Shari Hudspeth Home Party Plan and Direct Sales Training Expert

“Shari is one of my favorite trainers in the direct sales industry.  I love her energetic and positive attitude.  She has helped countless leaders in my organization achieve leadership.  She has also coached me personally and helped me become a better leader.  Thank you Shari for all of your training and support!  You are amazing!” – Jenny Hillenburg, Senior Executive Director, Thirty-One Gifts

“I attended the Rally in VA in February needing a spark for my business. I had not recruited anyone at that point since the previous summer. I purchased the Party Cards and the Dice Game at Rally. I studied them and began to use both right away. I had 1 recruit before February ended, 3 recruits in March, 1 in April and 1 so far for May (2 more planning to join this weekend). I was skeptical about the Party Cards at first, but they have helped me achieve some amazing results. And with the Dice Game I am averaging at least 2 bookings per show! One lady joined because she said it looked so easy she thought she could do it and even do it better than me. She was the top seller her first month in! I am on track to not only promote to Unit Manager in the next couple of months, but I’m also on track to win a trip to Punta Cana next year! Thank you Shari for your dynamic training and for all you do to help others grow great businesses.” - Marlene Swanson, Lia Sophia

Thank you Shari! I loved your training at Rally in February and we have been using the dice game - it has been working brilliantly. One of my teammates, Marlene, came straight home from Rally, has been using the party cards and dice game and has recruited 6 women and will be promoting to Unit Manager next month! So grateful to you! - Melisa Gaffney Esposti, Division Manager, Lia Sophia

“I just have to say THANKS! The first time I took your advice, I grew a multi million-dollar lineage that provided a six figure income for 14 years. It was life changing for my family. Following your plan again (from scratch as a new consultant) we’ve sponsored 57 people in 4 months and promoted 4 Leaders! I couldn’t do this business without YOU! Thanks Coach! – Cindy Carpenter, Director with Touchstone Crystal

“I have had so many emails telling me how the first call with Shari was so worth it!!  This is my second call series with Shari as well as owning her CDs and Shari's trainings are nothing like I have heard in my 12 years of listening and studying many, many trainers in the field! She is honest and to the point with ideas and topics that are above and beyond the rest!!” - Gina LaGalbo, Elite Executive Manager, L'Bri Pure n' Natural

“Shari, Since I have taken your "Off the Charts Success" TeleSeminar I am so excited that my two September recruits (who were skeptical about getting six parties prior to buying their kit), have over $1,000 in sales their first month! I am certain the results would have been different had we not followed your plan for success! Thanks for giving me the tools to get them off to a strong start!” Julia Slike, Director

“Hi Shari - just wanted to share that I've been using your dice game with your EXACT verbiage in combination with show cards for my shows and I am getting 3-5 bookings at every show!” Nicole Walker Division Manager – Lia Sophia

"Hi Shari, I just wanted to take a second to say THANKS!!! My Thirty-One business has gone through the roof in 2010. I give you and your great training a lot of credit for that. Thanks to your great training and mentoring, my team went from 9 in January 2010, to a whopping 168 in December!!! I had 34 personal recruits in 2010! I have promoted from Senior Consultant to Director, Senior Director, and now Executive Director, all in 2010! You are amazing and I thank you so much for your wisdom! My team knows that ---if Shari says to do it, DO IT!!" Lynn Pfost, Executive Director

“I rushed home to send this email, prior to starting all of my paperwork for work and school...I had a show today in Harrisburg (I scheduled it in November via a craft show with Mosel). I used Shari's Party Cards and it was a HIT!!!  These women LOVED the product, there were 4 that wanted to book parties, but SO MANY of them wanted info on becoming a consultant, that only 1 booked because THREE of them are 99% sure that they are joining up!!! The other guests plan to book shows through those gals then! Now, the woman who hosted the show did speak to me before about possibly becoming a hostess, but now her sister-in-law and friend, (used to be in direct sales), are EXTREMELY interested too. I know that Shari's training aided in this HUGE step forward and definitely impacted how I approach shows...oh, did I mention she has $572 in sales and isn't done yet! Anyhow, I just wanted to share how exciting these Party Cards are and how wonderful it was at my first show in 7 weeks! May I add that all 3 of those ladies joined and 2 of them have qualified already!!! Michelle Connatser, Senior Consultant

