How to Solicit withOUT Soliciting ~ get past the "NO SOLICITING" signs

Candle Business Tip : Use this technique to get in the doors where you've been scared to enter.  "NO SOLICITING" can be a scary sign, like an invisible barrier.   Personal experience proves those signs are mere deterrents, but when you have what they want, the sign is forgotten and you leave with cash in hand.

However, I offer you a very valuable tip, get in without mentioning your business, until they ASK YOU!  Find out how, watch below...

Materials Used : Cello Bags, Curling Ribbon, Scent Samples, Business Cards and oh-so-sweet-chocolate!

No Economy EXCUSES, just Economy Boosts!

Candle Business Tip : Thou shalt not use the "economy" as an Excuse for a sinking ship ~ This in-the-moment, first take video may strike a NeRvE with some, and I WANT it to. I am SO passionate about this industry and I believe that ANYONE with a no-fail attitude can reach amazing heights.  However I have heard  nearly every excuse in the book over the last decade as to why people are sinking, the most common one recently being 'the economy'. 

Stand tall, shine bright and REFUSE to take part in this "recession".  Now don't get me wrong, I have family members, friends and beyond who have lost jobs, homes and worse.  Some of them are indeed choosing to sit idle and do nothing about their situation.  That is a conscious choice.   However, others see the light and taking the bull by the horns.

I have had people email me "I'm quitting - my husband lost his job, I can't afford the auto ship".   Let me tell you this, if I had that attitude when I started with this company, I'd not be where I am today.  I have had HIGHS and LOWS.  I've almost thrown in the towel AND I've sought greener pastures.  Water your own lawn and get GLOWING!  Seriously, if your hubby loses his job, do you QUIT or do you get out there and start SELLING because you need money to survive the loss of his income? 

Your answer determines your success...

EEEK I know, tough love from Alethea Anderson, but it's because I LOVE YOU!  Each person out there HAS it inside, you just need to let it come to the surface... BELIEVE IN YOU!
