motivational I can't stand it! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!"~ Beth Lassen

"Hi Karen....

Karen, your Time Management Teleseminar was wonderful. Being a natural procrastinator, the tools you offer will be invaluable in helping me make the best use of my time in building a really successful business. Thanks so much.
Joanne Calhoon, Demarle at Home

Thank you Karen for this awesome seminar! I already know the answers to some of the questions you suggested we ask ourselves, like that I spend WAY TOO MUCH time checking email! I can't wait to receive my bundle and start sharing tips with my team to help them grow their business and manage their time too! Kate Harms

Thank you so much for helping me to get myself motivate to STOP procrastinating - I have a whole list of things I have been putting off, and I am now going to get off my duff and start getting this Gold Canyon business back up and running like a well oiled machine again. Your such an inspiration to so many of us - Thank you so much Karen for helping me to realize that time wasted is money not seen!

"Put Your Big Girl Panties On Teleseminar!

This was the first teleseminar I have joined and I am so thrilled to start working on MYSELF & my sales career thanks to you Karen. Was not planning on staying up for the whole 1.5 hours, but I could not tear myself away!! Barb Pitkin

I feel as if I know you and I look forward to each of your teleseminars.. Hopefully one day you will come this way and I can see you on stage. I have learned alot from your cds and these calls, thanks soo much!! I too did not like the booking games but after seeing how you did them I tried and it works! I use alot of your suggestions and I am working my way up to management...Kathy Kehoe

Thank you, Karen! This is just what I needed! Thanks for reminding me that change is GOOD! Betsey Hayes, Southern Living at Home

WOW! What an inspiration!!!! I cannot wait to receive my "bundle" but I am not going to just wait for it, I'm ready to succeed NOW, TODAY, right this very minutes! I never thought I would come away from the call realizing the importance of my health and getting myself healthy in order to truly succeed in life. It absolutely makes sense! I tell ladies at every one of my parties they need to take care of themselves in order to feel good about themselves but I wasn't listening to my own words! I am not only excited about growing myself in my direct selling business but also getting myself healthy again! I look forward to one day shaking your hand in person, Karen, to say Thank You for helping me accomplish my goals and dreams in life! Kym Andrews

After tonight's call I am more pumped then ever to jump start my Gold Canyon Candle business and become the success I know that I can be. Thank you for giving me the push I needed to get back on track and achieve my dreams and goals.
Kathleen DeHart

Tonight's teleseminar was awesome. So much positive insight and information. It has given me much to focus on and I am prepared to take action now on making the necessary changes needed for a healthier, happier life. Thank you Karen.....
Georgette Edwards

Karen! Wow! I almost didn't listen to this and I am SO glad I did! I have to tell you that we watched Maid In Manhattan too, and I totally queued in on that quote! I even "rewound" and made my daughter listen!! Thank you SO much for reminding me that my BUT is in my way and I need to move it (as in exercise!) and get it gone and move on!! Booking game here I come! I love to listen to YOU on the treadmill, and am starting again (been on a "break"...) NOW!! NO MORE BUTS!

About "Ask the Expert"

Hi Karen, Thank you very much for the AWESOME call. I was not able to listen live, but I listened to the replay yesterday. I just forwarded the link to my 50+ team of awesome Silpada ladies because I believe very strongly that it is the BEST 1 hour + of training I've had in a long time. Again, THANK YOU!

Warm regards,

Casey Sprague, Silpada Designs

Karen, Thank you so much for sharing such invaluable information! I purchased your Ultimate Success bundle after the presentation pizzazz call and I listen to it EVERY DAY! The ask Karen call was fantastic for me. The questions you chose were excellent. I just promoted in my company yesterday (and I know you had something to do with it!), and I know that I gained some knowledge tonight that will help me maintain and grow my team! You are worth your weight in gold! I can't thank you enough for offering us such wonderful information. Thank you again, and I'm looking forward to your next call! Dianna Chou

Thank you Karen for taking the time to personally answer the questions that are most on the forefront of our minds! You are an inspiration and I look forward to receiving your Direct Selling Training Bundle and digging in deeper to my business and truly making it just that, MY BUSINESS! Brianne Collins, Southern Living at Home