“I can't thank you enough for the amazing calls. They have really made a difference in my focus and my business. I have signed 3 new team members this month and should have 3 more signed by the end of the week. I have 14 parties for June - two will be handed over to the host who is signing this week. We are doing a training on bookings at our team meeting on June 1st. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and viewpoint with us. The changes in the focus of the party and the length of the party are going to be huge for me and my team. This has been an amazing experience!!!!

Thank you!!!” Jennifer Flores, Team Mentor, Tastefully Simple

“Shari I have said it before, and I will say it again, you are truly amazing, every piece of advice you have ever given, I have taken, and I have used it and it has truly made a difference in my business.  Thank you!!!!”

Tabitha Ebbert, Senior Consultant, Thirty-One Gifts

“Shari is real, her training style is direct and to the point. Shari shows she has fun at the same time getting the job done. She is truly inspiring and passionate about her business. Thank you for making our Soaring To New Heights conference a “WOW” at Epicure Selections!” Ora Rehm, Regional Sales Trainer, Epicure Selections

“Thank you so much for recommending Off the Charts Success!! The impact it has had on my business is amazing!! I promoted to Director and had over $11,000 in team sales that month, with over $15,000 in team sales the next month. I have even started to “Create A Desire for Leadership” with my team. The results are quick and phenomenal, I have 4 people on the edge of leadership all because of your training and support!!” - Jessica Powers, Director, GemStyle

“I personally have booked 2 shows so far on Facebook by chatting with people on the chat system that I never even used until Shari's training....also one of them is joining this month!!  WOW!!” Gina LaGalbo, Elite Executive Manager

I just wanted to share a little story with you… I’m sure you get a lot! There were 8 people in attendance at my party. We had a lot of fun with the Party Cards and the amount of interaction. I then played the Dice Game and everyone but 1 played including the hostess. Again, all but one traded her envelope to book a party and receive the grand prize. This was one of the best parities I’ve done in a long time. The sales were over $800, I got 5 bookings, 1 pending, 1 fundraiser, possibly 2, a shower AND a potential consultant! I’m THRILLED! Thank you SOOOOOOO much for sharing, I can’t wait to do them again!!!! Leanne Sintniklaas, Senior Unit Leader, Epicure Selections

 

“Working with Shari is such a delight!  Shari’s knowledge and experience of the Party Plan side of Direct Sales has been an incredible resource to our team us as we launch Ballymena! Our field loves the tools she has created to help them be successful right away.  Her training programs embrace the proven fundamentals of direct sales but with Shari’s fresh new approach.”  - Vicki Ray, Corporate Director, Ballymena

I just HAD to share my excitement with you! I purchased Shari's Dice Game and played it at my party last night. There were about 17 guest and 12 of them choose to play the game. I booked 6 parties, got a very HOT consultant lead, and the guests LOVED it! They were laughing and screaming with excitement. They were making ME laugh. The party sales were very small at only $600.00 but SIX parties & a new consultant is an awesome trade off. I will take it. The best thing about it is I had all these bookings to offer to my possible new consultant as a way of convincing her to give it a try for a couple of weeks. Who knew this was an awesome recruiting tool as well. I can't wait to play it at today's party! I played again and booked 3 parties, 2 from repeat customers that have never booked before. I am STOKED!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!” -Vicky Royer, Director, Southern Living at HOME

“I have worked with several different direct selling companies and the training I have received from Shari is fantastic. I have played many booking games and the results are no where near comparable to the dice game. I followed the directions step by step and booked 3 shows with only 4 people participating in the game, plus from a Friday evening to Sunday afternoon I booked 17 parties all because of the dice game. I will always use this fabulous tool to make my business grow.  Thanks Shari!! - Jessica Powers

 

