Cruising the Caribbean and Dream Big Tour

In January, my friend and upline was in Puerto Vallarta thanks to Thrive Life.  Because of her efforts as a Thrive Life Independent Consultant, she won a trip for two to Puerto Vallarta.  I was jealous but she totally earned it.  She's a rock star! 

At convention this month, Thrive Life announced ALL Thrive Life Independent Consultants have the opportunity to win a CRUISE to the Caribbean in January 2015.  Now it's my turn to be a rock star, and you can be too!

How?  Join my team today and start earning points towards the Fantasy Getaway cruise.  ALL consultants who earn 2000 points by Oct 31, 2014, will win a Caribbean cruise for two.  NOW is the time to sign up!  2000 points is VERY doable!  Contact me to learn more about becoming a consultant or to sign up.  To sign up, you'll need my consultant id (5892) and my email address (imthriving@gmail.com).  In September, you want to be one of those saying "I've got it!" and not one saying "I should have signed up this Spring!"

Want to learn more from the top?  There are a few Dream Big Tour events still upcoming.  Jason Norton, Executive Vice President, will be presenting May 6 in Fredericksburg, VA, and May 7th in Philadelphia, PA.  Eric Morgan, Director of Marketing, will be presenting May 27-29th in British Columbia and Alberta.  Get times and locations for these 5 events on the Dream Big Tour webpage.  Consultants who sign up at these meetings will receive $40 off their starter kit.  Don't forget my name and to take my consultant ID (5892) and email (imthriving@gmail.com) with you to join my team while at the event.  I attended one of these meetings in Springfield, MO, earlier this year and it was fabulous!

In addition, Sandi Pearce, a Platinum Executive Thrive Life Independent Consultant, will be having cooking classes and Opportunity/Training Meetings in Ohio at the end of this week.  Contact me to learn more about Sandi's meetings.

December Most for the Host

Most for the Host is back!  When you book your Shelf Reliance party with me by December 15th and close the party by January 31st, you will earn an additional product at half price, up to $500 retail value!  If you've been thinking about purchasing a THRIVE Package, a Food Rotation System (like the Harvest 72") or a larger emergency item, this is a great opportunity to get it at half price!  Here are some ideas I shared from the special host offer in July.

If you've been thinking about becoming a Shelf Reliance Consultant, this special offer also extends to the Consultant Starter Kits!  That means the Consultant Starter Kit would be $160 (plus shipping and handling) instead of $199, and the Consultant Value Starter Kit (which is a great deal already) would be $231 (plus shipping and tax) instead of $289.  (Remember half-price item is based on retail value.)

To qualify for this half price product, the party must be booked by December 15th but can be held anytime before January 31st and must process at least $200 in sales to be eligible.

A few notes:
You can use this special offer on unadvertised specials (those specials only available through me, not available in my online store) but it is based on the retail price.
The double dip does not count towards the $200 minimum party sales.
Setting up a new Q DOES count toward the $200 minimum at monthly budget x3 (like normal)! ($70 Q budget = $210 in party sales)
This special offer is in addition to the regular host benefits!   You may use both regular host benefits and the Most Host benefit on the same order. You may not, however, use both benefits on the same item
You can use the half-price offer on an item greater than $500 but a maximum discount you may receive is $250.

Count me in!
Want to take advantage of this offer?  Call me at 417-886-9489 to book your party today!  Remember it needs to be booked with me by Dec. 15th  and held before Jan. 31st.

The Consultant Value Starter Kit

Have you been considering becoming a Shelf Reliance Independent Consultant?  As a consultant, you earn commission and free product on orders you take for others, and also on your personal orders (outside of your Q). 

The Consultant Value Starter Kit is a great way to get started!  With a price of $289, it contains over $270 of THRIVE Foods at Q Club pricing!  The Consultant Value Starter Kit also includes the THRIVE Cookbook (normal Q Club price of $14.95) so even without adding in all the business supplies (including a THRIVE apron, brochures, order forms, and training materials) you're at a value of $285 at Q Club prices. 

With the Black Friday Sale coming up this weekend, now is a great time to make this investment and give your new business a jump start!  Contact me today to get set up!  You can also sign up online here and be sure to input my Consultant ID# 5892.

So what's in the Consultant Value Starter Kit?
One of each of the following pantry cans will be sent to you:

Powdered Milk Instant Milk (#10 can) Butter Powder Egg Powder Chicken (FD) TVP Ham Peach Drink

Join My Team Bonus

Have you heard about the great sale on the Shelf Reliance Consultant Starter Kits?  Through Sept. 14, 2012, all Starter Kits are 20% off!  To be a Consultant requires only 2 things - a starter kit and an active minimum $50 Q ($50 in product, plus shipping and tax).  As a consultant, you can earn money, free product and the ability to purchase items at half price.  For more details on the commission plan, check out your earning potential here.

More Motivation - an I'm THRIVing Bonus!

Need more motivation that NOW is the time to start your business?  While the starter kit sale is going on through September 14th, I am also offering a bonus to those who join my Shelf Reliance team!  When you sign up under me and schedule 3 parties in your first 30 days, I will  provide you with 2 additional items not included in your starter kit.  These items are perfect for party presentations.

First in the I'm THRIVing! bonus is the Cansolidator Cupboard.  With the same First In First Out philosophy of the free-standing Shelf Reliance Food Rotation Systems, it easily fits inside your kitchen cupboards.

Next, choose between a Pantry Can of your favorite flavor of THRIVE Yogurt Bites OR a Pantry can of the THRIVE Freeze-dried Cheddar Cheese.  

