Silent Auction Volunteer for
May |
Kristine Oller Will Help You Grow Your
Business
Since founding her business
Personalized Organization in 1999, Kristine has
been in constant demand as a residential organizer. As
word has spread about her expertise in boosting the
marketing results and career momentum of entrepreneurs
and performing artists, the career strategy segment of
her business has grown to include clients
nationwide.
Kristine is the national columnist
on organizing for Back Stage (and Back Stage
West). Her monthly column focuses on helping actors
and performers across the country pursue their careers
in a thoughtful, organized way. Media appearances
include several guest spots on DIY Crafts on
Scripps' Do-It-Yourself Network as well as Before and
After'noon Movies on the USA Network. She is a
Golden Circle member of NAPO and just completed a term
on the Board of NAPO-LA.
Bid high on the Silent Auction
clipboard for Kristine. She has a wealth of information
to share in the areas of marketing, networking, growing
your business from part-time to full-time, selling your
value (so you can charge higher fees) and
creating a niche for yourself which can actually
increase (not limit!) your client base.
NOTE: The Silent Auction
is a regular fundraiser for our NAPO-LA chapter and is
held at most chapter meetings. During the meeting, the
Silent Auction Volunteer will be announced and a
clipboard will be circulated. Anyone can bid by signing
the sheet as it goes around.

March Volunteer of the Month
|
Susan Culligan, Volunteer Who
Enjoys a Challenge
By Dee Saar Space Diviner
Susan Culligan, recognized in March
for her contributions to the maintenance and upgrades
occurring on the NAPO-LA website, states that one of the
best parts of her journey into the organizing world has
been volunteering and the sense of community it brings.
Launching herself into unknown territory has been a
lifelong habit, but not something that until now has had
the support and encouragement of such a terrific group
of people which she says makes a huge difference.
Susan started her business Got
to Get Organized in March 2005. One of the things
she finds the most challenging and enjoyable is figuring
out how her clients think so that she can tailor
organizational systems to the way their minds work. It
gets really interesting when it becomes evident that a
business is being run based on the way the client thinks
and that modifications need to be made to improve office
systems and conditions more suitable to its staff.
Susan’s prior experience in computer technology and
publishing provides a strong skill set for working in
her favorite setting – the home office.
Susan always had a drive to
organize, so when she began her career as a professional
organizer she threw herself into reading everything she
could find on the subject. Most of all, however, she
attributes the time she spent assisting Barbara Ricketts
and learning how a pro works as instrumental to her
advancement. Susan credits much of her development and
confidence to Barbara as her mentor.
Susan has just accepted a position
on the Board as Director of Communications and
Technology. Thank you Susan for all your hard work –
you’re an asset to our chapter!
To volunteer, please contact
Mishele Vieira at 818-907-9714 or mishelevieira@napola.org.

New Director of Communications and
Technology |
Webmasters Needed
By Susan
Culligan HomeWorksLosAngeles Director of
Communications and Technology
I have taken over for Jodi McDaniel
as your new Director of Communications and Technology
and have some big shoes to fill (actually, her feet are
tiny but her footprint is large).
Jodi did an outstanding job, going
way beyond what anyone expected in designing and driving
the completion of the new website, improving member
communication through the Yahoo group, and the many
other projects that she and her team completed during
her term. There are myriad tasks to learn and much to
do, but I look forward to working with you and welcome
any suggestions for improvement along the way.
Volunteers Where Are You!
Our volunteer webmasters are the
most crucial part of getting this job done. We have
several openings for webmasters, and I am formally
asking for your help. This is a terrific way to become
involved in volunteering for the chapter; we are
responsible for the workings of our most visible “face”
to the public— our website. Each volunteer has his or
her own small area, so it’s not an overwhelming job for
any one person. I’ll teach you what you need to know and
it shouldn’t take you more than an hour or two a
week.
If you would like to volunteer to
update the Calendar, the Press Room, the Membership
Printable Roster, the quarterly pricing changes to the
New Membership Application, or the Assistant’s List,
send me an email at sculligan@napola.org.
These are just some of the jobs
that need to be handled. There are lots more!

