Seacret CC Cream

My wife has been using Seacret CC Cream for a little while now and really enjoys how it covers her skin issues. The added benefit is that it has SPF15 which she needs to protect from further sun damage.

She recently decided to offer a photo testimonial. I think it helped to make a beautiful woman even more beautiful, but then I’m partial.

Notice how the Seacret CC Cream in the middle photo smoothed the differences in skin tone and reduced the redness making a great foundation for the make-up.

Feet are gross!

OK, true confessions. I do not have a foot fetish. Not even close. I think feet are really disgusting. There, now you know my innermost darkest secret. And, so, it is with reluctance that I post this before and after photo of my feet.

FootCream

I enjoy lots of time outdoors in the summer. We have a pool and a hot tub. That means plenty of time barefoot and in the chlorine. It does a job on my feet and this summer I had a cracked and bleeding heel that was very painful.

I used the Seacret Foot Cream with Tea Tree Oil every morning and night. Now, the Seacret Salt Scrub I was a little lazier and probably used it 2-3 days a week. The results would have been better and faster if I had more discipline. And, I still was out barefoot everyday in the sun and fun.

If you have rough dry, cracked heels, then contact me soon. Seacret is committed to your skin health. Yes, you could buy cheap products at a department store, but the ingredients cannot compare to Seacret. Why poison your body when you can improve the health of your skin with Seacret?

Quid pro Quo

quid pro quoI first heard the latin term “quid pro quo” as a high school student on the debate team. It loosely translates as ‘something for something’ or ‘this for that’. Later as a business owner, the concept grew into creating a win-win situation, which is always the best way to conduct business in my opinion.

It seems like the idea of the win-win gets lost amongst direct sales representatives for some strange reason. I think sometimes the reason may be that so many independent sales reps are so focussed on acquiring more team members and rank advancing that they forget they also need customers. Yes, we can attempt to gain team members, but when approaching sales reps from other direct sales companies, keep in mind that they can become customers without giving up the company they love. In fact, Seacret’s policies for agents strongly warns against attempting to convert other sales reps. (see Policies and Procedure, sec. 3.24) This is where quid pro quo can benefit your sales numbers.

I get approached by sales reps all the time from many different types of companies and products, including direct sales. Sometimes they lead with asking if I want to take a look at their products and sometimes I lead. Either way, I have decided to only create win-win situations because I believe it is the correct way to do business.

Life is not a one-way street. It starts with a basic mindset that if someone wants to sell me something and I have something they can buy, then I am happy to listen to their sales pitch if they are willing to listen to mine, and I will consider becoming a customer of theirs if they are willing to consider being a customer of mine. If not, then as a great mentor is fond of saying, “No big deal.” And, I mean that there will be no big deal. If you won’t listen to me then we have nothing to discuss.

So, with this new win-win philosophy up and running, anytime someone approaches me about their product line, I simply say, “Yes, I would be happy to hear about your products and your company if you will also take the time to let me explain mine.” This separates the professionals from the amateurs. Anyone who is too one-sided to listen to my sales pitch is a self-centered amateur and not someone I would want to do business with.

The same is true on the flip side. When I approach someone first, I begin by explaining I believe in the win-win situations and would be very interested in hearing about your products also. If there is a fit, and they have products I can use, I will make an effort to purchase from them. Does this mean that we will always find people who will buy from us and we buy from them. No, but if they won’t listen, then there certainly won’t be any business between us.

If you would like more information or some coaching on how to use this philosophy, please contact me. I would be happy to help.

What is an ‘Essential Oil’?

essential_oilsHave ever wondered what the term ‘essential oils’ means and where it came from?

Seacret uses over 25 of them in our products, so it may do some good to understand them better.

If I were a realtor…

If I were a realtor in New England, I would give every new male home buyer a gift basket like this one with a card that reads…

“Thank you for purchasing your new home with me. By the way, not sure if I mentioned it, but there is a new state law that requires you look and smell great while you cheer for the Patriots. 😉 Welcome to New England! Enjoy your new home.”

