Erica made 12 phone calls the afternoon of the August Booking Webinar and joined me for the evening webinar with 5 NEW BOOKINGS!
Laura made 7 calls following the August Booking Webinar and got 7 NEW BOOKINGS!

Both of them used scripts they learned on the booking webinar! Are YOU READY to quit making excuses as to why you don't have as many bookings as you want?

And Liz turned lemons into Lemonade! "WOW Thanks!!  It was 10:00PM on the East Coast when I left you at the end of the webinar. As frustrating as it must have been for you....it was as exciting for me!  I really learned so much from the 2 hours with you. When I opened my office door, my husband said "You need to call Iva back tonight. She wants to cancel an order." I used the "Testimonial" script right then and there instead of asking why she called and I turned her around and got a booking! THANKS!!! I love that script. Keep up the good work."

"I do not usually write reviews or such, but I just had to take a few minutes to tell you Thank You from the bottom of my heart for the Booking Bonanza webinar! There was so much information that was absolutely Priceless!! I'm still relatively new to direct selling, and I've been consistently meeting my sales goals, but I know that with some effort and your suggestions I can go so much further!! I have 2 parties booked just since listening in yesterday, and I'm expecting a few more calls back this evening! And because of one of my calls, I even signed up a new recruit!! How Awesome!!
Thank you so much again, for the webinar and for all of the Direct Selling Doctor content! I feel so blessed to have found you and all of your information! You are truly a blessing to those of us who truly want to succeed!!"

Sincerely,
Amy Volkmer, Scentsy


 


I have most of your materials, and what I loved about this call is that you reminded me about some things that worked for me in the past, but for some reason have stopped doing. One thing is to use the open date card.  Also, I loved the script you provided for us to use to call and book with our hostesses. I need more excitement in my voice.  Also, saying the dates I have "left" is great as well versus "available".  You have been instrumental in jumpstarting me in booking and holding successful parties. Now I have to go back and listen over again to the info you just gave us, and I am excited to start using the tools you gave us, and fill my January calendar!

Thank you for the priceless information you provided for free! Jill Kasper


Thank you, thank you!!!! I was on your call the other night and I have got to say WOW! I implemented making those calls and offering the people I was talking to an opportunity for Free and discounted products. The results have been amazing. I have booked 4 parties. Those are great results considering we just moved here and I don't really know anyone. One of them is even at a community center of an apartment complex here where all the residents are being invited. Thanks again! Have a great day!

DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, HERE'S WHAT PAST PARTICIPANTS OF MY TELESEMINARS HAVE TO SAY!

"Karen!! NO no more bookings!!  Just kidding, not that I would not book a party given a chance, but ever since I starting presenting our Bookings program with your win/win philosophy from your calls and products. I have more parties than I can do this FALL!
LOVE IT!!  Thanks so much for opening my Dialog! My Income was over $1800 in commissions last month and tracking to be close this month!"

You are amazing Karen! I am so grateful to you for everything that I've learned from your CD's, DVD's & Teleseminars! I'm continually learning so much that I can immediately implement in my business! You help provide us with the tools and Triplicate Guest Lists to make it easy to get bookings & hosts to rebook! You help teach the confidence & fundamentals people need to have in order to be successful! I have booked 3 Parties and 2 Fundraisers just in the last 3 days simply by following your techniques! Thank you!

"Karen,, I just wanted to send you a quick note about the 5 calls for 10 days. I got a booking with my 1st phone call.  Wording it different made all the difference in the world!  She couldn't say no!!!! Cherry Harp

Karen: I recently had the pleasure of listening in on the booking teleseminar and it was outstanding! It was exactly the "shot in the arm and kick in the pants I needed to get moving again!" Every time I tune in to one of your teleseminars, I learn some new and valuable techniques and verbiage that I can use to motivate not only myself but to pass along to my team. It also gave me positive confirmation that what I am doing is right! You never cease to thrill me with your charm, wit and expertise. It is always so great to hear it "live" as opposed to reading a book. Thank You! I can't wait until the next one!  Sherry Steffen, Division Manager for Jewels by Park Lane

"Hi Karen, First of all thank you for your time last night. The call was very informative and motivating. So I got off the phone going, wow, this is great and I know it will work, however, I don't have anywhere near 50 people I could call. So, I thought well hell, I will give it a try, and call 5 people tonight and see where it goes, I don't have anything to lose.. I booked 2 parties, and I booked a party for one of our other consultants because I could not accommodate the date they needed. (already had a party) Because I did not have anywhere near 50 people to call, I offered a bonus gift, to my first 5 calls if they could come up with 3 referrals each within the next 48 hours. I got a call this morning with my first 3 referrals! Thanks again!! You are wonderful!!" Kathy Phelan

