KungPhoo.com

Today I am featuring the website Kungphoo.com, I have been enjoying their services since I found them.  

Here is what John Russo had to say:

What type of service do you provide?

Kungphoo.com is a social commerce platform that brings people together to buy, sell, search, or promote just about anything! Whether you're a business looking to promote or sell your latest offering, a charity looking for a new way to take donations, or an individual looking to buy, sell, promote or find anything. Kungphoo is the new ease-of-use platform that lets you come together with others to facilitate desired outcomes without jumping through hoops.  

Anyone can open a circle on kungphoo to broadcast information, sell or promote products, services, events etc. or round up people all looking to buy a similar product or service (social buying) to get a better deal or better information.  Once inside circles users can collaborate with each other publically or privately  – or private message everyone in the circle (including creator) with just one click.

Kungphoo can even be used to group up for an office pool (lottery etc), chip in for a gift, or raise money for a fundraiser; as we let users link directly to their paypal page or any other destination from their circle.

Users can share their created circles or any others they choose with the social networks (FB, Twitter, Pinterest Google+) or by email right from the circle page.  Kungphoo will also promote your circle as well through various mediums including social media.

Users can login with facebook or sign up with just an email and pw, but either way it’s all completely free (for businesses & consumers)

 How did your website start?

One day one of our co-founders was looking for a laptop, and had no clue what to buy.  They thought, what if they could speak with someone looking for, or that had already purchased the same thing… That’s how kungphoo was born.  We launched in Nov of 2012.

How many members do you have?

Kungphoo has tripled its user base in the last2 months and is picking up a lot of traction. 

What do you love about the website?

One of our users commented “I think its great all the social networks are connected. And it allows ways to network that facebook and other social media doesn’t.” 

What is your goal for 2013?

To add many planned features that we have and more importantly any features that users or potential users request. We want to grow our user base and to do that we need to give users what they want and not what we think they want.  That’s why feedback is very important. 

You can find Kungphoo on the web and on Facebook.

Featured Consultant of the Week - Ashley Mendez-Kestler

This week's featured consultant is Ashley Mendez-Kestler, a Senior Consultant with Verefina, and has been with them since August, 2012.  Ashley is a SAHM, who founded a non-profit, writes children's books, and sells for 2 direct sales companies.  She has been married for 6 years and has 2 amazing sons (2 and 4).

This is what Ashley shared with us:

Why did you choose Verefina?

I am passionate about improving the future for our children. One of the ways we can do this is by limiting their exposure to toxic chemicals and creating healthy environments for them. Verefina products are toxin-free and help accomplish exactly that. It is also a groundfloor opportunity, which provides excellent potential for building a strong business.

What is your favorite product?

I love the moisturizing deodorant cream. With all of the research linking parabens in deodorant to breast cancer, I love that I can feel safe using this product and sharing it with others. Plus, a 3 month supply is less than $10!

How long have you been in Direct Sales?

 I started with my first DS company in 2008, but quickly realized that it was not the right company for me. I signed up with Usborne Books & More in July 2011, and have continued that business venture along side Verefina.

What is your position in Verefina?

 I am currently a Senior Consultant, and I have one downline team member.

How do you balance your home life with your work in Direct Sales?

Family comes first for me - always. That is the great thing about DS, you can actually do that! Organization is key. I schedule office hours where I make phone calls, do online marketing, and participate in trainings or read business books. Of course, my phone is always on if a customer or team member needs me. I also limit myself to 2 in person events per week.

Do you have a business tip to share?

If you have young kids at home, make sure you give them a lot of attention before making phone calls. If their needs are met, they are more likely to play on their own and allow you time to be professional with customers and consultants.

What is one goal you have in Direct Sales this year?

I am ready to grow my team. I want to build a team of at least 5 consultants. And I would like to steadily increase my personal sales by a rate of $50 per month.

You can find Ashley online and on Facebook. 

Mothers Helping Others

Today's feature will be Mothershelpingothers.org, which I have really enjoyed being a member of and have found it very helpful!

What is your website all about, what type of service do you provide?

My website is a social networking community for people to connect. People can create a profile, upload pictures, join groups, and connect with other people that have similar wants and likes (for example, weight loss, First time moms, working moms, stay at home moms, single moms, military wives, moms of special needs kids, and the list goes on). MothersHelpingOthers.org is a community for support, information, and love.

When/how did your website start?

 The website launched January 14, 2013. I decided to launch the site after my Facebook Fan Page (Funny Postpartum Lady) grew overwhelmingly large with fan questions. I knew there was a need for a place to post and answer questions. Women and men needed somewhere to go to ask questions and not be bullied or judged. That was when the idea started brewing and eventually came to be.

How many members do you have?

 Currently we have almost 800 members in less than 2 weeks of the page being live. 

 What do you love about the website?

 I love the website because it is truly like having one large family. I have a sense of love and support there from perfect strangers that I've never experienced anywhere else.

What is your goal for 2013?

 My goal for 2013 is to get the mobile app launched, reach 10,000 users, and have more than 50 sponsors.

Featured Consultant of the Week - Erin Leigh Howard

This week's featured consultant of the week is Erin Leigh Howard, who represents Aloette since October 2012.  Aloette is an aloe-based skincare and cosmetics company that uses medical grade organic aloe. They’ve been around for 35 years and have come a long way from extremely formal presentations to extremely FUN parties!

Why did you choose Aloette?

I met my upline at a vendor event and we were talking while she put a sample of our Restorative Enzyme Peel on my hands. It’s a handy dandy little jar of green goo that uses fruit enzymes to break down the dry, dead layers of your skin and exfoliate without being abrasive. Let’s just say my hand was reaaaally in need of some exfoliating! That product got me to host a party, then another party, and once my upline showed me how much she made on my two parties…I was in!

 What is your favorite product?

My favorite product is the product that got me into this biz, the Restorative Enzyme Peel! All the dead, gross skin just falls right off and it leaves my skin feeling smooth and wonderful. The Platinum Revitalizing Cleanser is a close second.

How long have you been in Direct Sales?

 I have been in Direct Sales actively since September, although I’ve been with Juice Plus+ for a little over a year. My second company, Paparazzi, was introduced to me by a good friend named Tia Barber in August and I’ve been having fun with that! Because of how much I enjoy working with her, I decided to also join LilyBean & Baxter which is the company she started with another great gal, Diana Ferrato.

What is your position with Aloette?

My position is Beauty Consultant and I have one downline, Kathleen Gurklies, and an amazing upline team. My sponsor, Jennifer Stutz, and franchise president, Molly Klipp, are amazing women who have helped me grow with direct sales! Their training has helped me significantly, both in Aloette and my other businesses. I also recently met several other presidents and the president of the entire company! Wonderful people, through and through.

How do you balance your home life with your work in Direct Sales?

 I work a full time job, 40 hours a week in front of a computer. I squeeze in business on my work breaks and lunch breaks, but most of my time is done in the evening and on the weekends. It’s pretty difficult sometimes to manage social and work and business! I am lucky to say that I haven’t lost any friends, but it can be a strain!

Do you have a business tip to share?

 Always, always, always keep your customers in mind when doing anything with your business. They come first! Do not, under any circumstances, tell them that you need them. You need to convince them that they need you! ;)

What is one goal you have for Aloette this year?

I want to hit manager! I need a few more recruits and get my butt into gear and start doing more shows, both online and offline! I’m thinking a spa day open house once a month? Mm, I can’t wait!

You can find Erin online (personal website is currently in the works) and on Facebook.
