Sales Problem: I have some new clients who don’t list their email with their online order, so I can’t send them a welcome email, send them my group link, help them with their order, etc.
Sales Solution: create some thank you postcards and snail mail them out.
You can find generic thank you notes online, or you can let me create a custom business brand stationary suite for you.
I’m all about that ELITE customer service. 🫶🏻

Where are my planner girlies at??
I love me a calendar/planner, but I never seem to find one that isn’t a January to December format.
I’m not a “New Year, New Me” kind of gal.. I’m a “Start the thing when it works best for My Life” kind of gal.
So, I made one for those of us that want a little more planner freedom. 🎉
This planner is:
📝 Half off for the holiday season!
📝 8.5x11 in size for lots of room for notes/to do’s!
📝 Fill in your own calendar, so you really can start ANY time.
📝 Chock full of motivational quotes to get each new month off to a GREAT start.
📝 Intentionally chosen muted, on trend colors to fit lots of styles.
This would make a killer Christmas gift.. and it’s half off for the next week, and then the price goes back up to $19.97!

Hey… Stop stealing someone else’s work!
In the land of Pinterest and Google, you may think photos are just free to use and grab.
But they aren’t.
I have seen COUNTLESS photographers take someone else’s work, put it on a graphic, and act like it is an example of their own work to sell some sessions.
Not only is it unethical… it is actually criminal, and I have known a few photogs that have gotten in legal trouble doing this very thing. 😬😬😬
If you don’t have photos that you’ve taken to highlight a location, go take some!!
This same rule applies to music, graphic design, copywriting, etc.
We can absolutely be inspired by other’s creativity, but let’s not be thieves.

October Trends and Spends! - https://mailchi.mp/4a284d272e47/october-trends-and-spends
Growing up, my mom told me us Scharfenberg’s weren’t the creative type.
I believed it, until my definition of creativity broadened.
The fact is… my mom was a gifted alto, and could harmonize with ANYONE. She also had rhythm like nobody else, and would shimmy with every drum beat, right on cue.
✅ Creative.
My dad was a brilliant sketch artist, even after his stroke, he would use his good hand and sketch for hours. We all have drawings he did for us over the years.
✅ Creative.
So.. I think she meant crafty - as in, sitting down at a craft table and making things from scratch.
She was right on that.. not my wheel house or hers.
But, Sarah (Scharfenberg) Tolson is creative. And proudly so.
Seeing my design on a church flyer is just another way I get to see creativity come to life.
Creative or not, it’s ok to change the terms you may have been defined by.
Happy Sunday. 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
When you commission me to create a custom logo for you, I work until you LOVE IT.
You give me a few samples of what you like, and the color scheme, and I go to work creating mock up’s for you.
This is for a master teacher (who is near and dear to my heart) and her branding for her online presence in the teacher space.

A custom photoshoot, and branded graphics to refresh your business. Yeah, it’s one of the best parts of my job!
This seems logical, but I continue to see direct sales babes just posting a graphic of a product, without any problem solving.
For example, if I were to just show a graphic of a pretty lip color, I might get a few views because those that like that lip color would notice. 💋
But there’s not a problem to solve.
INSTEAD, if I posted a graphic, or even better - a video, of conventional lip color that smears, gets on teeth, smudges on clothing.. compared to Lipsense that doesn’t… I’ve shown what the actual problem is, and offered the solution.
It makes it really easy for my current or future clients to know exactly why they may need what I have to offer.
Make sense? Comment below what you sell and I’ll give you some tips for your next post!!
‼️‼️ To all my former photography clients‼️‼️
If you haven’t downloaded your galleries to your own hard drive from PASS, please do so immediately.
The company has been bought out, and they are drastically changing their systems, and all galleries will be deleted from their servers!
I know most of you have already gotten your files, but on the off chance that you haven’t, I don’t want you to lose your final images!
💙💙
My Patreon pricing will be increasing next month! Link at the top.

For a full breakdown, you can join my Patreon where I walk you through my whole process! I solved a problem without even talking and without highlighting a single product. 💄 If you sell makeup or skincare, copy and paste this exact idea! 📚 If you’re selling books, film reading the book of choice, with your fave drink, and tease a hint about a plot point. 🏡 If you’re selling houses, film a time lapse walk through of a house for sale, so your clients get a glimpse, but link the full video or listing in the caption. 🥘 If you’re selling meal plans or recipes, film a time lapse “what I eat in a day”, and link the slower version, or recipe you want to sell. Join my Patreon for a full BTS edit of this content and how I used it on multiple platforms with just a few tweaks! #directsales #sellwithoutselling #salestips #salesstrategy #salescoach #salestraining #mlmsuccess #mlmleads #mlmbusiness
USE THIS HACK TO SAVE TIME! Why create from scratch when you can showcase your best moments over and over again? 🎉💫 I filmed a montage of pink for the #barbiemovie , and then used similar clips to re-edit and let my customers know that I still sell the best budge proof lip color in the makeup world! #trendingreels #reelstips #reelstutorial #reelshacks #reelsmakeup #reelsbusiness #businesstipsforcreatives
One of the ways I get eyes on my business? I use pop culture to create my version of that cultural thing, in my own way. Hot pink clothing isn’t for me, so I got ready for the #barbiemovie by using pops of a #barbiepink that I already had and suited me better. And I can show off my #lipsense color without being in your face pushy about it too. #salestips #salesstrategy #directselling

Agree or disagree? I was told at age 10 that my body size was bad thing, put on Weight Watchers, and thus began a long road of body shame. I dabbled with anorexia, bulimia, diet pills, starvation diets, and focused so much on the number on the scale.. I couldn’t hear anything else.The more women I meet, the more I hear about the collective trauma of diet culture, negative self focus on body size, body objectification, and so on. Does this mean I think we should disregard health. Absolutely not. We gotta stick together, babes! We can be healthy at many sizes and shapes, and our weight is the LEAST interesting part of us. Body positivity, healthy at any size, negative self talk, #healthateverysize #dietculturedropout #dietculture #eatingdisorderawareness #eatingdisordersurvivor
Want your business to be the top-listed Media Company?
I think every woman deserves a power lip color that won’t budge, a great headshot, or family photo she feels beautiful in, and the knowledge that she was put here for a purpose and a calling. Maybe a killer cup of coffee too. Don’t we all deserve that? ;)
I am a San Diego natural light photographer, and have been for 16 + years. I love capturing family connections, and I’m just overwhelmed at the amount of love and connection I’ve been witness to over the years. Because I have autoimmune issues, my schedule gets more limited every year, but I’m not out just yet! Just know that when I post an opening, you should jump on it! ;)
I also love helping women feel their very best with magic EASY to USE budge proof makeup. It goes hand in hand with photography because if you feel good about your skin and makeup, it is obvious in your photos, and the way you carry yourself in daily life. :)
I think every human should know they are worthy of love. My mission is to speak to the women God puts in my life, whether that’s in front of my camera, in my makeup chair, or on my makeup team.
