Sparkle & Shine with VIE at home!
The launch of VIE at home’s new product ranges at the newly opened five star Sofitel hotel at Heathrow turned into a chance to celebrate success with style! Held on the 19th August, over 800 self employed VIE at home Consultants and Managers qualified to attend the event, and turned up from all corners of the UK and Ireland.
The party started with Take That 2, and ended with one lucky Consultant driving home with a beautiful MX5. Along the way many Managers and Consultants were recognised for the hard work they have put in over the last six months.
By achieving set levels of personal sales, many attendees earned their Christmas Kit for free, giving them over £200 of new products to take home on the day. Others had achieved personal sales levels that allowed them to qualify for an all expenses paid holiday to Cape Town in March 2010.
With teams dressing to impress in colours for each region, it was a Christmas Party come early at VIE at home!
Attendees learned top make-up tips from celebrity make-up artist Lisa Valencia, as well as business building tips from Nadine Ward, VIE at home’s Head of Product Sales and Training. Guests were invited from their new International
Businesses, based in the Middle East and Spain, and the soon to be launched German market. Richard Berry, Chairman of the DSA also attended.
Training is a key part of VIE at home’s strategy and can be an area that is overlooked within direct selling. With a nine point Training and Development plan in place for all new recruits, people joining VIE’s business are able to get
up and running more quickly than ever, allowing them to earn money after just one Party, even taking into account overheads and the joining fee. On the back of this, more Consultants than ever are coming back to VIE at home,
and word of mouth is spreading quickly, leading to their biggest ever recruitment month in September, following the launch at Heathrow.
CEO, Ros Simmons said, “The atmosphere was electric! Our Consultants and Managers have been so supportive since we bought the business in January and their commitment to our business is just wonderful. With such strong people behind us we know we are set for a fantastic end to 2009, and we shall use this as a springboard for continued growth through 2010 and beyond. We are determined to live up to our slogan of ‘It Pays to Party’ and will continue to ensure we offer women a sustainable and viable income for doing a job they love.”
“We had such a great time - the day was fantastic. After 11 years, every event just gets better and better. One thing that we all agreed was we felt very proud, felt very special and part of a great new Company.”
“The feeling in our limo on the way home was one of great excitement and new goal setting - sipping chilled champagne and planning our futures, I simply love my job! This Christmas is the best - I can’t wait to get out and about
to show it all off and recruit, recruit, recruit along the way.”
“I said to a few of my Managers on the plane home…I don’t think we could EVER work in a business where we can ACHIEVE so much...and as Nadine so rightly says “WHAT YOU DO IS UP TO YOU.”