The yogurt bites are one of my family's favorite snacks.  I personally don't like yogurt but LOVE these.  My daughters and husband are also addicted to them.  For personal use, I love that I can send them in lunch boxes and what they don't eat is still good for the next day (unlike sending regular yogurt).  As a consultant, these are super easy and DELICIOUS for sampling.   The THRIVE Yogurt Bites come in 7 flavors: Cherry, Vanilla, Blueberry, Orange, Strawberry, Passion fruit, or Pomegranate.

Your other option is the THRIVE Freeze-Dried Cheddar Cheese.  At parties, you will want to let your host and guests sample this cheese reconstituted, but also in it's freeze dried form.  It is delicious either way.  Melt some of the reconstituted cheese between two tortillas for a quick and delicious sample recipe.  Your guests will be amazed at how easily it melts, and the great taste!

To get started, or for more information, give me a call at 417-886-9489 today!

Looking for a New Opportunity?

Are you looking for a way to earn extra income?  Or maybe you're looking for a way to build up your own home store for less?  If either of these are you, there are two upcoming opportunities for you to learn more about becoming a Shelf Reliance Independent Consultant, in addition to simply talking to me.

  

1.     Shelf Reliance weekly conference call on Tuesday, May 22 at 1 pm CDT/12 pm MDT.  Here's the summary::   

"Topic:  Shelf Reliance History/ Opportunity.

You are in for a treat! This call will feature our founders, Steve Palmer and Jason Budge, as well as Executive Vice President Jason Norton. They will share their inspiring story of how Shelf Reliance came about as well as the amazing opportunity our home party program provides! Through this call, you will learn why Shelf Reliance is your best opportunity to realize your thriving life.

To join the call, please dial (917) 338-1451 and use passcode 578489#. You may also listen to each call through your computer and follow along with presenter slides by visiting  www.shelfreliance.com/meeting.html."

I have participated in several of these calls in the 2 months I've been an Independent Consultant and I always come away with something that helps me not only in my business but also in my personal life.

 2.  Training Meeting in Branson, MO

My upline sponsors are offering a local training meeting for current and prospective consultants on Thursday, May 24th. 

11 am - 12 pm  will be a Shelf Reliance Home Party, complete with presentation and food sampling.  just like we would do for a host. 

12:00 - 12:30 pm will be a THRIVEing lunch while we answer your general questions.

12:30-1:30 pm will be "back office" training. 

If you'd like to attend the training meeting/Tasting in Branson, please let me know.  If you want to go for the Tasting portion, you are more than welcome to come with me.

I thoroughly enjoy being a part of the Shelf Reliance family.  They treat their Independent Consultants very well, constantly encouraging us without a "Sell, sell, sell!" pressure.  I get to help others become more self-reliant and prepared for the future and I'm working towards my family's financial goals and dreams.

What can I make?

There are two different ways you earn commission on the parties you hold.

1. Q Orders - Between 20% - 32% on all first month Q orders, depending on the total $ amount of all the Q’s you sign up for that month.

2. One Time Orders - You are paid 10% of all one time orders.

 More details about the commission plan are here.

As you build your team with consultants under you, you earn ASAP bonuses and up to 2% on your team's sales for up to 3 levels below you.

In addition to commission, for orders outside of a Home Tasting or for Home Tastings that you host, you also receive the host benefits which includes 10% of party sales in free product (retail price) plus opportunities to earn half off product.  Details on host benefits are here.

How much to start? 

To become a Consultant, the basic kit costs $199 + shipping (my total was $220.08).  With just one $1000 order, you can basically get back your investment (10% Commission and 10% free product) - plus you get all the fun stuff in the Consultant Kit.  When I started we set a goal for when we wanted our investment back and we have beat that original goal easily - thanks to all of you!  Your Consultant Kit comes with enough samples for you to host multiple Tasting parties to get you started. 

After that initial investment, you can have an online store for a monthly fee (check mine out).  I found this to be essential for my business, but you may not.

What's the catch?  There's always a catch?

The other requirement (in addition to the Consultant Kit) to being a consultant is to sign up under your Independent Consultant (me) with a monthly Q of $50 in product (plus shipping and taxes so about $60).   Your Q can not be under yourself.  As long as you keep your Q active, you can be an active Independent Consultant.  This allows you to receive that 10% Commission on any orders outside of your Q that you place for yourself or for others.  And if you sign someone up with their own Q, under you, you receive 20-32% of their 1st month's Q budget and then 5% every month after that.  Details on that are here.  The benefit of the Q is that your food storage continues to grow each month and you can take advantage of the monthly sales as part of your Q.

What support do I get after I sign up?

As a member of my Shelf Reliance team, I am here to give you training and support.  My sponsor is also available for additional assistance.  In addition, Shelf Reliance provides a weekly conference call to help us be more familiar with the products, specials, how the business works, become more motivated, etc.  Finally there are lots of websites that are available to help you build your business the way YOU want it to be.  That's just one of the many things I love about Shelf Reliance - It's my business and I can grow it as much or as little as I want, in the way that I want.  If I want to focus on home parties and not online, I can.  If I want to focus my attention online, I can do that.

Okay, I'm interested.  What do I do now?

If you are thinking "This is perfect for me!", give me a call at 417-886-9489 or email me and we'll get you started.  If you're thinking "This might be just what I'm looking for but I want to learn more", come with me to the training in Branson next Thursday and see what it's all about.  I would love to have you join my team!
