One of the many reasons we became Professional Organizers was because we had skills that were easy for us, yet others seemed to totally lack. Have you noticed though that while we’re great at the practical stuff, like knowing how to place items in a home or office for best use, that we’re not always great at the business end of our businesses?
There have been times since I began my business where I really thought, why does it feel like I am working so hard? What am I missing that prevents me from making enough or more than enough that I can grow my business instead of feeling like I can never say no?
Then I met Andrea Flowers of the Professional Organizer’s Toolbox. I’ve since joined her team, but I want to tell you why.
I am a techie. On top of being an organizer I love the feeling that I’m exploring and bringing to my clients the latest in whatever technical advancement exists to help them be as productive as they can be in their office or their home.
As a techie, that means I’m always downloading, searching for the latest; greatest thing out there. When I spoke to Andrea she said have you seen this on my website. You don’t have to look any further, it’s right here waiting for you in one place.
Now, at first I was intrigued. I went delving into the website and WOW! I was impressed. Tons of documents, all available as a member. Free giveaways, free, free, free. And as a member I can compete in contests. There are free things for non-members, but think how much you spend on things for your business. If you could find them all in one place without having to spend more each time you went looking for things, wouldn’t you join?
Like the greatest and latest contest where the giveaway is an iPod Touch that costs like $400.00. I’m sitting here going, and all I have to do is tell my friends to join for what it costs me to purchase a skirt at my local store? A year’s membership is only $129 after all and I will be entered into a drawing for the iPod Touch.
And then the affiliate program. Andrea has had this in place waiting for the current members to see the value. Well, the value has just tripled in my mind. Bringing in new members and know that I’m going to make a little bit on it too. I know that if you were to sit and tell your friends about the Professional Organizer’s Toolbox and they saw the value that they would join, if not for the wonderful tools available, then for the trainings, podcasts, documents, but also for the availability of money they didn’t have to work for.
Just this past week Andrea interviewed Paulette Ensigns, the Tips Booklets Queen! Phenomenal conversation as well as learning how to create seven products from information you have floating around in your brain! Also, if you’re not a consummate writer, Paulette offers the availability of being involved in a joint publishing of a tips booklet. How much easier can it get to make residual income without having to reinvent the wheel?
I just wanted to give you a little taste of what I experienced at http://www.POToolbox.com.
I hope you see the value and want to join.
