I have a "9-5 day job," so I mostly work my Posh business on the weekends. I thought I'd share with you a typical Saturday as a Posh Consultant.
As soon as I get up, I hop in the shower. Posh sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner on my hair. Exfoliate my face with the fabulous Whole Lava Love volcanic ash exfoliator to exfoliate and draw out impurities, then wash with Pore-Fect face bar, loaded with tea tree essential oil to clean my pores. I exfoliate my body with one of our sugar scrubs (I have 4 different ones in the shower!), then wash with a {Chunk} bar or Posh body wash depending on what I want to smell like that day. Hop out of the shower, towel off, and apply a body butter to compliment the soap/body wash I used. Once I'm feeling pampered, I "open up shop."
next, then I take a look at how my team's sales are going. If someone has low numbers, I reach out to them to encourage them, and offer ideas on finding new customers if they are struggling, or to reach out to past customers to see how they are liking their products. If a team member is having a particularly
I like to check in with my customers who have made recent purchases to see how they are liking what they bought. If I've sent out samples in the past week or two, I try to check in with the recipient to see what they had tried, and to get their opinions on the products. Speaking of samples, I try to find at least three new people a week who have never tried Posh, so that I can pamper them with a few samples. Sample packs get put together, along with a personal note to the recipient about how to use the products, and why I chose those particular products (if they did not request specific samples), And package them up for shipping out on Thursdays. Why Thursdays? Well, There is a post office a few blocks away from the office where I work, and on Thursdays in the spring/summer/fall, most of the food trucks in the metro area here park a few blocks past the post office, so I treat myself to lunch after I drop off at the post office. It's my way of tricking myself into getting exercise over the lunch hour (it's about a mile walk down and back to the food trucks parking location). Sometimes it's tacos, sometimes a burrito, sometimes nachos from the Tex-Mex truck that has awesome hot sauce. Sometimes it's grilled cheese and tomato soup (gourmet, of course), sometimes broiled salmon sandwich with siracha mayo and hand cut fries, occasionally bacon mac & cheese from a truck specializing in fried fresh perch and gourmet grilled cheeses. And sometimes it's a veggie burger and hand cut fries from a truck specializing in "comfort food." There are other food trucks (Italian, Cuban, BBQ...), but those are the three I visit most often. Since I gave up tobacco just under a year ago, I've become a bit of a foodie, and seek out new foods to try often. I've been on a spicy food kick lately. Know of something I should try? Leave me a comment!
Once my team and my customers have been properly attended to, I focus on the other aspect of my business: social media. I plan out the week's posts - write a blog post for Monday (sometimes a few at a time if I get on a roll!), think about a possible Instagram (I'm @posh_megrich) post (that's one I'm still figuring out - I like words too much! Photos are harder for me), I think about Facebook posts for my business page, and I think about what kind of video I could make for my YouTube channel.
Once social media is taken care of for the week, I focus on personal growth. I have vast amounts of training available to me in my Virtual Office through something called the Posh Academy. There are videos there for new consultants to watch, and answer questions about, to earn Posh Points to use to purchase business supplies, and even earn free business supplies for completing 30, 60, and 90 day milestones. I go back and watch these videos from time to time. I learn a new trick every time I watch them. They have also recently created additional videos for long time consultants who might need a little "pick me up" to inspire themselves again, or just want to soak up all the knowledge they can from other high ranking Consultants. All the training videos are made by Posh Consultants! I like to watch at least one video a week. I have a notebook full of notes from the videos I watch. I have post-it notes on top of my original notes for the videos I have re-watched!
Oh, and I do all this while pedaling on my desk bike, so I'm burning calories while I work! (Yep, that's my Fit Bit on my sandal. It helps me get an idea of how many calories I've burned)
