About Barb Girson
Barb Girson’s career began with Tupperware, working her home-based business part time, while teaching sales and marketing full time. She was not very successful at first. She made endless phone calls, experienced disappointments, felt uncomfortable and struggled. Barb did not recruit one person her first year. If you knew her then you would not have bet a dollar that she would have made it.
With reflection and determination, she made some crucial changes in her sales approach. She started to positively impact her growth and results when she realized the importance of tactical training and building stronger relationships. She developed successful systems and built her schedule to an average of 7-10 personal parties weekly. She maintained that schedule and top sales consistently for several years. She had become so booked that she shared the overflow of parties with the large team she recruited!
Barb was constantly recognized as a top manager, placing as high as # 2 in the nation out of 10,000 independent managers and 80,000 consultants. Tupperware, then, gave franchise opportunities to those managers who ranked regularly among the Top 50 nationwide, and Barb was one of the youngest ever offered a franchise.
Sticking to her recipe, Barb Girson led her multi-million dollar Tupperware franchise to the top 10% of franchises in North America by helping managers achieve national recognition in sales, About Barb Girson
