SEPT/OCT2013 - Stampin` Up!

SEPT/OCT 2013
Dear Friend,
In the United States, we celebrate
Thanksgiving Day in November;
most countries have a similar holiday
sometime during the year. This issue of
the magazine focuses on gratitude and
helping you and your customers create
cards, pages, décor, and gifts for this
type of occasion.
See project ideas and read more from Shelli on her blog at soshelli.com.
So I’ve been thinking a lot about
gratitude and the things I’m grateful
for. Of course, the list is way too long
to mention in detail—I feel blessed in
so many ways! And certainly top on
the list are the wonderful demonstrators
and Stampin’ Up! employees that I’ve
been able to meet, work with, and
become friends with during the past
25 years. Thank you for being part of
our Stampin’ Up! family!
Many things in life are important, but
only a few really matter; I’ve heard it
described as the difference between
urgent and vital. Many things in our
lives clamor for our time and attention,
but separating the vital things from the
urgent things is a constant challenge—
and incredibly important.
I hope that during this time of year—
and always—your life is rich with the
things that matter most: loving
relationships and faith in something
that provides strength, peace, and
hope in your life.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Shelli’s Message
In addition, recently I have gained a
much deeper appreciation and love for
two things in my life—my testimony
of Jesus Christ and my loving family.
No need to go into detail; we all have
life experiences and circumstances
that create opportunities for learning
and growth. Suffice it to say that,
while these two things have always
been top on my list of things I’m
grateful for, I am more aware and
thankful for my Savior and my family
now than I have ever been before.

A thank-you card is so much more than just a pretty piece of paper with
a couple of words on it. It’s a paper hug. It’s love sealed in an envelope.
It’s an expression of one of our most important feelings: gratitude.

do it yourself
we’ve got you covered
Even technology needs a handmade
look. Why not give your iPad or other
tablet a colorful and creative cover?
Start with an old journal that fits your
tablet. Then, pick a color scheme that
suits you, embellishments to make it
rock, and get busy looking awesome.
It’s really that easy. The ribbon, paper, and
cardstock you choose will all depend on
the look you are going for. Make sure you
don’t spend too much on the journal. (You
already spent a lot on the tablet; no need
to spend a lot more.) We found one for a
dollar at a thrift store. Score!

Here’s how to re-create the tablet cover:
1. C
over the front and back with
Designer Series Paper and the spine

(Make sure to leave a 1/2" to 3/4"
overhang to fold over on the inside.)
Fold and adhere the overhang.

Adhere one strip along the inside

CASEing
CASE (kās) v. Copy And Share Everything
In the world of papercrafting, there is no shame in copying; in
fact, we encourage it! CASEing is an easy way to come up with a
project quickly, and there’s more than one way to CASE. You can
copy a project exactly, or you can switch out some of the elements
to adapt it for different needs.
This month, we’ve stayed pretty true to the original, using
the same basic background stamp and design idea (place
an accent inside the label), but we’ve chosen to switch up
the color palette plus create a completely different project—
moving from journal to notecard!
At the heart of both of these projects is the Ex Libris Stamp,
which creates a warm, welcoming image on the cover of
the journal and a beautifully elegant front for the card.
We’ve substituted a thank-you greeting and 3-D flower for
the butterfly, then added a coordinating label image on the
envelope, tying both pieces together.
The next time you’re looking to CASE, think about CASEing
completely different types of projects. Cards make great
pages, pages can transform into invitations, invitations
become ideal home décor . . . and so on and so on.
»The beauty of CASEing with larger stamps is that most
of the work is done for you. Because the images are larger,
you don’t have to make many changes. You could even use
this same template with many of Stampin’ Up!’s background
stamps, creating all sorts of project possibilities.
»You’ll find the Hello journal on page 106 of the 2013–2014
annual catalog.

