What an exciting 2 weeks it has been!  You gals are just amazing...I can't wait to see what kind of fall selling season our team has!  Before I share highlights from the past 2 weeks, here are a few reminders...

• The early bird rate of $38 for Atlanta Regional Training ends TOMORROW!!!  We have 10 gals from our team going!!!!  That is the most we have ever taken & I could not be more excited!  I would love, love, love for YOU to join us!!!!  So, go register today!   :)

• Remember our August Home Party Challenge!  The consultant who holds the most home parties in August will be crowned the "A-Team August Home Party Queen" and will receive an Usborne bag full of Usborne goodies from me!  How is your August home party calendar looking?  You still have plenty of time to schedule some parties, so get on the phone today!

• Join us this Monday night, August 13 at 8:30 for our weekly team training call.  This week we are going to revisit the very first topic we covered 5 weeks ago:  Promoting to Team Leader.  New consultants...you want to be sure to be on the call this week and learn WHY and HOW to reach this first most key step in building a business with Usborne!   Here is the link to join us:  http://www.anymeeting.com/akersteam1.
