So glad you decided to join me and become a Younique presenter…
Here are some things that will be helpful!
Fast Start
As a presenter the company offers a Fast Start bonus, to encourage building your team and your sales. You have 90 days from the day you sign up to get 3 presenters signed under you and $2000 in personal sales. If you do that, it means you earn $250(US)/$300(Cdn)/$300 (AU) in Younique cash and a Fast Start Charm. Younique cash can be used to purchase additional product!
How to Set Up a Party
Go to your Younique website à Login à Click on My Tools (located on the right hand corner directly under your picture) à Click on My Parties à Click on Schedule a New Party
*You must be friends on facebook in order for them to host a virtual party
**You also have the option to host a party for yourself. I recommend doing this once in awhile in order to earn your own rewards so you can keep a supply of makeup at a discounted price. If you ever order anything…make sure you do it under a party whether it is somebody else’s or your own!
Once you have filled everything out and have saved the party, an event is automatically created on Facebook. I prefer not to have my party be an event, but rather a GROUP. So…I delete the event and set up a GROUP. To do this you go to your facebook account and on the left hand column you will see a category labeled groups. You click on “create a group”. From there you follow the prompts given to create the group. I either have it be an open or closed group. I really don’t know the difference. After the group is created you must invite your host to the group. From there, you will need to notify your host that the party group has been set up and that she now needs to invite as many friends as she can. The more the better! In the meantime, you need to write a welcome post. (Pin this post so it stays at the top of your page.) Briefly explain who you are and what Younique is. Explain that the party is all online and that you are going to post info about the product for the next 3,5, or 10 days. Also explain and post the link to the host’s actual party. To get the link for their party, I always just open up the host’s party on the Younique website and copy and paste the URL into whatever I post in the party group.
Advice For Your Virtual Parties
1. Always ask your host to help you showcase the products to their friends!
2. Ask your host to be VERY ACTIVE in the party (tag her friends, post her own pictures, let her friends know what she is hoping to get, private message people, comment on posts, etc.)
3. You, as the presenter, need to be active in the party. Post at least 3 times a day. Throughout the party you need to post about each product several times. Tag the ladies you see that are on most of the time.
4. Always let your customers know what the special of the month is.
5. ALWAYS post your party link on each post... If your customers do not see where they need to shop they will not go searching for it and will not purchase. Make it easy for them!!
6. Show before and after pictures of YOURSELF!! If you are not trying the products out on yourself, how are you going to let your customers know how well the products work??
7. If you can play games in your party for a chance to win something FREE, DO IT!!
you can even send out a free sample of the eyeshadow as the gift...
8. Answer questions correctly. If you don't know the answer, ask your upline!!!
9. And have fun!!!!
During and After a Party
1. Make sure to thank anybody who has purchased from the party
2. Keep in touch with your host throughout the party. Ask them if they know of anybody who is interested. Make sure your host knows how they earn hostess rewards. Send them a picture of the Hostess Rewards Diagram and explain that 2000 points = $200 in sales, 3500 points = $350 and so on. Let them know where they are at with their rewards – this will keep them motivated and excited to help you sell more!
3. Post one time about the opportunity you have been given to work for Younique. Tell what it has done for you and offer to share more information with anybody who might be interested.
4. Post one time at the end of the party that you would love to have anybody else host a party for you if they are interested
5. Make sure your host knows that in order to use their rewards they can only use them on your Younique site. They cannot be used towards somebody else’s party. Also, they cannot use Younique Cash towards their half-priced items or to buy a presenter kit. These rewards have already been paid out. They have one year to use their Hostess Rewards.
6. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to send thank you cards with your business card to those who bought from the party as well as the host. This way when they want to buy more product they know where to go!
Just Some Good Things to Know as a New Presenter
Commission
· Your commission starts out at 20%. Once you hit $1000 in Personal Retail Sales (PRS) and hit yellow status it will be 25% always.