SIMPLE CHANGES. ANY PROJECT. ANY STAMPER.
step it up
So Fun, So Easy
Take a basic design, make a few changes, and
presto—you’ve just stepped up your project!
It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3:
1. Use page protectors to embellish
your page.
2. A
dd splashes of color and texture
with ink, embossing, and journaling.
3. Add touches of paper.
Our 8" x 8" Page Protectors make it easy to
protect your page—and even embellish it.
To step up the page, our artist cut a square
from another page protector for a pocket,
which she then stitched over one of the
squares. Innovative? Definitely.
Splash Some Color and Texture
Ink and embossing will step up your page,
too. With an Aqua Painter and ink, our
artist splashed dots of ink on one square.
She also embossed a little piece of a Window
Sheet for color and texture.
Simple page designs are easy to create.
Our artist used a four square design: two
squares for photos and two for journaling,
embellishments, and color.
She captured the day perfectly by
journaling over the photo with a gel pen!
It gives visual texture without messing
everything up. To top off the masterpiece,
she used scraps of cardstock and punches
to create confetti in our color scheme.
To step up the page, she made innovative
changes. Tell your customers that all they
need to step up a page is a fresh idea.
With a few ideas and suggestions from you,
your customers will soon see that stepping
up a page is easy and fun!

To encourage purchases, if a
customer orders all of the supplies
for a project, offer to provide an
instruction sheet with
measurements. Remember: if
you provide lots of project ideas,
simple instructions, and support
for your customers, they will buy
supplies to create packages for any
occasion—giving you extra sales!
Bewitch Your Hostess!
Make the Halloween Bash
window box for your hostess—
and she’ll be haunted by your
thoughtfulness. Fill it with
spooky treats and encourage
her to eat them . . . if she dares!
Even Shakespeare’s witches
would not turn up their noses
at such a spirited way to thank
your hostess.
Let Them Experiment!
(Bwah, hah, hah!)
It’s mad science! Ink Halloween
images in VersaMark, then show
your customers how to carefully
pour on the Stampin’ Emboss
Powder. Let them heat the
stamped image with a Heat Tool
until the powder changes to a
shiny liquid and rises—like
ghosts in a graveyard! Let your
customers have fun with
embossing, and they will want
to buy the equipment to perform
these “experiments” at home!

ghosting
THE FRIENDLIEST TECHNIQUE YOU KNOW
No need to call the Ghostbusters
because you’ll definitely want to keep
this ghost around! After all, what
better technique than ghosting to
showcase at your stamping events
leading up to Halloween? Think of all
the fun you can have with the theme.
Bring out the creepy decorations, kick
things off with a ghost story, serve
up some spooky treats, put on some
scary music, and let the party begin!
Customers are sure to have the time
of their lives . . . unless, of course, they
come from beyond the grave . . . with
a party this fun, don’t be surprised if
a few uninvited guests show up. *cue
maniacal laughter*
Create a ghosting project to advertise
your events, then show it off and
say, “Book a party with me for next
month, and I’ll teach you the ghosting
technique. You and your guests will
get to make this stinkin’ cute card.
And for hosting the party, you’ll get
a spooky bonus gift, too!” The Bats
about You box is not only ideal for
STEP 1. Stamp the bat image
your demonstration, but fill it with
some treats and it’s also a perfectly
spooky hostess gift.
Of course, if all this eerie stuff is
too much for you or if you’re just
not into Halloween, never fear!
You’ve got options. Just because
it’s called ghosting, doesn’t mean
you have to tie it to Halloween
or anything scary. In fact, it’s
a technique you’ll want to use
year round. Notice how we’ve
used ghosting on the chevron
background of the Hello card
and on the 39 label on the Happy
39 card. Nothing frightening
about those projects. And it
would be easy to swap out the
image and greeting on the bat
box for a perfectly non-creepy
demonstration and hostess
gift. Give it a try and share your
favorite new technique.
To help you with your ghostly events, we’ve posted
a PDF with supplies and full instructions for the
Hello card Make & Take and a video demonstrating
the Happy 39 card in this month’s Online Extras.