Dear Karen, Last year you helped me quadruple my income! This year I am only two promotions away from the very top! As a Division Manager with lia sophia jewelry training women nationwide to reach their own financial goals is my number one priority. I use your calls and training programs as the back bone of my business. Thank you Thank you Thank you! Catherine Maxwell

Hi Karen! Thank you SO MUCH for your fantastic free teleseminars! I am so grateful that for how willing you are to share and teach and train and coach. I can tell how much you believe in me, in all of us, without even knowing us! Thank your that. I just wanted to share with you my favorite parts of the seminar... which parts really stuck with me most: 1)If I'm being pushy, then I am thinking about myself, and worrying about what people may think or feel about me. I need to be excited about what I have to offer. Don't Ask, Don't Nag, OFFER!! 2)Talk about your Hostess Program in detail at least twice at your shows. IF YOU'RE NOT BOOKING, YOU'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT IT!! 3)INTRODUCE YOURSELF TO EVERY SINGLE PERSON THAT ARRIVES! I do, in fact, do this and it really makes all the difference. You make a quick connection and it means everything. 4)PRESENT YOUR RECRUITING OFFER AS IF YOU'RE THEIR BOSS OFFERING A FANTASTIC OVERTIME OFFER - one they just can't pass up!. I really believe that making someone think of it that way will make a big difference! What a great way to present recruiting!! Thank you!! And most importantly, what spoke to me, was that my motivation can ONLY come from within. I need to set my goals, reach them, review them, rewrite them, and set & reach again. Ok, off to listen to your goal-getting CD! :)

Hi Karen
Its Debbie from Melbourne Australia, Thanks your for a informative morning here. Although I have been in the industry for some time its is refreshing to hear some new ideas, scripts and words.
As I am on my way to being a fantastic sponsor this year I was looking for inspiration & I saw and ordered your sponsoring CD through Spectrum Marketing. I loved your enthusiasm and your way of delivering your message so signed up for the newsletter.
This mornings Teleseminar was well worth the time investment and I am going to spread the word down under to be on the next one. I could listen to you all day. Which is why I have just ordered your special offer, I am not even sure what the $ conversion rate will be.
Thanks again! Debbie McPhee

Karen, I realized listening to your call that I am my greatest enemy. I need to LISTEN and ask questions and provide solutions through my company. I have many people interested and haven't been sure how to conduct the interview. I now know that I can guide the interview with questions and I won't have to "sell" them on anything. Just point out solutions! Thanks! Cyndi Doyle

Wow!! You have given me the confidence I need to take off with my business. How to overcome objections, but most importantly to reconfirm that helping others achieve their dreams will ensure that I achieve mine. It's not about what they can do for me, but what I can do for them. Thank you so much!! Angie Hamilton

"HI Karen!! Thank you for the great call!! I appreciate all of your great wisdom and knowledge." Jodie Fujimoto

Hi Karen! Wow what a great teleseminar. Ironically, I listen to a teleseminar replay from my own company just before listening to you. Their call was good. But, man what a difference listening to you! I had purchased your products before and used them for awhile and then like a lot of things I stuck them away. So now here I sit in December of all times with nothing up on my calendar. Why? I forgot to do the work!! You reminded me that I must work this business every single day. No excuses. Had I done that I would not be wondering how to pay for Christmas, etc. I hope you have a wonderful holiday and keep teaching us how to do the right things at the right times. Deb F

Thank you so much, Karen. Loved the definition of the difference between 'obnoxious' and 'contagious'!!! Also...thank you for reminding us to not pre-judge and to take ourselves out of the picture and focus on the person....their wants and needs. We loved having you in Dallas, Texas and can't wait for you to come back. I picked up so many good tips and am implementing them and seeing great results. Amethyst Jadet

Listen to what Marilyn from Home and Garden Party has to say about a previous teleseminar
Hi Karen, you are awesome I listen to a lot of speakers( you are one of the best) I don't usually purchase product from theses calls I purchased your bundle I want myself and my growing team to have you to listen to and train with I know we will build our business better, stronger and have more fun!!! thank you Dawn Newman
