One of the things we have talked about in our Success Fraternity phone calls is training, and it is a topic that intrigues everyone.
Jan Wakeland shared that she has put together a "top 10" for new demos to start on.
I work with a "new demonstrator roadmap to success"
Here are a couple of ideas on what can go on your new demo training:
1) sign up for a DBWS
2) plan an open house to share your new venture
3) send an email out to everyone you know letting them know about your new venture. Invite them to join you at your open house AND to visit your DBWS
4) put together a list of events you would like to host: mother/daughter, scrapping day, fundraiser, private party, stamp clubs. Create 6 months worth of offerings and advertise these
5) go over placing orders, pricing, shipping, etc
6) teach how to organize paperwork, sending thank you notes, customer follow up, etc
7) attend a group event
leave your thoughts below on what YOU would like to have as a new demo training.
We learn best from each other, so here is your opportunity to share.
And we all have an opinion as we have all been a new demo!!
Be Inspired!

what’s a DBWS? thanks!
Hey Heather
that is a demonstrator business web site, it is the way Stampin’Up! demos can take orders on line
This is all good after they are signed up and going forward. Jan’s recommendations were good too. I’m looking for conversation to find the business-minded rather than the discount-minded people from the start. What I hear most about are turning those hobby gals/guys into the business gals/guys.
Celia, my mantra has always been “sign them for the discount and train them for the career”
ALL of my best business demos came in just for the fun, because they loved the stuff. I think rather than finding and focusing on a certain type of demo we need to cast a WIDE net and then provide the training and motivation for them to be willing to do more.
lmk if that makes sense 🙂
