... finally!!! Sorry this one took me so long to post! I know you've been waiting to see :o) Let's begin!
First of all I'd like to welcome new demonstrators. Rebecca Brasfield (WY) was sponsored by Mary Reynolds (AZ). Ann Marie Gibney (NY) was sponsored by Ronda Strauss (NY). LaToya Holmes (AZ) was sponsored by Mary Fulk (AZ). Diann Panozzo (VA) was sponsored by Melanie Davis (AZ). Seneca Richardson (AZ) sponsored by yours truly and already in November we have Tammy Richey (AZ) sponsored by Megan Moreno (AZ). We're excited to see you grow in your businesses! I am happy to say that this brought us up to 63 demonstrators - my lifetime high :o) Thank you all for spreading the word about this great opportunity.
WOW!!! I keep rechecking this report and it is true - there is no typo when I say our top seller for October is Ronda Strauss, Senior Demonstrator, NY with $4,044.03 !!! All of that is party and personal website sales. I am so impressed! What an awesome month for you. GREAT JOB!!! Another STAR SELLER in October was Megan Moreno, AZ with $1,160. In addition, both of these amazing ladies signed up new demonstrators. I am very pleased with your excitement about candles!!! Ann Mare Gibney, a new demonstrator from NY, was also at the top of this list of strong performers. Ann sold $833! Not too shabby for her first month - she qualified for earning her kit free and the first Quick Start Level - AWESOME!!! Heather Uhland, AZ sold $767... Kathy Ashton, WA sold $765... Nancy Simpson, GU $671... Zoe Mitchell, AZ $637... Melanie Davis, AZ $624... Sandra Hessert AZ $607... Kelly Montana, AZ $530. Our other active sellers for October were Elizabeth Campbell, Deanna Rust, Jennifer Arellano, Mary Fulk, Raquel Thompson-White, Christina Guido, Madalene Nieblas, Lisa Thorpe, Lola Sanders, Kathy Kuwick, Angela Palmer, Ginger Good, Heather Mendoza, and Shaunda Jacobs. Altogether our team sales totalled $13,668!
I love to put a shout out to our wonderful team leaders. If you have just sponsored you may not receive your leadership title or promotion until your recruit completes her first 30 days. Our Senior Demonstrators (recruited at least one new demo) Kathy Ashton (WA), Elizabeth Campbell (AZ), Christina Guido (AZ), Mary Reynolds (AZ), Traci Rhodes (AZ), Ronda Strauss (NY), Raquel Thompson-White (AZ), Lisa Thorpe (AZ). Our Gold Demonstrator is (recruited at least 3 demonstrators) Mary Fulk (AZ), and our Manager (at least 5 demonstrators) Melanie Davis (AZ). Thank you each for the extra time you put in to your candle business to be a great leader!
I would like to take a minute to share what I'm doing in my business with you - so you know YOU CAN DO IT! I live in a rural town and I still managed to squeak out a $4,500 fundraiser, $1,750 in party orders and $100 in website & personal sales. I enjoyed getting a $150 VISA cash card from Gold Canyon for the fall incentives last month. No matter where you are, Gold Canyon is selling, don't miss out! If people aren't buying candles from YOU they're buying them somewhere else!
I want to remind everyone to try hard to put in 2 $400 party orders this month! Gold Canyon is offering commission bonuses if 60% of our team puts in 2 $400 parties. Only the ones who put in the 2 orders get the bonus PLUS a $50 cash reward. ALSO, if you recruit 2 demos this month that sell $350 you can get a $50 cash reward! Gold Canyon's fall cash incentives are so sweet, don't let them pass you by! For details see the flyer here: https://essentials.goldcanyoncandle.com/GoldCanyon/CMS/Portals/0/Fall_Incentive_09Final.pdf
That's all for now - please check the blog weekly for ideas to build your business!!! I love you guys, thanks for all your hard work!

