Hi, I am part of the 1% and I do not know where to start with what an amazing change in my sales. I am selling to many new customers and my sales have increased from a low...low...low to over $1000 in just three weeks - Hurrah for my newly optimized eBay Store...and my Hero Janelle! Part of my story is emotional and part of it is just the plain money facts after the Success Steps taught by Janelle. My emotional part has to do with all of my struggling in increasing my sales, and fighting a battle that I would never have won without first getting my store in order in the set up process. I had "...my sales have increased from a low...low...lowto over $1000 in just three weeks "almost given up on having a successful ebay store, when I decided to give it one last shot. Janelle came on line with this great opportunity to Join the 1% Club and how I could be more knowledgeable about my store optimizing. I jumped on it, thinking "Thank God for Janelle" and a gut feeling that now is the time, and the place to be is in the 1% Club. I already knew Janelle is an amazing teacher, and now with these results and the increase in my sales, I am even more convinced...I could not have done it without her and her incredible knowledge base!

How to begin..... It all started with joining OSI in the fall of 2007. Then came the decision to take my business seriously and become an OSI Rock Star on November 7, 2007. From that point on, my business life has been a whirlwind of activity education, practice, education, education, education. Wrapped up in the original plan of joining OSI Rock Stars was the decision to so a store makeover and add a second revenue stream. Okay, now, here comes the biggie... I hired a designer who read my vision completely, but (you knew that was coming didn't you?). My store wasn't nearly ready to be overhauled because the structure of the set-up was completely wrong! "My sales have almost doubled since opening the new store. Traffic has doubled; average sale price has doubled. The best thing that is happening is that the vendors are calling me!!! "Enter the 1% Club and the live classes with Janelle. I was honestly completely blown away by the amazing opportunity we have as store owners on eBay. There is no wonder Janelle truly believes that 99% of all eBay stores are set up incorrectly. I still have hours and hours of structural work to do on my store, but the result has been overwhelming! The best before the makeover, I had tried to land the largest and most well-know record cleaning company. They said it "didn't look like 'I' was a good fit for them. Another email went to them 2 days after the new store launch. They answered back with a "Wow! We want you!!" Since then I had my largest single sale: $645.05 for a Nitty Gritty 2.5Fi Record Cleaning System. My sales have almost doubled since opening the new store. Traffic has doubled; average sale price has doubled. The best thing that is happening is that the vendors are calling me!!! I have a lunch booked on December 3 with a huge manufacturer of stereo/turntable equipment. The rep loves the site and especially my 'This Day in Rock & Roll History' daily blog spots! A simple thank you, Janelle doesn't seem like enough. Your eBay Stores classes are the best thing that ever happened to me. I will be listening to them over and over again because each time through, there is something I haven't heard before.

Janelle, Wow - what a class - so jam packed full of information. I've gone over lessons 1 - 4 twice now and I know I'll be going over the rest of the lessons also. I'm so glad I can go over this whenever I wish. "The information in these classes is awesome. I thought I made money before with my ebay store, now the possibilities are unbelievable. There are so many things that I thought I knew but I didn't."Thanks so much Janelle for sharing this wonderful information with the 1% club. I'm still working on my store It's a work in progress. Again thanks so very much ~JaMina M. EnGram |

The training over the last few weeks really was worth every penny and every minute. Most of the time, I had to listen to the replays...but I was rewinding like crazy just to make sure I got every detail. I'm not a numbers person, nor am I techie. I am a right brained artsy person. But Janelle has made understanding all the necessary "computer-tech" elements of running a profitable Ebay store very easy, and do-able. Even being able to read charts and understanding the keywords on the Sales reports was enjoyable and very revealing. I have seen a dramatic improvement on how my Christmas is this year, compared to last year. I still have to get the inventory under control, since I have never had more than 50 listings at any given time in my store. But those that I have had are going like mad. Thanks to Janelle's hard-hitting question, about "Who do you want to be on Ebay?" I can hone my inventory and know what I need to shop for when I go to the Gift Shows. I can ask my suppliers about what I need to fit "my profiled customer". I have an image or brand that I can build around so I don't get distracted by things that don't fit into my store. "We already know that problems exist, what we really want is someone to tell us how we can solve things and get and stay on track. Janelle does just that."Canada is going though economic ups and downs too. We hear the naysayers about how everything is suffering. The Ebay forums are rife with complaints, and Canadians are upset that our dollar is falling again. But the smart Canucks who are on Ebay (and no, I don't mean Vancouver's hockey team) are here, listening to experts like Janelle, and her guest speakers. They are learning to live through economic down times and not only survive but are leaning how to thrive. The worldwide web is truly that...it is worldwide, and no matter where you are in the world, true success principals cross borders. We already know that problems exist, what we really want is someone to tell us how we can solve things and get and stay on track. Janelle does just that. Thank you for sharing all that you have over the last six weeks. I know there is gobs of stuff we don't see behind the scenes, and I know you probably don't sleep. Thank you for walking the walk, as well as talking the talk...of success. All my heartfelt thanks,

Hi Janelle, I'd just like to thank you for the incredible training you gave on how to build a successful eBay store. "What you have done over these past weeks would be unbelievable if I had not experienced it for myself."Not only did you go over the entire process live but you brought in guests who are top in their fields to share their perspective too. The lessons went way further in depth than the original course. You promised to stay online until every single question was answered and by gosh you did that too! I have never seen someone over deliver like you do. You are always patient and made sure that we "get it". If it is true and I think it is that we get what we give back you have wonderful blessings coming our way.