Thanks so much for the kick in the butt that I needed!!!!!!
Shelia Cuschieri


WOW! Karen, I have all your cd's and believe me it was nice to hear everything again! I am so fired up for 2009! You are truly amazing!!! Lydia Randazzo- Director, Southern Living at HOME
Karen, Thank you this was great!! I am a new direct sales person and was about to give up. You have opened my eyes to plenty of things I can do and use to make my business a success. Thank you!! Alita

Hi Karen,  Thank you very much for the AWESOME call.  I was not able to listen live, but I listened to the replay yesterday. I just forwarded the link to my 50+ team of awesome Silpada ladies because I believe very strongly that it is the BEST 1 hour + of training I've had in a long time. Again, THANK YOU!
 Warm regards,
Casey Sprague, Silpada Designs

 
This was an awesome call! Thank you so very much for offering this to us! Karen, you're the BEST! I loved this format, learned a lot! Thanks for the specials, also. Annette Locke

Here's what people are saying about previous calls!

 

This is my very first tele-call, I love Karen's emphasis on positive thinking and attitudes, I learned twice as much as I already knew about getting bookings! This is worth it! Genna Gallagher

This is my FIRST teleseminar with Karen Phelps and it DEFINITELY won't be my last. Her enthusiasm is addictive. I cannot wait to implement the tools I have learned tonight to my business. Nancy Patterson
I am so looking forward to making my 5 calls a day....I know I have not been presenting correctly at my show. Cant wait to do this! Sherry Norton-Williams

Karen Phelps uses many simple techniques in her telephone training seminars that help to clearly convey her wealth of valuable advice easy, makes it easy to understand, easy to remember and easy to apply to my business immediately. Karen is the only motivational speaker I know in Direct Selling who uses the strategy of the “Fill in the Blanks” handout. I love it because filling in the blanks keeps me engaged in the call, and makes training easy and fun -- almost like a game –- as I fill in each blank on my sheet throughout the call. It also makes it very easy for me to understand what are the most important thoughts, ideas and techniques I should take away from her call. I also enjoy the way she takes suggestions, comments and/or questions directly from participants via email, and addresses them in real time during her talk. Because questions are delivered via email, she can work her answers or comments into the rest of her material, at the appropriate time, without disrupting the flow of the call. Immediately after each call, I go back to her original handout and fill in the blanks on my electronic copy. This immediately helps to ingrain each important point even more solidly into how I think about and what I do in my business. Karen’s long and tremendously successful career in Direct Selling comes through loud and clear. Knowing that each technique and suggestion she shares has been tested in the field -- and found to produce reliable, successful results -- increases my enthusiasm to change my way of thinking about my business immediately, and the confidence that doing so will have a speedy and positive impact on everything I do.
Carolyn McGee Southern Living At Home

So as you can see, it is my desire to continue offering the BEST training to the most people so they can learn simple ideas to grow their own direct selling businesses. Please make sure you let your team know about these teleseminars so they can take advantage of them.

 

Thank you for another excellent teleseminar! Everything about the Booking Teleseminar was helpful, especially when you discussed overcoming objections, what to do when you have no bookings, and just how to get people excited about the hostess benefits! Thank you again! Cathy Tyhurst, Lia Sophia
Karen, I went Manager in my Direct selling business because I made the choice to be on the teleseminars when at all possible and then went to work making it happen. I also bought the Whole Enchilada, listened to them over & over. I shared them with my team and within just 4 months went manager!!! THANKS!P.S. I am taking the 2week challenge for how many booking @ 5 calls a day.
Sherri Aalbu-LaClaire

 

 


Dear Karen,

 Thank you for sharing what you know that works!  As a teacher, I am grateful to anyone who has the knowledge and the skill to improve the lives of others. Not just in this call today, but from your Ultimate Success Bundle, you have given me the verbiage and tone that I needed all last year and am so grateful to be using since November of 2008.  Our company has done an excellent job training all of us, but there is something about the way you are presenting and the words that you use that really speak to me.  They are easy things to implement!  Also, having you on audio cd to listen to as much as I want and whenever I want really makes a difference. Your teleseminar and Goal Getting Audio CD really help me to focus on what it is that I really want to achieve with my earnings.