September Recognition 09
I admit, I was a slacker in September and didn't post any recognition for August. I appreciate all of you who worked hard in our last month of the summer catalog. Christine Dunlap, Megan Moreno, and Heather Uhland, all from AZ, finished the month out "tops" in the $550s. Right on their tail was Ronda Strauss (NY) with $529. Other active demonstrators in August were Ginger Good, Nancy Simpson, Jessica Hernandez, Kelley Montana, Sandra Hessert, Raquel Thompson White, Kelly Ashliman, Elizabeth Campbell, Mary Fulk, Traci Rhodes, Christina Morgan, T. Knight, Jennifer Arrellano, Lisa Thorpe, Zoe Mitchell, Tasha Jacquez, Sandy Sellers and Melanie Davis. WOW! That's awesome! 22 of us placing orders that totalled over $6,250. I'd like to welcome new demonstrators to our team in August, Bonnie Eismon (AZ), referred to me by a previous demonstrator, and Roseanna Martin (AZ) who was sponsored by Christina Guido (AZ). We are so happy to have Roseanna on board and put our hands together for Christina for signing her up - - - at her very first party nonetheless! Wonderful job everyone!
September was a great month for growing our team. We welcome back Jennifer Anderson (AZ) and Deanna Rust (AZ) as well as a brand new demonstrator, Lola Sanders (OK). The addition of these wonderful ladies brings our team count up to 58.
I am pleased with the leadership on our team. Senior Demonstrators are those demos who recruit 1-2 new demonstrators. We have 8 Senior Demonstrators, Gina Andersen (GU), Kathy Ashton (WA), Elizabeth Campbell (AZ), Christina Guido (AZ), Traci Rhodes (AZ), Ronda Strauss (NY), Raquel Thompson White (AZ), and Lisa Thorpe (OK). We also have one Gold Demonstrator on our team (sponsors 3-4 new demonstrators), Mary Fulk (AZ). We also have one Manager on our team (sponsors 5-9 new demos), Melanie Davis (AZ). My current leadership title is Senior Manager, meaning I have 10+ demonstrators in my frontline, plus at least 1 Senior Demo, plus at least 2 Gold Demos. My next promotion is "Gold" Manager for which I need 3 Gold Demos..... now which of you Senior Demonstrators is ready to kick it up a notch and recruit one more to help me out?????
Our September sales were awesome, up to 27 demonstrators placing orders (almost half! that's great!) With the fall season and being able to order out of BOTH summer and fall catalogs, our team sales were over $8,630. Hold on tight, this is just the beginning of a great season.... in the next month or two you are going to see that number double! That doesn't count the fundraiser submitted by Mary Fulk (AZ) for $9,841. Mary is the fundraising QUEEN! I do lot of fundraisers but they just don't compare to Mary's! Our top sellers for the month are: Ronda Strauss (NY) with $1390!!! Mary Reynolds (AZ) with $717, Kathy Ashton (WA) $696, Traci Rhodes (AZ) $672, Raquel Thompson White (AZ) with $460, and Christina Guido (AZ) with $455. All of you are amazing demonstrators! KEEP IT UP! And let me not fail to mention more awesomely awesome demonstrators who also sold this month: Suzanne Mortensen (IA), Lisa Thorpe (OK), Melanie Davis (AZ), Ginger Good (AR), Angela Palmer (AZ), Christine Dunlap (AZ), Kathy Kuwik (NY), Zoe Mitchell (AZ), Christina Morgan (AZ), Jessica Taylor (AZ), Shaunda Jacobs (AZ), Megan Moreno (AZ), Heather Mendoza (AZ), Jessica Hernandez (AZ), Lola Sanders (OK), Kathy Mendonca (CA), Sandra Hessert (AZ), Elizabeth Campbell (AZ) and Kelley Montana (AZ).
September was also the end of 3rd quarter and I am happy to say that our team sales for the quarter were $22,986 and the year-to-date sales are $65,552.
Before you go, I wanted to make sure you know October's Host Promotion is $20 bonus host rewards, and GC has extended the "3 easy payments" as well as the $20 Join Us promotion. See the updated flyer here https://essentials.goldcanyoncandle.com/GOLDCANYON/CMS/Portals/0/Oct09PromoFlyer-US-Updated.pdf. ALSO, have you all noticed you can round your customers' orders up for Prayer Child donations? Be sure you ask every customer as you complete their order - it's a great way to donate to a wonderful cause. Read up on the Prayer Child Foundation in your catalog and visit http://www.prayerchild.org/. AND, Gold Canyon is offering Cash Incentives for the next 3 months for sponsoring and for having 2 $400 parties/mo. If 60% of our team places 2 party orders of $400 in a given month EVERYONE who places those orders gets a 5% bonus (min. $40) in addition, $50/demo for 2 or more sponsored demos. Let's do it!
