Become An Online Superstar

How I Went From a Struggling Handbag Designer Who Made Every Mistake in the Book - and Couldn’t Make a Dime - To Running 3 Multimillion-Dollar Product Lines... Without Going to Business School, Working 80 Hours a Week or Breaking the Bank...

Dear Entrepreneur,

Does it frustrate you that you have an incredible product, but you’re still struggling to make sales, find customers and get the publicity you want?

Have you ever wondered how people with crappy products are able to make money with ease and everything they touch always seems to turn to gold?

Have you ever dreamed of running a wildly successful business, of seeing your products in magazines and stores, of making millions?

Believe me, I get it... because I’ve been there. And I know that trying to grow your product line can be really tough.

And if you’re anything like I was, you’ve probably tried a LOT of things...

Maybe you’ve tried getting your products into stores but you can’t seem to get buyers to respond…

Or you’ve tried selling your products online but no one’s really buying from your site...

Or maybe you just feel stuck and frustrated, because you know how great your product is, but no matter what you try, you can’t get others to see how great it is too... and you feel like you’ll never know how to get sales or make money…

If so…

Then I hope you read every word of this letter because the secret contained inside could change your life forever.

Hi there,

Sarah Shaw here and yes, I’ve been down the same road.

These days, I’m the founder of three multimillion-dollar product lines.

I’ve been in stores and magazines across the country and over 70 of the world’s most famous celebrities have worn or carried my products.

But my life wasn’t always so great...

For Years, Frustration, Roadblocks and Outright Failures Were My DAILY Reality.

I was working long hours in the film industry - and decided I wanted my own business.

I studied costume design in college, so naturally, when I had an idea for a handbag, I thought I knew everything I needed to succeed.

After all how hard could it be, right?

So I got some materials, grabbed my sewing machine and made my first bags on my dining room table. Then I threw them in the trunk of my car, drove around L.A. and started selling them.

Sarah Shaw Handbags was born!

I was off and running...

Or so I thought.

Because as it turns out... this was the high point.

Instead of success & stardom, my company was just one failure after another.

I thought I was a hotshot designer, but the truth was that I had NO idea what I was doing.

A lesson I would learn the hard way…

Repeatedly.

My first disaster came when I decided I should get into some stores. Of course, I had no idea how to do that.

But that didn’t stop me…

I cold called a bunch of buyers, but I totally froze up on the phone. I didn’t know what to say or how to pitch them… And most of them just hung up.

I felt humiliated.

After about a hundred tries, I managed to luck out and get into a few stores. But then I didn’t know how to properly merchandise my product line and nothing sold.

I quickly lost the few accounts I did have.

Finally, I managed to get a big order (don’t ask me how…)

So I hired a professional manufacturer and eagerly awaited the delivery of my first shipment. I was finally on my way to becoming a real company.

Um… think again.

Because it turned out that their machines didn’t properly melt the glue holding my fabric together, and the shipment was a DISASTER :(

Even worse, I was stuck with 800 damaged handbags - and an impatient buyer who wanted them NOW. So I had to fix all of them myself… by hand.

After a week of caffeine, No Doz and all nighters, I finally re-glued all the bags. I managed to turn lemons into lemonade but at my own expense........ at least I never did that again!

My list of failures went on and on.

I tried everything.

I tried getting PR, but the media never even responded to any of my calls or emails.

I tried getting products to celebrities, but I never heard back from any of them.

And I even tried creating new products, but they were all duds and I lost almost all the money I had left

After 2 years, I was finally making sales but I was still losing money….

It turns out that I didn’t know how to properly calculate my margins. (Of course, I didn’t know this, so I kept making this mistake over and over again.)

It just seemed like I could never get anything to work.

I wasn’t making enough money to pay my bills. And I had to work two other jobs just to make ends meet.

The Phone Call That Changed My Life Forever...

I decided I needed some real advice.

So I called my friend Todd, who ran a business that designed clothing for Anthropologie.

Todd was smart and successful and knew what it took to run a product line.

He gave it to me straight.

He said, “Sarah, you’re not treating your business like a business.

You keep looking for a “magic bullet”, and you’re hoping each one will somehow save your company.

But true entrepreneurs know that having a successful business isn’t about finding a magic bullet and getting lucky.

They know that a successful business is like a symphony. It’s about getting everything working together in harmony.

You have to start acting like an entrepreneur.”

Wow. He hit me right between the eyes.

And I have to admit: it hurt. But it was also true.

At that moment I realized why I had been failing.

I had been running around frantically, like a chicken with its head cut off... always trying the latest new thing, hoping it would work.

But I finally understood that a business is like a great recipe… it not only needs the right ingredients, but you have to combine them together to create the "perfect dish".

What that meant is that when I called a store buyer, I also needed to have a merchandising strategy to show them.

And that strategy needed to include products that fit what their customers were buying… not just what I thought was cool.

After that, my manufacturing had to be dependable so I could deliver what I promised.

And then once I had those stores, I’d have the credibility I needed to pitch to magazines and celebrities.

And in turn, that publicity would give me even more credibility with stores… which would get me even more sales to stores and online.

