Silpada Designs Jewelry and the Home Based Business Industry
Silpada Designs Jewelry has grown - from a small group of saleswomen in Kansas - by leaps and bounds since 1997, and is all across the United States, and now in Canada. The company has experienced explosive growth each year, both in sales volume and the number of representatives. So what is the appeal of this type of business? And why are so many women - and people in general in other types of direct sales businesses - getting into home based businesses?
Direct sales is a means to get a product or service to the end user or consumer. This distribution system relies on the services of independent sales representatives, which eliminates the need for and expense of a retail outlet for the product or services. The sales through this system are growing more and more each year, especially as uncertainty over the economy and job security seem to continue to increase. In direct sales, when people achieve certain levels in the companies, there is a sense not only of accomplishment, but also of control over one’s own destiny. It has driven a lot of people to explore this industry, and some to succeed beyond their wildest dreams, even those with no prior sales experience.

As I look around at our industry, it seems every successful direct selling company that has any longevity of note has become accomplished at clearly understanding and defining “what they do” and “who they are.” They have fashioned an identity, over time, that is exclusively their own.
This year, Silpada Designs officially celebrates its 10-year anniversary, a milestone of sorts. And if you factor in the five years that Co-Founders Bonnie Kelly and Teresa Walsh were in the field doing jewelry parties themselves “pre-Silpada” (then known as Cool Jewels), we might actually make the case that we’re 15 years old. Whatever the number, our company is still relatively young… adolescents, if you will.
When Bonnie, Teresa and I look back over the past ten years, from our basement beginnings to now—a company with more than 22,000 independent representatives nationwide—we understand we’ve come a long way but know we still have a very long way to go. We recognize that to eventually join the ranks of those many outstanding direct selling companies, small and large, that have survived and flourished for 20, 25 or even 30 years and beyond, we must continue to clearly understand and dedicate ourselves to “What WE Do” and “Who WE Are.”
But Silpada Leads Just Don’t Work, That’s Why I Buy Customers
Buying customers? That seems like a novel approach. Well, not really. It is just buying the rights to earn commissions on the purchases of customers. You do not need to buy Silpada leads and they don’t need to be called, emailed, or convinced to join anything. You do not need to keep them motivated with sizzle calls. They are already customers who are satisfied with the products, and as they purchase them you earn the commissions.
It is a very easy and no-hassle approach, however, and a growing number of people are discovering how they are achieving success with this business model. And there are no cold calls, annoying people with sales talk, or any of the rejection that follows. Because the truth is that Silpada leads will not grow your business.

Does Silpada Designs Jewelry Care About Service?
One of the reasons that two best friends started Silpada Designs was to provide the highest quality .925 sterling silver jewelry at the best prices. There are numerous stories I have read from satisfied customers, and one in particular stands out - here is an excerpt from it. Source: viewpoints
While I continued the search, I came upon an unexpected find in the Silpada Designs catalog. Here was the perfect ankle bracelet I had been searching for for about eight years. I had bought an ankle bracelet (again, black and silver) in Florida and broke it a short time later. And despite the fact we visit my in-laws down there every year, I have never found a replacement for it. Both times we have visited Acapulco, known for its silver, I haven’t been able to find the perfect one. I even went to a bead shop in New Orleans and had one custom-made. This lasted me for a few years until I broke that as well. Now I’m back at square one again, and here staring at me from the catalog, was exactly what I had been searching for all these years.
You’d think I would be content with that, but I still kept searching for the perfect necklace. When the party was winding down, I finally asked Lisa for help, and I’m so glad I did. She did in two minutes, what I couldn’t do the ninety minutes before. She found the perfect necklace for me, a three-strand black-beaded necklace accented with a few silver beads, a sterling silver disk pendant, and an extender to add to the back of the necklace to make it a bit longer for those plunging necklines, when I need it. I never would have thought of putting these pieces together, but it was perfect, and the moment I looked in the mirror, I knew it, as well as my sister and my best friend, as they both said, yep, that’s it. That’s you. I hadn’t met Lisa until that night, yet after just a few minutes of me explaining what I was looking for, she knew exactly what I needed and wanted.
But for a Silpada representative really to let people know about her home based business, she has to look beyond her immediate friends and family. To get the word out she may research various advertising sources. One of the more common ways that representatives may consider is purchasing Silpada leads. On the surface, it seems that leads will be the way to go. It seems that they are cost effective enough, and you can contact a lot of people all at once by e-mail, or you can contact them by phone. And the leads company said that people have been getting great results with these leads. . . STOP!! Let’s back up a bit.
Remember - the owners of the leads companies are in business for one reason: to sell more leads!! The fact of the matter is, those leads are not going to do you a bit of good. They just don’t work because they have already been sold too many times to too many other people. You really don’t want to waste your time with Silpada leads because you will not get favorable results.
Believe me, it’s not your fault!
The price may seem good, but when you start buying Silpada leads and see that you are not getting any results, you may think that it is you who is doing something wrong. So, you buy more and more leads, and the amounts really begin to add up. And all you have done is make the leads companies richer. When you think about it, even five dollars is too much to spend on something that nets you zero, and the leads cost a lot more than that!
Don’t Waste Money on Silpada Leads - Buy Customers Instead
Customers are the lifeblood of any viable business. So when you buy customers, you are buying the very source of the company’s revenue, and their reason for being in business. And of course, I like the fact that when I buy customers, I get a return on my investment each month.
With customers I don’t have to cold call people, nor do I experience the resulting rejection. And I don’t waste time and money on the phone or e-mails, with no results to show for it anyway.