Thank you all for being a great team! You're the best - - I mean WE're the best! Keep it up!!

Demonstrators
We have a new teammate that is on fire! Raquel (AZ) stirred up interest in the business with a friend at her first party. She brought the friend, Chrissy to our team meeting and she signed up just after. Raquel helped Chrissy sign up a demo after her first party as well! They've been working together to market their businesses. Raquel is great to update me on her new team's success by email, "She is doing great and excited as ever. I'm helping her with her second party tomorrow. Her recruit is doing great, too and I believe her party is coming up very soon too. We are all pretty much an excited bunch of demo's. We let our excitement SOAR. :) We're tryin to burn some pounds by marketing twice a week in the mornings. It's nice yet I've bumped into 2 old friends in this manner. One gal is going to do a catalog party and the other I need to check in with." I just love hearing about it and feeling inspired by her enthusiasm. Raquel and Chrissy both recently attended the Tucson training meeting with me. She reports, "I encouraged myself to invest in the tealites. The tealites have helped me be stronger in the way of speaking up about Gold Canyon. In order to be successful I have to be out there with my team. We market twice a week utilizing flyers, but when I we see a individual walking into a store, or heading towards their vehicle I get there attention and let them know how wonderful our products are by giving them a brochure, and a free tealite, and I end my conversation by collecting their name, address, and phone number so I can follow up with them in a couple of days. It's a powerful little tool to utilize. From marketing Christy has received one party, and I have received one catalog party. We make action happen every week without out we will not succeed."
Another wonderful demonstrator also attended our Tucson meeting. Megan brought her good friend Eli with her.... who claimed she was just there for moral support. I really enjoyed meeting both ladies and hoped I could get Eli on board, she would be a great demonstrator!! I have since talked to Megan and Eli really is considering joining... come Eli, DO IT!!! Anyways, I asked Megan what she brought back from the meeting and she replied, "it helped me to just refocus and put more time into my business. I have 2 parties scheduled for October 3 and October 4! I have only done one party so I didn't really have anything but the samples to show. So I ordered some things a couple days ago that I think people would buy if they could see it in person. I also have another two parties in the works but one of them wants to have the party in their new home so we are waiting till that gets finalized! If I can get a good base of customers from these parties then I am going to get my website back up and running! Also, I think that I am going to try to make the toffee for the parties coming up! It was soooo tasty and would be a great way to sell the candle!" I can feel her excitement and I'm happy that she has reignited her flame with her candle business.
Thank you Raquel and Megan for sharing your stories with us, and for the amazing work you are putting in to your candle business! We all have a few things to learn from you!

Demonstrator Meeting 8/28
I want to extend a great big THANK YOU to the four local demos who took time from their busy schedules to attend our demonstrator training meeting last night! Here we are, Christina and baby Mallory, Traci, Chrissy, Raquel, Erin and my daughter Alayna.
We spotlighted some of the new fall releases, here we are "Romancing the Candle"
We took the fragrance quiz to see which of GC's new perfumes suits us, we introduced Gold Canyon's new leadership bonus, talked about September's promotions, fundraising, had a product hunt in the catalog, had drawings, and shared what was great in each of our own businesses this month.
I think the best part may have been playing with the Emerge products, each of us pampered our hands with the hand scrub and hand silk. It not only smells divine, it felt sooooo soft and luxurious. Lots of Emerge party ideas!
It was a fun night with giveaways, free gifts and stirring up some excitement for fall with Gold Canyon! Stay tuned and we'll do it again soon!

Team Recognition - July '09
July was HOT, thank you ladies for awesome sales, you made us look great! Your sales were just short of $9,000 this month plus $2864 in fundraising sales. Way to go!!!
First, I want to congratulate new demonstrator Christina Morgan (AZ) who not only reached $700 in sales to keep her full demonstrator kit FREE (June join us promotion), she also earned her first Quick Start Incentive and is receiving $75 in FREE products and now has the opportunity to move on to the next incentive level. I had the opportunity to attend Christina's debut party and have watched her take the steps to become a wonderful demonstrator. Christina also took time out of her schedule to join the new demonstrator orientation conference call so I wasn't surprised when she exceeded her goal! In showing a fantastic dedication to her business, she finished her first month at $864, in the top 3 for our entire team. Great job, Christina!!!
