Accomplishing Goals

Senior Representative Barbara Vogel is from St. Louis, Missouri and joined Signature HomeStyles in December 2012. After attending her first Celebration Rally in 2013 she set goals and was determined to make things happen. And she did just that! With over $47,000 in sales, Barbara was awarded the President’s Council position in 2014 for New Representative – Sales. Barbara is proof that no matter how new you are to the business, you can be a success.

We recently talked to Barbara about her best advice for Representatives who want to take their business to the next level and what she feels she did to make it such a successful year.

Tell us about yourself:
I have four young children and I’m having the time of my life with Signature HomeStyles! I was with another company before this (that is no longer in business) but it didn’t compare to what I’m doing now! It is an honor to earn the award as the New Sales Representative on President’s Council and I’m going to top what I did last year because I learned a new thought process this year at Celebration Rally: BE INTENTIONAL! I won’t get what I want unless I ask and share what I have to offer – the gift of Signature HomeStyles.

What are your keys to success?
The best things that have helped me along the way are:
1. Touching my business every day
2. Staying consistent
3. Having fun so that my Hosts and Guests will, too.

I’ve also found that I must over-book my calendar. I may have six, eight, or ten shows on the calendar, but that doesn’t mean they will all stay there; I’m blessed if they do!

How do you keep your schedule full?
I’ve learned that if I want to get more bookings, I pick up the 100-pound phone and call someone. When we “Go for the No” and get enough people who say NO to us, we’ll be sure to also find plenty who will say “YES”. She is out there!

What are some things you do to increase sales?
I want to encourage you to love add-ons sales! They are so fun to sell because they make me and my Host’s money. I ask everyone if they want one of each of what we’re offering every month and always show off the surprise bag. Also, I’m using all that our company provides for us, and it’s a lot.