words, words,
THEY ARE MORE THAN ABCs
It’s said that a picture is worth a thousand words,
but there are some times when words are the
way to go. Photos are often the stars of the show
on scrapbook pages, but let’s face it—many of us
started scrapbooking so we could capture the
stories behind the photos. That’s why you need
words . . . and that’s where our alphabets come in.
Choose Your ABCs
Want alphabet options? We’ve got ’em. Here are
just a few.
•W
e’ve got more than half a dozen alphabet
stamp sets to choose from, so there’s sure to
be one that’s right for every project. Bold or
whimsical, small or large.
•G
reetings are not just for alien visitors; they are
also for scrapbook pages. Choose sayings that
suit the look and theme of the page.
•M
ake a strong statement with our Big Shot dies.
With our Typeset Alphabet Bigz Dies, you can
craft bold, custom titles. Add other words with
our Thinlits™ dies as seen on the Drake page (see
the July/Aug 2013 issue of Stampin’ Success for
more projects showcasing the Thinlits Dies).
Mix It Up
Mixing font styles and sizes is a look that’s so now.
Both pages shown here feature this technique.
Spend time playing with different styles to find
your favorite look.
So the next time your customers are looking for
that certain something to add to their scrapbook
pages, point to the words—so many options that
make pages more memorable than ever.
»Make sure customers don’t miss our alphabet
stamp sets. Point out, “They can be used in all kinds
of projects—from cards to tags to scrapbook pages.
And you’ll never run out of the letter you need.”

fabulous way to add emphasis.

simply created superheroes
If you had a superpower what would it
be? The ability to fly, teleport, read minds,
travel through time? What about the
ability to pull off a perfectly planned
Stampin’ Up! event with a five-star project
that won’t leave you completely exhausted
at the end? Is that even possible without
exposing yourself to radioactive material
or getting bitten by some genetically
altered creature? Yes! All you need are the
Simply Created Project Kits.
Let’s take a closer look at their superpowers:
1. B
eautifully designed projects. It is
fulfilling to see your customers’ faces as
they “ooh” and “ahh” over your designs.
But, every once in a while it is nice to
let someone else do the work. Kits can
help fill in those creative gaps when
the right side of your brain just needs a
break. All the design work is done. Just
pick a kit, like the Thankful Tablescape
(item 133463), and run with it.
3. R
easonably priced. Let’s put a different
spin on the previous question. How much
would it cost to prepare a project like
this for your customers? Remember,
it also comes with some Linen Thread
and a White Stampin’ Chalk Marker.
Kits are engineered to save money and
provide a substantial amount of supplies
at a reasonable price. The Thankful
Tablescape is just $19.95 us/$24.95 can .
2. P
roject preparation is done. Ever
wondered how much time you spend
cutting, scoring, assembling, and
preparing for your events? How long
would it take to prepare the items in
the Thankful Tablescape kit?
• 1 0 dinner napkin holders (cardstock
holders, Designer Series Paper belly
bands, name banners, journaling cards)
4. Instructions included. You can focus on
more important things at your events
like making sure everyone has a catalog
and a treat in hand. Let them create while
you build your business. Answer their
product questions, book more parties,
and get to know your new customers.
• Table tents (Designer Series Paper
bases, die-cut chalkboard labels)
• Centerpiece wraps (birch paper ribbon,
Chocolate Chip paper ribbon)
5. A
ttract new customers. Speaking of new
• Die-cut printed leaves

