A FASHION REINVENTION - Cookie Lee

YVONNE WOOD
Yucaipa, California
Spoil your hostess and make a production out of
her receiving her hostess gifts. Throughout the show
announce how much FREE jewelry she is receiving as
sales escalate. Create excitement so that everyone is
having fun during the show. Show them why it’s good
to be a hostess including the FREE jewelry and being
able to see their friends have fun!

I always had a hard time talking in front
of groups and never imagined myself being
able to sell any type of product. After hosting
my kick-off show, the response of my family
and friends to the jewelry was amazing and
I’ve been doing shows ever since!

I am really happy as a stay-at-home mom.
But, most of us lose ourselves in our kids’
lives. With my Cookie Lee business I have
found the old me and reconnected with old
friends, and I even think it makes me a better
mom. My three-year-old daughter wants to
sell jewelry when she grows up, too!
ROBIN BACkER
Linwood, North Carolina
I had friends and family in Cookie Lee that
tried to talk to me about selling the jewelry.
But one day I met Executive Director II Darlys
Bird at a fundraiser for a friend with cancer
and we started talking. The next thing I knew,
I was a Unit Manager II and had a bigger
family than I ever could have dreamed!

Some strategies that have helped me
achieve my promotion include keeping an
eye out for local events looking for vendors
and passing out catalogs to the people I come
in contact with. I also make customers aware
of jewelry sets and offer discounts to sell my
complete sets and discontinued items.

To be successful with this business you
need to be flexible with people. If they really
don’t have time for a home show, suggest a
catalog show or a show-on-the-go. Either of
these choices will allow them to take orders
while going on with their lives, and it will also
show them how easy this business is.

This business has changed my life
because I have made so many good friends
along the way. With the financial crisis
going on these days, everyone needs a little
extra income. This business gives me the
opportunity to make as much money as I
need for whatever I need it for!

Abingdon, Virginia
The money I’ve earned with Cookie Lee
has paid for all of my training to become a
yoga teacher, which is something I’ve been
dreaming of doing for the last nine years, but
never had enough time or money to do!
LORI CLARk
Walhalla, North Dakota
I loved the jewelry so much at my show
and couldn’t afford everything I wanted. So,
I thought earning some extra money while
modeling beautiful jewelry every day sounded
like something I could do. I overindulge my
hostesses and top customers and they spread
the word to their friends and family!
BARBARA CROWELL
Newport Beach, California
I joined Cookie Lee after my sister Executive
Director I Bev Veleber told me I didn’t have to
sell the jewelry I could be a personal shopper.
That appealed to me because I felt I was too
busy to start something new. But that plan
didn’t last long. I love sharing this business
and the jewelry with friends!
LINDSEY DIMEO
Beaumont, California
As a teacher, when summer school was
cancelled this past summer I thought I was
out of luck without that income. I knew how
much I LOVED Cookie Lee, so I decided to
sell it! By the end of summer, I had achieved
QuickStart in sales AND recruiting and built
a solid foundation for my business.