I would now like to welcome our new demonstrators... Jennifer Arellano (AZ) (July), Ginger Good (AR) (May), Tracy Mayberry (AZ) (July), Kelley Montana (AZ) (May), Christina Morgan (AZ) (June), Nancy JJ Simpson (GU) (June), Raquel White (AZ) (July), Heather Uhland (AZ) (June). I am so happy to have you all on our team! I can't wait to learn from you through working with you for candles. Though I am not all of your direct uplines, I am always here to help you with your Gold Canyon business.
I'd like to spotlight one of our Team Leaders, Gold Demonstrator Mary Fulk (AZ). This month Mary submitted a fundraising order of $2864 and had $1590 in team sales. Mary has been on board since 2004 and is a Charter Distributor with Gold Canyon. That means, she invested $5000 to join - back before it was so easy and not just anyone was allowed to do it. She has had literally tens of thousands of dollars in Fundraisers which is her forte and even received nationwide recognition from Gold Canyon for her efforts.
Our highest sales for the month goes to Mary Reynolds (AZ). Mary never ceases to amaze me with her massive parties. July was no different, Mary submitted $910 in a single party order! You are so awesome, Mary!!! And right on Mary's tail is Ronda Strauss (NY) another one of my favorite demos (did I say that?!) Ronda and Mary are very much alike with their consistent beefy sales. This month Ronda's sales were $864 in party AND personal website sales. I love the way you gals are promoting Gold Canyon's summer offerings!
We have another another group of sizzling sellers who really worked their businesses this month. Nancy Simpson (GU) had a $702 party, Ginger Good (AR) had $651 through personal and website sales, Heather Uhland (AZ) had a $501 party, Malanie Davis (AZ) sold $497 all through her personal website sales!!!, Christine Dunlap (AZ) sold $460 through parties and personal website orders, and Heather Mendoza (AZ) had a $452 party. You are the cream of the crop!
The other active sellers on our team this month are Jennifer Arellano, Sandra Hessert and Traci Rhodes, Kelley Montana, Angie Palmer, Mia Mayberry, Elizabeth Campbell, Barb Conboy and Kelly Ashliman.
I also wanted to share what I've been doing with my business this month. First, this blog. I hope you will take a moment to scroll down through the next few posts after you read the recognition. I try to update with ideas to help your business at least a few times each month. There is also an indexing system on this page if there is something particular you're looking for help with, go to the "Labels" section in the column on the right, find what you're looking for, click it, and all the posts pertaining to that will come up for your review. In addition to the team blog and answering lots of phone calls, I sponsored two demos and held a demonstrator orientation earlier in the month and spent 30 minutes answering questions and training new demos on our team on a conference call. Christina and Raquel both received FREE gifts from me for joining the call. I also attended both of their debut parties to support them and help answer questions. They have expressed an interest in attending local monthly demonstrator training meetings which I will start again this fall. I had a great party this month and I'm hosting my own open house this week. My monthly sales were $1,123 for party, personal and website orders. I have a fundraiser booked for this coming month. I recieved 75 Gold Dollars for sponsoring and other summer incentives. On the 10th I will receive a direct deposit from Gold Canyon for $537 for my downline commission check - this is on top of the earnings for my own sales. I also entered a float in our community Independence Day parade to market my business. I love my Gold Canyon business! It keeps me hopping but it is worth it. I hope some of you may be interested in building your business so you can enjoy even more of the fun and money it has to offer! I'm here to support you, just a phone call or an email away! Stay in touch!
Have a great August, remember this is the last month for our summer catalog. Coming soon is all of the delicious fall fragrances, decor and lots of great new products.

Team Recognition - June '09
It's my favorite time of the month - team recognition! I love sharing your accomplishments! I am happy to say we're back up to 55 on our team. This month, Gina Andersen (Guam) and I both sponsored new demos. Let's extend an enthusiastic welcome to NANCY JJ SIMPSON (GU) and CHRISTINA MORGAN (AZ) our newest team members!
Our top sellers for June are GINGER GOOD (AR) $844, RONDA STRAUSS (NY) $558, ELIZABETH CAMPBELL (AZ) $553 and GINA ANDERSEN (GU) $454. Great job, ladies!
