New Demonstrators

If you are a new Demonstrator, you may be wondering how to get started in the first place.

To jump-start your business, all you have to do is to find bookings and hold Parties. It’s easiest to contact people you already know -- people within your circle of influence.

Gold Canyon Debut

One of the best ways to get started is to have your own "Gold Canyon Debut" or "Gold Canyon Open House".

Here is an email for you to send to everyone. You can of course tweak it however you want, but you want to get the word out that you are doing this and ask for the support. Also, pick a date and schedule an open house. You just send out e-vites, etc letting everyone know you are having a kick off party at your home for a few hours and list the time. Invite them to stop by check out your products, sample all your scents, have some snacks and lend their support. Invite EVERYONE! Put a flyer up where ever you are allowed, at work, etc. When you think about it...you will be surprised at how many people you do know. This is going to be exactly what YOU MAKE of it. This is extra money for you and for whatever you want! :) The faster you get your orders the faster you are qualified and the faster you will have an extra $125 to help make the month that much better.

Ok here is an email you can forward TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!! Don't forget to add your contact info to the bottom

I would also attached the Current Monthly Customer/Host Promotions so that you can forward with this email and print it off as well. (these are in the Gold Canyon essentials website)

Dear Friends and Family,

As you may or may not have heard yet, I have found a fantastic new business that I am very excited about. Which is also a wonderful way to earn extra money for my family and still be able to be with my kids. I am now a Gold Canyon Candle Demonstrator.

If you have heard of these candles then you already know why I am so excited. If you haven't, I am positive once you try them you WILL be hooked. These are truly 'The World's Finest Candles' and I feel very strongly in saying you will NOT find a better smelling, longer lasting, quality candle for your money. So now here is where I ask for all your support. I would love it if you would take some time to look through the catalog from the links below and contact me with your order. Actually depending on how much you spend, you may earn discounts and/or FREE products too! In addition to getting great products you will also be helping me. You see as a new demonstrator I have a personal goal to sell $700 within my first 30 days. Your support and orders will be a tremendous help and very much appreciated. Please pass along to anyone you know, I ALWAYS welcome referrals.

January 1st (adjust dates and seasons if necessary) was the beginning of this season's brand new catalog and it is filled with tons of great spring scents, both seasonal and returning. Gold Canyon has also just launched a new product line called HOMEOLOGY. It is an all natural plant based aromatherapy cleaning product. It is wonderful. It smells fantastic and I can honestly say, once I start cleaning I just want to keep going. It makes the whole house smell wonderful, cleans great and its calming and invigorating all at the same time.

One last thing.....if you decide that your wish list is bigger than your budget, may I suggest hosting a party. You have the potential to earn tons of free product. I would love to come to your home, set up my samples and conduct and in home party. This will be so much fun. Just invite all your friends and family, put out some snacks and I will do the rest. I promise you it will be quick, easy and fun. This is a great excuse to get the girls together for some well deserved girl time, plus you will be helping me in so many ways. If you just don't have the time or desire to have an in-home party, you can still earn FREE product by hosting a "Party On the Go". With a few catalogs and a few scents, you can share them with your friends, family, co workers etc and collect orders and earn the SAME HOST CREDIT AS AN IN HOME PARTY!! Not to mention that you will be helping me reach my goals at the same time! :) So please contact me as soon as possible either by email or phone and let me know when you would like to book your party!! :-)

In the mean time, I can't wait to put my first order in!!

Thanks again for all your support!