“I met Shari at our National Conference about a year ago!  At that time I was looking to take my business to a new level and was exploring getting a personal coach to help me do that.   Shari has helped me take my business to places I never dreamed it could go and in a very short time frame.  Since I started coaching with Shari, I have personally recruited 40 people to my team and I am one of our company’s top recruiters and income earners.   My income has more than doubled and my most recent success is promoting to Executive Director, a title that only 8 other girls currently have achieved. Shari’s techniques are effective, simple to follow and my favorite part, easy to teach to my team!  My team sales and recruiting have been the highest ever.  She will teach you the WHAT to do, WHY to do it, and HOW to do it for every aspect of your business! As a wife, stay at home mom of 2 boys under the age of 5, and now business woman, Shari has really taught me how to have a balanced life through her Productive Priorities training!  This training along with the OFF THE CHARTS SUCCESS have truly helped me to become very successful while still enjoying QUALITY time with my family! Because of Shari, I am able to be a better wife and mother to my family, a better consultant to my customers and a better leader for my team! I am very thankful that God has blessed me with a coach like Shari who now is not just my coach but my friend!  Thanks Shari, you are the best!!” Martine Williams, Founding Consultant/Senior Director, Thirty-One Gifts

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! I BOUGHT EVERYTHING YOU HAD AT CONFERENCE AND IT IS SOOOOOOOOO PAYING OFF!!! TONIGHT... DICE GAME FOR THE 1ST TIME... 4 BOOKINGS!!!! (THERE WERE 5 GUESTS!) THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Helene Shaw, Senior Comfort Specialist, Jockey Person to Person

"Shari - you have truly inspired me to excel in my business! Your friendly, natural, transparent approach to people is refreshing and contagious! Thank you so much for not only offering the tools to help us excel, but the training to go with it! It's an explosive combination!" Christine Adams, Close To My Heart

“Hi Shari, I LOVE your Dice Game. My last party really just takes the cake. There were 12 guests (all but 3 played). I booked 6 parties, 3 sponsoring leads (one was the hostess).  Took outside orders over the phone before AND after the party (while still there)  and booked 2 more parties with those friends as well! I spoke with the hostess who was sitting on the fence and very unhappy in her new JOB, and told her what most worries people about starting, is booking the initial 6 shows, but since I had already done that for her she was all set and ready to get going. I told her it was food for thought and let her sleep on it last night. As you can probably figure out, she said YES!  She was overjoyed when I told her that I had called each and every one of her guests to thank them for coming, it was great to see them again, and that she is contemplating starting PartyLite for a new business and how would they feel if she did their party for them. Every one of them was so excited and wanted me to let them know what she decided. This, all because of a fun little game.... Hummmmmmm. Your biggest fan,” Arien Callicoatt, Unit Leader PartyLite

"I can't even begin to thank you enough for creating the dice game and sharing it with me. It has changed my business in an amazing way! Booking gatherings was always one if the scariest things for me. It caused me a lot of anxiety and stress, but now those day are long gone. Since meeting you and purchasing your Dice Game just five months ago, my calendar has gone from 1 or 2 gatherings a month to having my calendar full all the way to July... and it's only February!!! I train it with all of my new sponsors to get them going, and so far I've helped them book over 60 shows!!! SIXTY!!! I've never had less than three bookings since using the dice game, and I've had as many as nine from one show before. I'm thrilled to say, I now have the luxury of passing on bookings to my team members, which only strengthens my team and brings us closer together, as they appreciate my helping them to fill their calendars, too. Everyone in Homemade Gourmet is learning about this game, and it's always so much fun to hear them tell me of how wonderfully it works for them, too. It's so easy to customize, so inexpensive, and so much fun! With this game… EVERYONE WINS! Thank you, Shari! Your products and training are second to none...THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!!"     - Keri, Homemade Gourmet

I have had several trainings with Shari - have bought some of her matierials - excellent by the way - have taken advantage of several of her free conference calls, and am currently enrolled in her MasterMind group. I believe in what Shari says and thank her for much of my success. I would encourage you to jump on board with me if you aren't all ready.  Bev Jorgensen, Unit Leader, PartyLite Gifts

