It was worth the six hour drive!

I loved being able to present Leslie with

the May High Sales Award and enjoy the evening with her!

Thank you Leslie for coming!  Unfortunately, I missed her picture with Tami. 

I know that she has one, though.

My sister-in-law, Debbie came, too!

She enjoyed meeting Tami and having her basket signed. 

It is one of her first baskets and my sweet brother-in-law bought it for her.

I love that guy!

When Debbie saw Tami, she said, "She's so tiny!"

Debbie is a wannabe consultant.  She just doesn't know it, yet.

I was grateful for her hospitality!  I stayed the night with her.

So gracious!

When she spoke, we were all ears in an intimate setting.  There were less than fifty people there.  It was fun to hear The Longaberger Story in her words.  We are a grass roots and home based company, made up of ordinary people who do extraordinary things.  Tami is on tour to understand what we are doing.  It is a discovery and learning time for her.  One of the unique things about our company is that it has four generations in the marketplace and that our lives are entwined and comfortable.  We are family.  Believe in Longaberger.  Share Longaberger.  Longaberger believes in you.      

Elizabeth McCormick entertained, encouraged and educated us!  I will be posting more from her later.  But, l'll just start with this idea: Nobody prepares me for my day, but me!  Boost your confidence each morning with the following words:  I AM... (insert positive phrases about yourself here - smart, pretty, funny, genuine, trustworthy, strong, happy, loyal, successful).

~Let's try this one "I AM loving Longaberger and I know that you will, too!"

With the right attitude, what can you accomplish?~

More coming in future posts.

Moving on to the displays...

Don't you just want to order something?  Wouldn't your friends want to order Longaberger if you just gave them the opportunity?  Think about it...

A sample letter from Wendy

I'm still short of my sales goal for the year, and I don't have much time left to reach it.  I thought I might try emailing some past hostesses and customers whose workplaces are large and asking them to take up a catalog order or at least lay out some literature in the break room, etc.  Here's what I might say:

Casey,

Wouldn't you love to add a fresh look to your home with some new Longaberger products . . . for free?  Longaberger is offering double hostess dollars in June, and you could qualify for free baskets or pottery by just taking up an order at work or with family and friends.  For example, if you gathered up $350 in orders, you would receive $100 in free products plus two half-price selections.  And the rewards go up from there! 

I'd love to bring you some flyers and WishLists to pass around and even loan you a basket with a few products to share.  I can create a custom email for you to forward to friends as well.  Our summer baskets and pottery are colorful and fun, and of course we still have our useful regular-line items.  You can call or email with your orders, I'll respond with totals, and you'll be ready to choose your fun new things.  You might even get some early holiday gift shopping done!

Our Longaberger sales year ends June 30, and I'm a little short of my goal, so I would appreciate your help in reaching it.  You may have friends and coworkers familiar with Longaberger who haven't seen some of the exciting new baskets, pottery pieces, and other products we have this summer.  Thanks for reading, and I'll hope to hear back from you right away.
