I am honored to share my Magnabilities experience during my Fast Start months.
Why did I join Magnabilities? I had been following Magnabilities for several months. I found it to be unique jewelry that I’d never seen before. So after thinking it over, I decided for $50, why not try it out? I wanted to do something I enjoyed, which is jewelry, and start a business I could build upon for my retirement years.
When I joined Magnabilities in January 2021, as soon as I got my kit, I knew this was for me. I love the fact that you can change the look of a piece by simply adding a different Insert, adding a Pendant or Charm. Then I ventured into the world of Custom Inserts – I was hooked! I’d never done any jewelry designing before and found that not only was it so easy to do. Everyone who I gifted Magnabilities to absolutely loved it! They had a unique piece that was designed for just them in mind.
When I start something that interests me, I go in headfirst. I am ALL IN! I wanted to build a team and share with them the excitement that I have with all the possibilities Magnabilities has to offer, whether it was to earn extra cash or just add to their own jewelry collection. Once I told my friends, co-workers and family about my new venture and showed them the Magnabilities jewelry, my customer base started to grow quickly. Everyone was excited that they could customize their jewelry to fit them, and at such an affordable price. Once they got their first pieces and saw the quality and how beautiful it was, they were sold!
As for the Party Incentive of winning $1,000 cash, it was all about proving to myself that I could do this! I always try and push myself to go the extra mile. I am one of those people who always try to reach my goals. It’s that “Over Achiever” in me I guess! I love people and I love to talk…sometimes way too much! When I was a child, I had a nickname. Well, just suffice it to say it fit my never-ending chatter!! I was always talking; no one could ever get a word in. So Windy was my nickname and y’all know it now! (Thank you to Linda Gutierrez for this new word for me.) The party challenge was right up my alley. I love challenges. I challenge myself to be the best I can be every day.
How do I get customers to sign up a party? Well, I can be very persuasive at times. But really, when I show them what the jewelry is all about, and talk about the company, the founders and how they built this business, it’s pretty simple. The jewelry speaks for itself! Of course, the incentives are a big part of it as well! 😊
How did I get to be a Power Seller and Gold Consultant? Well, never did I ever think that was something that would happen in my Fast Start! I needed to build some inventory so people could see the jewelry and what it looked like first hand. Sometimes pictures just don’t do justice and I surely feel that’s the case with Magnabilities!
I learned quickly that some customers do not like ordering from a catalog – they like to see the actual item. And once they did, they started using my website to buy for themselves because they were comfortable with what they were buying. Some of my sales are from individuals who do not like to shop online for various reasons. Like my mother who, as part of the older generation, doesn’t like computers. She is constantly calling my husband to say her computer doesn’t work correctly! Sometimes it’s just a problem between the monitor and the chair, but I love her anyway!!! Or maybe people who are leery of using their credit cards on line. I became their on-line personal shopper!
Since this pandemic, I think people just need to be around people again. But some who are reluctant to have home parties like the idea of having an online party, or joining a Facebook party. I try to make my Facebook lives different every week. I have a “guest star appearance” every week, which is usually my husband (my rock!) who either dresses up as someone famous or puts on his many outfits and tries to talk in different accents because he loves to act, and it works! My customers look forward every week to see whom they are going meet! We both have a crazy sense of humor, so it makes us laugh as well, which makes our lives fun! My husband is my biggest cheerleader and for that I am so very blessed.
My advice to others: Work hard, play hard, but most of all, do what you love. If you love what you do, it will show itself to others. And always talk up your business. I do this with complete strangers all the time! I somehow find a way to incorporate my jewelry business into most conversations. I drop my business cards everywhere, you never know who may need a Custom Insert! I love Magnabilities jewelry and I really believe this shows in my conversations. Just the excitement of what new Inserts are coming out, or what new challenges are coming is what drives me every day. It’s exciting. So embrace the Mission statement – it’s how I want to live my life by being positive, making an impact on others, and empowering others to be the best they can be. It’s so heartwarming to have Founders and Ambassadors and the corporate support of Erica who support and encourage their member’s everyday. And having a great Upline that is second to none made my journey to this point so easy, because I had all the help I needed to get me started on my journey to success.
Last but not least: The sisterhood, oh the sisterhood… need I say more?!
Thank you Magnabilities for making your way into my way of life! And I’m just getting started, so watch out!