Whenever a successful business person, such as yourself, shares her successes, I launch from where I am to a much better place in my life and my business.  Thank you for sharing with everyone so we all can be more fulfilled.  God bless you! Judy Campo-Sobota

 


Previous Jump Into January Testimonials

Hi Karen! Wow what a great teleseminar. Ironically, I listen to a teleseminar replay from my own company just before listening to you. Their call was good. But, man what a difference listening to you!  I had purchased your products before and used them for awhile and then like a lot of things I stuck them away. So now here I sit in December of all times with nothing up on my calendar. Why? I forgot to do the work!! You reminded me that I must work this business every single day. No excuses. Had I done that I would not be wondering how to pay for Christmas, etc. I hope you have a wonderful holiday and keep teaching us how to do the right things at the right times. Deb F

Karen: I absolutely loved the teleconference last night. It was like at Direct Selling shot of B12. So many great ideas were shared by you. I cannot wait for the next call. Keep up the great mentoring. You are turning my business around!
Christine Stalsonburg Gold Demonstrator Gold Canyon Candles

 

WOW!! I am a leader with a Direct Sales company with over 100,000 consultants. I personally have a team of over 120 members. I learned more leadership with this hour and a half with you than I did during my 3 day leadership retreat my company put on this past March. I have been feeling stuck with my team and in the level I'm at.
Heather Frigaard, Cookie Lee

 
Karen- YOU never cease to amaze me with your teachings! I had the honor to meet you at the beginning of the year in Chicago. You "WOWed" me then and still do. I turn each of my new recruits onto you immediately to learn from your teachings. I have developed a mindset that leaders are leaders to help others reach their goals not yours. Your teachings last night were right on target. The handouts are great, easy to follow and a great tool to our collection. Everyone should have one of your CD's, for they will get hooked! I have a new recruit on my team that has worked with you in the past and it is great! Please keep up the great work in keeping us informed on becoming the "Greats" in Direct Selling. Eat your heart out Jim Rohn- here comes Karen! Tammy Rainbolt, Gold Canyon Candles

 

The Leadership 101 call was fantastic! I love Karen's step by step explanation in a clear and easily understandable speaking voice. She is always so easy follow. I appreciate the handouts ahead of time to give us insight into what we'll be listening to. It's great to have a page to keep all of the notes organized and handy. The content is always helpful. And no matter how many times I listen , I always learn something new! It doesn't matter how long you've been in this industry!
Jennifer Scheidt Silpada Designs 

 

 
WOW!! Thanks so much Karen!! This tele-seminar ROCKED!! You gave me the "Kick in the Pants" I needed. This is my 2nd call with you, but I have the next one already on my calendar. Recruiting has really never been hard for me, but promoting Leaders is a challenge. I can't wait to use your skills to make a difference. Thanks again!
Mika Anderson ~Tastefully Simple

 
Thank you so much for all of your wonderful advice and personal testimonials. I have really struggled with how to be a better leader to my team. When I started my business, I pretty much trained and led myself since my upline never was involved in that capacity so I wasn't sure how much to help my own team. Your guidance has been so beneficial on this topic and so many more. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! I look forward to the next call...they all seem to hit the right spot!
Dee Goehring Area Manager Arbonne International

 
Wow! Karen's calls are motivating and provide the 'kick in the butt' we all need. She knows what works best for parties, team coaching and sponsoring. All we have to do is put the tools she provides in place and USE THEM! Watch my business grow now! Robin Latajka Gold Canyon Candles

 
I absolutely loved this Teleseminar. I really have to review what my leadership style is. You have a wonderful way of simple explanation. I will be recognizing my team in a different way now. I will be setting higher goals to maintain, no that is surpass my present Leadership status. thank you for all you do.

Hi Karen, I really enjoyed tonight's teleseminar. I have your Ultimate Success Bundle and listen to the CD's over and over. I always pick up something new each time I listen to them. I loved some of the ideas in tonight's call, especially the one for the Gift Basket. I will definitely be putting together a basket over the next few days. I also got some great ideas from your examples of compelling offers for summer bookings. Thanks for all the AWESOME information.
Sherri Stratton, Signature Home Styles


Hi Karen: I now have a clearer understanding about using the Open Date Card. I like your emphasis on putting only 1 calendar week on each side of your card! Your suggestions will be useful and I will work on implementing them this summer. I also didn't realize that I was using our Company's monthly specials as a crutch for me to use with the hosts and customers. I feel that the secrets you revealed in tonight's teleseminar will help me tremendously to get consistent bookings and sign up New Reps! Thanks for your enthusiasm! Elisa Williams, Demarle at Home
I LOVE all of your ideas to book parties. The way you manage to make a "real" question seem so silly and easy to solve. You have great advice and conviction in all your words. Not with a care to what others think. I am working to have that same conviction in my business and to pass it on to my team members. Patti Craig

Wow! Thank you for providing consistently practical information I can share with my team. Your Summer Scheduling strategies are going to work for me and my hostesses so we can all have successful parties this summer, where everyone wins! Thank you so much!
Karen Clark, Story Time Felts
Wow this was an amazing call ! I just got in from a party and can't wait to put this into place before my party on Thursday. The "Whole Enchilada" is great - I have listened to two of the CD's already and can't wait to do more... Watch me GROW !!!!!! Karen Meara, Athena's Home Novelties


Karen- What a great call tonight! You just get right down to the nuts and bolts of what we need to hear to make our own business successful. This was actually my first call and I absolutely loved it....my company also does calls but it was so refreshing to just listen to you because new ideas and new perspective. Thanks so much!! Danielle DeSmit
 
Gretchen, Thirty-One Gifts Thank you so very much sharing your expertise and knowledge! Since I have started listening to your calls and read your book "It's a Party Out There" I have doubled my team and have no problem filling my calendar with parties! Thank you!

