Team Communication
ALL COMMUNICATION FROM ME WILL BE IN ONE OF TWO WAYS.
- The main channel for our communication will be our team page on Facebook. Here, you can access training, tips, tricks, updates, and connect with your teammates.
- I aim to limit my emails to no more than one per month. These emails will cover important information that I wouldn't want you to miss out on, especially if you're not very active on social media. They will include updates on incentives, training schedules, and more.
Perfectly Posh will not have a company wide Facebook group for business, but you can follow the main customer facing page for any updates they may post!
Most of our team training, barring any unusual circumstances, will happen twice a month on Tuesday mornings. I will publish the time and topic of the trainings as far in advance as possible. All training sessions will be recorded if you cannot watch them while they are live.

I just joined, Now What?
- Log in to your Virtual Office
- Spend some time navigating through the platform, feel free to explore without worry of making mistakes. Familiarize yourself with its layout.
- You will be given a 50% coupon code that will expire after 30 days. Use it wisely:
- Gather bulk orders from friends and family to increase your earnings.
- Create your personalized starter kit.
- Utilize the code: ADVOCATE for inventory if planning events, but be cautious not to accumulate excess stock.
- Customize your website:
- Include a personal photo.
- Introduce yourself on your site if the feature is available.
Announce your new business on Social Media!
- Have you shared the news on platforms like Facebook and Instagram?
- Have you set up your VIP group?
Consider having a private space on social media to offer exclusive discounts.
Plan your launch party
- Introduce your family and friends to your new product line in a fun way. You can do this through an event or by posting in your VIP group.
- Keep it casual; no need for a formal event or a script. Simply share the products you love. Using personal photos and videos can enhance the personal touch.
Business Basics
- To simplify, consider having a separate bank account without the need for an official business account, and you can operate it using your personal information. Always seek advice from a local CPA for the best practices. This will streamline your tax preparation, as every Perfectly Posh Advocate earning over $600 annually will receive a 1099 for tax reporting at year-end.
- Keep track of all your business-related receipts by organizing them. Create a folder in your email for online purchases and a physical file for all paper receipts.
- Utilize an online budgeting platform like Quickbooks, designed for businesses, or my personal favorite YNAB (You Need A Budget), to monitor your income and expenses effectively.
- Think about having business cards as they remain a valuable and cost-effective marketing tool, despite being considered somewhat traditional.
- Key to Success: Consistency is crucial. I aim to post in my personal VIP group every other day at minimum. It may feel awkward initially when there are no comments, but as you maintain a consistent presence, more people will begin to engage. I make an effort to limit the number of promotional Posh posts on my personal social media profiles, as my audience is there for friendship, not business promotions.
- Stay Engaged: With a brand centered on pampering, it's easy to engage with our business daily. Self-care is essential for everyone. Allocate time each day to connect with the products and prioritize self-care. Here are other ways to engage with your business daily.
- Participate on our team page
- Share on your VIP group or Social Media Page
- Follow up with customers who have recently purchased or tried a sample
- Explore a product that is new to you
- Dedicate time to understanding the products! Knowing about each one is crucial for addressing customer inquiries.
- Investing money in your business is not obligatory; you can still achieve success without it. However, if you decide to integrate this into your business, consider the following expenses. My belief is to utilize existing resources until your business can sustain itself - Reuse packaging received from online orders, sample products in person, etc.
- Fees for creating samples
- Costs for mailing samples, products, etc.
Setting your goals!
Everyone joins Perfectly Posh for various reasons, and that's completely okay! Whether you're here for product discounts – great! But if you aim to establish a robust and expansive business, here are some points to think about:
- Keep your goal in sight! Write it on a sticky note or paper and put it where you'll see it daily. The more we're reminded of our goal, the more motivated we are to pursue it.
To Quickly Reach Rank 5
- Here's a friendly suggestion: no matter the reason for joining Perfectly Posh, consider creating a strategy to swiftly achieve Rank 5. This achievement will double your personal commission. Reaching Rank 5 involves selling $1,000 worth of products. Although this target may seem daunting, we can work together to show you how achievable it is on our team page!
- Achieving Rank 9 marks a significant milestone, allowing you to maximize your personal commission at 30%.
- It's essential not to overwhelm yourself. Although this is a business, it's equally important to prioritize self-care and supporting others. Being too harsh on ourselves can distract us from our goals and diminish the enjoyment of the journey.
Resources
Here are some useful websites to keep in mind if you ever need them:
- GoDaddy: Use this platform to brand your website, like mine is Poshbutter.com instead of perfectlyposh.com/elizabeth. This is not required but.
- Lacons: Consider this site for creating your own samples. For most products, 1/20 ounce containers are suitable, while for scrubs or deluxe samples, 1/9 ounce containers work well. Check out this Amazon link for container options: https://a.co/d/jgXvbx8. The prices are reasonable if you're only purchasing a few packs.
- Canva: This user-friendly website lets you design almost anything you can imagine for virtual sharing or printing. Don't forget to label your products! For cost-effective labels, I recommend Rotek Labels. I usually opt for the return address size and include my name, website, and phone number.
- Notion: Write, plan, & get organized in one place. Now free for personal use.