Old-Fashioned Marketing
Basics
By Michelle Quintana The Simple
Organizer
I’ll have to admit that during my
eight years as a professional organizer I have certainly
tried dozens of “marketing techniques” to increase my
income and build my client base. Recently, however, the
marketing strategies that I have implemented have been
good old-fashioned common sense and getting back to the
basics. Both of these “marketing techniques” have
successfully helped to build my repeat business and
client loyalty.
Let me explain.
When a potential client calls, I
ask the usual series of questions regarding specific
needs, etc. I really want to understand how large the
scope of the organizing project is and how
serious they are about investing their
resources into finishing the project. What I now do
differently is tell them that working with
me is a commitment to get the project done in its
entirety. I advise them that I don’t want to begin
(for example) in the garage and not complete it. By
stating this in your initial phone contact, you help the
prospect to better understand the process of organizing
and the resources necessary to complete some of the more
challenging projects. There are no surprises.
If prospects can’t afford my
services, that’s okay; they probably wouldn’t have been
happy with the results due to a limited budget and
unrealistic time expectations. Most of us know how long
some organizing projects can take. Add to that a client
who is very slow in making decisions (assuming you are
working one on one) and you could have a job that goes
on and on and on and on.
For years I had forgotten to
mention to the client that hiring a professional
organizer was like hiring a general contractor; i.e.,
get the J.O.B. done, period.
From a marketing perspective, I
have found that using this simple technique truly helps
qualify the prospects who are serious about organizing
EVERYTHING from those prospects who just aren’t sure
they can afford me or who need to know exactly how long
something is going to take. Often during an initial
phone call, prospects will mention that they need so
much to get organized but they don’t know where to
begin. Listen carefully because that is the core to
repeat business. Commit the prospect to one room or area
of the home or office. Work with the prospect then
ask for another room commitment. Bold? Not
really. Remember 80% of our income comes from 20% of our
clients. This is one way to keep your calendar and
client commitments going strong.
This technique also provides
simultaneous excellent customer service because the
prospects “hear” that you are as committed in getting
the project done as they are. Simple but incredibly
powerful.

Notes from Conference
First-Timer |
Boston Rocked for this
“Newbie”
By Laura Johnson Let Me
Rearrange You
As a first-time NAPO conference
attendee, I’m still trying to digest the massive info
influx to my brain! Exhilarating, awesome, overwhelming,
educational, and exhausting are but a few adjectives
that describe my experience. Almost 900 organizers were
gathered, but it was amazing how we made special
connections with gals and guys from across the nation.
Did you see us on the Sunday Morning show on CBS? It was
a terrific segment about the organizing craze with NAPO
being the Organizing Authority.
The most worthwhile and popular
program for me was the “Ask the Organizer” panel. There
are two networking tips that I’ve already put into
practice:
- Treat your business cards as if they are $100
bills. Make them count by giving them to no more than
four people during a networking session.
- Write a note on the back of the card to remind you
of the contact and be sure to follow up to build a
relationship.
High-energy workshops are a must
for the late afternoon - no napping allowed! For those
with lots of thoughts and ideas bouncing around, have
you ever heard of Mind Mapping? It’s a great way to
organize your thoughts (or your clients) and is
something one can do on a computer, transferring it over
to a Word type document in outline form.
Of course, there are things I’d do
differently. Mainly, I’d be more flexible – it’s OK to
change workshops. I’d also strive to get some quiet time
each evening to review the day’s information. I can’t
begin to tell you how overwhelming this can be for a
“newbie,” and how many tidbits of valuable information I
picked up.
One last tip that I can’t resist:
For the more mature, may I respectfully recommend
wearing pants with some give! We did a lot of sitting
and a lot of eating (Boston rocks!).

