Life Updated

Happy Spring! It's been a busy month for me and Perfectly Posh. The business side has been booming, more and more people are discovering the magic of Posh every day, while others are spreading the word with their friends on how much they love a particular product.

The Spring Fling Open House party is over and orders were put in last night. Three new customers made orders, awesome! A new friends, Jeannette Shirley has joined the team and will soon be moving to Texas to share more about Posh there. Still looking for someone to take on the locals here in Fort Irwin. If anyone is at all interested, I have information packets available to take home, and we can set a time to sit and talk over coffee/tea.

I'd also like to share my Posh story with you all. I know not many are believers in direct sales and only have the crazy door-to-door sales ladies and knives salesmen to go by when you think about what running a direct sales means. It's nothing like that. Trust me, because I was such a person who only recalled the AVON lady my mother avoided when I was young. Not saying AVON is bad, because I enjoy shopping AVON from time to time myself. It was the salesperson's tactics that scared some people. :-)

So, here it goes...


Knowing I was going to soon quit my job and move on military housing, I felt this was my opportunity to start something I’d always wanted to, a home business. Though, I must admit, I wasn't looking for direct sales. More like a home office, data or phone service. Seeing that there were none available, I then started researching direct sales. After a few weeks of thorough research, I found my best chance at making this work as a career would be with Perfectly Posh. Soon after signing up I made sales before I even had my kit from a few coworkers and family. However, a month later is when we moved on Post, myself just as a guest with my, then, fiance  now husband. Since we were not married I was unable to apply for a vendor’s permit, which limited my advertising and selling, therefore stunting the growth of my business.

However, things have really picked up since February, when I acquired my vendors permit to run a home business on post (we married in November but did not have time until after the holidays). In just a little over a month I've gotten orders from new faces, have quite a few people interested in hosting parties, a new recruit who is just as passionate about Posh as I am, and many more new and previous customers asking about new products, ordering and claiming a new devout love for Posh!

So, I would like to say that I can't really consider my start date with Posh as the day when I received my kit, but the day I got my vendors permit. I'm now free to advertise all I want, appear at events in post to sell and share.

Michael, my husband, HAD serious reservations about me starting a direct sales business, courtesy of his ex-wife. Though he has now even offered, on his own accord, to make a video of his testimony as a supportive husband of the Perfectly Posh business opportunity and prospective. :) I am considering taking him up on this offer.

I feel that just hearing him say this, means I am on the right path to making this a successful business. With him, and the wonderful people of Perfectly Posh, founders, support and peers, I know I am able to make this a serious and prosperous business sooner than later as I would have with any other more mature direct sales out there today.

In reading this, I hope you find the inspiration I feel every day I talk about Perfectly Posh, to start take the proverbial bull by the horns and be your own boss!



Thanks for reading and I hope you all have a great weekend. Stay tuned for info on what's special about April.