How Does Silpada Designs Jewelry Stack Up?
In getting involved in a network marketing opportunity, some people jump into the first thing that they see, while others actually do a lot of research to see which is the best fit for them. Some women want to start a home based business for extra money - to pay off bills, or for a family vacation. While others want to have a full-time income from home. Two things that draw women of all backgrounds to Silpada Designs jewelry are the quality of the products and the fact that it sells itself.
Many women who had been in other direct sales companies are relieved that they don’t have to worry about delivering the products as might have been the case with other companies that they were involved in. “Since Silpada gets shipped directly to the customers, that’s a great burden off of my mind,” is a sentiment echoed by quite a few of the representatives. A major difference between Silpada and most of the other direct sales jewelry companies is the quality. Silpada reps agree that the difference is like night and day. Silpada is for women who want high quality, affordably priced items. Many of the women who have been involved in other companies have not found one that gives you such value for the price - even compared to the high-end jewelry stores.
And what a lot of reps like - especially when it comes to sponsoring new representatives - is that so many people out there don’t even know about Silpada yet. This leaves the field wide open for potential new people all over the country.
Buying Customers Is Much More Effective than Buying Silpada Leads
The means by which Silpada representatives sponsor reps into their downline varies. While some use networking as the primary method, what if you don’t have all the contacts that some other people do? In this event, you might think that purchasing Silpada leads would be a good way to go. In actuality, however, purchasing leads is one of the most ineffective ways to build your business. The only ones making a lot of money from this are the leads companies. And they are not just making money from you. They are making money from all the people that they sold the EXACT SAME leads to! The same leads who probably only gave their name, e-mail address and phone number because they thought they would be getting a nice free gift.
These leads are both way overpriced and way oversold. Here is a sample of what Silpada leads can cost:
25 Opt-In Real Time Leads $95 ( $3.80 per lead )
50 Opt-In Real Time Leads $188 ( $3.76 per lead )
100 Opt-In Real Time Leads $325 ( $3.25 per lead )
200 Opt-In Real Time Leads $595 ( $2.97 per lead )
This is precisely why I buy customers instead of Silpada leads. When you buy customers, you don’t have to think about how to talk to someone based on their “personality color” - they can be dark blue, green, or bright orange. It also does not matter if it takes 500 people in your downline to reach $10,000 in income or if it takes 2,000 people. You see, these become irrelevant when you buy customers instead of Silpada leads. Besides, if you can’t sponsor 2 or 3 people - which, by the way, the vast majority of people can’t - how are you or your downline ever going to be able to sponsor even 500 people anyway? It is pie in the sky, folks. But purchasing customers is definitely not. It is something that is real, and you see the results of your investment every month in commissions paid to you.
The concept is really quite simple, but more importantly, it works - for a lot of people who have decided to build their businesses smarter. For more info, fill out the form with your info, or give me a call anytime.