Our other active demontrators were Kathy Kuwik (NY), Tasha Jacquez (NM), Tina Morrison (NY), Zoe Mitchell (AZ), Kathy Ashton (WA), Jessica Hernandez (AZ), Mia Mayberry (AZ), Melanie Davis (AZ), Suzanne Mortensen (IA), Nancy Simpson (GU), Lisa Thorpe (OK), Karen Thomas (AZ), Sandra Hessert (AZ), Kelly Ashliman (MA), Mary Fulk (AZ), Heather Mendoza (AZ) and Tammy Neamon (NY). That's 21 out of our 55 that are actively selling. You guys are tops!
I want to recognize our demos with leadership titles. It takes a lot of work to get promotions - and every one of you are eligible for it. We have one MANAGER on our team, Melanie Davis. To be a Manager, you need to sponsor at least 5 demonstrators and 2 must promote to Gold Demonstrators. I also want to add that when I see Melanie around town she is always wearing her beautiful Gold Canyon logo necklace that was awarded to her when she promoted to manager. You can see a similar pendant inside the back cover of your catalog. It is beautiful! Congratulations on all of your leadership accomplishments, Melanie! We also have one GOLD DEMONSTRATOR on our team, Mary Fulk. To be a Gold Demonstrator, you need maintain at least 3 active demonstrators. In addition to these fine leaders, we also have two SENIOR DEMONSTRATORS. A Sr. Demo has recruited at least one new demonstrator. Our Seniors are Kathy Ashton and Lance Mayberry (AZ). All of you, keep recruiting, building your teams, and watching your leadership levels grow!
Just for fun, I looked up our team numbers - these sales are all reflective of YOUR work: Our monthly sales for June were $5422. Quarterly sales $20,524. Year to date $42,566. And my "career to date" team sales are $385,900. Isn't it amazing!!??? Thank you all for your dedication and work. I appreciate everything you do.
I'll close this month's recognition post with a challenge I love from Eleanor Roosevelt: "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams and live the life you have imagined." Have a great summer and keep up the wonderful work in your candle businesses!!!!!!!

We also have one GOLD DEMONSTRATOR on our team, Mary Fulk. To be a Gold Demonstrator, you need maintain at least 3 active demonstrators. In addition to these fine leaders, we also have two SENIOR DEMONSTRATORS. A Sr. Demo has recruited at least one new demonstrator. Our Seniors are Kathy Ashton and Lance Mayberry (AZ). All of you, keep recruiting, building your teams, and watching your leadership levels grow!
Just for fun, I looked up our team numbers - these sales are all reflective of YOUR work: Our monthly sales for June were $5422. Quarterly sales $20,524. Year to date $42,566. And my "career to date" team sales are $385,900. Isn't it amazing!!??? Thank you all for your dedication and work. I appreciate everything you do.
I'll close this month's recognition post with a challenge I love from Eleanor Roosevelt: "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams and live the life you have imagined." Have a great summer and keep up the wonderful work in your candle businesses!!!!!!!

Shamrocks at your doorway
For luck and laughter too,
And a host of friends that never ends
Each day your whole life through!

November Recognition
I just want to scream "WOO-HOO" for all of you this month!!! Our team sales were $12,372!!! That is fantastic! I do consider myself as part of this team, so with mine included it makes it $17,269. All of your Y-T-D sales are $108,471 collectively. Our team goal for this year is $125K - so that leaves $16,529. Actually, if I include my personal sales in the yearly goal we are going to have it made in the shade!
First recognition category is for the highest order this month.... drum roll please... KATHY ASHTON in Washington submitted a $651 party. Great job! You'll see Kathy's name throughout this post - she has really been on the ball.
Next is our fall incentive from Gold Canyon, "Simply 2". Remember this is the last month to qualify for the different categories, so take inventory and set your goals now. The monthly reward of 75 Gold Dollars for submitting 4 parties of $350 OR 1 fundraiser of $2500 goes to.... RONDA STRAUSS in New York for 4 parties over $350 and also to Mary Fulk, upline for SHAUNDA JACOBS in Arizona!!!! You gals are AWESOME!
