January Recognition

It's recognition time, girls! January was a slow month after the big Christmas rush, but I'm really proud of all those who worked to keep their momentum. I'm not aware of any new recruits for the month of January, but February is off to a great start as we welcome Deandra Baltierrez (AZ) to our team! Deandra was introduced to the opportunity by Sheridan Givens (AZ) and we are so happy to have her on board. Thank you, Sheridan!

Our top seller for January was Ronda Strauss (NY) with $1,116.75. She really jumped in January and showed us all up!!!! Look out Ronda, we're all going to try to give you some competition in February ;o) Ronda gave permission to share her success story... she emails, "I love these products and have gotten a foot in the door just recently with a group that loves these - a company that has over a thousand employees and I have 5 bookings in the next two months just from this one location... they are a crazy group of ladies... at the last party I did with them, if any of the guests mentioned "work" they had to do a shot of something that looked nasty...but spend they did. It was over $1100 but I separated it into two parties and put some in January and some in February...wanted to be sure I had my $450 in. I also did the two games that I think Melanie Davis sent out a long time ago - quick little rhyming type games but really fun and I gave away some really nice out-of-season prizes. Also put candy hearts in one of my empty 16oz Heritage jars and had them guess how many hearts...gave me lots of name and address entries to add as new customers toward the current promotion. I had a leftover covered heart candle that we had a few years back and that was the prize.

I connected with a lady at the "shots" party that is a director for Mary Kay. We are doing a joint venture at one of the nicer local restaurants at the end of March. They do not open until 5:00 for dinners so we are going in noon - 3 with our stuff... she is a friend of the folks that recently bought this restaurant and they are providing appetizers and desserts while we display our goodies; it's the new owners way of getting people in to see the new upgraded menu, decor, etc. Should be fun and hopefully productive! We are calling it "Women Minding Their Business:... I believe there is also going to be rep from one of the "scrapbooking" parties...

Thanks for your ideas, and inspiration, Ronda! We could actually incorporate the shots into some kind of a non-alcoholic game..... like the clothespin/baby shower game... any ideas, girls? Ronda emailed me the game she was referring to, watch for that in the next post.

BACK TO RECOGNITION: Two other demonstrators stood out from the rest in January for strong sales. Melanie Davis (AZ) with $456, a bulk of that coming from Personal Website Orders, and Sandra Hessert (AZ) with a $536 party - AWESOME! Let me not leave out Traci Rhodes (AZ) with monthly sales of $407 In addition we had some newer demonstrators that put in some good orders, Suzanne Mortensen (IA) with a $319 party and Tasha Jacques (NM) with $276.

I want to send out a little pat on the back for all of our "business builders" each and every one who put in an order for the month. Thank you for working your business, Sheridan Givens, Samantha Goodman (AZ), Lynn Hayes (NC), Sandra Hessert, Angela Ingram (AZ), Shaunda Jacobs (AZ), Tasha Jacquez (NM), Kathy Kuwik (NY), Bonnie Lucas (AZ), Kathy Mendonca (CA), Tandy Miller (AZ), Zoe Mitchell (AZ), Suzanne Mortensen, Traci Rhodes, Ronda Strauss, and Traci Wohlgemuth (FL). I am so proud to have all of you on my team, you're TERRIFIC!

We lost a few demonstrators in January, due to not meeting annual requirements. Remember that you must sell $1800 from Anniversary date to Anniversary date, so make your goals and pace yourself so you don't land in a tough spot. We are now at an even 60 on our team and looking forward to building that back up. Of our 60 demonstrators, only 21 placed orders last month - so you guys really are the cream of the crop! Keep it up because I know the other 39 have a plan of action and they're going to be all over next month's recognition, RIGHT GALS??????

Let's recognize our amazing team leaders, but first, what does it take to be a leader?

Gold Demonstrators - Must have 3 recruits

Senior Demonstrators - Must have 1 recruit

We have three wonderful GOLD DEMONSTRATORS, Melanie Davis, who has been with me since 2002 and Mary Fulk (AZ) who has been with me since 2004, Ronda Strauss sponsored by Melanie Davis in 2006 ...we also have six super SENIOR DEMONSTRATORS, Kathy Ashton (WA), T. Knight (NY), Lisa Thorpe (OK), Angie Palmer (AZ), Mary Reynolds (AZ), and Traci Rhodes. When is your name going to be on here, or when will you will climb out of the "Demonstrator" title and become our next MANAGER? Managers must have 5 recruits, 2 of whom are Senior Demonstrators.

You might be wondering what makes my title "Senior Manager", I have at least 10 in my front line (I have 25) and I have at least 1 Senior Demo and 2 Gold Demos in my front line (I have 1 Gold & 4 Sr.) Now, if my leaders don't continue to work their business and lose their leadership titles, MY status will also drop! I need more leaders to help me build our team and keep my title!!! My goal is to move up to a GOLD MANAGER. To obtain this, I need at least 3 team members to promote to GOLD Demonstrators and 1 of you to promote to MANAGER! Who is Going Gold with me???????

Maybe you can show me this February! HAVE A GREAT MONTH!!!
