Welcome New Recruits - Nov!

Well, my downline is now up to 88! I only need a dozen virtuous women to reach my goal of 100 by Christmas!!!!!! Not only I will have a special gift for the 100th consultant to join my downline before December 25th. I will also have something special for their sponsor!


If you think Dec. is too late to join you are wrong! Although our new kit will be released Mid-Jan for the Spring Catalog launch on Feb. 1st, now is a GREAT time to buy your kit! Here are 5 reasons...
#1 You can use it for last minute Christmas presents
#2 Show it to friends and family that you will see over the holidays and be both the hostess and consultant of your very first book party... you'll get a large utility tote for only $5 plus your "guests" will get great 50% off deals
#3 Show it to friend and family that you think may want to SELL it and start building your team right away
#4 Take pre-orders over the holidays for the Jan. thermal tote sale for another book party and earn the "after party bucks" as both the hostess AND the consultant (WOW does this add up in lots of FREE Thirty-One stuff)... and btw you have 2 of the first 3 parties you need to meet your first start swell reward
#5 Submit $500 in orders from Jan. 1-15th and you will be automatically shipped a $40 Spring Add On Kit!

Today it all started in 2003!

I saw this on Jenny Hillenburg's facebook page today. Jenny is the very first Thirty-One consultant and I am in her downline and so happy Cindy met her so I could find Thirty-One!





Jenny Ward Hillenburg Funny Thirty-One story....for some reason I keep old calendars. I have no idea why. I knew that I had my first Thirty-One party in October so I thought I would see if I could find it on my 2003 calendar. I found it! It was 7 years ago today that Cindy Monroe came to my house to do a Thirty-One party. The night that changed my life forever!

Go with an Open Heart!

First, let me start this story by saying HOW MUCH I LOVE MY JOB and now I'll tell you why!!!! See, I have this awesome job where I set my own hours and find and do business everywhere I go and inspire others to do the same! Here is what happened on friday that gets me all giddy with excitement....

On friday, a friend was in town from NC that I didn't know about. I had some stuff I should do in the office but there was always monday. So I got to spend the afternoon with a good friend instead of my computer! I took her for a late lunch at Issac's in Hershey. Some how (like I do in most conversations) I mentioned to the waitress "You should become a 31 consultant!" and she said "What's 31? I want to have a party!" She wasn't even supposed to be working but they asked her to stay late. I just talked to her today and she did book her party and has already begun her wish list!

So after lunch we go over to the outlets for some shopping and my phone rings.... It's Jennifer Vokoun, one of my newest team mates. She tells me "Julia, I'm driving 4 hours to WV to do a show and only 4 people are coming!" I knew she was skeptical, but I've know from my experience that bigger isn't always better. After all, one of my best parties only had 4 guests who spent about $750! I told her "I want you to go with an open heart and see where the evening leads you. I promise you it won't be a waste of your time!" I told her you never know who your next "super star" is going to be and she could be at that party!!! So today Jennifer calls me super excited and tells me that the party was a huge success! Not only were her sales well above the company party average but she got 3 bookings and 2 who might want to sign up! She's going back for a 31 Party Weekend in November!

I always say "You Just Never Know" where your next booking, hostess or recruit will be and where that will lead you and your team! Everyday is an opportunity to share the blessing Thirty-One has brought to your life so you can bless someone else's life!

Welcome New Recruits!!!

Wow! The numbers keep rising. My team goal is to reach 100 in my downline before Christmas! I think it's modest but at the same time will nearly double the size of my current team. That's .19 recruits per month per person. If EVERYONE has just 1 recruit per month for the next 4 months that would be 228 new recruits! I think this will prompt my own personal team recruiting challenge.... stay tuned!

Consultant Hostess Exclusive SOLD OUT!

I must apologize to my team b/c yesterday I sent a reminder email about the Consultant Hostess Exclusive Product Sale that ends today before I checked TOT to see that it was SOLD OUT WEDNESDAY! Another case of "you snooze you loose" :( I'm trying to figure out how I can promote "Hostess Exclusive" items when I don't even have one myself to entice potential hostesses? I guess I can tell them even I can't get one! They'd be among the elite to own a 31 travel bag!

Skirt Purses... What's the Difference?

A lot! I personally just couldn't fit what I need to in the "old" skirt purse so I was elated to see the City Skirt Purse launched! They both have interchanging "skirts" which means you purchase the "base" in brown or black along with your choice of 1 skirt. Additional skirts can be purchased to change the look of your purse w/o having to actually switch the contents inside! Our catalogs come out every 6 months with new skirt patterns so you can always update your look for the season.
The City Skirt Purse is much larger as you can see in the photos I took. It also has a FLAT bottom that measures 5"x13". The Skirt Purse is about 3.5"x14" across the bottom but is soft and does not have a plastic insert that defines the bottom. They both have a zippered interior pocket and cell phone pocket (no zipper), both have a magnetic enclosure. The Skirt Purse closes against itself at the top like a book, the City Skirt Purse has a 3" extender so the top of the purse is slightly open when "closed".

Both purses have 4 hooks on each side that the skirts slip onto. The Skirt Purse has snaps that open so you can easily get to the hooks. The snaps on the City Skirt Purse don't open but you can roll the top up to get underneath to the hooks.
Skirt Purse $42; Skirts $15 Shown in Brown with Pixie Pink Medallion
City Skirt Purse $59; Skirts $20 Shown in Black with Onyx Blossom
To Purchase either purse CLICK HERE.
To see more product details see the shopping guide on page 39.

Consultants can ONLY order them on August 12, 13 &14th and can order 1 of each print for a total of 4 items at the hostess price of $45 and $65.

Host a $1,000+ party you can buy 2 exclusive items!!

This is in addition to our already great hostess reward plan:
