How to earn MONEY with Stella & Dot

2011-11-13T11:15:00.000-07:00

Stella & Dot Compensation Plan

Let's talk about our compensation plan! I have previous leadership experience with 2 other direct sales companies & I am so excited to tell you that s&d has the most phenominal & profitable plan I have ever seen!! Let me share some details with you:

Commission: From day one all the way up the ranks to Diamond Director within Stella & Dot you earn 25% commission on each and every sale you make. The sale can come from an in person Trunk Show, a friend who calls you to place an individual order, or someone from out of town who you direct to your Stella Dot e-boutique. The commission is yours to keep or reinvest in your business. With Stella & Dot the home office wants to keep as much money as possible in your pocket so they pay for your Hostess Rewards they don't come out of your paycheck.

5% Volume Rebate With Monthly Retail Sales of $2,308

Jump Start Rewards: During your first 100 days, you can earn $3,000+ in FREE jewelry based on personal sales and an unlimited amount of FREE jewelry by sponsoring qualified Stylists!

Monthly Jewelry Booster: After your Jump Start Period ends, you can still earn up to $200 Free Jewelry a month.

Monthly Business Supply Credit: 5% of your sales once you reach $770: With Stella & Dot they want you to keep your profits In Your Pocket! You can use these credits to purchase more Order Forms, catalogs, postcards, gift packaging supplies, as well as some team building supplies.

Start a Team: If you choose to mentor others to become Stylists, you can dramatically increase your earnings in addition to earning commission on the jewelry you sell. You not only earn commission from your team’s wholesales sales, but you can earn residual income from the people they mentor, too. Because the more we support one another, the more successful we all become.

Promotion Bonuses: Obtain and maintain your new pay rank for four consecutive months and you can earn one-time bonuses of $1,000 to $50,000!

There are no sales minimums to maintain status as a Stella & Dot Stylist. However, in order to receive coaching commission, you must be ACTIVE, with 500 in PCV in that month (about $770 retail). This is the minimum amount to earn coaching commissions at the Stylist pay level. To increase your pay level, you will need to achieve and maintain a higher monthly PCV.

If you are interested in becoming a Stella & Dot Stylist watch this video it is really worth your time. Please feel free to email me (elise.lininger @ gmail .com) if you have any questions about the opportunity. I would love to have you join my team no matter where you are located in the US/CANADA/UK.

Celebrity Designer Series: Maya Brenner pt. 2

2011-10-26T15:11:00.000-06:00

My Interview with Maya Brenner

1) How did you go about making this career choice? What was personally important and appealing to you about this career?

As a child, I always loved stones and beads. I used to take apart my mother’s hippie turquoise jewelry and re-work it. I only viewed this as a hobby so when it came time to choose a career, I pursued a Master’s Degree in Social Work.

I was working with drug-addicted adolescents in NYC and started making jewelry at night to calm my nerves. I wore the necklaces and started getting stopped on the street with people asking to buy them and a business was born.

So, I guess this career kind of chose me!

2) What type of education did you have and knowing what you know now what route would you recommend for aspiring jewelry/accessory designers?

I’ve never had any formal training in jewelry design. I taught myself how to wire wrap and knot beads when I first started out. I did take a metal smith class at the YMCA but I didn’t love the tedious nature of it and enjoyed the design process much better.

3) What type of salary can you expect to make as a designer (or should we say jewelry artist)?
It obviously varies. I was making less than $30,000 a year in 1998 as a social worker and I easily made more than that with my jewelry business. But I was doing everything myself while working around the clock— so it probably came out to less than minimum wage!

4) What is your studio like to work in? (have a picture/video?)
I have a studio in the jewelry district in downtown Los Angeles that is the hub of Maya Brenner Designs. All the stock, shipping, customer service etc…is there. But unless I’m designing a specific piece or I have a meeting at the office-I mostly try to work from home.

5) What are the benefits of your career? What do you find most rewarding?
I love being my own boss and making my own work hours. I’m very proud of my accomplishments both in my own business and with Stella & Dot. It’s very rewarding to see people respond positively to jewelry that I’ve created.

6) What sacrifices did you have to make to have this career?
Being your own boss comes with a price. There were many very stressful times in my 13 years as a business owner. Balancing motherhood with running a business is always a challenge and there have definitely been times when I’ve had to choose and something always suffers a bit.

7) What are your main duties?
Designing, social media, decision-making…I’m fortunate to have amazing staff that do the daily minutia of running the office so I don’t have to anymore.

I know Maya will kill me, but I just have to share this DIY video with you!! This was made when stella & dot was know as Luxe Jewels. I love it!

2011-10-19T16:32:00.000-06:00

You may not know this but I used to be a jewelry designer, back before the internet age! My sister and I called our biz: PINK PIECES. Marketing our line was challenge because you really had to pound the pavement...I don't even know if I have any digital pics to share with you!

Honestly, the irresistible designs & easy link-ups thru social media IS WHAT ATTRACTED ME TO stella & dot! It is my perfect fit. I am a social networking nut & LOVE our stella & dot designs. I am fascinated with the design process & design studios where greatness happens. You can imagine my excitement when I was contacted by Maya's publicist to do a Blog Review!

One of the designers that have been pivotal, IMHO, in our success is Maya Brenner. What a doll! She recently asked me to do a review of some of her new designs, which she sells thru her website:

www.mayabrenner.com

I am so excited about my series on Maya!!!! I have an interview, jewelry pics from our stella & dot beginnings: LUXE JEWELS (a jewelry-making party biz founded by our s&d founder, Jessica Herrin), design studio pics & a GORGEOUS MBD BRACELET to giveaway!!!!!!

SOCIAL SELLING:
I have been in this industry for 6 years, I am a former teacher. I love the flexibility, the friendships, our company mission, the designs, the social networking component and the unlimited potential for earning BIG BUCKS!!! Trying to decide if this right for you?
1. Be Sure. Are you willing to 'work it'? Training is available, but are you willing to put it into action? No one can work your business, but you!
2. Sell Products You LOVE! You will be handling your products daily...you want to be smitten!
3. Time is Money. What you put into your business, is what you'll get out of your business! The Median Income is $2,400/yr... And the sky is the limit!
4. Start-up. There is an investment with any of the social selling companies. Check their return policy! (s&d is $199 to join, and includes $350 in samples, business supplies & half-price samples for your display...you also have a 1 year return policy-kit must be returned in new condition)

Five Years

2011-08-22T14:03:00.000-06:00

"According to Dave Kohl, professor emeritus at Virgnia Tech., people who regularly write down their goals earn 9x as much over their lifetimes as the people who don't, and yet 80% of Americans say they don't have goals. 16% do have goals, but don't write them down. Less than 4% write down their goals, and fewer than 1% actually review them on an ongoing basis."

Spring Couture 2011

2011-01-23T21:11:00.002-07:00

I love it. It is time to start thinking spring. Actually, here in MT, it might be a while... But I AM READY! I love to share the Couture videos. I have picked some winners for you!! The crazy thing is that you can really see these couture fashions on the street. Although they aren't quite as extreme! ;-)

Big Clearance SALE - The Children's Place

2011-01-20T09:41:00.000-07:00

(My bloggy-friend at MOODY MAMA, just posted this. I could have written it, as I feel the same, as a mom of 2 rough & tumble BOYS! So here ya go!)

One of my very favorite places to get my boy’s clothing is The Children’s Place. In fact I like the store so much that I have a credit card there! I have found over the years that the clothing from The Children’s Place is very well made and durable. With two boys who are rough on clothing it is important to buy clothing that holds up to a lot of wear and tear and you can find that clothing at The Children’s Place.

Right now they are having a great clearance sale with savings of as much as 70% off! There is no better time to stock up on winter clothing for the next year. Or if your kids are still in need of winter clothes for this season you can get some great deals right now. Another great thing is that you can always find Children’s Place coupon codes online for even more savings! If you have children and want to dress them in high quality stylish clothing this mama recommends The Children’s Place.

Birds of Paradise, modeled by Samantha - Stella & Dot

2011-01-17T17:14:00.000-07:00

What do you think of this necklace? I am head-over-heals, as I am sure you can see...I have featured it in 2 vids! It is called the Birds Of Paradise. Our Designer, Blythe Harris found the darling little swallow in a market & has been waiting for the perfect design inspiration! I think she has found it!!

Fearless and fun with brass chain, four acrylic bead-accented rosettes and a Czech crystal-studded bird.

Approximately 18½" in length with 2" extender. Lobster clasp closure.

Birds of Paradise

This look is completed by adding simple earrings. The Paradise Earrings are a perfect choice. So subtle, yet Fun & Fresh.

Paradise Earrings

Have you seen our new Essential Ball studs? These studs are made in Thailand and perfectly hammered. These are a great choice if you are looking to polish off that Statement Look! (gold or silver)

Sam is wearing the Bardot Bracelet in gold. Our Bardot in silver was such a HIT! Of course, we had to offer it in gold! ;-) It is very unique-you actually wind it onto your wrist.