of essential supplies. You could plan
an event around a kit like the Thankful
Tablescape and ask your customers to
bring a friend. They’ll get to leave with
an entire set of table decorations for an
upcoming Thanksgiving dinner party.
Who wouldn’t love that?
6. V
ariety of projects in every publication.
Your customers will keep on coming
back for more kits. Don’t panic, in every
publication we offer a variety of projects
from holiday inspiration, home décor,
party planning, and the list goes on and
on. Take a look at all the kits from the
holiday catalog on the facing page.
7. P
lenty of upsell opportunities.
The kits are fantastic alone, but this
is Stampin’ Up! after all, so of course
there are coordinating products. Our
artist embellished the tablescape
samples with some 1-1/4" Burlap
Ribbon, a Naturals Designer Button,
Sweater Weather Designer Series
Paper leaves, a gratitude banner,
and the Thankful stamp. See another
example of a stepped-up kit in the
holiday catalog on page 4.
So, the big question is—how will you
use kits to strengthen your business?
You don’t need X-ray vision to see that
their superpowers could save the day
at your next event!

giving thanks Welcome to your party this month! In this article you’ll find one project to
demonstrate, one to share as a Make & Take, and one to give as a hostess gift. Feel free to change things up, but you’ll
find everything you need for your next round of parties on these two pages.
Any time of year is the perfect
time to gather friends, create
beautiful things, and build
relationships—all in one

that you’ll be creating projects
you’ll be proud to pin, too.)

Any hostess will love receiving the
little Gratitude book as an added
“thank you” for hosting a workshop.
We used square envelopes to create
each page of the book, added some
stamping, photos, and washi tape to
keep it all together. Cool, huh?
There’s no better time and no better
way to thank her for hosting!
Easy to Upsell
Punches and Framelits (along with
the amazing Big Shot) are tools you
and your customers can’t live
without at your workshop. All three
of our workshop projects used a
punch, a Framelits die, or both. Be
sure to take a moment to let your
customers try these tools. And, be
sure to upsell them when you have
a chance—especially the Framelits
that cut stamped images. Tell them,
“I love using Framelits Dies to cut
my stamped images. They save me
so much time, and it’s so easy.”
Well, that’s it—just a few fun ideas,
suggestions, and inspiration for
your next workshop!

how to upsell without being annoying
We’ve all been there: Victim to an
annoying salesperson who tries to
keep telling us to get this or that . . .
who doesn’t seem to notice the “get
off my back!” daggers shooting out of
our eyes. We’ve also all experienced
the flipside: when someone fills us
in on just the thing(s) to make our
purchase complete. The trick is to
make the experience a positive one
for both you and the customers. Here
are some tips to do it right.
•M
ake sure they have everything
they need. Spend a little 1:1 time
with everybody at your events so
you can review the stuff on their
order form and ask them what
they’re planning to make with it.
Then ensure they have everything
they need to finish their project.
It’s like if you went to the store to
pick up a travel-sized hair dryer
for a trip-of-a-lifetime to Paris.
The sale clerk might suggest a
plug adapter so you could actually
use it there. Annoying? No.
Helpful? Yes. In fact, it would be
annoying to get to Paris and not
be able to style your hair and
look all fab—just like it would
be annoying to have big plans to
make your dad a scrapbook for
his 50th birthday, but then realize
you forgot to buy the album itself.
•H
elp your customers take their
projects up a notch. There are so
many cool things that you can do
on a project, and you can suggest
ways to give your customers even
more creative options. If someone
buys a flower set and ink pad to
make some cards, you could say,
“That flower would look so good
stamped on the outside of the
envelope. I’d recommend getting
a Stampin’ Write Marker so you
can address the envelope in the
exact same color.”
• Pay attention. Paying attention
to what people say and do at
your events will pay off. Here’s
an example of how it can work:
“I noticed you had fun using the
Aqua Painters today. You’re a
very talented artist! We have
another item that all my artistically
inclined customers love. It’s called a
Blender Pen and it works perfectly
for coloring and customizing your
projects. Let me show you where it
is in the catalog.” Just don’t get too
stalkerly in your eavesdropping and
observing. That would be annoying.