“Shari, I wanted to share my experience with your Jump Start your Business in 7 days program.  I started my seven days on January 9th right after sharing your program with my team at our January Kick Off Meeting-we all decided we would do your program together. What I found was it worked!! I stopped at 11 shows in five days because I scheduled 6 of them for the last 8 days of January and I got really busy mailing host packages, invitations to parties and coaching my hosts and had no more time to book shows. I booked 3 parties at my first January show so I did meet the 14 shows in 7 days timeline. I have been in this business for 7 years and I have NEVER booked 14 shows in 7 days. Your training was simple and kept me focused on the income producing activities I needed to do to get my schedule where I wanted it. Thanks so much.” Barbara Farnsworth, Independent Sales Director and New Consultant Coach, The Pampered Chef

“I just became a Unit Leader with PartyLite Gifts and played The Dice Game for the first time. I was so nervous, but after the first time, it was so easy and comfortable. WOW! I booked 5 shows (4 from the 'book a show card' one just because she had so much fun), in a room of 10 guests I was amazed! I already have guest lists back from 3 of them. This game is really going to change how my calendar looks and I will be teaching it to my team at my first Unit workshop in February. Thank you so much for all your SUPERIOR training... it does eventually sink in!Arien Callicoatt, Unit Leader, PartyLite Gifts

I have been using the show cards and the dice game.  Well, I had a show this afternoon. I used the show cards. I love those show cards! Your show cards cover so much from host benefits to the business.  I had a $1,400 show with 1 recruit lead, 1 signed recruit, and 5 bookings!  Wowza!”  Stacy Tennesen, Director & New Consultant Trainer, Pampered Chef

“I've been in direct sales for over 17 years but, with my current company a year. I love what I do and have always had fun and done ok with getting bookings at shows but, the percentage rate was always low. No matter what I tried, I couldn't come up with a way to better my bookings. Then I found Shari and the DICE GAME! I listened to her phone call, took great notes and then tried it my next show. I didn't mix anything up and did it by the book. I got 10 bookings my first show! 100% booking rate! My next 4 shows I have had 100% booking rates! The dice game has taken my calendar and filled it up like I have always wanted it to be! Thank you Shari for teaching me the dice game and for getting my business up and running like never before!!  DawnMarie Steinmetz, Director, GemStyle

“I wanted to take a moment to let you know my success with the Dice game. I have heard you and many of the leaders and consultants on our team talk about the dice game. I have always thought, "that won't work for me," or, I have been to scared to try it, but yesterday I changed my way of thinking and said if it is working for other's then it can work for me. I knew that I had a large group of guests coming to this party and this will be a great opportunity to give the dice a chance. I had 9 guests including the hostess and all but 3 played. I got 4 bookings and did not give away the grand prize. One guest booked even though see won a prize. Everyone loved the game and it was so easy. I have listened to many of your calls and I believe you have allowed me to see the confidence in myself to go for it. Thanks for always inspiring us to go for it. We have nothing to lose. Lisa Pevey, PartyLite Candles and Gifts

“This is the first time I have worked in direct sales. I bought your Dice Game and Show Cards just after hearing you on a conference call a couple months ago for Thirty-One. I have been using the Show Cards since then and really enjoy them. I was excited about the Dice Game, but when it came to playing it at a party I was a little leery. But, finally I played it at my last 2 parties, this past Thursday and Friday. I got 4 bookings from each party! That is 8 bookings in two days! I am so excited! I can't help but wonder,  “why did I wait so long.” I would have a booked calendar for January, February, and March! Thanks Shari!” Brandie Johnson, Consultant, Thirty-One Gifts

“Shari is so enthusiastic and gives practical tips to increase your business, now and into the future.”

