    SELLING

    Starting September 1st, you’ll have one more way to grow your business with our Enhanced New Client Referral Program! Under this program, you can encourage your existing Clients to help you grow. Here’s how:

    • Existing Clients who refer a New Client will receive a $150 credit when the referred Client purchases $1000 within three (3) months of their first order (New Client’s first order counts toward the $1000 total).
    • J.Hilburn will invest $125 toward the Client Referral Credit and the Stylist will invest $25. 
    • Credits earned will expire six months from the date of issuance encouraging Clients to use them quickly.

    This Enhanced Client Referral Program is a great way to incentivize your Clients to give more referrals and place more orders, but it will only be available for a limited time. The Enhanced Client Referral Program will end November 30, 2024

    Reminder: Make sure you are adding your referred Clients correctly during their new account setup, so that your referring Clients get their $150 credit. Stylist Care will not manually add credits. Here is a quick refresher on how to do this:
     
    Step 1: Navigate to ‘My Clients.’

    Step 2: Click ‘Add Client.’

    Step 3: Begin typing the referring Client’s name in the ‘Referred By’ field.

    Step 4: A dropdown menu will appear as you begin typing the referring Client’s name. Select the referring Client from the dropdown menu.

     If you have questions, reach out to your Regional Sales Directors for more information.

  • Weekly Update – August 23, 2024

    NEW THIS WEEK

    In an effort to make the information you need to run your J.Hilburn business more accessible and timely, we’re making some updates to the Weekly Update.

    You will notice a change in the format of this week’s email. Going forward, the Weekly Update will provide headlines of the week’s stories and link to full, detailed information in the Newsroom. There are many benefits to this format, including:

    • Easier Navigation – The new format will help you find the information that is most important to you more quickly.
    • More In-Depth Information – The new format allows us to provide more information on each topic as we won’t be constrained by the character limitations of email.
    • Easier Access – All weekly updates will be available in the Newsroom so that you can easily find information even if your weekly email gets lost or deleted. You can also easily review information you may have missed or refresh your memory on topics.
    • Coming Soon in the App – In a coming Stylist App update, the Weekly Update Newsroom articles will be available to view in the app, making access even more convenient.

    Due to many people having social and family obligations coming into the weekends, we’ve found that Fridays are not the ideal delivery day for the week’s most important email. We want this information to be top-of-mind as you begin the week. Therefore, starting next week, the Weekly Update email will be delivered on Sunday evening so that the information is fresh in your mind as you prep for the week ahead on Monday morning. If you need information earlier, you can access the Weekly Update in the Newsroom on Fridays.

    We hope you find the new format and cadence helpful.
