Profile Information

About Me:
Hi, My name is Annette. I live in the North Georgia area on beautiful Lake Lanier. I am a "young" retiree, mother of 4 children and 11 grandchildren who are spread out from Georgia to Tennessee to Texas.

I have been involved in direct sales, marketing, and customer service for more than 35 years. The name of my business, Painted Lady Enterprises, comes from my love of butterflies. The one on my home page is a Painted Lady. When I joined BeautiControl in 1994 I thought that the name Painted Lady and the beauty business was a fit. Since then I have branched out to add promotional products, and greeting cards as well as some affiliate marketing products and most recently a virtual shopping mall. I invite you to tour my website and let me know what you think. My goal is to provide products and services that are of good quality from reputable sources. We specialize in helping you build relationships with prospects and existing clients for a source of endless referrals. We are an on-line store open 24x7. We believe you should be able to shop at your convenience, on-line not in line.

How do I stay in front of my prospects and customers?

I’m worried that out of sight translates into out of mind.

I love it when I find or receive information from experts that reconfirms the marketing products and services that I offer. I read this and just went WOW…did she write this for me or what!

I had the great pleasure of hearing Liz Goodgold with Red Fire Branding, http://www.redfirebranding.com, speak several months ago. She is just a wealth of information on a common sense approach to marketing.

Here is an excerpt from her latest e-zine… Continue

Recession Proof Your Business

Recession Proof Your Business

Thank a Customer a day –

Did you know acquiring a new customer can cost 8 to 10 times more than retaining an existing one; this can be a costly approach. According to customer relationship management experts, companies can increase revenue by 50% if they retain only 5% more of their customers.
Businesses lose business because they don’t keep in regular touch with their customers and clients? They have good intentions for personal communication with them but just c… Continue

I had not been on this site myself in a while. Worked all day yesterday making sure all my social network profiles were up to date. Getting ready for the new year.

I'm excited about the new Card Editor also. One of my downline was in on the testing. I look forward to getting to know you better.

Haven't visited this site in quite a while, so I appreciate the reminder in the form of your Friend request. And yes, I'm in Jonesboro, GA (although not FROM here).

I see we share the SOC connection. I'm SO looking forward to the release of the new Card Editor.

Hi Annette,
Thanks for the invite.
Amazing...you look so very much like one of my dear friends here in GA, and her name is Annette, too!
I have to confess, I am not on here often any more since my attention and energy has been redirected to being pregnant and the coming of our second child. However, I look forward to hearing more from you.
Many blessings...

Hi Annette,

I am pleased to meet a fellow professional in the ad specialty industry. It's not that many of us out there so we have to stick together. I looked over some of your posts and I see that we think a lot alike. Stop by anytime.

I'll stay in touch.

Hi Annette,

How are you doing. I like your spirit in that you referred to yourself as a young retiree. The picture of the butterfly is truly beautiful. Butterflies remind me of transformation from something ugly and limited to something beautiful and free.

I hope all is well, I just wanted to stop by and say, Hello!

Hi there Annette! Good to be connected with you.

Just thought of sharing this.

I am so lucky to have found this great home-based business opportunity that can greatly benefit us all. Honestly, i really benefited from this great program as i was able to spend more time with my family while earning. You might want to check it by clicking on my business card below for more info. You won't regret going there. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions on my experience about this.

To your success!
