Hi all,

I just had to share. I signed a new consultant on the 16th and I just got my post card in the mail! I am so excited and hoping to get a few more signed very soon!

Just had to share
Kim
 
Awesome Kim, Share away!:) Doing the Happy Dance for You!:)
 
Save those postcards! Jean reminded us on the FD call today that there will be something special at Leadership related to them. :)

Yes, I put the postcard in a cubby in my desk so I would remember where it was at (now of course, that may mean when Leadership get's here that I may be running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to remember where I put it!!) :p

The postcard is cute with a cartoon of Jean on the front. It doesn't give any info on why we need to save them just that we need to and bring them to Leadership. I will look at it more carfully when I get home.
 
They announced from the stage at Conference that there would be some sort of recognition, and they would be redeemable for something.
 
Collect them - Who knows you...You could be in the top 100 It's a graet prize pack and something special at Leadership

Although I am not even mentioning Leadership to my hubby anytime soon
 
Get into Conference Club for Leadership. It's an easy and painless way to save the registration fee. And if you do one show a month that's your "Leadership" show, that helps, too. Put all the commission from that show into an account to cover expenses.

I did Conference Club already and am ready for registration... Ok, ok I know I should get caught back up from National Coference but I am just ready to get it going.

I like your idea of one show a month to go toward Conference expenses. I think I have heard it before but I believe you saying it now has got me motivated. It is a plan.
 
Humm they said that you would get a postcard for all recruits as of July, I signed someone at the very begining of the month, and I still haven't gotten anything.... guess I should go check my mailbox

You should contact home office if you don't find it. I am looking forward to getting more and more :o
 
I just signed someone on Sunday - I'll be keeping an eye on my mailbox this week!!!!
 
Ok so I guess that's what I get for not checking my mail everyday..... it was in there
 
Kim~

Congrats!!

Jean is such a cutie! I thought that the picture of the postcard (they showed one of them at conference...) was too funny! Seems odd to see Jean as a caricature! (sp?)

Kelly, I am so glad you said that they showed one at conference. I was searching through the newsletter, the e-mails from home office since conference, every where trying to remember where I had seen it.