And of course, I needed to cost my products correctly so that I turned those sales into profits, instead of losses.

A successful business is like a chain… and one weak link will break it.

And it was time to make sure every link in my business was strong.

Success at Saks 5th Avenue...

#

I went back to work with renewed vigor. And this time I did it right.

I made sure that each "ingredient" was working together: My costing, my marketing, my merchandising, my manufacturing...

And then I went for it.

I decided to pitch a major department store, but this time I had the right products and the right strategy. The pitch went really well...

And a few months later, it happened...

I was in NYC, with my sister. We were in a restaurant, waiting in line for the bathroom when I saw the girl in front of me...

... carrying my bag!

I couldn’t believe it! When I asked her where she got it, she told me:

“Oh it’s from this really cute designer, Sarah Shaw Handbags… I picked it up at Saks 5th Ave.”

I almost freaked out...

I grabbed my sister and said, “We’re going down to 5th Avenue. Right now.”

And there, in the store window of the Saks flagship store in New York, was my handbag.

O. M. G. I had finally made it.

I Never Looked Back...

After that, I never looked back.

Sarah Shaw Handbags made millions.

And soon after, I launched two more companies - Style Council and Simply Sarah.

All told, my companies have done 8 figures in sales.

My products have been sold in over 1,200 stores including Nordstrom, Saks 5th Avenue, Bloomingdales, Neiman-Marcus, Fred Segal, Bergdorf Goodman and Anthropologie.

#

My handbags have been featured in almost every major fashion and lifestyle magazine including InStyle, People, ELLE, US Weekly, WWD and Lucky…

… On TV shows like Extra, Access Hollywood and E!

… and they’ve been worn or carried by over 70 A-List Celebrities including Angelina Jolie, Reese Witherspoon, Julia Roberts and Oprah.

Now, I’m not here to wag my achievements in your face. Because the thing is...

I Talk to People Everyday Who Want the Same Thing... People Just Like You.

People who have great products but they're struggling to get more sales, get more exposure and grow their businesses.

When I started my first company, I would’ve loved to have someone show me the ropes and fast track me through all of the obstacles I had to go through.

Getting a direct road map to show me the right way to do things, without wasting so much time and money, would’ve been an absolute godsend… and helped me get to this point much sooner.

If I’d had someone to help me when I’d started my first company, I’d have made millions in profits instead of struggling for years.

Which is why I’d like to do the same for you today.

Introducing...

Turn Your Product Line Into
A Fast Growing Brand

Let Me Guide Your Online Business.
I'm Unlocking the Door and Revealing Everything I Know
About Running and Growing a 7-Figure Product Line...
And I'll Manage It All For You!

I will share all of my very best secrets, insider strategies and "hidden knowledge"... so that you can make more money.

If you're looking to grow your product line, I will personally manage your business so that you can become a superstar entrepreneur.

And unlike other programs, which only give you a small part of what you need - and then force you to keep buying more and more to get everything else - my Program has everything you need.

From costing to manufacturing to shipping, marketing, selling and getting exposure, it's all included.

Unlike other programs, there's no fluff. No filler.

This program completely different, because before I ever coached a single entrepreneur, I’d already done 8 figures in sales. So everything we give you is backed up by hard won experience and proven, real-world results.

"Sarah is exactly what I have been looking for to take my business to the next level. She brings a ton of experience to the table and saves time, money and headaches with her plethora of resources. I’ve had my business for 14 years and I’ve always felt like I was missing pieces for wholesale growth and online growth. Sarah filled that gap in more ways than I could have imagined. Our wholesale quadrupled in the first month of implementing her wholesale practices. We are just getting started and I’m excited to continue growing my business with Sarah as my go to girl for when I get stuck. If you’re willing to put in the work, Sarah will take you to new levels in your business. I can’t recommend Sarah enough!"

"Sarah Shaw is like Google, the entire How To section of Barnes and Nobles, Consumer Report and Yoda all wrapped up into one of the sweetest, most generous people you'll ever meet. And I'm talking about stuff she doesn't even claim to be an expert on. If you're looking for someone to help you launch a product, you'd be a complete ding dong not to get coaching from her because I promise you, one minute with Sarah Shaw would be worth hours of some other "expert's" time."

"I LOVE working with Sarah! The best business decision I’ve made recently is joining Sarah’s Retail Revolution program to learn how to gain exposure and grow revenue for my handmade business, Shawn Sargent Designs. Sarah is that guiding and supportive voice in your head – and literally on the calls every week, which is an invaluable part of the program. Within three months of working with her, her expertise helped me land Real Simple’s Holiday issue as my first magazine feature, which provided a huge boost in our Q4 sales and gave us national exposure! She also takes a personal interest in our products and growth. Recently she introduced me to a rep that got my products onto The Grommet and is connecting me to revenue streams I couldn’t have reached so quickly on my own. Sarah helps push limits in a positive way, and her ongoing support gives me confidence and momentum to grow my business and reach new goals. Working with Sarah is amazing, and I’m excited for what’s ahead! "

I remember how even my other designer "friends" wouldn't help me out, because they were afraid I'd steal their secrets.

And I promised myself that when I became successful I'd pay it forward.