Susan Yeager, Independent Representative, Sensaria Natural Bodycare

“I want to Thank you for motivating me at convention. I always thought of myself as a "recruiter" instead of a sales person. I love recruiting and I am very successful at it so I would do a few shows here and there but I never really tried to fill my calendar. Anyway, when I heard your challenge I made it my goal to book 8 shows and I did it! I am still so excited about it! I stepped out of my box and asked people to book shows and they said yes. I have been with PPSC for 5 years and my largest sales month was last month! I did it! You really changed my whole outlook. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.” Jen Marchand Picture Perfect Scrapbook Company

“I found you through the DSWA and I'm SO GLAD I did! I've ordered the Dice Game and Show Cards and enjoy using them. However, the NUMBER ONE thing I would recommend to ANY ONE wanting to really take their business to a new level is the OFF THE CHARTS SUCCESS series! Within just a few minutes of listening I knew that this is what I've been looking for in Leadership Training for over 4 years. It is simple, duplicatable and SUCCESSFUL. Having shared some of the principles on Productive Priorities and Leadership Development with my top leaders, they are excited at the possibility of having a successful LIFE in their business. With a 20 to 25 hour work week plan, they are expectant and hopeful of enjoying all of the best of their business and their personal life. I'm so glad that I was led to you and I will be ordering more of your programs. I wish I'd found you years ago.” Donna Woolam, Vantel Pearls

I am so glad you have started your Average to Excellence to help others succeed !! I think there are probably hundreds who would offer a quote of how you have helped them grow professionally and personally. Right now my focus is "Critical Contacts" I remember your training years ago when I attended a workshop you were presenting and you gave us all the example and process of setting up our own Critical contact list. I knew how important it was but have to admit I never really took it all the way. I recently ordered the kit from you. It did me absolutely no good for the first 3 weeks - amazing isn't it? I received it - put it on the shelf - and nothing happened! :-) I have now removed it from the shelf, about 2 weeks ago - have it active and it is part of my daily life. It is one of the best tools I have ever had. I just open it up and there it is - my plan for success!! I am so thankful for it and want you to know that you should get ready for orders cause I am telling everyone I know. Actually will be using it to train at my workshop tomorrow night and Barbie and Shonda have asked me to present it on our consultant conference call Wednesday. Thanks again Shari - you are the best!!”

Bev Jorgensen, Consultant, PartyLite Gifts

I've found the missing link in my business!!  After listening to your conference calls about productive priorities and maximizing this fall season, I can tell you in full confidence that my business is entering a new phase.  Last night, I had a party with 8 women in attendance (including the hostess), we played your dice game, and 6 of the guests booked parties!  Plus, I had so much fun using your show cards, that I can't wait to get out the door to my next party.  Discussing the products in this manner felt spontaneous and light, and I remembered to talk about everything without having to concentrate and be serious all night.  Finally, I'm having FUN at my parties again!  I am so confident that these tips and suggestions will launch me to the next level of leadership in our company, that I've set a goal to own all of your products within 6 months!   I wish I'd found you sooner, and yet, I know that this is the best time to be learning the skills you offer.  I especially love the verbiage you teach, and can't wait to own all of your CDs so that I can take you with me to every party!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

Carolynn Wain, Senior Executive Sales Manager, Norwex Enviro Products

“I was blessed to meet you and listen to you for several hours at our annual Picture Perfect Scrapbook Company Convention this year. You gave us a challenge to book and hold eight shows in September. While that may not be a tall order for some, it was a HUGE stretch for me as, at the time, I had nothing on the calendar for September when you issued that challenge. Still, I set my goal to accomplish the eight shows in September challenge. I am pleased to say that I DID IT!! J  I held 8 shows in September! I would never have even thought to reach for this many without your urging and fabulous information on goal setting, booking, hostess coaching and more. I also changed my home show strategy and began using your “Gift Bag Show” idea. It works WONDERFULLY! It is MUCH easier to set up, is very fun and interactive and the guests love it. I’ve also used the Dice Game successfully as well and have several shows booked  for October, November and December. Thank you for ALL of your training at convention as well as your excellent tele-seminars. I have been recommending you to all my team and always pass on your weekly tips to them.“

Stephanie Scevers, Scrapbook Supervisor, Picture Perfect Scrapbook Company

“After getting such concrete action steps about how to approach someone about the opportunity, and what to say, I feel I can leave here right now and start recruiting right away!”