Introducing our New Line Inspirations by Stella & Dot

2011-01-13T17:14:00.000-07:00

(via our Chief Creative Officer, Blythe Harris)

What an exciting week! Our brand new line was unveiled on Sunday to a VIP crowd of our company’s top Stylists. The excitement was palpable at our high-voltage runway show! Since this is our official “launch week,” I’d like to take a moment to share the inspiration behind our 3 collections that make up the Spring/Summer 2011 lineup. We are calling this season a “A Brave New World” due to its a bold, joyful spirit that is so Stella & Dot.

Our first collection, Destination Morocco, is all about a boho chic vibe, rich with textures and combinations of unexpected materials. The collection was inspired by a trip that I took to Marrakesh when I was living in Paris. I was really drawn to all of the filigree patterns in the architecture, as well as the rich layers of paint on the doorways in the marketplace. There is a trend towards the 'global eclectic' in fashion, which is all about mixing ethnic and tribal references with really sophisticated materials and techniques. The Casablanca Bib Necklace and the Revival Tassel Necklace are all about the juxtaposition of natural materials with more dressy sparkly materials - these pieces have already been shot by top magazines. Check out the Revival Tassel Necklace in InStyle magazine this month!

Next, we’re off to South America for our Viva Brazil Collection. I had the joy of spending my honeymoon in Brazil and was inspired by the spirit of the people of the country. It seemed every Brazilian woman I ran into exuded a sexy, self-confident vibe. You could just sense each woman’s bold, individual style. This collection represents pure exotic sophistication to me. It has bursts of bright, festive colors (and just the right amount of sexy!) that give it that wear-everywhere appeal. The Bamboleo Necklace is the signature piece of this collection and will be featured in InStyle next month. The Rio Coin group is perfect to wear over the bold, sexy bright clothing that was all over the runways this season.

Finally, we return stateside with the Palm Beach Collection. This collection is quintessential Stella & Dot: fun color combined with whimsical motifs and the perfect balance between vintage and modern. Don’t be afraid to wear these pieces with fun prints, like the Milly green and white strapless dress we showed on the runway with the turquoise La Coco Bead Necklace and Paradise Brooch or the orange and white striped tank we paired with the Birds of Paradise Necklace.

I hope you enjoy wearing these pieces as much as we’ve enjoyed creating them. You can preview the new collection online, but, really, the best way to see each piece is up close and personal at a Trunk Show. Don’t forget that we have our fantastic Hostess Bonus Days for the remainder of January – it’s a great way for you to get the look you love gratis!

Xoxo,
Blythe Harris

Stella & Dot Rio Coin Collection

2011-01-12T16:04:00.001-07:00

By far my favorite: Rio Collection from Viva Brazil!
I just love this (sorry vid might be loud, we were at Director's Conference in Dallas).

Also featured, the new hit for 2011: THE BARDOT HOOPS.

A little Q & A on Stella & Dot Jewelry

2011-01-03T20:41:00.002-07:00

Where is the Stella & Dot jewelry manufactured?
Our line is made in India, and the remainder is made in Asia. All of our jewelry is hand-finished by artisans. Where we manufacture a piece depends on many things - India is best for semi-precious stones and hand-finished sterling silver and 14kt gold vermeil, and parts of Asia are best for styles with a high labor intensity such as hand-knotting, casting, etc. We manufacture in the same high-end Asian factories that make jewelry for Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf's and Barneys.

CHARMS

Are the ear wire hypo-allergenic, lead and nickel free?
YES! The majority of our ear wires and posts are sterling silver or 14kt gold vermeil, those that are not are gold or silver plated.

EARRINGS

What Causes Silver to Tarnish?
The presence of Hydrogen Sulfide in any material that silver comes into contact with is one of the prime culprits. Touching jewelry after a meal causes tarnish. Wool, perfumes, lotions, hair spray and other cosmetics also cause tarnish. Humidity speeds tarnishing.

How Can I Clean Tarnish?
Ok- so, you're the girl who forgets to take off her makeup before bedtime, not to mention your necklace and despite your love of the Stella & Dot swims in your jewels. Come on, your charm necklace looks good with a bikini! Read jewelry polishing instructions carefully and use ones made for jewelry (3M makes less abrasive types). Some will provide protection from future tarnish. No toothpaste or baking soda - too abrasive!

Start your New Year with a New Business!!