School Program Gets National
Attention
By Deborah
Kawashima creativeOrganizer
NAPO-LA in the Schools Program went
to conference!
At the NAPO National Conference in
March this year, NAPO members from chapters across the
country got together for an informal meeting to talk
about the School Program.
The object of the program is to
bring organizing awareness to kids. NAPO members saw the
need and the potential of such a program and were eager
to bring it into their local communities. Organizers
shared their own experiences about going into
classrooms, comparing what works and what doesn’t with
kids from elementary to middle-school grades.
We exchanged ideas on the different
ways to communicate the value of being organized and
also discussed various hands-on organizing exercises we
could do in the classroom within our 45 minute program
time.
As an added bonus, a reporter from
the Christian Science Monitor newspaper was there
to report on the fun. (She had seen our meeting posted
on the conference bulletin board and dropped by!)
Even as we begin to expand this
program nationally, the School Program continues to grow
in the Los Angeles area. We welcome any school contacts
you might have! Also, if you are interested in doing
presentations and/or have school contacts, please let us
know. (Some informal training is required to assure a
positive experience!)
Contact Deborah Kawashima by
sending her an email to Deborah@creativeorganizer.com
and writing "NAPO Schools" in the subject
line.

Golden Circle Update
|
Hats & Gloves
By Ann Gambrell Creative
Time-Plus
The Los Angeles area Golden Circle
members met on April 22nd for a tea party brunch at the
home of Barbara Glass and co-hosted by Ann Thurley. They
presented a lovely array of goodies. Some members
arrived in optional hats & gloves for the second
quarterly meeting.
Ann Gambrell, Golden Circle
liaison, welcomed the 15 members including new member,
Chris McKenry, NAPO-LA Chapter President, to his first
meeting. Ann then presented information regarding the
newest project of the L.A. chapter’s Golden Circle: “The
Tips Project,” which includes a collection of organizing
tips offered by chapter members for both clients and
other organizers. “The Tips” will appear on the NAPO-LA
website as well as in the chapter newsletter.
Ann also gave an update on NAPO
national activities to Golden Circle.
Members discussed the format for
future chapter Golden Circle meetings. It was decided to
continue the current meeting format of using our
quarterly meetings to network and to share both ideas
and information with fellow veteran members.
The next meeting is scheduled for
Saturday, July 15th, and will be co-hosted by Dolores
Kaytes and Karen Fulks.
NOTE: Golden Circle status
is open to NAPO members who have been in business a
minimum of five years and a NAPO member for at least one
year. Those qualifying for Golden Circle status can
register online at www.napo.net
or email gambrellann@aol.com
for additional information.

color. Submitted by Barbara Glass, The
Clutterbuster
Address Label Use
Carry your address labels in your
wallet or date book. Use them to complete forms, for
mailing lists and to put on the backs of business cards.
They may be easier to read than your handwriting and it
saves time! Submitted by Elizabeth Butler, Extra

About the TIPS
Program: NAPO-LA has instigated a TIPS Program
managed by the chapter's Golden Circle members. Ann
Gambrell is the chair and invites all chapter members to
submit their organizing tips via email, postal mail or
on index cards that will be available at the monthly
chapter meetings for deposit into the “Organizing Tips”
box.
TIPS are requested in two
categories:
- "Tips from Pros" are organzing tips for
clients/the public.
- "Tips of the Trade" are tips for organizers to use
in their businesses.
When submitting TIPS, you are
invited (optional) to include your name, business name
and contact information. This will serve to promote you
when the client/public TIPS are posted on the NAPO-LA
website's home page. A link to the “Find an Organizer”
section of the website is in the works. “The Tips of the
Trade” will also be included in the chapter
newsletter.
Email your TIPS to gambrellann@aol.com
or mail them to Ann Gambrell, 2667 Monterey St.,
Torrance, CA 90503.

Q&A Conference Call – Level
1 June 1st
The Mentoring, Education and
Training (MET) program is offering a Q&A Conference
Call – Level 1 for new and aspiring organizers to have
their questions and concerns addressed and answered by
two veteran NAPO members. The conference call will be
held on Thursday, June 1st, from 6-8 pm. This is a great
educational opportunity!
Here's what past participants have
said about the call...
“The veteran organizers were
fabulous - direct, candid, and full of great
information. I feel I got a ‘leg up’ on some of the
important issues for me."
"We had plenty of time
to ask questions. It was fantastic for us because there
were so few people and we could each ask a lot of
questions. Also, the convenience of the conference call
was enormous."
Register for this Q&A
Conference Call.