Jodi Minker, Independent Supervisor, Sensaria Natural Bodycare

“I have used the "show in the bag" idea four times in the past month and I have had great booking results and even have recruited one more team member because she realized she didn't need to know everything about our products and that her customers would do the selling for her.”

Yvonne Deatherage, The Pampered Chef

“I’ve used the dice game three times now!

1 4 guests = 2 bookings

2 6 guests = 2 recruits

3 8 guests = 4 bookings—Woohoo!”

Darcie Kanouse, Independent Representative, Sensaria Natural Bodycare

“Hi, Shari, I, and my sister consultants, came away from our annual Picture Perfect convention totally PUMPED!  We have taken your challenge to heart, and we are sharing everything we learned with our team members. You are so right--don't say, "I'll try…!" Make a commitment and say, "I WILL have 8 parties." Several of my sister consultants are well on the way, and so am I. You gave us a completely different way of looking at our business… of working our business, and we are party’n hard at Picture Perfect!! Thanks so much!!”

Lynne Newton, Scrapbook Advisor, Picture Perfect Scrapbook

“Shari is an awesome person and a pleasure to work with!  She was definitely the ‘Picture Perfect’ choice as the keynote speaker/trainer at our national convention in August 2008. Our independent consultants were amazed at just how much they learned and the knowledge they would be taking home with them. We were excited to walk away with the new skills needed to take our business to new levels. Not only did we leave with so many new tools and the energy to make our business soar… we had a ton of fun! Shari is very positive and has an engaging personality. We had so much fun learning there wasn’t any time to get bored. I can’t wait to see the results of the gift bag show!”

Brenda Anderson, President and Founder, Picture Perfect Scrapbook Company

“Thank you for bringing me back to the basics of my business. I learned the skills needed to book shows and grow my team.  Your motivating words and your shared experiences have allowed me to maintain a full calendar while still enjoying free time with my family. Thank you for giving me the energy and direction to get my business fired up for the holiday selling season.  You are an inspiration and a true leader.” Lisa Pevey, Consultant, PartyLite Gifts

“Thank you so much for the training call last Tuesday night. I have been very encouraged. I ordered the Show Cards & Dice Game; this week’s specials. I also called everyone on my team to suggest that they listen to the call as well. Thank you again. Brandie Marie Johnson, Consultant, Thirty-One Gifts

“WOA!  This was my first time on one of your call.  I called in a little late but how inspiring Shari! I LOVED the party night ideas!!Thank you SO much for your time!  I'm getting ready for our Showcase, but you are definitely very motivating!”         Sylvia Poirier, Senior Unit Leader, Creative Memories

“Thanks again for such a fabulous training and sharing the Fast Track to Leadership with my team. This truly took me back to the successful basics of our business that you taught me long ago and which helped my entire team grow exponentially. It also reminded me of the prospective people we are looking for and who NOT to look for, which was valuable information for our Future Leaders. Your nuts and bolts training style is truly a business builder and money maker. Thank you!” Shonda Grandinetti, Senior Regional Vice President, PartyLite Gifts

“Shari, I had an unexpected conflict with a scheduled party so I took your advice and gave one of my bookings to a new consultant and it was a huge success all the way around.   The new consultant felt that I had confidence in her by giving her a party; it gave her momentum in those first critical weeks, it gave her practice, she made money and the hostess knew she was helping someone start their business. Thank you, this was a win-win situation!”

