Rocket Start MP3 Training

Welcome Aboard!

Congratulations and welcome to Discovery Toys! Please read the information below carefully as it contains important training information.

I have broken the beginning process down into 10 easy steps. Follow these 10 steps and call me when you are finished and/or have questions. These steps should be completed within one week of signing up.

1. Register On Consultants Online

www.discoverytoysinc.com/eco.html

Click on the Registration link toward the bottom of the page. Follow the instructions on the screen. Your password is the last four digits of your SIN number.

Once you are registered your user name is 00200 followed by your EC# without spaces i.e 00200xxxxxx.

2. Register on E-Clic

Click on the 'I'm a first time user' option. Follow the instructions on the screen. Your password is the last four digits of your SIN number. NOTE: This is a separate program than consultants online so if you created a password when you registered on Consultants online it will NOT work in E-Clic. FIRST use the last four digits of your SIN and then change your password (it's okay to use the same password for both Consultants Online and E-Clic.

*** Do NOT save E-Clic to your favorites or make it your home page. This will cause problems when you try and log in.

3. Set up your FREE Website

If you are not already logged in, then log into E-Clic. Select Web Business Tools. On the left hand side of the page click on the "Edit Webpage" option. Follow the instructions.

Your website is FREE for 3 months. After that it is $19.99 US per month. You are responsible for cancelling your website if you decide not to continue after the 3 month period.

4. List of 100

This is a VERY important step to starting your business. It may seem a little silly but it absolutely works. Fill this list out completely and call me when you are finished. You should do this in your FIRST WEEK of the business.

5. Who Do you Know

Make a list of 5 people you know who may benefit from working with Discovery Toys. Remember, these are not people who you think are going to join - this is simply a list of people who in your opinion would benefit. This may be someone who hates their job, needs extra money, is a stay at home mom, wants to save for a new living room set etc.

6. Book your 2 Grand Opening Dates

Do NOT consult with friends for availability - you simply will not find a date that works for everyone. Choose 2 dates that work well for you this month.

If someone can't make it to the first party, your response can be, "Not to worry I've planned my second Grand Opening for ______ you'll come to that one right?" 

7. Vista Print

As you are now running a business I recommend ordering business cards and/or advertising materials. You can do this however you'd like. However, I really like the following website:

www.vistaprint.ca

This site constantly offers FREE business cards, address labels, stamps and other advertising materials. You only need to pay for shipping. Set up a free account on this site and you will be informed each time they have a sale. Never pay full price for anything at vista print - they offer new deals almost weekly.

I usually order the 25 FREE small magnets and use these as my business cards. This way people can put my business card on their fridge instead of in the garbage 

Answers to common questions when preparing business cards:

- your title is "Educational Consultant" - include your name, title, phone number, fax number if applicable, email address and website if applicable - your card should have Discovery Toys mentioned somewhere on the card and should also mention the opportunity to get  free toys and the work from home opportunity

8. Organize your home 'office'

• Select a location in your home that can use for your business. This could be a room or a corner of a room.

• You will need a notebook for jotting down notes, recording customer information etc. 

• You will need a day timer to help track your appointments 

• if you need help selecting a good day timer I have an organizer that works well for me 

• it was developed by another Discovery Toys representative. I will put you in touch with her if you are interested. 

• Put a small notebook in your car to track mileage to and from business appointments, dropping off catalogues, banking, meetings etc. 

• Purchase labels and/or a large personalized stamp to label your catalogues and fliers so that future customers know how to contact you. 

• Purchase file folders to help organize and separate business info. - including customer orders, receipts etc.

• Think about opening up or using a separate bank account for Discovery Toys.  This just needs to be an ordinary chequing account.  This will help you keep personal and business banking separate
