Highlights: Lydia Martin's workshop on promoting. Blew my socks off! Her system is so friggin' basic that it's scary! I can't wait to try it this week!

Do you have notes or does she have notes posted somewhere?

Did anyone find out if Jillian Grant posted notes somewhere? I don't see anything on her website...

Way to go Chantelle! I'm up 250% over last year. My Aug is tanking badly and I'm not sure how I'm going to recover. I have some ideas but my heart isn't in it right now. And I'm bummed. I need to snap out of whatever this is that I'm going through!!!!

Colleen, That is EXACTLY how I have been feeling:yuck: I sprained my ankle and was couch bound for 4 days and it always really throws me. Plus my husband finally started his trucking job, BUT I have to find a sitter for the kids for every show and event. It is a challenge. I am trying to snap out of it. If I can even increase at all this month I will be happy. We can do it together!!:sun:

I am up 241% and already up 100% for August. I think new directors are the ones who will earn this, if they had nothing last year and $1000 this year they are up 1000%

Jenni, I thought that too when I was looking at it last night. That's ok too.

I have always had a 'business crush' on Lydia Martin. She's one of those people who just 'speak' to me every time I hear her train/talk.
Thanks for sharing!
 
Lydia Martin call with Senior Directors - August 1st, 2011

Playback number 712-432-1085
Access Code 143298#

Soooo, since I promoted to Senior earlier this month, Linda Bowles is now my Sales Manager. Linda called me today - right after I read the file that Colleen shared. During that call, she shared a CALL she lead on August 1st where Lydia basically re-created her workshop for the Senior Director team!!!

It's basically word for word, but if you're like me and need to hear things to get it, you'll want to listen to this call. It will be available until September 1st.


It's worth a listen!!
