Our latest PR features are for our client the Spatty in Bustle and BuzzFeed!

Reaching and scraping where traditional spoons and rubber scrapers cannot, it’s Spatty, to the rescue. Consumer Reports say we discard up to 25 percent of products when we throw our bottles away before they are empty. With the Spatty you have a versatile multi-reacher to ensure you’ll be throwing less cash in the trash. Just as the kitchen rubber scraper is a game-changer for cooking and baking, Spatty works the same way, but in narrow, hard-to-reach places. Designed with the right amount of flexibility, it easily moves around the curves and corners of containers but remains firm enough for mixing, spreading and decorating. The Spatty comes available in sets of two; in 6-inch and 12-inch sizes. It’s dishwasher safe, FDA approved, BPA free and made in the USA.

ChicExecs VP of Global Strategic Accounts, Lydia Vargo, talks about the five qualities good salespeople should have on Forbes blog. Whether you like it or not, sales makes the world go ’round. The good news is that you don’t have to be a natural-born salesperson to succeed in the world of sales. In fact, as long as you have other people’s best interests at heart (with an eye for growing your business), you already have the makings of a great salesperson.

Sales isn’t about picking up the phone and harassing uninterested people. Great salespeople are trying to build a business. They look at sales not as something they do to people, but as a collaborative process between themselves and the client. Good sales skills can mean more money in your pocket and a better customer experience. As you cultivate these five qualities to boost your sales skills, she explains that this isn’t something that happens overnight.

“Practice and grow your sales skills over time. Hone them like you would any other skill, and you could see increased sales, happier customers and a thriving business.”

Hone Your Sales Skills By Cultivating These Five Qualities

1. Get Competitive – Get energized by the idea of outdoing yourself, your fellow salespeople and your competitors.

2. Listen – Don’t treat client calls as a chance to pontificate; treat them as equitable conversations. You should still lead the call, but you need to give the customer time to respond.

3. Be Resilient – One month you might be riding high on a wave of closings and commissions. The next, no one returns your phone calls and you experience a dry spell. Let rejection and failure motivate you.

4. Be Confident – Confidence is the currency of sales. A good salesperson comes off as confident, in control and informative — even if, deep down they are filled with insecurity.

5. Be Honest – Sales is not about tricking people into buying a subpar product. Good salespeople should be honest from the start and should only want to sell you something that you need for your personal and professional success.

Our latest PR feature is for our client Ecoslay in Bella Magazine!

Ecoslay holds the philosophy that what you put on your body is just as important as what you put into it. Aside from offering a line of affordable, quality formulas, the brand takes natural hair care a step further educating consumers about the ingredients it uses by explaining their purpose. The article features Ecoslay founder Adria Marshall.

Black History Month celebrates more than past African American leaders and heroes, and their achievements. It reminds us to also acknowledge those who are shaping the future. With product placement in 30 retailers and 20k followers on social media, Marshall is one African American entrepreneur to watch this February, with her hair care brand.

The business owner, wife and mom of three strives to do more than offer a line of vegan, no-filler formulas for natural hair. She plays the role of educator in two ways: by teaching consumers how natural, eco-friendly ingredients can transform their hair and by serving as a career mentor with the way she manages her brand. Years before Ecoslay started receiving Instagram attention for its curl-perfecting Orange Marmalade or innovative Hot Sauce Pre-Poo/Hot Oil Treatment for a healthy scalp, Marshall began her own natural hair journey and discovered products like these didn’t exist on the market.

As an avid gardener and tech enthusiast, Marshall began to educate herself on effective hair ingredients and to her surprise, the more natural they were, the better her hair looked and felt. What makes Ecoslay different from other natural hair care companies is the way Marshall pays all of her knowledge forward. The brand lists product ingredients and additionally explains their purpose. Despite her success, Marshall manages to stay grounded following four core principles that touch upon education, health and wellness, respecting the environment and respecting humanity.

Check out Ecoslay for the hair care line based on homemade products for naturally, curly styles.

Congrats Ecoslay!

With the innovative nail color formulas created by Puttisu, your little one can safely become the nail artist she’s always dreamed of. The kid-captivating brand replaces the bad with the good using natural extract oils such as olive, argan, macadamia and moringa oils that protect, hydrate and nurture her growing nail beds.

Puttisu varieties include glitter, shimmer and solid color hues. Sticker sets are also available for those who love to experiment with nail art.