That's an easy question:
Usually mentor programs (sometimes called inner-circle groups) are exhorbantly expensive. I think it's about time you quit paying for programs and started making money.
I've bought a ton of products that might help my business (and I am sure many of them could if I actually opened the darn CD's)...but the programs that have benefited me the most are the ones where the actual guru mentored and walked me through the process.
And I know if there is structure with actual training and homework, amazingly I actually follow through with the training - and I am hoping you will too!
Plus I wanted you to have your eBay Stores in top shape for 2009

Janelle, I must applaud you on the phenomenal class series you presented, the eBay Stores Success 1%. It was the most intense training (and work) I've gone through. I didn't really know what to expect at first, but I was truly blown away by the extensive content. You provided such intricate details on how eBay stores can really work if setup properly. You also required a LOT of homework, including answering some really tough questions, but without those components the training would not have been complete. Had I not completed the homework, I could not have moved forward. Thank you for providing the incentive and encouragement I needed. I have had the best sales EVER in the last 30 daysthan in the last 1.5 years as an eBay seller!The Bonus Classes you generously added, of personally reviewing our stores, was truly the icing on the cake for me. The summation you provided about "Who I Was Going to Be" (on the internet) and where I going was spot on AND left me speechless. For those that know me, that does not happen often. You hit directly on an idea I had been thinking about for a long time. I am SO excited to take this next step and see these dreams and goals become reality. I want to thank you and those who participated on that call for your generous input. You definitely have a gift. I thank you for sharing it and I appreciate all that you have done. Oh.. one other "minor" thing.. I have had the best sales EVER in the last 30 days than in the last 1.5 years as an eBay seller! I would DEFINITELY recommend this class series to anyone who has an eBay store and wants to be part of that 1% of successful stores! When you choose success, you are in the driver's seat and anything is possible! Thank you Janelle! ~ ROAR!!

Janelle, Just wanted to let you know that right around the time they took the stores out of search and seemed to knock stores out of visibility, I discovered you. I had been putting some of those ideas into practice already and then went on to implement as much as I could. I signed up for your newsletter, and do what I can. What has happened? July usually our slowest month was a record sales month, August even more of a record! We've already almost equaled last September's sales!Even with the increased fees on stores, I am confident that we will continue to prosper as we keep effectively using the tools that ebay provides, and remembering that we are responsible for our own success--no whining! Thank you for your very helpful information! |

Hi Janelle, Just want to thank you for all the hard work you do to bring us all these lessons and tell you how awesome the 1% training is - lots of hard work (even though some of the things are quite simple) but well worth it. I am learning so much that will not only help my EBay business but any other selling venues as well. "...since I started using some of the things you taught us I have seen an increase in traffic to my store and about 50% more in sales."I am not nearly finished with the training but since the first weekend I started using some of the things you taught us I have seen an increase in traffic to my store and about 50% more in sales. I'm confident that I will make power seller in the New Year and qualify for those discounts. I had my first referral fee credits last month and my 30 day DSRs are 5, 5, 4.9 and 5 !!! Thank you, thank you and thank you again! Have a safe and blessed holiday,

"Hi Janelle, WOW! Just wanted you to know that we have implemented just two of your suggestions so far, and our sales have already gone up by over 200%!! I cant wait to get to the rest of the information " --Marnie J. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "I would like to thank you for the wealth of information you provided for us. I was unsure of what to expect. I have been to numerous other presentations regarding the fortunes of selling online. It seemed that these people were simply interested in pushing their product more then the tips of selling online. I found your class to be very informative and it has given me the stepping stone I was looking for to get started. Again, thank you very much for the wealth of information. Thank You," --Rich P. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ""By following your creative solutions and innovative approach to running a successful eBay business, our sales have quadrupled in less than a month! I strongly recommend anyone serious about owning an eBay business take advantage of Janelles knowledge and sage advice" --Rebeca D. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "The best part, weekend sales doubled over the past 2 weekends! I attribute this to revising my store & listings to incorporate your suggestions." -- J. Kim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "I learned so much. It was great to walk away with exact steps of what I need to do next to start my business. That is *exactly* what I needed!" -- A. Todd ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "By far, YOU are the best selling tool that I have found on eBay." -- T. Johnson ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "This has given me more information than I have received from any other business class ever taken!" -- B. Carson ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "I cannot say enough good things about Janelle and this class.
