Each month we will include an idea to help chapters grow. This month's tip comes from the Santa Monica chapter, who created their own monthly newsletter to send out via email to all members and prospective members of their chapter.

What a great way to share events, member news, and Team Women testimonials. This is also a good way to let people know what core professions your chapter would like to add as power partners.

To see the newsletter the Santa Monica chapter sent out, click HERE.

Great job, Team Women Santa Monica, and thanks for sharing.

Happy October Team Women !


I would like to welcome all of the new members and new chapters and welcome back many rejoining members! We are so excited to have you on the TEAM! We are growing and it is so exciting to see powerful women committed to growing hugely successful businesses and helping others to do the same.

The new business card holders have arrived and will be going into the mail shortly. And, yes they were worth waiting for. Very classy and contemporary looking and thanks for being patient. If you have joined in the last two months and do not receive your business card holder by the end of October, please let me know and we will get one right out to you.

Team Women has two booths scheduled in October. Team Women participates in these events to promote Team Women and market memberships in your chapters. This is one of the many ways we support you in growing your chapters.

October 20th is the Premier “PASS IT ON” Event which is being held at the Crown Plaza Hotel in San Diego. This event will showcase many of the experts from the “Pass It On” film, who will share their stories and their personal formula for creating inspired and successful lives.

California Governor and First Lady's Conference is October 23rd at the Long Beach Convention Center and attendance is expected to be over 11,000 women from all over California.

The tri-fold Team Women Brochures are due any day from the printer with all of the new information and a new look. We will be sending a supply to each Chapter President to use in marketing and promoting their chapters. The next marketing piece we will be doing is the Team Women Postcards and will send those out when we have them.

As a reminder, Team Women offers a recruiting bonus for referring new members who join Team Women. The program pays $25 for every three members you refer who join Team Women anywhere in the country. There is no limit to the number of times you can receive this bonus.

We are offering a Special Fall Recruiting Bonus Program. For every member you refer (lists you on their application) between the dates of October 15 and December 31 you will receive $20!

"Women really do rule the world.  They just haven't figured it out yet.  When they do, and they will,
we're all in big big trouble."  ~"Doctor" Leon of drleons.Com

With two small children at home and an itch to get out and do something for herself, Kristen Scott started looking for a business opportunity she would enjoy. After a few other attempts, she finally found WineShop at Home and hasn't looked back. For the past two years, she has been an independent consultant for WineShop and has enjoyed growing her business as the young direct sales company has grown.

WineShop at Home offers guided, in-home wine tastings that educate and entertain while making wine tasting parties fun, easy and affordable. They also offer a satisfaction guaranteed wine club, stemware, gift baskets, and personalized wine labels for business or personal gift giving. All of the wines are handcrafted, artisan wines and most come from California grapes. The business opportunity provided by WineShop at Home has been just what Kristen was looking for

"I have had the opportunity to learn a lot about wine and share my knowledge and passion with so many people while earning an ever-growing income and making a lot of new friends," said Kristen of her experience with WineShop. "The wines are delicious and change frequently so I have the very tough job of constantly trying new wines - I basically get to drink wine for a living!"

Regarding Team Women membership, Kristen had this to say, "I absolutely attribute much of my growth to the support of Team Women and its members. The most important thing one can do to grow one's business is to network and Team Women provides the ideal venue for me to do just that. I love that it meets every other week and the meetings are strictly one hour. That allows me to be home with my kids and do other important things while still providing me with a large sales force of women who provide me with qualified leads. I have also made some amazing friends through Team Women due to the relationship emphasis of the organization. I highly recommend Team Women to all of my team members and to any other woman business owner I meet!"

Team Women Recommended Book of the Month:

I have been an avid reader my whole life and always reply "reading" is one my favorite things to do.  Books have enriched my life in many ways.  My business success has been very much impacted by being a continual learner.  I love sharing what I have read and decided a recommended book of the month would be a great addition to the monthly Team Women Newsletter.  Let me start this process off with a quote by a man I am very proud to call my friend, Charlie Jones.  The first time I spoke with him I shared my favorite book quote with him which I said truly captured how I felt about life.  Imagine my surprise, when he said that was his quote!!!

"There are essentially two things that will make you wiser-- the books you read and the people you meet."
--Charley “Tremendous” Jones

The first book recommendation is "The Referral of a Lifetime" by Tim Templeton.  It is easy for me to remember the author since Templeton rhymes with simpleton and this book really touches on the basics of being successful in business; creating a network of people who trust and respect you and will refer you to everyone they know who needs your services. 

The book is written as a parable which always makes for very quick reading and this is definitely readable in a couple of hours.  One of the chapters is titled "It's Who Your Clients Know."  This is the whole premise upon which Team Women is built.  Inside referrals are great.  The key to massive success is outside referrals and those come from the people our team members know!

 Tim identifies a four step system to implement to create a lifetime of referrals.  Each is easy and doable.  To be successful, just like in all other things, you must take action on the steps consistently.

You can click here if you would would like to purchase this book:
The Referral of a Lifetime: The Networking System That Produces
Bottom-Line Results Every Day (Ken Blanchard (Paperback))

I would be happy to share your thoughts about this book.  We will also be creating a library of recommended books on the Team Women Web Site and would love to include your reviews!

"Whatever women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good.  Luckily, this is not difficult."  ~Charlotte Whitton

This month's networking tip is taken directly from "The Referral of a Lifetime."
 
"One wonderful way to get to  know people is though the magic of three simple questions.  The next time you meet someone new and have briefly introduced yourself, ask them these three questions:
 
1.  What is it you do?
2.  What do you like most about that?
3.  If you could start over, knowing what you know now, what would your day look like?
 
And the bonus follow-up statement to use whenever you choose is "Tell me more."
 
I guarantee you will make more friends.  You will be found more interesting and have less pressure and stress in your life when it comes to meeting new people and prospects."

 

Please make sure that Team Women always has your current personal information, such as address, email, website etc. It is very important that we can keep our records current.  Help us spread the news by forwarding this e-zine to your networking friends. Thank you for your continued support!