Andrea May, Group Leader, Private Quarters

“WOW is all I can say right now when I think about the Fast Track series we just completed. I have learned so much in the past few weeks and as Shari says, ‘I can be a doer or I can just listen.’ If you listen to what Shari has to say and really take time to digest it, there is no stopping your business. Thank you Shari!! I am so excited to get my business rockin' and rollin' with all the great tips and steps you have given us. How fortunate we all are that you have taken the step of faith and started Average to Excellence - such a great asset for anyone who chooses to participate. I also look forward every Monday morning for my jump start as I turn on my computer and start out my day and week with Shari's Weekly Tip!! Thank you Shari” Bev Jorgensen, Senior Unit Leader, PartyLite Gifts

“I have listened to all three from your last Tues. class. Actually, I have listened to them each several times. It is really good information. I like how you tell us WHAT we need to do, WHY, we need to do it and HOW to do it!! Tons of ah-ha's!!” Kathy Frantz, Unit Leader, PartyLite Gifts

“Shari's training tools and expertise in direct sales have helped me and my entire down line develop a perspective on our business that is very healthy. We now understand the meaning of consistent and how it brings balance to our schedules and income to our checkbook's.  We have learned that consistency will earn us every trip and incentive that our company offers too. Shari's tools for booking parties on the phone and at parties are easy to learn, practice, and teach. Shari's "Off the Charts Success" tools are for everyone and when practiced with consistency and the right attitude can take anyone to the next level in their direct selling business. Our recruiting numbers, numbers of parties on the calendar, and our booking attitudes are definitely on the rise after our training with Shari.”

- Doreen Stroud, Senior Star Director, Private Quarters

"Shari has brought new life to my business.  Her approach is very different than what I was used to, but I figured if she could build a $14 million organization in 6 years using the methods she shares in her 'Off the Charts Success' program, I knew it was worth a try.  I just started implementing it, and I've already seen the difference in my business and my team.  I'm seeing things like my new recruits light up and get excited about doing 6 shows in their first month - I didn't know such a thing was possible before!  Thank you, Shari!!" Saralyn Whitney, Tupperware

"I just wanted to share some exciting news!  I got 6 bookings last night playing the Dice game! I couldn't believe it! I had a potential recruit that was observing me too and she was blown away! She is signing up today and the hostess is thinking about it too! Now, I should give all 6 bookings to my hostess if she signs up right?? This would really get her off and running!" Martine Williams, Founding Consultant/Senior Director, Thirty-One Gifts

“Ok!  I had a show last night and it was a huge success again. The hostess is signing up this week and I was able to recruit 2 other girls for her at her party and her daughter is going to sign up too!  She also has 3 bookings to get her going!  WOOHOO!” - Martine Williams, Founding Consultant/Senior Director, Thirty-One Gifts

I did the show cards, (WHICH I LOVE!!!!!), and my host, (who has been to many shows over the years), thought the format was easy and comfortable as well as info-packed. We played the dice game, (I did it! Go me!!); results: 1 passed, 4 played: 1 prize, 3 bookings! WOW!  And the ones who booked, (one was the host), were really excited about booking.  Talk about amazing!  They thought it was fun!Christa DelSorbo, Unit Leader, Creative Memories

Hi Shari, I used your Dice Game for the first time tonight and I booked 4 shows! I’m so excited!”

Rebecca Bridle, Senior Consultant, Thirty-One Gifts

“I have admired Shari’s work ethic and positive attitude since I first met her 12 years ago.  She embodies what she trains on….a student of continuous personal and professional development. We all benefit from her willingness to invest in herself and others! She is a motivational and inspirational speaker, and has capsulated her years of experience in well thought out, logical, tried and true training.  Her career path proves that she knows how to help others get results!  As a coach, she helps you believe that you  can accomplish whatever you are willing to work for. She believes in the opportunities Direct Sales offers women from her core! She says her most endearing quality is perseverance, I believe it is her humility.  Shari is more powerful than she gives herself credit for!” Libby Comeau, Regional Manager, Simply Fun

“Shari Hudspeth helped me make a puddle into a OCEAN!  I had a few people working on my team when Shari started with me, and through her Fast Track training, helped me to get my team moving!  Her energy, enthusiasm, and WISDOM with the market place helped me excel, and more importantly helped my team to excel.”  Heather Whealy, Director, Do-Re-Me & You!

