Awaiting Convention

Woo Hoo! We are in Salt Lake awaiting Send Out Card's National Convention 2010! We got here Monday, spent the day today visiting Mike's parents/kids/grandkids. And tomorrow are participating in the Salt Lake Treat-em right, to be followed up by the 3 day National Convention! Missed it last year, don't plan to do that again.

Watch this space Friday for more news from the floor of the convention.

In the meantime! Rather than slowing our progress by being out of town, we have stepped it up! On Friday we achieved our goal meeting Chad's contest to do 40 GAW (Gift-account walk-throughs, or demonstrations of the system for laymen) by convention. I realized that the reason I set the goal at 40 was to simultaneously achieve the rolodex award from Jordan Adler, requiring you to complete 100 GAW's. So when I check those statistics in our account I realized we were 10 short.

Having the goal of earning our rolodex award by convention, we stepped up to the plate. We had ranch days this weekend and asked everyone who attended to sign up for a demo before the convention (Wednesday) and if they did so, I would enable them with a one year Gift Account. SO, least you think we were idle here, between the moments with the grandkids, fear not. Mike is right this moments giving our 100th GAW. Double woo-hoo!!!

Look out Jordan! Here we come!

Announcement for Tuesday

Hi again team..

First I want you to know that I will not usually write twice in one week.  In fact some of you probably have not read the first post yet... Still trying to work the bugs out.  So bear with me.

I found lots of motivation in listening to Jordan's call last week and wanted to share that call with you.  If you have not heard it, it is at http://attendthisevent.com/?eventid=14951442 (username "thecoolbuzz" password "thecoolbuzz").  In this call Jordan  interviews the new Eagles in Send out Cards, Tommy Wyatt and Curtis Lewsey.  They are a team in Send Out Cars and only the third to achieve the rank of Eagle in SOC.  He also talks with the two Executive that promoted this week, that put Tommy and Curtis up there.

The other item I wanted to call your attention to is that Tuesday Morning there will be a special team call with new executives, Ricky and Kenton Pass, from Colorado Springs.  The exceptional thing to me about this promotion is that they have not yet been in Send Out Cards a year, they now have over 200 distributors on their team, and they did it while they each ran their own businesses, a construction company and an interior design firm.. They are an amazing inspiration, especially to me since I know them personally.  You are invited to join in the one hour call at 8:30 Mountain Time, Tuesday morning.

Tuesday, September 21 · 8:30am - 9:30am

More InfoMichele Reynolds, Sr. Manager, will be hosting a call for you to meet Colorado's newest Executives, Ricky and Kenton Pass, and the people that helped build their team. Come help us celebrate their victory and learn from these top leaders in our company.

You will learn their story and learn from the best about how they built their business. Mark your calendars today!


These promotions to me signify a strong company in growth mode.  What an exciting time to be getting started in Send Out Cards.  I for one am very excited to attend the national convention next week and help celebrate these friends with their new promotions.

A New Goal of Leadership

I Love Send Out Cards!  You are reading this blog, probably because you are on our Send Out Cards team, or maybe considering being on our team, although this blog is public and open to anyone....  And I hope has valuable information for everyone.

I am starting this blog because I want to be a better leader.  We are managers in Send Out Cards and I thought we would be Senior Managers by this time.  When we became managers, we enrolled all 12 of our downline personally.  I decided at that time that the first step in Send Out Cards (Distributor to Manager) should be spent learning the system, and how to present it to others.  The second step (Manager to Senior Manager) should be spent learning to support your downline and growing depth in your team.  This is the step we are still learning ;-)

Last month I went to a class on doing an online business.  That I guess is a topic for another blog... but somewhere about mid-week, we split up into teams.  Each teams leader had to organize their team and report etc.. and as any good team, the success of each individual was required for the team to be successful.  Our team was sadly lacking a leader.  Heading into day two of the exercise I decided I had better step up, reluctantly, but none the less, my skills were needed.  That is when it hit me, that we all have god given talents that we are supposed to be using.  I have not embraced my leadership skills lately... in fact, Mike and I have been together 10 years now... and one of the very attractive things about him to me was that he took charge and I didn't have to... Hummm, a 10 year laziness it was time to break.

Combine that realization with the topic of the training (blogging, online support), and the fact that Damarr (who is not all that computer literate to me) started a blog this month... The stars were aligned.  Perhaps I could better support our team with a blog.  I also have a new tool to manage email lists, and I intend to email you each time I add a post (just like Damarr!).  If you do not want to receive my emails, please "unsubscribe" on the bottom of the email.

Anyhow, not to make this post much longer.  I hope to share news and motivation for you through this blog.  I plan to include photos of favorite cards (please share yours).  I will tell you of favorite conference calls for those of you that do not catch them all...  And I'll try not to be this wordy ;-), just provide you a way to stay connected.  Send out cards is growing like CRAZY, with 3 new Executive this week and a third Eagle this week.  It's an exciting time to be in SOC and we are excited to "ride it to the top"..  wanna come along?

The news today!  Mike and I are excited to go to the convention in two weeks.  I don't think any of our team are joining us however... I will be sharing the news from Salt Lake (through this blog).  The convention is the premier event of the year for Send Out Cards, and sure to supply a ton of motivation.  I found out this evening that a friend has a spare ticket, for $150 available.  That is less than 1/2 price the ticket price at the door.  If any of you want an impromptu "vacation" in Salt Lake City we'd love to have you join us.