Speaking of Fundraisers, put your hands together for SHAUNDA. Submitting fundraisers requires a leadership title, but that doesn't stop her! She got her school to do the fundraiser through her upline and they submitted a fundraiser order over $6,000! The demonstrator commission was $600. The organization made out like a bandit as well, with Gold Canyon's 2% increase fundraising promotion this month, they kept about $2,500 of that. Not a bad deal!!!
Back to Simply 2, For the Monthly Bonus, KATHY ASHTON and ANGIE PALMER sponsored new demos this month and will receive an extra $50 CASH from Gold Canyon. The demonstrators who qualified for part of the cumulative reward are... KATHY ASHTON, TRACI RHODES (AZ), JOSIE MCCOLLUM (WA), RONDA STRAUSS, and MARY FULK.
I've been doing shout outs for the gals who market their websites and this month, Gold Canyon did us all a favor by offering that incredible internet sale! Our personal web orders increased, hopefully your customer awareness did as well, and they will continue to place orders that way. Let's put our hands together for all the gals who subscribe to GC's website service that got orders this month... KATHY ASHTON, MELANIE DAVIS (24), MARY FULK (4), MEGAN MORENO (5), TRACI RHODES (10), LYNN HAYES (5), SHAUNDA JACOBS (4), and RONDA STRAUSS (3).
Welcome to our brand-new demonstrators SUZANNE MORTENSEN (IA), JOSIE MCCOLLUM (WA) and TASHA JACQUEZ (NM)! Josie is off to an amazing start - did you all catch her name up there in the Simply 2 Recognition? She has submitted 2 party orders totalling $871. Josie, just one more $150 party order and you'll receive $100 in preselected products FREE from Gold Canyon for their Quick Start Program!!!
And also let's give a round of applause to our business builders - all the wonderful women who put in orders this month (only 29 out of 63 demos sold this month - so you are the cream of the crop!) My frontline: KELLY ASHLIMAN (MA), KATHY ASHTON, MELANIE DAVIS, MARY FULK, SANDRA HESSERT (AZ), ANGELA INGRAM (AZ), KATIE MAAKESTAD (AZ), HEATHER MENDOZA, MEGAN MORENO, ANGIE PALMER (AZ), DEBRA PETERSON (AZ), TRACI RHODES (AZ). Level 2 (Frontline recruits): CHRISTINE DUNLAP (AZ), LYNN HAYES, JESSICA HERNANDEZ, JANET IGLESIAS, SHAUNDA JACOBS, BONNIE LUCAS, JOSIE MCCOLLUM, KATHY MENDONCA (CA), ZOE MITCHELL (AZ), MADALENE NIEBLAS, SANDY SELLERS, RONDA STRAUSS, KAREN THOMAS (AZ), LISA THORPE. Level 3 (2nd line recruits): KATHY BULL (NY), ELIZABETH CAMPBELL (AZ), TINA KNIGHT (NY). I hope those colors don't make you dizzy :o)
Lastly I'll leave you all with the Quote of the Month:
"Gratefulness is the key to a happy life that we hold in our hands, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we have we will not be happy -- because we will always want to have something else or do something more."
Brother David Steindl-Rast
Thank you all for being a perfect part of our team. We wouldn't be complete without YOU!!!

October Recognition
It was so wonderful to see all of you in action last month! Isn't this business crazy-busy-fun in the fall? You guys brought our year-to-date team sales up to $73,121. I don't know why Gold Canyon doesn't include any of my stats in our reports - but adding my sales to all of yours we're at $80,444 as of Oct. 31. Last year we soared over $100,000 and my team goal for for 2008 was $125K... that means we have to double our efforts for November & December.
The first recognition this month goes to the first $1,000 party I've seen in a long time. I've been encouraging everyone to try for it because I sold $1,000 on my first party as a host, and haven't ever been able to top it as a demo. It's my personal goal with every party I step into. This month, Lisa Thorpe submitted a party order for $1,000.02. Way to go, Lisa!! Just so you all know, she will not only keep $250 base commission for that party, she will also recieve a 3% override commission from GC which is another $30. Plus, I'm sure she got several new customers and hopefully some additional party leads. Not too shabby! So let's talk about her host!! From October's Host Promotion she earned a diffuser of her choice, FREE, plus $150 Host Credit, plus three 1/2-off items. What a haul! Another monstrous party order came from Kathy Bull for $827.80. I asked Kathy what the secret to her success was and she replied, "My hostess had 16 people that attended so we placed all of the postcards in a basket for drawings. I gave tea lights, and a few discontinued scents. I advised everyone of our products, had a question answer session where everyone told me what they want to see in candles. When they asked I gave the answer as to how great GC are... like one question was why do candles lose their scent-I advised them on how GC scent is throughout and the different aroma's throughout the entire burning cycle. I told them our candles never lose their potency. Why do candles give off black smoke? I answered due to people don't distinguish them right-Wick dipper and trimmer were the answer. So you can see how it went from there. It was fun, and everyone got there concerns etc answered in a GC way !!"
