Rep of the Month!-Jennifer C.-ON

Our Rep of the Month Jennifer has chosenBaden from our new Luxe Collection!

I can’t tell you how surprised I was to receive an email telling me I was Rep of the month. I have only been a Rep since last fall and that was kind of a last minute decision. Between my daughter and I, we already owned three of the four sizes when the Miche Rep in our small town moved away. Myself and all of her other customers were dismayed and trying to figure out how we would keep up with our Miche addictions! I hummed and hawed and then the very last day Sonya was in town, I signed up to become a Rep. It was a great decision and I love every minute of it! My Mom and sister are now Miche lovers and almost all my friends are customers! It doesn’t get much better than having a job where you get to play with purses with your friends.I live in a small town in Northwestern Ontario and the support here is phenomenal! I couldn’t do it without the support of my husband and especially my daughter. I am fortunate to see customers every day at work, the coffee shop, even grocery shopping. This makes it very easy to keep in touch with my customers and keep them coming back for more. The purses are so amazing that they sell themselves. In a small town like this word-of-mouth is your biggest advantage, so being good to your customers and going that extra mile is extra important. I have even traveled 95 km away to a neighbouring town for a party and have another coming up there soon. I truly believe the key to being successful is being willing to do whatever it takes to keep your customers happy.

Thank you to all of the Reps on the Facebook Rep page for your advice and help. Thank you Head Office for all your support.

Simply add Michelle Shell as a friend using this link below and we will take it from there!

A Tip from Miche!

Time to Get Organized

An important point to remember: We all have the same 24 hours in a day. Time management is really self-management.

“Efficient” means: performing or functioning in the best possible manner with the least waste of time and effort; having and using requisite knowledge, skill, and industry; competent; capable.

“Effective” means: adequate to accomplish a purpose; producing the intended or expected result

Key Point: The most fundamental principle of organization is to slow down and pay better attention to our actions. Mindfulness is the best organizational tool you’ll ever find.

10 time and self-management “secrets:”

1. The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing. 2. Doing more things right is no substitute for doing the right things.3. The best way to predict the future is to plan it.4. The key is not to prioritize your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.5. People usually only change when the pain of NOT changing becomes greater than the pain of change itself. 6. The road to success is not doing the one thing 100 % better, but doing 100 things 1% better.7. She who fails to plan, plans to fail.8. Insanity is doing what you’ve always done, but expecting a different result. 9. You can never have the pleasure of one choice and the rewards of another.10. The secret of great time management is simply this: “FIRST THINGS FIRST!”

My Priorities

My “A’s” : The right and awfully important things-things like selling, booking, Hostess coaching. recruiting and developing others.My “B’s” : The things I’d better get done, but not necessarily at this moment-things like customer care and follow-up calls.

My “C’s” : The things that could get done when I have time-things like cleaning my office.

Always begin with the end in mind. -Stephen R. Covey

Send your tips to info@michebag.ca. If yours is featured, you will receive your choice of either the Tyra or Sadie Shell for Classic Bags!

Do you have a Tip?

Kim C.-NS-A GREAT follow-up letter!

Good evening, Miche Ladies I just wanted to let you know that your Miche Bag orders/warranty items were processed and shipped today; they are scheduled to arrive on Wednesday and will be distributed to you as soon as possible thereafter. Remember, you don't have to be at a Party to order more Shells for your purses....just let me know and I'll order them in for you. Prices for Shells are: Classic = $25 for each Signature or $20 if buying three Shells or more ($5 more for each Premium Shell)Petite = $20 for each Signature or $15 if buying three Shells or more ($5 more for each Premium Shell)Demi or Prima = $45 for each Signature or $80 if buying three Shells or more ($5 more for each Premium Shell) Don't forget to join my Facebook group at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/120879047941/As well, you can also join the Miche Bag Canada Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/MicheCanada?fref=ts as they sometimes have contests. Cleaning and Storing of Shells

1. Don't fold Classic/Petite Shells up tight (trifold like), as it will eventually stretch the material and they won't fit the purse so well.2. Always take your Classic/Petite Shell off from the top centre of the Shell; if you pull from a corner, the Shell will eventually get 'dog-eared'3. Store your Shells (all sizes) as they come in the package (single fold) and then with the feet of one Shell (Classic/Petite) placed on the inside material cover of the second Shell so the feet of the first Shell doesn't leave a small divot (hole) in the second Shell.4. Store your Shells either in the packaging they came in or with a sheet of scrap booking paper between them; the humidity can cause them to stick and sometimes get what is called “colour transfer”.5. Most of the Shells you can just wipe off as they are faux leather; however, it is always a good idea to Fabric guard Shells that are material (especially white/light material) to help ensure they don't get stained.6. White Shells (even if they are faux leather) should be Scotch-Guarded as they can be prone to colour transfer (my new dark jeans left a mark on a bright white Shell I was wearing)7. Miche Canada sells a closet organizer for Classic (holds 13 Shells) and for Prima/Demi (holds 6) for $30; they are a good investment (NEVER pressure to buy) - just like people to know.

Kim C. from NS sends a great follow-up email after every Party! Kim has different "blurbs / templates" set up so that she never has to retype the content; this saves time and helps keep the message consistent. For more information on follow-up emails ask the expert-Kim!

Linda Says!This week, like thousands of other Canadians I am going on Vacation! Hurrah, sun here I come. I can't wait.... So really quickly: • Check out the new Miche Online Catalogue...I love the lifestyle photos!• Say hello to your fellow Reps on the Private Facebook group for me (separate from the public site) • Remind your customers who loved the Luxe Shells that the original collection has new lower prices and that we now have new fabulous styles to choose from! Now for what I am really thinking... What Miche products should I take with me this trip? Prima or Petite, wristlet or hip bag and which Shells? My mind is already wandering away from the business side of Miche to the fun, versatility of our bags!

I think I will take the Prima base with me. It is so practical while traveling. I put my passport and tickets between the Shell and the base...easy to find when needed. Inside the Prima I carry...just about everything; magazines for the plane, water, earphones, iPad, candies and this time I am going to add in the Carmel Convertible Wallet. I have a plan! Once I get to the hotel I will have the option of pulling out the convertible wallet and traveling around town light and fancy free.

Now that I have decided on what bags the next question is what Shells...hmmm let me think of my options: Harmony because I am proud to be Canadian, Delilah for the Beach (lots of pockets). Grace for the sun, Sienna for around town (love that it converts to a backpack) and for the evening perhaps Hilary, Melanie, or Amanda? Enjoy your March break, talk to you soon!
