Christi’s Champions Unit newsletter “The real champions are the ones who vigorously act on their dreams and work, really work, toward their goals.” –Mary Kay Ash July 2012 (June 2012 results) A Note from your Director CHAMPIONS WE DID IT! The sun stood still on the last day of the Mary Kay year – we got a whole extra 24 hours to wrap up our goals and you all pulled it through! We worked all the way till the end and together accomplished Honors Society, earning our unit the prestigious Triple Crown, for which we will be honored at Leadership Conference in LA this January. I am so proud of the determination, the dedication, and the wholehearted team spirit that I saw from so many of you. You are truly deserving of our title and I hope you proudly announce to your parties upon introduction that you come to them from a top-honored Triple Crown Unit in Mary Kay and are proud to share with them the BEST skin care in the world! With the tenacity you showed in the last stretch of our year and the great start we have so far through July, I know we will reach our goals this year as well. Here’s the plan for 2013: We’re looking for LEADERS! Mary Kay has opened up SO MUCH opportunity for us and is helping in every way they can to achieve the company goal of 3000 new Sales Directors by 2013. We’re about halfway there as a company and we’re halfway through the year as well. I’m looking to bring 3 of you with me as brand new Sales Directors to our Leadership Conference in Los Angeles in January. Will it be you picking up that brand new gold Kate Spade handbag and the $500 cash card? Qualifying for the exclusive night at Universal Studios that Mary Kay has RENTED OUT THE WHOLE PARK FOR THE NIGHT!!!! It all starts with making a decision to get in RED, to share this incredible opportunity with everyone you meet, to take on the company challenge of 50 faces in 50 days and launch your business into new life and new levels. I am here to support you and help you reach those dreams. What would a Director level paycheck do for your family? How many lives can you impact if you were given the opportunity? What would you teach them? Take a few minutes to seriously consider how your life could be better by making a few sacrifices now to enjoy the long-term rewards in just a few months. If God has planted the dream on your heart, He has given you the tools to accomplish it. Now it’s your turn to pick them up and use them. Share with me your goal so I can help you track it and achieve it. YOU CAN DO IT!! Four $1000 giveaways!! We have been invited to participate in a giveaway by National Sales Director Jamie Vrinios! Here’s how it works…she will be drawing 4 names in November – each name will receive a $1000 CASH bonus. Here’s how you can get in the drawing: for every $600 order you place your name goes in once. For every qualified recruit you get, your name goes in once. (July, August, September and October each count and each month restarts again) There is no limit for how many times your name can go into the drawing. Do you want it?!?
