[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am glad that I found this thread. I went to a S&D trunk show about a year and 1/2 ago & then another this past wkd. I really love their stuff & their what they represent. I am thinking about being a "stylist." I am looking to do this for several reasons:
1. make it a business
2. I love to socialize
3. I love fashion & jewelry
4. I think time with women is important.
5. I miss working & having something for myself

I am not at ALL the pushy kind of person. I will ask my friends and family if they would like to host a party. If they do GREAT! If not that's ok too. I would never end  friendship over something like this...and like a poster said, if your friend is doing this...well then it's time to reevaluate your friendships. And this is coming from a mental health therapist.

People that can't say no...that's your own issue. Just SAY NO! Don't go if you don't want to buy it or be honest with your friend. And if your friend gets mad then that's their issue.

I'm excited about it all & I hate seeing all the negativity about it. I agree with the above poster, I don't think your business has to be pushy & I don't plan on running mine that way.

Cheers! [/quote]

I started as a stylist with S & D after CXhristmas.  I asked someone if I could be.  Don't have to work, just wanted to earn some extra and have some fun with it.  Never even heard of it before, just heard a freidn talking about her jewelry one day.

YOU MUST BE PUSHY or you will not make it.  I am not a pushy person, therefore, I have only held one trunk show in 3 months.  No one wants to book one, free jewelry or not.  I joined networking groups for women, where they want to sell you their product, but don't care about yours.  I have spent over 3,000 on sample jewlery in a couple months so I would have a great display.  I have worked very hard at trying to find bookings.  these successful girls have so many stylists under them, that is how they make their money.  Off of your hard work.

I do not know friends who would have a show for me, or even come to a show if I had one.  They are simply not ionterested.  None of my friends work (either retired or don't have to), so I cannot do any type of office show.  My best friend's friends are all on unemployment and don't have money to spend so she can't even have one for me.  Your sponsors and upline are more interested in how many new stylists you can sponsor.  How can I even think of asking someone to be a stylist, if I can't even get trunk shows scheduled myslef?  I have worked very hard at this to no success.  Now the summer line is coming out and I will buy more.   Basically, I am getting alot of neat jewelry for myself and for gifts at half off (just for samples) regular prices are 25% off, and then I will sell what I don't want on Ebay where many stylists are doing the same thing, and people are buying it like crazy.  Why not?

Please do not get into this scheme, unless you have lots of money to invest because the $199.00 kit is nothing and you would be embarrassed to display it only at a show.  It is a great tax deduction though, so hopefully my UNsuccess at this will lead me to a refund next year.  That's the only good thing I can say right now.  They do have support conference calls all the time, but if I have to listen to the traing person Danielle again for even 2 minutes, I would vomit.

They have jewlery that is just as cute and trendy on the auctions on FB.  I honestly cannot tell the difference between that and my S & D.  Don't let these pushy people push you into something that will not work unless you are just as pushy.  [/quote]
