From the lists on onelist:

I know many of you have been anxiously awaiting the release of PartyTrak - The new FREE database for tracking all types of information and contacts as well as parties, etc. for our PL business.

You must have Access 97 in order to use this database. 

Everything is going well and we are now ready to release the public version to all of my friends here on the onelist and anyone else you care to share this within the direct sales industry. 

Once again, there is NO COST to you for PartyTrak!  A Paycheck of the Heart means more to us than charging each of you a few dollars for this program.

PartyTrak can be downloaded from my webpage  http://www.Candlez.com
(Partytrak Page)

There is an on screen tutorial and we will be glad to answer any of your questions you may have about PartyTrak.

There is an on screen form available from my webpage for free support questions.

I hope that this program can be as beneficial to your business as it has been to mine.

Please let me know your thoughts on PartyTrak

You must have Access 97 in order to use this database.

Have you checked the Business Links pages lately? I just added a new link to Online Resources - Step Into Success (Belinda Ellsworth). They've put together a great website and have some neat product offerings. Be sure to let them know how you found them!

Two great contributions - especially in light of Father's Day weekend which is now upon us. Be sure to take time to thank the [Company] Man in your life (or your significant support person of course, I'm still searching for that special [Company] Man myself LOL)
The Men Of
[Company] Husbands originated from Cindy Boeselager GL, Pillars of the Plains Unit, Phenomenal Region. It was written in honor of Gina Kuhl's husband for her RVP Celebration!

Subject: Effective Wording!

I can't tell you how much of a HUGE difference it has made for me in the past few days to start offering not "shows" but "SHOPPING SPREE'S!". A lot of people seemed to be saying no as soon as they heard the words "home show or party, etc., etc." but now they say - "What kind of shopping spree?" Then you go on to explain the hostess program (I just say you ask some friends over and open a bag of chips or Oreos) and I tell them that I call it a shopping spree because I give so much more free stuff away than other type "parties" ($75 - $100). Instead of 1st thinking about the WORK - clean the house and buy some munchies, they think "FREE!" I have tried to eliminate the word show and party from my vocabulary except where I can't possibly think of another word. I say. "So, what date would be most convenient for YOUR SHOPPING SPREE?" and like when someone asks me what I do, now I say "I give away candle SHOPPING SPREES!" etc, etc. 

I would suggest you try it and just see the difference - it's a POWERFUL change in phrasing to get bookings at the actual party, too. "Can't you tell (hostess) is having a great time on her SHOPPING SPREE...so what do you have picked out so far, (hostess)? Anyway, I think you probably have gotten the point by now! LOL

And The Winner Is...another great post from Hank! Could you be the $10,000,000 winner?

Great Booking Idea off the candlecyberunit list from Lisa B!

I have been using "Firecrackers and Bombs" and is working out awesome!!  I wrap anywhere from 3-5 Tealites to look like a piece of candy, using blue and red tissue paper, tying them off with white ribbon.  Letting the hostess know if she gives all 4 "firecrackers" away (4 Bookings) she will get the "Bomb" 
Right now am using a ball candle for the "bomb", but 2-3 voitives will work just the same.  (Wrapped in red/blue) Goes well with the 4th of July display. Within 3 shows got 11 bookings.  Even if half of them hold, will have a great month.

If you try this please let me know how the response is.

Have a great month...Lisa B

Thanks Rene Applegarth for a new Show Outline and a great game called Let's Make A Deal! These have been very successful for her and for the consultants in her unit over the past three years. If my translation leaves you with questions on either topic, be sure to email Rene for further explanation (her email is on the bottom of each page)

It's so nice to be missed! Please never hesitate to email me when you notice an unusually long period of time without updates! In this case, it's been due to an incredibly busy period of travel for me doing tech work, but in case there had been a problem with the website, that's the only way I would know - all you faithful daily followers suddenly noticing no updates!

It's taken me all morning today, but the directory is totally current to the best of my knowledge. If you've been waiting to see your name show up, check it out and make sure it's correct. There are several different formats to the individual state pages, because we're currently revising them to be more print-effective (ie: less paper, easier to read, etc.) That, however, is a lengthy process so will be done as time permits.

Same thing with the past guestbook pages...working on cleaning those up and moving them to the same

If you've mailed me requests for the fund-raiser sheet (and included the requested stamps) but have not received it yet, you might drop me an email. I've tried to turn those around the same day I receive them, but it's possible in the past two weeks that I may have shuffled the envelopes in the piles of paperwork here in my office and be overdue in replying. Those of you who HAVE received them, you might email me with your success stories to add to the site, how have you used the fund raiser sheets, how successful was it, are there things you might have changed or done differently?

If you haven't been to Jenny B's website lately - www.thebooster.com - you might want to pop in. Most of you know, Jenny B stickers and sales aids

Are you all getting ready for conference? Here's a great little Conference Survival Kit that was posted today on the AOL board (and originated on another company's board).
