A Super September!

I continue to be amazed at the growth of our team! As of today we have 564consultants on this downline!!!! WaHOOOO!! September was another great month.....our sales total was $218,042! AWESOME! I have a feeling that this month (October) is going to be the BIGGEST ever! The customer special is the best of the year (in my opinion) and the consultant incentives are unbelievable! In case you do not know the company is giving away tons of amazing prizes this month! Each week that you enter a $450 show your name will be put in a drawing...this weeks (Oct. 9-15) is for a Bose Sound Dock, (Oct. 16-22) hand held camcorder (I REALLY WANT ONE OF THESE!) and for Oct. 23-31 they are giving away LG Digital Blu-Ray Disc Players.....did I mention they are giving away 300 of these each week??!! And if you submit a $450 show each week,you will be put in a drawing for a FREE plasma TV! I am going to try and check the list carefully when they post the winners each week, but also email me if you win! I hope all of you submit your HIGH dollar shows and win, win, win!

A few other reminders.....
**Be sure to order your gift guides so that you will have plenty to show at your parties.
** They have made a great Lil Expressions order form that you can download on the www.thirtyonetoday.com website that will be a lot simpler when customers order the notecards or the new bag. I downloaded one and I am going to go make some color copies so that I have plenty on hand for my shows.
** The November specials are great too! Customer....spend $31 and get a zipper pouch FREE! Hostess..... host a $450 show and get a skirt purse for $10.
** Remember the cutoff for ordering and being guaranteed that it is back for Christmas is December 13th! Since December is a "short" ordering month you want to make those first two weeks of December really count. A couple of ideas is host your own Christmas Open House, send out Christmas postcards announcing December specials and detailing some specials of your own, email some of your friends' husbands and let them know about some items that you think some of your friends might like for Christmas and set your mind to doing at least 2 shows during those 2 weeks!

Be sure to check www.mythirtyone.com daily....maybe even twice a day for updates on products, business news, and new ideas on how to improve your business and be the BEST Thirty-One consultant you can be!

August Stats

Hello everyone! I hope that everyone is having a GREAT Fall-selling season! This new catalog is amazing and our August sells proves it! This downline sold $318,411 in products and signed up 113 new recruits!!!!!! I was in shock of all your hard work! Thirty-One is blessing so many lives! September seems to be off to a great start too. I can't wait to see what the holiday sales are like.....I have a little feeling that more records will be broken!

A few reminders
**As of yesterday both skirt purses and as well as the skirts are on stop sell. There is a patent question involving them. Please go to www.thirtyonetoday.com to hear a message from Cindy. She will explain this issue.
**All active consultants should have received (or will be receiving this week) your holiday guides. We can begin selling out of these on October 1st.
** Try to keep your calendar booked this fall. This is the best time to have shows because everyone begins shopping for Christmas. The next two months have AWESOME customer specials which really help us boost our sells! The October special is spend $31 and get a organizing utility tote for $5. The November special is spend $31 and get a FREE zipper pouch!!!

Monthly Stats and Info

Wow..... I cannot believe that it is August 2010! Last year at this time I was about to have my second son and now we are celebrating his first birthday next weekend!!! Time sure does fly when you are having fun. Speaking of fun, I enjoyed meeting a lot of you at our meeting last Thursday night. I learned so much from our speaker, Shari Hudspeth, and have been trying to implement a lot of her business strategies and suggestions! A big thank you to Sarah Overman who was in charge of the night. Everything turned out great!
I hope that all of you are enjoying the new catalog. I began my 31 journey 3 years ago this month and I believe that this is the BEST catalog yet! I LOVE the fabrics and I am getting LOTS of great feedback from customers who are loving it too! July was a great month for our team. This downline sold $147,784 and we are getting close to having 400 consultants on our team!!! I can't believe it. God is so good and I know he is truly blessing this business!

June Stats

Well, we hit a HUGE goal in June..... this downline hit the 300+ mark!!! Today we offically have 332 consultants. This is amazing and I am so proud of this team! Our overall sales for June was $123,621.94! Yippee!! I have a feeling that July is going to be AMAZING becasue of the great special....$5 Littles. I have already taken advantage of this great sale myself and added several onto a few orders. They make great door prizes, hostess gifts, and I even bought a few for my son's preschool teachers for a back to school gift!
I know that several of you are getting back from National Conference. I apologize for not being there. I am still nursing Braden and since he is crawling and into EVERYTHING taking him was NOT an option. However, I am already thinking and planning for next year's conference. If you got to go this year and would like to share some ideas, tips, and thoughts with us, please leave a comment or email me and I will post it on our blog.

FYI
---If you have $500 in personal volume by July 15th then you will earn a $40 add-on kit for FREE!
--- The $40 and $80 add-on kits are available for purchase after July 15th...... begin booking those fall parties NOW!
--- Check the Thirty-One website daily for updates on stop-sell items. Some of the inventory is getting low becasue of the end of the spring/summer catalog.
--- There is a new procedure for items that are missing from orders. The home office is asking that you call the call center and report the item missing instead of doing an online return.
--- If you live in the Knoxville, TN area make plans to attend a great meeting on Thursday, August 5th. We are having an area wide meeting with lots of consultants and Jenny Hillenburg. Email me for more info.