Next we'll recognize more Simply 2 Qualifiers. The Monthly Reward of 75 Gold Dollars for submitting Fundraiser over $2,500 goes to Melanie Davis for a $3257.00 Fundraiser. The demonstrators with parties over $350 for the Simply 2 Cumulative Reward (2 new Demos + 4 Parties>$350) are: Mary Fulk, Sandra Hessert, Angie Palmer, Debra Peterson, Gina Andersen, Mary Reynolds, Ronda Strauss, Lisa Thorpe and Kathy Bull.
I'd also like to give kudos to all of the demonstrators who received orders on their personal websites this month. Many of you may have noticed the list links to our team sites in the right margin of our blog. Take advantage of this list by looking at the other sites and using what you like to improve your own. I've been working on figuring out how to get my family picture inserted in mine like Melanie has, and Megan was working on changing her font colors. Congrats to all the gals who effectively marketed their websites this month and received orders: Melanie Davis (12), Traci Rhodes (9), Mary Fulk, Megan Moreno, Gina Andersen, Lynn Hayes, Ronda Strauss, Elizabeth Campbell and Tandy Miller. Just a little note about the demonstrators whose website appears on the blog - I'm not playing favorites! These are the only ones who have shared their sites with me. I don't have access to your link through Gold Canyon. I'd love to add the rest of yours on there, but you'll need to drop me a line in order for me to do so! erin.didion@goldcanyon.us
I also want to recognize our new demonstrators, those who have been in the business for 6 months or less. Tina Knight, Hanna Modgling, Erica Aguilar (May), Tammy Neamon, Elizabeth Campbell (July), Sheridan Givens (Aug), Megan Moreno, Lynn Hayes, Tandy Miller (Sept), Zoe Mitchell (Oct). You all deserve a big hand for your efforts in getting your business off the ground.
Two thumbs up for all of our "business builders", the 29 active sellers: Kelly Ashliman, Kathy Ashton, Adrina Collins, Melanie Davis, Mary Fulk, Sheridan Givens, Sam Goodman, Sandra Hessert, Angela Ingram, Heather Mendoza, Megan Moreno, Angie Palmer, Debra Peterson, Traci Rhodes, Gina Andersen, Christine Dunlap, Lynn Hayes, Kimberly Hernandez, Shaunda Jacobs, Bonnie Lucas, Zoe Mitchell, Mary Reynolds, Ronda Strauss, Karen Thomas, Lisa Thorpe, Suzette Vildosola, Kathy Bull, Elizabeth Campbell, Tandy Miller. Keep up the great work, ladies!
And finally, our last recognition for October is for our team leaders:
Managers (more than 5 sponsors + 2 Sr. Demos): Melanie Davis, Mary Fulk; Gold Demonstrator (3-4 sponsors): Ronda Strauss; Senior Demonstrators (1-2 sponsors): Kathy Ashton, Tina Knight, Monica Vega, Lisa Thorpe, Angie Palmer, Mary Reynolds, Traci Rhodes. I need two of you Senior Demonstrators to promote to Gold so I can promote to a Gold Manager! I can't wait to see you succeed!
GREAT JOB EVERYONE!

September Recognition
First of all, I want to welcome our new demonstrators, DEBRA PETERSON (AZ), LYNN HAYES (NC), MEGAN MORENO (AZ), TANDY MILLER (AZ), ADRINA COLLINS (NM), CHRISTYN KEIL (AZ) and HEATHER MENDOZA (AZ). Let's give a big hand to our demonstrators who sponsored this month, MELANIE DAVIS (AZ), MARY REYNOLDS (AZ) and SAMANTHA GOODMAN (AZ). You guys are awesome!Thank you, everybody, for a great start in our fall season! Our team sales for the month were $12,551, that's with about half of us placing orders. You guys are great!