2011-01-01T15:49:00.000-07:00

How would you like to Start 2011 crystal-clear on what your GOALS are? I joined stella & dot because it gave me the opportunity to continue to do what I am very good at! I love Trunk Shows, also know as home-parties, and I love teaching women how to do the same! s&d has given me the opportunity to stay home with my little kids, and now that they are in school, if they are sick or we want to travel, I have the Flexibilty to work when I want to work.

This picture hurts my eyes to look at! But, there is so much in life that gets in the way of our goals. The New Year always gives some time to reflect on the year past and the year to come!
Sometimes, all it takes it sitting back and thinking about what we want from the life we live! I want to be there for my kids when they need and not have to worry about 'taking time-off'. I want to build something of my own! I want to be able to take my family to Brazil for the World Cup Soccer in 2014. I want to earn a Career-level income on my terms! I want to teach women how they can do it too! I want to use the internet to leverage my time and get the very best ROTI (Return on Time Invested). Let your social connections work for you 24-7! I love that I can use Social Media to deepen our relationship with my clients and support my team!

Just check out some of our NEW Line Looks!

I love that stella & dot has made it so easy for the new stylist to get started! We have training that is rivaled by no other direct sales company out there! I am confident in that, as I have been successful with 3 different Direct Sales businesses. I chose s&d because I knew this was the career for me! I had found my niche and wanted to find the company that fit me best! I could just flip over our jewelry, which is funny because I never thought I would "sell jewelry at home-parties!"

We have such a generous Jump Start Period, where the new stylist is rewarded for her consistent work and investment in her business. I earned $4500 in free jewelry samples during my Jump Start period.

Stop by my website today, to learn more! I would love to help you leverage Social Media and get your business off the ground!

Retro Prim... Winter's Fashion Trend

2010-12-07T08:50:00.000-07:00

Retro Prim.

At first, I thought what?

But after some thought, I get it. Let me break it down for you:

Retro-
is a culturally outdated or aged style, trend, mode, or fashion, from the overall postmodern past, but have since that time become functionally or superficially the norm once again. The use of "retro" style has occurred from around the time of the Industrial Revolution to present day. (www.wikipedia.com)

Prim-
a. Precise or Proper
b. Straight-laced or Prudish
(www.thefreedictionary.com)

How does it cross over to today? Take feminine, vintage-glamour and add a modern twist! High-waisted skirts with a skinny belt... Gorgeous, shiny hair with a pretty brooch.

“Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events.

Small minds discuss people.”

Eleanor Roosevelt

Find your perfect Retro-Prim accessories with Stella & Dot! We sell vintage-inspired jewelry, perfect for the Retro-Prim Trend! Vintage-inspired jewelry mark the return of Feminine Glamour. AND... we just started a SALE!

Excellent timing for stylish gift-giving!

Deco Drop Earrings
Vintage Glam for Day-to-Night!

Lauren Bowles looks gorgeous in her Deco Drops at the Emmys.

If you need Gift Ideas, check out our Holiday Gift Guide.

I am excited to welcome you to join my Irresistible Style Fanpage!!
I am approaching 1,000 fans ~ so exciting!
I hope to see you there!

Aerosmith and Stella & Dot?

2010-09-26T11:29:00.000-06:00

OK - you will either think I am nuts or you will relate ... Aerosmith was one of my all-time favorite bands when I was younger. Another favorite was Def Leopard, aye-yi-yi! Who were your favorites?

So here is some current news on what our infamous Steven Tyler is up to (luckily, he hasn't fallen off of any stages-recently):

The producers of American Idol confirmed on Wednesday 9-22-10, after weeks of rumours, Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and pop diva Jennifer Lopez as the newest judges for the 10th season of TV's popular singing contest.

"I want to bring some rock to this rollercoaster and show if you've got the heart, the talent, the feeling to do this you could be the next American Idol," Tyler said when interviewed.

For all my Stylish-Horse Lovin' Friends & "Simple Housewives" ... Secretariat!

2010-09-25T10:30:00.000-06:00

"You're about to see something that you ain't never seen before!"

ooo! I am so EXCITED for this movie! I am a horse lovin' junky! When I was a child, my parents would take me to the races and I would save up my chore money to bet on the winners! There were many times I won over a $100! (of course, they placed the bets for me) It was a Charmed Life! I can't believe they let me gamble! I dreamed of being a trainer, a jockey, a breeder... I was madly in love with Marguerite Henry books, The Black Stallion, Black Beauty, the list goes on & on...etc... The story of Secretariat was one that captured me, as a child, and is still a 'some-day fantasy'! I love this this trailer and even spied some "Stella & Dot-esque" styles. Note the pearls...

