Just now in my mail I received a notecard:
On the outside: You are a Top Achiever!
Preprinted on the inside: Congratulations on your accomplishment!
Then a HAND WRITTEN note about my sales & show number in my first 30 days! There was even little star confetti that fell out of the card when I opened it!
Way to cool - and it was not even from my recruiter or my director. And as much as I hate to admit it, I don't even know the person that it is signed by (Linda Bowles), I just know that it feels good:D :D .
I so needed to receive that - it is very encouraging!
Thanks for letting me share!!
 
Great job! That would make my day!
 
Isn't it great to be recognized for what you have done?!?!

That is one of the reasons that I LOVE this company and my Director!

Congrats - I love the recognition program During my SS frist month I recruited someone from my first show and I got a card form our sales manager (Suzie Lite) that said You're a star complete with the confetti and everything Made me feel very special. I told her how much it meant to me when I got the opportunity to meet her

Thanks for all the kind words!! In all honesty though, I have not been able to repeat it in months 2 & 3, although I'm not complaining. It's balancing out now I guess. Now I just need to learn how to recruit!!

Awesome!!! Way to go!

I just got a card from Susie Lite and one from my NED when I promoted. They are both tacked to my bulletin board!
 
Linda Bowles is a Sales Manager at the Home Office. She coaches & trains Execs & their lineage. You ARE special to have your sales numbers stand out. GREAT JOB!
 
Susie Lite is too.
 
Wow! Congratulations!
 
Wow congrats on such a fantastic first month! Did you check the super starter recognition on consultants corner? I am sure you are listed as one of the top s/s that month! (It usually shows a month or two back) What an accomplishment! Donna
 
Congrats!! Doesn't that make you feel special...I saved mine and put in a book I made that I pass around at shows for recruiting. I want potential recruits to see how PC cares about you no matter what level you are!
Good luck to you with the rest of PC future :)