Why you should give corporate gift baskets

Flowers and chocolate are nice, but not very original. A gift basket filled with Seacret products, however, will leave a lasting impression. It says you took the time be thoughtful and to choose the highest quality products.

There are many great reasons why a business would want to send a Seacret gift basket to a good customer, and the most important reason is you want to keep them as a good customer.

Seacret Corporate gift baskets can be sent as a personal gift to the owner, customer, sales rep, or other valued relationship. They can also be sent to the office staff in general. Either way, they make a splash and keep you on their TOMA (Top Of Mind Awareness) which is key in keeping their business.

Contact me for ideas that will help you maintain raving fans.

Thank you to Renee K at Gifts Ready To Go for this great article.

Each corporation should utilize all the available marketing strategies in order to stay ahead of their competitors. In this case, your corporation can take a different approach and use creative strategies to maintain customer loyalty and promote their products through corporate gift baskets. You can use the following opportunities to promote your brand.

  1. Showing Appreciation

When you negotiate a major deal, and you come to a favorable conclusion, say thank you with a corporate gift basket. This will make your business partner(s) feel valued.

  1. Appreciation

When you present your business partner(s) with a gift basket, it depicts your kind consideration. It shows that you value their time, and you do not take them for granted. Giving corporate gift baskets to your business partner(s) will go a long way to strengthen the business relationship and the mutual respect between business parties.

  1. Apology

If you ever find yourself in a heated discussion with your business partner(s), the best way to apologize is through offering the other party a gift. In some cases, the business discussion can become intense, people lose their temper, and they might say something they do not mean in the heat of the moment. A gift basket will break the awkwardness later on.

  1. Birthday Occasion

Take the opportunity of a special occasion, for instance, a birthday occasion to appreciate your customer. Sending corporate gift baskets to the customers when they make a purchase is the perfect marketing strategy for creating customer loyalty.

  1. Employee Appreciation

You can motivate you employees by giving them gifts. This gesture will have its rewards because the employees will feel appreciated, and they will put more effort in to their work.

  1. Congratulatory Gesture

Send your congratulatory message to your client after a major achievement. Send the client a corporate gift basket to celebrate their significant achievement.

  1. Happy New Year

As mentioned earlier, the only way to stay competitive is to do things differently. You can ditch the conventional happy New Year gift card and send your customers tangible gifts. You can consider sending them gift baskets at the beginning of the year.

  1. Condolences

When your customers or business partner(s) have demise, you can send your condolences through a corporate gift basket. This will express your sympathy and show support during that tough moment.

  1. Employee of the Month

Reward your hardworking employees with a corporate gift basket. This gesture will make the employee feel appreciated, and it will promote teamwork in your organization. Furthermore, offering such gifts shows that you care about your employees, and that you appreciate their contribution in the organization.

  1. Milestones

When a colleague makes an achievement, the best way to celebrate their achievement is through gift baskets. It can be a retirement, anniversary or a work-related achievement.

Number 1 Complaint

No business is free from complaints, concerns, or critique. Seacret is no different. sorrysign

But, guess what the number one complaint is that I hear from customers.

“I absolutely love the products, but…they last so long that I don’t need to reorder too often. I would love to support you more, but I don’t know how you make any money that way.”

Seriously, I hear that at least once a week. Now, that’s a complaint I don’t mind hearing anytime, in fact, I heard it again yesterday from two customers and just had to write this. It means people are pleased with the value they receive and I couldn’t be happier.

So, what’s the number 2 complaint?

“The prices seem a little high.”

This is the comment I get, not from customers, but from people who are accustomed to shopping by price only and don’t understand value or quality of ingredients. There will always be people in the world who see everything at face-value instead of real-value. Seacret’s products last so long that when you compare them with similar products found at the cosmetics counter and actual usage, they are often the same price value over time or even less. All that with better and healthier ingredients.