•U
psell opportunities. Products aren’t the
only ad-ons you can suggest. Consider
these opportunities that make great upsells:
•C
lasses: Speak up when people order
products that are associated with a
technique. Then tell them about a class
you’re offering where you’ll go over that
technique (even if you “coincidentally”
come up with the class idea that second).
»What’s upselling? It’s offering
suggestions for additional items
to an existing sale.
•H
osting a party: Use a wish list in your
events where customers can write down
everything they see that they’d love to
have. When you’re reviewing their order,
let them know that if they hosted a party
they could get some of their wish list items
for free. Then ask if they’re interested.
Everybody likes the sound of “free.”
•B
ecoming a demonstrator: If their order
is anywhere near $99 us/$125 can , tell
them they may as well join Stampin’ Up!
(and just turn their order into a Starter Kit)
and then get 20 percent off everything
they want after that—and even be able to
make some money sharing products with
their friends. Pointing that option out is
SO not annoying. In fact, your customers
might even thank you.

just let ’em stamp!
gratitude favor holder
Aimee has been papercrafting for more than 15 years.
She tried her hand at stamping and immediately fell
in love with the color coordination and diversity that
Stampin’ Up! offers. What she never anticipated was
the joy of helping others unlock their inner crafter. “I
initially intended to be a hobby demonstrator, but my
friend and coworker asked if I would consider doing a
workshop in her home. I said I would give it a try and
LOVED it! I never realized how much fun I would have
showing people the potential they have to be creative.”
Aimee Cretsinger
Supervisor
Churubusco, Indiana
Showing her customers their potential has been her
goal for every workshop. “In my workshops, I try to let
my customers be as creative as they would like. Some
like to duplicate the projects exactly as I present them,
while others may have their own personal touch they
want to add to really make the project their own.”
Aimee’s laissez-faire approach to stamping has helped
her attract new customers. “I really enjoy listening to
my customers tell people how they should try one of
my workshops. They’ve said, ‘With Aimee around I
never feel like I mess up.’”
Aimee attests that it’s not just letting your customers
create what they want that will attract them. “When
you begin to share what you love, people respond. Don’t
get discouraged if your numbers are not what you had
hoped for. Focus on sharing the joy and creativity—it’s
contagious! People will want what you have . . . ALL of
it! The most important thing is to have fun and create!”

Helping people create is why she enjoys being a Stampin’
Up! demonstrator. “My favorite thing about being a

ability to help someone find their own creativity. I
love it when my customers show me projects they
have made on their own; they are so proud of what
they have created. It makes my heart smile!”

That’s not to mention the additional
compensation in your downline overrides,
which obviously grows as your downline
expands!
Manager/Counselor Title: Unless you’re
an accountant, you might not find charts
and numbers exciting. But there is a spot
on the compensation plan chart that we
find pretty exciting (and trust us—we’re
not all accountants), and that is the
manager/counselor title. Why? Because
that’s where you start seeing the real
potential and benefits of your business!
If you set a title goal, we’ve provided you a
great resource that can help keep you on

(you'll see the manager/counselor worksheet
to the left) can be a great resource because
they include all the requirements and
benefits of each title. Keep them nearby as a

