Weekly Highlights

This has been such an exciting week!  I was reminded all over again of one of the many reasons I LOVE this business.  On Monday night, we had our training call which was lead by the wonderful Katie Meyerpeter.  And, on Tuesday night we had our Birmingham area team meeting at Jim N' Nick's.  Both nights were so much fun and a reminder to me of the amazing friendships that this business has brought me...a completely unexpected perk that I had no idea about when I first became a consultant 5 years ago.  I am SO THANKFUL for all of you!!!  That dinner at Jim N' Nick's actually moved down Hwy 280 to Starbucks for coffee afterwards and resulted in 2 more consultants on our team!  :)  So, on that note, here are some highlights from this week...

• Mandy Golightly (Helena, AL) had 2 new consultants join her team...welcome Hanna Riggins (Birmingham, AL) and Kara Westbrook (Hoover, AL)!  Mandy also had a great home party this week!

• Kara Westbrook (Hoover, AL) already has a new consultant on her team...welcome Maranda Gurley (Vestavia Hills, AL)!

• We had another new consultant join our team...welcome Leslie Guin (Alabaster, AL)!

• Kristy Trahan (Houma, LA) has scheduled her kick-off party!

• Hanna Riggins (Birmingham, AL) has scheduled her kick-off party!

• Melinda Thompson (Batesville, MS) talked to her Office Depot and was able to be a SPONSOR for their Teacher Appreciation Day...for free!!!  Her logo will be on the back of the t-shirts and a flyer about her business will go home with all the teachers! 

A few reminders...

• We found out this week that Heather Cobb, National Sales Manager at Usborne Books & More, will be at the Atlanta Regional Training on Saturday, August 25.  If you have not already registered, please do that asap!  You don't want to miss out on this GREAT day of training!!

• How are you doing on the August Home Party Challenge!?  Remember, the consultant who holds the most home parties in August gets a bag full of Usborne goodies from me!  Filling your August calendar means you need to be on the phone NOW...don't wait!  :)

• Don't forget about our team training call on Monday night, July 23 at 8:30!  Tara Maple will be leading the call on Recruiting!  Here is the link to join us:  http://www.anymeeting.com/akersteam1