I want to start with recognition for the Simply 2 Incentive, which lasts from 9/1-11/30. Your parties over $350 will count for the Target Gift Cards to be awarded at the end of the Incentive (4 parties >$350+2 qualified recruits=$150 Gift Card). The demonstrators who submitted parties over $350 in September are: Melanie Davis, Angie Palmer, Gina Anderson (2), Christine Dunlap, Heather Mendoza, Mary Reynolds, Ronda Strauss, Monica Vega (2).
Next, I want to give props to our two demos who did fundraisers this month, both first-timers, Traci Rhodes (AZ) and Kathy Ashton (WA). Neither of these gals are Gold Demonstrators, so the fundraiser went through me and I had a chance to train them and observe them, both working efficiently and professionally. Coincidentally, both demonstrators had Gymnastics teams for their organizations, and both groups sold about $1000 each. You, too, can do it!
Our highest party last month goes to Gina Anderson at $800.34 (Guam). I bet your host enjoyed picking out $100 free, 2 1/2-off items, an 8oz Heritage at 1/2-off, PLUS her exclusive Potted Blooms gift! That's a lot of wax! Has your host considered selling Gold Canyon? Just think, she could have made over $200 commission for this party. Gina, please email your tips and secrets to a successful party - you did a terrific job!
Congratulations to Sheridan Givens (AZ) who completed well over $500 in sales in her first month to earn the free kit promotion.
Most personal website orders goes to Melanie Davis with 7. Melanie, how do you market your website? Please share any ideas with us. Most party orders goes to Christine Dunlap (AZ) with 4.
Thank you, everybody, for making this a great month! Keep up the super selling and remember you can always call me for help and questions.

We also discussed Gold Canyon's Simply 2 Incentive taking place 9/1-11/30. It's an additional way to be rewarded for your efforts in consistency this fall. There are higher rewards available but right now I'm just focusing on everyone achieving the first level. (See full incentive flier at Essentials online.)

Home Office Tour (Convention 2008)
Day 1: Thursday - Home Office Tours. Our tour bus picked us up from the hotel and took us to Chandler to Gold Canyon's office. All of the production, customer service, finances, everything takes place there.
There are bricks paving the way to the front of the building with all of the original "Charter" Distributors who invested the "old" way - $5,000 initial investment. They've now changed to make it easier for everyone to join - only $99 now. I'm laying on sun baked bricks that are like 400 degrees to get this picture in the bright sun with my brick. The name of my business was "The Candle Closet".
Close up
Here we are in the warehouse, they have about 12 aisles like this, floor to high ceiling, with candles ready to be picked and packed for orders. We didn't get to go inside the "top secret" section where the candles are poured.
I don't remember this conveyor belt the last time I went through, I was impressed at how fast the boxes travel through it, from the picking line they are dropped, scanned and travel here for weiging and shipping/packing labels. All was quick and computerized, fun to watch.
Here's the new expanded warehouse. It's an additional 100,000 sq. ft. of space to grow into. The ceilings are higher and more skylights to make it brighter. Loved the motion lights, as you walk the lights over head turn on automatically, so only the parts that are being use light up.
After the tour we met in the employee break room for refreshments. Of course it was decorated to the max in our 50s theme. It was certainly a party in there.
In the hallways of the office, they have large (huge) banners with all of last year's recognition posted. Remember, these are the top 100 out of 25,000 demonstrators nationwide. I made it for Highest Average Frontline Sales 2007
Here's a close-up, I should have stepped back so I could see my numbers, not sure how much.
These two pictures are out of order, another one of our team members, Mary made it to the fundraising chart. Go Mary!
There was fun tour-y info on the busses for the 30-min drive from the hotel. They gave all kinds of AZ trivia and even brought some huge lizards for us to hold and learn about. Here's the gal holding the lizard, and "Angel Island Chuckwalla" on her chest. It was gross and freaked me out being so near to her while she was doing the presentation. I didn't want to hold it but lots of passengers did.
It was a fun tour, from start to finish took about 2 1/2 hours. I look forward to sharing the experience IN PERSON with all of you next year!
