New Consultant Task 9
Gathering the Sales
As you begin sharing that you have opened your own personal Mary Kay Business or Boutique the sales will start coming in rather quickly. Mary Kay is a brand and Company consumers love to support. They know the products are outstanding, the service is top notch and the impact on the community is positive - Their consumer dollar goes a long way. As a Beauty Consultant you need to be ready to start collecting sales and providing orders almost immediately. Below are tutorials and writing and processing your sales orders.
The Sales Slip
Below is an example of a sales slip. These sales slips come in your Starter Kit or you can order them on InTouch under Ordering - Section 2. I recommend you have a sales slip for EVERY SINGLE ORDER you process thru your Boutique Inventory! Trust me when it comes Tax Time you will be glad you have the slips.
Also, when it comes to customer follow up the sales slips is hard evidence of the sales and contacts you have made in a given time.
The sales slip has 2 additional carbons - the last carbon copy goes to the client so make sure you have written dark enough for it to be legible. The other 2 copies - 1 says Beauty Consultant (top copy) the 2nd say Customer (2nd carbon) you keep that one for your records too - the Customer only needs 1 copy and the 3rd carbon is fine.
When you have completed the transaction be sure and mark your top copy PAID. You will also want to implement a strong follow up system. This customer needs to be kept up with so you can ensure future sales and excellent customer service. There are a couple of options with this.
You can create two file systems - 1 by date and the 2nd by customer name. In the date filing you take the top copy of your sales slip and file under the corresponding month. This allows you to pull all your inventory transactions from one place. As you work thru the months you follow up accordingly. The most recommended customer follow up is: 2 days after sale or meeting - 2 weeks after sale or meeting - 2 months after sale or meeting.
In the 2nd system file the sales slip by customer name. This allows you to quickly reference or pull all the sales slips associated with that customer.
Customer Orders & Database Updates thru InTouch
As you begin working your New Mary Kay Boutique you do need to keep your client database up to date and be able to process sales. The video below educates you on adding customers to the My Customers tab on InTouch plus processing orders thru the My Customers tab on InTouch.