lives
changing
For the last 25 years Stampin’ Up! has been making a
difference in the lives of many. Sometimes it is in
small ways, but other times it brings hope when it’s
needed most. Enjoy a few examples of the difference
we are all making together.
“When my infant daughter passed away suddenly,
I lost interest in life. I never wanted to go out in
fear of seeing a baby or baby clothes or hearing
a baby cry. For almost a year, I stayed in the safe
walls of my home. One evening a friend came to
my home and dragged me to a Stampin’ Up!
workshop. I had so much fun, and being a creative
person I felt like I really wanted to do this. I went
home and told my husband; he said whatever it
cost, he would pay it! He told me later that when I
came home that night he saw a sparkle in my eye
that had not been there in a very long time and he
felt like the person he married was back. It gave
me purpose again. Our daughter, Sydnee would
be 10 now! I wear a baby angel pin on my apron
in honor of her. Stampin’ Up! gave me my life
back and I am forever grateful.”
Dianna Reich, Senior Supervisor
Holt, Michigan
“Stampin' Up! has helped me reconnect with a
friend that I truly missed in my life, and now she is
my upline! I ran into her at the supermarket, and
she invited me to come to her card class. I am so
happy that I decided to go; it truly changed my
life. I became a demonstrator a couple months
later. It has also given me back my creative self
that I lost when I was working full time. I feel so
much happier with Stampin’ Up! in my life, and I
love to share it with others and have classes of
my own every month. I love this company, and I
am truly honored that I get to go to convention
this year. Thank you Stampin' Up!”
“An elderly friend at church was struck with
cancer last October. Since then, I have been
sending him a homemade Stampin’ Up! card
once a month. In March, he was able to attend
a Mass. As we were leaving the church, I told
him he looked stronger. He said, ‘It's all those
cards.’ It gives me such satisfaction to be able
to minister to others in this way!”
Dawn MacKay, Senior Associate
Brewer, Maine
“Stampin’ Up! has given me the ability to minister
to people and to give them a purpose in life. It
took one of my customers away from gambling;
it gave another something for her to look forward
to after she had to admit her husband into a care
center. A single mom was given the joy of friends.
I could go on and on. Thank you Stampin' Up! for
the ability to help so many people and bring joy
to their lives.”
Joan Pelkie, Senior Supervisor
Spokane, Washington
“I never realized that I had the creativity that I
do until Stampin' Up! came. I always want to
make each card better than the last one! Thanks
for bringing it out of me, Stampin' Up! As well,
because of Stampin’ Up!, I have met new friends
all over North America!”
Dawn Shearer, Senior Consultant
Sundridge, Ontario

background builders—
make them the center of attention
Staying in the background implies
laying low, staying quiet, and not
drawing any attention to yourself.
But that’s definitely not the case
with our new Background Builders
Stamp Set. This three-image set is
designed to be the center of attention
when you’re creating your stamping
projects; the diversity of the artwork
and endless possibilities it offers
means that you’ll be able to use this
set over and over and over again!
Like the name implies, these images
work great as the background for
anything. Because the stamps are
actually single images designed to
build on each other, you can create
customized backgrounds in the exact
colors that you want (even ombre—
see the fading background on the
Thank You card), in the exact pattern
you want and wherever you want
on the project. You can also use the
images to create backgrounds on
smaller project accents, such as the
flowing script background on the
Hello card.
But backgrounds aren’t your only
choices with Background Builders!
The single horizontal images offer
ideal border options; the image fits
perfectly along the long side of a
traditional 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" card. And
with three versatile images to choose
from, you’ll find one to complement
just about any project.
And there’s more! Stamp the images
on strips of cardstock or ribbon (see
how the image intensifies the ribbon
on our Bride & Groom gift?) to create
the perfect accent for gifts, favors,
invitations, and more. The exclusive
artwork also coordinates with other
Stampin’ Up! products (check out how
nicely the background on the Thank
You card ties in with the Mosaic Punch
and Quatrefancy Specialty Designer
Series Paper), creating the perfect
pairing for your hand-stamped projects.
These are just a few ideas; as you and your
guests play with these exclusive images,
you’re sure to find even more ways to keep
Background Builders front and center in
your world of creative options.
Moving Background
Builders to the Front
Stamps
Consider planning an “Exact
Stamp Placement” class where
you feature Background Builders
and show your guests how to use
the Stamp-a-ma-jig, which allows
them to align images precisely
and create background patterns
exactly, without stressing about
making a mistake. They’ll definitely
want to add a Stamp-a-ma-jig to
their order after seeing this great
tool in action.

