How Penny got started with StellaDot
I a mother of 3 boys and for a long time I have been
looking for an opportunity to do something for myself that would fit in
around my family and lifestyle and allow me to earn extra income. I
heard about Stella & Dot in early February and went along to an
event to meet other Stylists. Stella & Dot is an american inc 500
fastest growing company and they launched un the UK last October and so
were recruiting Stylists in the UK. Straight away I was completely
stunned by the gorgeous range of jewellery and loved it all! I was
introduced to a lady who I was told would sponsor me thereby coach me
and help me launch my own business as a stylist. I paid my joining fee
of £198 and got my whole business in a box and £400 worth of jewellery.
Immediately you have your sponsor who helps you every step of the way
and you have access to the Stella & Dot online community of other
stylists and the stylist lounge where you will find out everything that
you need to know and you can get access to 24/7 online training videos.
You can dial in weekly to live training calls and find out about all
the wonderful incentives you get as a stylist. Not only do you earn 25
to 30% commission but you also earn free jewellery, free bonuses and
free business supply credits for all your lovely brochures. You will
have your own personal ecommerce website for those online orders too!
Straight
away I created a big list of who I knew and started booking Trunk
Shows. These are the jewellery parties that you do for a hostess and a
group of her friends. These are 2 hour events and the hostess gets free
jewellery and discounts depending on my sales. I have met such lovely
ladies doing these shows and I really enjoy styling the ladies with the
jewellery and helping them update their jewellery wardrobe. Our
boutique style jewellery is a very good price range, 50% is under £40
and we have had so much of our pieces featured in the fashion magazines
from Vogue, InStyle, Grazia, Red and Easy Living! We also have a huge
amount of celebrities wearing the jewellery too!
The
best part of being a Stylist is the earning potential and
opportunities. Not only can you earn up to £50 per hour at your trunk
shows but also you can decide to sponsor and thereby coach and mentor
new stylists. This way you can layer your income as Stella &Dot
will pay you coaching commissions! You become part of a team and every
month I meet with my sponsor and her team and thereby get continual
support and training. You are running your own business in your time
from as little as two hours per week to 40 hours per week should you
wish but with all the support and back up from Stella & Dot so you
don't feel alone. I have been promoted to Senior stylist because I am
building a team and my coaching percentages have increased as a result
and I have earned a considerable amount of commission and more than paid
back my initial investment.
I am attending
in July our annual two day training conference in July and I will be
able to mingle with hundreds of other stylists at this event. The
beauty of this business is that we are all supporting each others and
there are no territories which is great.
This
is such a challenging and rewarding business. Every day I feel so
glamorous wearing the gorgeous jewellery samples and proud to have my
business for Stella & Dot! It has changed my life and given me such
focus. I would love to be able to give you too the opportunity to
become a Stylist so please get in touch with me.