· You will begin to earn money off of your downline once you hit pink status
· Your recognized status will never go down once you reach it. However, your “paid as” status resets at the beginning of every month. The only exception is that once you hit yellow, you never go back to white.
· For now, you make purchases at full price and then you will receive your commission back within 24 hours.
· You are paid in a PayQuickr account every evening for any sales made in the last 24 hours. After you make your first sale you should receive an email so you can set up your account.
· After you reach $50 in commission, PayQuickr will contact you to set up a PayQuicker Account you can then link this to your own bank Account. A lot of ladies are opening an ANZ account as they can design their own cards, but that is entirely up to you. Younique are working on getting Australian Presenters their very own Younique Visa Card like the US presenters, hopefully that will happen very soon.
· You must sell $125 worth of products every 3 months to stay active as a presenter.
· If you ever have technical , order or product issues please contact customer support via your website or email [email protected]
· To check your current status you can go under “my tools” then to “my office.”
Parties and Orders-
· When placing an order, you should always order through a party. This way you can earn hostess rewards on your own orders or you can help your hostesses to earn more rewards.
· Orders ship as soon as it is placed- no waiting for a party to close.
· Shipping is $10 for up $99 / $15 for up to $299 / Free for $300 +
· We currently ship to all 50 states and APO’s in America, Australia and Canada, NZ is coming very soon
· You must be Facebook friends to set them up as a hostess.
· Include the party (not Facebook) link in everything you post. People from mobile devices and tablets cannot always click the party link to go shopping if you don’t. Anything you can do to encourage and make shopping easier will help you.
· The more excited and interactive you are on your parties, the better! People will feed off of your enthusiasm.
· I would not push recruiting or scheduling other parties until the end of the party you are currently running. We don’t want our hostesses feeling like we are poaching their guests. However, if an opportunity comes up, take it!
· Your hostess cannot redeem her rewards until the day after her party closes. She needs to go through your website to do it and she must be logged into her account. Any Younique cash or rewards you or a hostess earns will show up when you go to check out, after adding items to your cart.
· Younique cash cannot be used to pay for shipping or taxes or applied to any half priced items.
· Hostess reward redemptions do not count towards your personal sales or other party credits unless they pay above their rewards and half priced amounts.
Facebook Accounts
· Business Facebook pages can be a great way to spread the word about your business.
· Go to this page and click “Create Page” on the top right corner. http://www.facebook.com/bookmarks/pages
· I set my page up as “brand/ product” and then went under “health/beauty.”
· Your Facebook page name or image must say something about you being an Independent Presenter and not give the illusion that you are representing the corporate page.
Product Info:
· All mineral makeup is made from 100% pure minerals. No fillers, talc, parabens, preservatives, etc.

· My Office:
o You will be able to see/keep track of what you and anybody under has accomplished
o Make sure to pay attention to what the ladies under you have accomplished and let them know you notice what they are doing. Keep them motivated and let them know when they need to work a little harder or simply congratulate them. Everybody succeeds when we help each other out!
I will invite you to join some Facebook Groups (These groups have lots of helpful information and lots of resources for help and ideas! In these groups there is a section labeled “Files”. Here you can find lots of good information and ideas
You must order your business cards from the Younique site. Making your own is not allowed!
Organize
It would be a good idea to set up a folder (ex. All Things Younique) and have folders within it. These folders will help you stay organized. My folders include (Eyes, Face, 3D lashes, Lip Gloss, Brushes, Collections, Party Posters, Before & After, etc.) As you see things you like or want to use just save it to a specific folder. When I want to post about something specific I just pull up that folder!
I also have a folder labeled useful material. This is where I save all the information I gather about the company (Information for New Presenters, Policies, Style Guide, Quality Guarantee, Commission Plan, Games, How to Material, Hostess Rewards Diagram, Royalties Program Requirements/Rewards, etc.) *You can find most all of this in the files section on the POP.
***I highly recommend you use the product you are selling! It makes it much easier and you become more knowledgeable about the product. People will ask you questions and the only way you will honestly know is from experience!
