The creative and innovative troika of the founders of the Silpada Designs namely Bonnie, Teresa and Jerry have come up with yet another out-of-the-box idea of holding an annual National Conference of the Silpada Designs with literally thousands of the Silpada Sisters attending the event. Not only that the event is made so interesting and rewarding that it excites every participant it is also a great learning opportunity for everyone.

Two of the attendees of the 2011 Conference have commented about their experience at the event as:

“When I planned on attending the Silpada Designs National Conference, I had no idea how much I would actually get out of it. It has been a life changing experience and I look forward to reaching new heights in my business.”

The other one says:

“My first of many I will be attending. I feel like a new person.”

The event of Silpada Conference is so carefully planned and organized that it brings life-long rewards to everyone. The company gets an opportunity to bring its designs out of the catalogues and display them in the live, real environment in the best manner and to the broadest clientele it can, the Silpada Sisters (Representatives) get an opportunity to meet with each other and share their learning as well as experience while the ladies looking for memorable buying experience get the whole range of Silpada Designs at one place to choose from. Not only that, the activity is filled with a lot of fun and networking and you know such a large gathering of Silpada Representatives cannot be complete without an energy filled Silpada-ish dance party.

The 2012 National Conference is planned to be help in Kansas City during July 19 – 22 and more than 4600 representatives are expected to be there together. One can imagine how much fun will take place during these four days of July? Especially those of the Silpada Sisters who had attended any of the previous events must be well aware of excitement and rewards this upcoming event holds for the whole Silpada Family.

The event promises tones of opportunity for everyone participating – it will generate new sale leads, new business ideas, valuable networking, knowledge sharing and above all the complete range of Silpada Designs that you may find in Silpada Catalogues will be live on display to choose from.

Looking forward to see you at the 2012 Silpada Designs National Conference at Kansas City during 19^th to 22^nd July, 2012.

Several years ago, two stylish moms, made a beginning of a small fun activity in a very unique manner with a meager investment saved out of their grocery money. The dreams were not of any noteworthy magnitude but the idea was so innovative that it had all the potential of going viral and so it did.

In very short time the company was pushed to expand its operations across the US and beyond, and grew to hundreds of millions of dollars in revenues. The plain idea of selling handcrafted sterling jewelry of top quality, through parties hosted by volunteers, generated (and is still generating) overwhelming excitement among the ladies who love to be stylish in their private, social or work lives.

Well, if you are the one who wants to make her style statement and if you are still looking to get associated with the company then there are three ways of doing it:

Silpada Designs is the world’s biggest company that deals in high quality Sterling Silver Jewelry and has a very effective Direct Sales model based on Home Parties. The company’s sales are based on wide spread socially well connected network of Independent Sales Representatives who hold home parties and sell the Silpada products directly to the prospects attending these parties.

Being an Independent Sales Representative with Silpada is both rewarding and a challenge. One of the many rewards is simply being associated with one of the largest jewelry company that has a broad collection of uniquely designed and carefully crafted products while challenges are many.

An Independent Sales Representative must carry out the following activities and must possess these 6 abilities:

1.      Prospect for Sales

This is the most fundamental task of an independent sales representative. They use their contacts and even their contacts to prospect for sales. The primary model of sales for Silpada Designs is that of the direct sales for which socializing and using your social networks is of high importance. Therefore, a successful sales rep would be the one that connects with the people conveniently and can easily blend the business with social relationships.

2.      Prospect for Home Parties

As the sales model of Silpada is fundamentally based on the direct sales of its high quality products through home parties it is very important that the sales reps keep on prospecting for those who are willing to hold home parties at their places. Such connections are rewarded with free jewelry by the company for helping it connect to many prospective buyers at the home parties. Although home parties provide good opportunity to their organizers for building stronger social network but still it is a very demanding and challenging activity for the sales reps because they must organize such parties at regular basis and must make sure that they also generate a good amount of sales.

3.      Arrange the Home Parties

After having successfully developed a prospect and obtained her willingness to hold a home party at her place the difficult job of having a decent attendance at the party and making sure that the arrangements are not only fool proof but they also generate high volume of sales remains an uphill task. That’s why the independent sales reps of Silpada are the individuals that have exceptional interpersonal skills and connect with the people very easily.

4.      Close Sales

Taking the initiative, developing prospects, then bringing them to a home party held in their neighborhood is a very difficult task but what if despite having done all of this a sales rep fails to make a sale?? So closing the sale may be just as simple as hoisting a flag when you have already conquered a high mountain peak and as difficult as reaching their.

5.      Prospect More Independent Sales Rep. to Expand your Team

The whole sales system of the Silpada Designs and its expanding sales of the high quality, carefully crafted, sterling silver jewelry are due to the company’s ever expanding network of the independent sales reps. Hence it remains an important responsibility of the existing sales reps to prospect and recruit the new ones who are able and motivated.

6.      Train your Newly Inducted Team Members

Training of the newly recruited reps is yet another responsibility of an independent rep which demands a very specific skill set from them other than their social and sales abilities.

These aspects of the job of an Independent Sales Rep at Silpada Designs make the job a challenge that many of reps cherish and enjoy but several perish to them … however the ones who succeed to survive become multi-skilled marketers and leaders in their right.

Two stylish mothers Bonnie Kelly and Teresa Walsh who happened to be great friends and had hidden in them equally great entrepreneurs took out $25 from their household budgets and started, in a fun way, to design and sell Sterling Silver Jewelry by holding parties for their friends and acquaintances. They say they had great fun working and doing business this way and that many of their fiends coming to those parties would say they wanted to have their job.

In 1997, however, they took a big decision and decided to go all out in their endeavor to provide the same Handcrafted Silver Jewelry to broader clientele and that’s plainly how Silpada Designs came into being. The capital of loyal friends-turned-customers was converted to Silpada Designs Representatives and by the year 2007, yes in just a decade, the company had raised its sales to a sum of $250 million a year. This amazing success for two moms, who were apparently just like any other moms in the world, can be an inspiration for all the budding entrepreneurs. At the core of the story, however, was their unrelenting passion for the work they did and the desire to come up with exclusive designs converted to excellent jewelry pieces no less than any handcrafted artifacts.

Silpada Designs, currently have their manufacturing source in more than ten countries across the world and focuses a lot on the quality of their final product. Each piece manufactured goes through a stringent quality assurance process to make sure that every item complies with the highest standards and only the best reaches to the customers. Same quality assurance procedures are put in place for almost every step and they are implemented almost religiously. Let it be the materials, the design or the crafting itself no compromises are made at any stage. The artisans employed by Silpada to are the masters of their art. Coming from a wide variety of countries in a number of continents they bring a rich diversity of cultures and hence that of the designs and traditions and that is the core competence of Sipada Designs which enables it to stay high in the niche of Handcrafted Sterling Silver Jewelry to which Silpada Jewelry has become almost a synonym.

The Silpada Designs founding duo Bonnie Kelly & Teresa Walsh admit that they had difficulty coping with a sudden growth during the year 2001 when their sales had tripled from $1m to $3m a year and the customers would have to go through hours-long-queues at customer service but they learned quickly the dynamics of a large business. Since then Silpada has stayed ahead of its growth and it seems like their forecasts have been working well. In the process, certainly, a lot has changed at the company for instance the force of representatives has ballooned from a meager 14 to more than 19,000, a basement facility having only 3 employees to more than 300 employees and retail sales in excess of $250m.

What hasn’t changed however is that the company strives to stay ahead of its competition by employing the best artisans, producing most fabulous designs and providing the best possible quality. Silpada’s promise of Life Time Guarantee for any Manufacturing Defects.