You might also schedule a “Border
Building Open House” that focuses
on the difference a border makes
on pages, cards, and envelopes.
Background Builders could be the
main attraction in this event; you
could also display other stamp sets

compact stacks
WHERE CONVENIENCE AND COORDINATION MEET
We love convenience. We love coordination—we really, really
love coordination. And we love it when a product combines
both. Just like our Designer Series Paper Stacks.
The convenience lies in the size: 4-1/2" by 6-1/2", sized right for
projects that don’t require a full 12" x 12" sheet. New or occasional
crafters will find that the smaller size is easier to handle, which
can be a big plus. And they’re glued on one side in a pad so you
won’t have loose sheets flying around—they’ll stay all neat
and tidy.
For almost next to nothing ($6.95 us/$8.50 can), your
customers will get 48 (smallish) sheets of our highquality Designer Series Paper, with two double-sided
designs. So with one stack, they can make the fronts
for 48 holiday cards (perfect for making multiples of
the same card—what a timesaver!) Or 48 twisty treat
containers for neighbor gifts or party favors. What a
deal for such a compact stack!
season of style twisty treat containers
Coordination? Our stacks have oodles of coordinating products
(see the holiday catalog), not to mention coordinating colors so
you can use them all year, not just for the holidays.

You’ll have no problem selling the paper stacks when you use
them on a card in a party or class. Just say, “If you want to make
multiple cards of the same design like we did just now, make
sure you buy a paper stack. With 48 sheets to a stack, you’ll have
plenty to make all of your holiday cards.”

»You don’t need to trim the paper stack sheets—just adhere,
twist, fill, and close. (See detailed instructions in the October 2008

learning the ABCs of
making stampin’ up! work
Gloria Helmbrecht
Senior Executive
Franklin, Wisconsin
ATTITUDE
BOOKING
CONSISTENCY
Booking
Gloria Helmbrecht has been stamping for 22
years. It all started with a little embossing, and
she’s been hooked ever since. She reminisces, “I
saw someone who did some embossing at a craft
fair in November of 1991. I loved that you could
create little pieces of art with rubber stamp
images.” What added more to Gloria’s wow was
how she could make things so personal, “I could
make each card look so different with different
accessories and products.”
minimum! Knowing this motivates me to get
on the phone, start booking, and doing events
to get myself out there again.”
Success has followed Gloria for the last 22 years.
Let’s take a look at the basics—the ABCs—of
how Gloria makes Stampin’ Up! work for her.
Gloria finds that consistency is a key in so many
aspects of her business—regardless of what
happens. She reminds us that failure many times
leads to success: “We all will experience failure in
some of the things we do try. But, that just gets
us that much closer to success. I made a lot of
mistakes in building my business. But, I shook
myself off and got back up again!”
Attitude
It’s all in the attitude. And Gloria’s attitude
for her business definitely impacts her
success. Her advice for anyone who wants
to build a business: “Start thinking like a
business woman, sell products, and get in
front of people. It is the only way to grow.”
Making a Difference
For Gloria, attitude also means thinking of
running your business in a new way. “With my
downline, I am always trying new things—
mini regionals, online contests, and more. I see
my downline at events and ask their opinions.
I always want to know what they are thinking,”
she shares.
28
A lot can happen in 22 years, but that hasn’t
stopped Gloria. She’s learned to keep going
despite changes. “I have moved so much that
keeping in touch with my downline has been
a challenge,” she shares, “I have been able to
remake myself and my business several times.”
Although moving has been a challenge for
Gloria, she always goes back to the basics.
She explains, “For me, moving to new areas
has been the biggest challenge to my business.
Since I am in a new area right now, I am now
a new demonstrator with a $1,500 per month
Gloria has sound advice for other demonstrators
who want to boost their business: “You need
goals. Determine them. Work towards them.”
And, she adds, “Get in front of people again
and again!”
Consistency
Consistency goes a long way when it comes to
motivating her downline. She explains, “When
working with your downline, I think the biggest
part is consistency. If an upline says they are
going to be available by phone or e-mail, they
should be available. If they say they are going
to have a mini regional, they should have a
mini regional.”
With Gloria’s Stampin’ Up! ABCs—attitude,
booking, and consistency—no wonder she
easily spells SUCCESS!
Gloria’s attitude has definitely determined
her altitude!