 


Thank you! I am learning so much from listening to your teleseminars. What a blessing to have you teach us. Yours are the best. I so appreciate you. Jonnie Sorensen

 

Here's what they are saying about the
"Put Your Big Girl Panties On Teleseminar!


This was the first teleseminar I have joined and I am so thrilled to start working on MYSELF & my sales career thanks to you Karen. Was not planning on staying up for the whole 1.5 hours, but I could not tear myself away!! Barb Pitkin
I feel as if I know you and I look forward to each of your teleseminars.. Hopefully one day you will come this way and I can see you on stage. I have learned alot from your cds and these calls, thanks soo much!! I too did not like the booking games but after seeing how you did them I tried and it works! I use alot of your suggestions and I am working my way up to management...Kathy Kehoe

 
WOW! What an inspiration!!!! I cannot wait to receive my "bundle" but I am not going to just wait for it, I'm ready to succeed NOW, TODAY, right this very minutes! I never thought I would come away from the call realizing the importance of my health and getting myself healthy in order to truly succeed in life. It absolutely makes sense! I tell ladies at every one of my parties they need to take care of themselves in order to feel good about themselves but I wasn't listening to my own words! I am not only excited about growing myself in my direct selling business but also getting myself healthy again! I look forward to one day shaking your hand in person, Karen, to say Thank You for helping me accomplish my goals and dreams in life! Kym Andrews

About "Ask the Expert"

 
Karen, Thank you so much for sharing such invaluable information! I purchased your Ultimate Success bundle after the presentation pizzazz call and I listen to it EVERY DAY! The ask Karen call was fantastic for me. The questions you chose were excellent. I just promoted in my company yesterday (and I know you had something to do with it!), and I know that I gained some knowledge tonight that will help me maintain and grow my team! You are worth your weight in gold! I can't thank you enough for offering us such wonderful information. Thank you again, and I'm looking forward to your next call! Dianna Chou
Thank you Karen for taking the time to personally answer the questions that are most on the forefront of our minds! You are an inspiration and I look forward to receiving your Direct Selling Training Bundle and digging in deeper to my business and truly making it just that, MY BUSINESS! Brianne Collins, Southern Living at Home
 

Hi Karen! Thank you SO MUCH for your fantastic teleseminars! I am so grateful that for how willing you are to share and teach and train and coach. I can tell how much you believe in me, in all of us, without even knowing us! Thank your that. I just wanted to share with you my favorite parts of the seminar... which parts really stuck with me most: 1)If I'm being pushy, then I am thinking about myself, and worrying about what people may think or feel about me. I need to be excited about what I have to offer. Don't Ask, Don't Nag, OFFER!! 2)Talk about your Hostess Program in detail at least twice at your shows. IF YOU'RE NOT BOOKING, YOU'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT IT!! 3)INTRODUCE YOURSELF TO EVERY SINGLE PERSON THAT ARRIVES! I do, in fact, do this and it really makes all the difference. You make a quick connection and it means everything. 4)PRESENT YOUR RECRUITING OFFER AS IF YOU'RE THEIR BOSS OFFERING A FANTASTIC OVERTIME OFFER - one they just can't pass up!. I really believe that making someone think of it that way will make a big difference! What a great way to present recruiting!! Thank you!! And most importantly, what spoke to me, was that my motivation can ONLY come from within. I need to set my goals, reach them, review them, rewrite them, and set & reach again. Ok, off to listen to your goal-getting CD! :)
Karen, I realized listening to your call that I am my greatest enemy. I need to LISTEN and ask questions and provide solutions through my company. I have many people interested and haven't been sure how to conduct the interview. I now know that I can guide the interview with questions and I won't have to "sell" them on anything. Just point out solutions! Thanks! Cyndi Doyle
Wow!! You have given me the confidence I need to take off with my business. How to overcome objections, but most importantly to reconfirm that helping others achieve their dreams will ensure that I achieve mine. It's not about what they can do for me, but what I can do for them. Thank you so much!! Angie Hamilton

Thank you so much, Karen. Loved the definition of the difference between 'obnoxious' and 'contagious'!!! Also...thank you for reminding us to not pre-judge and to take ourselves out of the picture and focus on the person....their wants and needs. We loved having you in Dallas, Texas and can't wait for you to come back. I picked up so many good tips and am implementing them and seeing great results. Amethyst Jadet

 Listen to what Marilyn from Home and Garden Party has to say about a previous teleseminar