"I attended Shari's seminar on Fast Track to Leadership and loved, loved, loved it! It was the most informative and fun trainings I have been to. You could follow everything she was talking about with the workbook, and she made it so easy to be able to join in and ask questions. We were involved with the exercises and that really made a difference with me. I will definitely go to more of Shari's trainings in the future" Laura Jolly, Consultant, PartyLite Gifts

“Shari is such a wonderful coach. When I started with her I didn’t feel I knew what to do next. I understood the concepts and basics, but I had no plan and didn’t feel I was going anywhere. Through her support, encouragement and enthusiasm I have more confidence in m personal business and in working with my team. I have a nuts & bolts plan in place that I can share with my team ad that is duplicate-able for anyone. She has given me all the practical materials I need to move my business forward. Shari never gets discouraged or frustrated. She just continues to repeat the process as many times as needed to get the information into my head! As long as you are willing to follow her plan, you will see results in not time at all. I’m now having fun with my business! Shari, thank you so much for everything!”

Lachelle Yoder, Group Leader, Private Quarters

“Shari's conference calls have been so inspirational to me and I can already see my candle business changing in a positive way.  The moment I implemented her hostess coaching techniques I have not had under a $400 party and I love being guaranteed $100 or more each time I step out for a party. It also makes me feel good because my hostesses are getting a great free shopping spree, and some of them have even decided to start their own business. Thank you Shari for your amazing direct sales training and I look forward to attending many more in the future.”

Linda Hultman, Consultant, PartyLite Gifts

“Shari Hudspeth was the one element that set me on the course for huge success in my direct selling career. She showed me that people don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care. Her training and personal coaching helped to develop a team that earned me over $25,000 last month alone. I will forever thank her for building me into the leader that I am today.” Barbie Collins Young, Senior Regional Vice President, PartyLite Gifts

“Shari Hudspeth was a phenomenal hire! Within six months, our qualification rate for new consultants went from 14% to 58%, our consultant show average grew from $250 to $350, and our leaders went from holding 1 to 2 shows per month to 8 to 10 per month! In the 18 months Shari worked for us, our leader team grew from 4 to 38, including 4 Directors and 2 Gold Directors. Shari has the ability to analyze career plans, incentives, marketing materials, field communications and training materials quickly and offer keen insights and suggestions to improve them. She is an exceptional convention planner and speaker coach. Her greatest strength is her ability to move the field to higher levels through her training and coaching. Shari’s knowledge, professionalism and her 23 years experience in direct sales as both a consultant and as a corporate executive for several companies make her an instant asset to any company with which she works.” 

Michael Dougherty, Chairman & CEO Kindermusik International

“My mom wasn’t just a working mom. My mom worked harder than anyone I’ve ever met. And yes, it’s true, working mom’s come with sacrifices. But, through those sacrifices I was able to cruise the Caribbean three times before the age of 16, one of which included 15 of my family members, all of which were paid for by my working mom. I was able to have and show horses in competitive leagues all of which was paid for by my working mom. My sister was able to participate in gymnastics; all of which was paid for by my working mom. My mom was my role model growing up, and now is my best friend. She showed me what believing in yourself, dreaming big and persistence can really accomplish! I’m so proud of you mom! You are my inspiration in every sense of the word.” Jillian Rohr, Shari’s daughter and CPA, Starbucks, Seattle Corporate headquarters

“Shari’s training is incredible! Her down-to-earth sales and recruiting training is packed with useful information backed by years of on-the-job consultant experience. She knows how to create success because she has done it herself. She taught me how to use the all-important, “words to say” so that I could use her training immediately. The results have been phenomenal. Within 2 months of hearing Shari at convention, I recruited 6 new team members and moved from Unit Leader to Director.” - Michelle Rogers, Director, Do Re Me and You!

"In the time Shari and I  worked together my income grew from $1400/mo. to $4800/mo. in 5 months; $10,000/mo. in nine months, and  $15,000/mo. in just over a year! The most exciting part is, we didn't add 196 people to my organization in 18 months as planned .....we added 365 to my Director team alone in 16 months!! Plus all the new team members added to my organization. This is incredible!" - Martine Williams, Senior Executive Director for Thirty One Gifts