Simple Housewives can do anything! What have you done, when few believed in you? I love inspiring women!

"This is about life being ahead of you & you RUN AT IT"

2010-09-04T23:19:00.000-06:00

"Do you ride?"

Horses, that is...This collection features French Romanticism with a Dressage-equestrian subtext. I love how John Galliano has woven equestrian detailing into the feminine ruffles of French Design because I love to ride!

I can see so much of our New Fall Stella & Dot line in this Video of the Christian Dior Show in Paris, during the 2010 Fall Fashion Week. Take a peek behind the scenes at this Trend Setting Show.

These are some of our new fall styles that I would pair with these Christian Dior Styles!

What is a Trunk Show?

2010-08-03T21:47:00.000-06:00

(question from my Fave WAHM site)

Hi:

I saw your post on trunk shows. Can you explain how they work? I really don't like "parties" but this intrigued me.

Thanks so much.

_______________
Hi Style-Lover~
Thank you for your question. I didn't like parties either! I love the SD style of Trunk Shows, very low-key, no pressure, no gimmicks to book or recruit. Here is a link, with some FAQs and videos. I love the personal service and time we have to connect with guests. It feels very genuine and comfortable. If you have been doing presentation-style parties, this would feel like a piece of cake!

LMK if you would like a Look Book and more info. I would love to share with you!

Pottery Barn features Stella & Dot -

2010-07-21T11:44:00.001-06:00

I love to spy Stella & Dot in every day life, of course as a stylist I have the jewelry tucked in my purse, car, bedroom, bathroom, just about everywhere!  My friends joke that I am always able to pull out the perfect accessory, like a Stylish Houdini!!!  So, how excited I was to see that PBT had included My Love in their recent issue.  I have always loved PB and it is my dream to have a PB-inspired home...if we ever buy our own, that is!

Check out page 55 of the new Pottery Barn Teen catalog (early fall 2010 issue). It features Stella & Dot jewelry draped on the Hang-A-Round Mirror. To the left of the mirror, you will see the S&D box and the S&D Stretch Medallion Bracelet!

The Stella & Dot pieces featured in Pottery Barn Teen are some our most Gorgeous Selections:

St. Tropez Necklace-on SALE now-SOLD OUT

La Coco in gold

Aimee Locket

Bangle Bracelets

Summer Soiree Bracelet

Stretch Medallion Bracelet

I have my eye on the Pottery Barn Beauty Station for storing my jewelry in my bedroom.  I love all of the drawers, hooks for necklace and the mirror!  

I am not sure what style I would like our room to be, soon we will be moving to Bozeman, MT.  I would like it to feel light and airy...with a hint of Key West or Palm Beach, winters in MT are loooonnnngggg, *cold*, and DARK!  I am already looking forward to my trip to FL to visit my team!

I just returned from Hoopla (our convention in San Francisco) and couldn't turn-in for the night without sharing some snippets. Hoopla was extraordinary! Everywhere you turned was another fabulous and inspiring woman (and a few men) with a phenomenal story. I feel like I am a part of something that is HUGE! Here are some pics of some of my favorite people on the planet!

My friend Terri said it best: "One of the wonderful quotes from Hoopla-- "A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous." Coco Chanel. Let me tell you--I saw a lot of classy and fabulous people at Hoopla.

The Bachelorette - Jillian Harris is adorable in Stella & Dot -

2010-07-14T12:41:00.000-06:00

Summer is all about TURQUOISE!! Jillian Harris from Canada, was my favorite Bachelorette. She is so sweet and funny and always stylish in her Stella & Dot. She wore Stella & Dot on every episode of the show. One of my favorite pieces, the Turquoise Sea Necklace is perfect dressed up, dressed down, or ready for a night on the town! It has a sturdy sterling silver clasp and is strung with reconstituted turquoise for the perfect POP of color!

Actress Debra Messing adores my Favorite Stella & Dot necklace...

2010-07-02T14:46:00.000-06:00

I love the Delilah Necklace! I wear it often & receive compliments all day long. Even the bank tellers at the drive thru comment on the gorgeous color. I am sad to see it leave our collection, I have owned it since I joined Stella & Dot over a year and a half ago. My darling hubby even requested I wear it for our family shoot!

I paired the Delilah with the Fringe Hoop Earrings (sterling silver) and a navy-blue ruffled top from the Gap.
