So what are some other benefits of being a Style Dots Brand Partner?

As a Brand Partner, you get to spend your time doing something you’re passionate about! Most small business owners will tell you if you want to be successful, you need to be passionate about what you’re doing; after all, if you’re going to be spending your time and attention on it, you want it to be something you can get excited about. Especially if you’re going to be selling a product or service. If you’re passionate about it, your potential customers will sense that, and they’ll get excited about it too!

Amy K., a Style Dots Brand Partner, says, “The best part of Style Dots is that it truly sells itself; you just have to wear our beautiful jewelry, and your look will turn heads. We are our own billboards!” This is a woman who is passionate about what she is selling! She loves the product, wears the product, and, in turn, lets the product sell itself!

Diana S. didn’t even want to start a small business when she discovered her passion: “I met a Style Dots Brand Partner at a local vendor event. I thought it was cool and unique interchangeable jewelry, so I bought a snap jewelry necklace for my mom and a snap jewelry bracelet for my daughter. Once I had bought jewelry for my mom and my daughter, I wanted some. Then I wanted to join Dot Club (a monthly subscription). THEN, Style Dots offered their Brand Partner Birthday Showcase, and I wanted ALL the jewelry! HOWEVER, I had NO intention of doing anything with the business. My life was already TOO busy!”

But she became so passionate about the product that she quickly built a successful small business selling jewelry based on her own passion for it. That is what following your passion can do for you.

Whether you just want to supplement your income or you have larger goals, a Style Dots business will provide what you’re willing to put into it. However, keep in mind: Small businesses take time to build, so you can’t expect to support a family in just a few months! 

However, many small businesses can and will provide exceptional supplemental incomes, as well as opportunities for travel. Deb F. says, “Direct sales was the answer I was looking for! I jumped at the opportunity….My new career provided everything I could have ever imagined—and then some! No overdue notices arriving in the mailbox, no one telling me what I could earn, or what I had to do to earn it.”

As Deb continued in Direct Sales and eventually became an independent Style Dots Brand Partner, she had this to say, “My Style Dots career allows me the flexibility and financial freedom to pursue my other passions—especially my love of adventure and nature photography, which I share with my husband and biggest cheerleader, Saul.”

Pam S., another independent Style Dots Brand Partner says, “Style Dots has provided an income that allows my husband and me to help out with our grandchildren’s education. Plus, we bought a brand-new car for the first time ever! We have been able to vacation with the family, as well as the trips I have earned through Style Dots! Travel has been my passion.”

Often, when it comes to owning your own business, your income is directly related to how much time you can and want to spend on it. Many people want their own business because it gives them much more flexibility and time freedom.

That’s why Deb became an independent Brand Partner for Style Dots: “I was working in health care at the time and knew I didn’t want to miss out on all the fun of raising [my kids] while working a full-time job outside of the home. I wanted out. I wanted flexibility and freedom. I wanted control.”

Diana S. noted that “the best part [about being a Style Dots Brand Partner] is that I decide when I want to work! I can work after the kids are in bed, and I even make money while I’m not even working!”

In this era of ecommerce, having a business with a website where customers can visit and shop anytime of the day or night is a huge advantage. You’re not committed to being at a storefront from 9 to 5 anymore; you can earn money 24 hours/day, 7 days/week.

Instead, you focus on marketing your product and your passion; how and when you do that are completely up to you!

Opening your own small business will force opportunities for personal growth on you whether you want them or not! But having others to lean on and learn from is important, as well.

Of Style Dots, Pam S. says, “I have to say the training that Style Dots offers is beyond all training I had ever had. I did what I was taught in trainings, even though I was not sure why I was doing them. I just kept at it, and WOW! This was levels above any training I had ever had. As I used these techniques, I started to understand why I was doing what I was doing. It works if you work it!”

Diana S. notes, “Gina and Karen, Style Dots’ cofounders, have created a community of supportive and empowering women that are enacting change in so many lives, and now I’m a part of that too.”

“I quickly realized I’d been missing this feeling of inclusion and belonging in my life,” Wanda adds. “Everywhere I turned, there was love, encouragement, and support from so many amazing women who I am now honored to call my friends.”

Pam S. agrees: “I began Style Dots with great hope and expectation on the first day the company started, and I am still blown away every day with the integrity, sisterhood, and support we offer. I have personally grown in all areas of my life, because we don’t just train on how to be successful in business. We train on how to be debt free, leadership skills, and personal growth that permeates to every area of our lives. I’m proud to say that I can stand behind the quality product Style Dots offers, as well as the integrity of the company, with confidence.”

A Style Dots small business gives you so many opportunities to grow your circle of friends. 

LaDonna M., a Style Dots Brand Partner, says “Since joining Style Dots, I have dramatically ‘widened my circle.’ Clients have become very good friends, and brand partners from all over the country are my biggest source of encouragement, support, and sisterhood.”

When Deb F. found Style Dots, she says, “The heart-centered leadership of the founders and the Dot Central Dream Team [HQ] drew me in, and the inclusive culture of the sales field offered me the home I was looking for. We care for and about each other.”

“I also love the company and the amazing friendships I have made in my time with Style Dots,” Emily J. adds. “The relationships with my clients have developed into true friendships and my connections to my fellow Dot sister will last a lifetime.”

Style Dots was started by two friends who found amazing success in direct sales; they often talked about what their ideal direct sales company would look like. They wanted to start a company that could benefit other women’s lives just as direct sales had benefited theirs. And from that, Style Dots was born.

All of Style Dots’ products are made with premium metal alloys. Plus, they have an unprecedented 1-year manufacturer’s warranty, so you know the product is high-quality and the people behind it are honorable.
