You've got to think about big things while you're doing small things, so that all the small things go in the right direction.

-Alvin Toffler

Hello Team!

End of the school year is nearing! We have so many great new products out to help us keep our momentum going in the summer! This page will help you think of different shows to offer! If you haven't planned kids crops with the new "Starzz album" and Snap Pack to match! THERE you GO! Class in a SNAP! All of us parents are looking for things for those kiddies to do, and now is the time to plan! Send out a special email or postcard with your summer schedule now! Planning is of the essence, and now is the time to do it! When you are planning those workshops, keep the new products in mind! How can you market them, and put them into a THEMED workshop! With the Fridge Frame, include THAT into a Class fee, have them to "create" a Summer Calendar page to document the doings and memories that they are making! (June or July) would be awesome! This will all kick off your summer but you need to plan it now!

These are some things to think about having with you on a daily basis when you are out and about! (by UL Sue Rose) Business cards...CM catalogs...CM brochures…Completed Sentiments Album...Coordinator Packets....Your Calendar....Business Opp. Info/ CD...Storybook Supplements....Newsletter...

Are you Dressed for Success?

Wear CM Logo Clothing...........CM window decal on your car(s).......Carry CM shopping bags....Wear Star Performer jewelry....Use CM Mugs/Water bottles at work.....CM logo sticker on your lapel....Town & Country CM Consultant magnet on your car....Use CM quarterly incentive gifts you've earned..... The flexible home class/show (by UL Debbie Scott) is class ideas to offer coordinators to book shows for you! The important thing to remember is to meet the needs of those attending…here's how:

A CM Flexible Class/Show is where you customize a CM event to meet the needs of a coordinator. This coordinator can be brand new, a strong scrapbooker needing "A Next Step Class", or anyone else in between. I suggest you find out what her needs are by calling her or sitting down with her over coffee.

The following list of various "Flexible Classes" that you can book! (by Sr. Dir Leigh Ernst) Power Layouts
First Time Traditional Class
Home Show
Calendar Class
Cookie Exchange Show
Zoo Borders Class
12" Pattern Class
Square Maker Class
Bordermania I Class
Bordermania II Class

These great ideas for you but YOU have to get on the phone and "make them happen"! Remember when you are calling a customer or potential coordinator YOU have something to offer. Don't think about it as asking them to do something for you…YOU are asking THEM to let you help them. Ask them, "How are you albums coming along? How can I help"?

Doing my best to help you attain yours,
