people wanted parties etc. But
I quickly made the FreshSTART
sales incentives, and achieved
my shopping spree in less than 2
months. It was about then that I
came to my first Norwex meeting
with Cath Bentley and really started
to get more of an idea about
Norwex and the opportunities it
would have for me. I knew I really
needed to recruit but I had in my
mindset that if I recruited, then I
would lose income from the parties.
So I didn’t. on recruiting and engaging my
Team and I did it, right in the nick of
time. I then just needed to get the
group sales up in November and
I’d achieved the whole trip for free.
And again, I did it! Heading to Uluru
in February was just breathtaking.
It was everything I could have ever
dreamed of and I’m so stoked that
Norwex gave me the opportunity
to see that wonderful place - I got
to go there absolutely free and
to share it with some great new
friends.
With encouragement from Lisa,
I decided to head to National
Conference on the Gold Coast.
Lisa told me it would be a game
changer, and boy was she right! I
went to the National Conference
about 4 months into my Norwex
journey and I had no Recruits.
On that first night when they
announced Uluru would be the
Leadership Conference destination I
was gobsmacked. I had to be there.
But it was going to be tough, as at
that point I still had no Recruits. I
had 4 months to get there. I’m a
planner, so I sat down and worked
out what I had to do. I needed to
make Team Leader that month so
I could even try and qualify. I had
a party running at the time so I
posted the ‘Join for Free’ incentive
(and this was the first time I’d ever
encouraged anyone to join) and
all of a sudden there were people
interested! I managed to get 3
Recruits signed up and engaged
and made Team Leader that month. My Team has continued to grow
and in March I reached another
milestone – Executive Sales Leader.
My next goal is Africa, and I’m
definitely on track however it may
be down to the wire!
Then was the kicker. To get Uluru for
free, I needed another 9 Recruits,
and I needed to make Sales
Leader by the end of November.
Thankfully, I didn’t have too hard
a time getting those Recruits and
throughout October I really focused
Now, did I mention that I’ve done
all of this just from my couch?
All online parties. I’ve developed
my ‘technique’ over time and my
parties are constantly evolving; but
I think I’m doing ok and things have
really stepped up a notch in the
last few months particularly now
I’ve grown a large Team of fellow
online partiers!!! I’m now earning
most of the incentives, plus a
decent Consultant Discount refund
each month. I don’t think anyone
believed you could be successful
doing online parties, and me being
the person I am, wanted to prove
them wrong. Anything is possible if
you put your mind to it.
What I love most about online
parties is that I can set the nights
that suit me. I can still put my babies
to bed every night, and if they need
me during the party I can still dip
out and help them quickly and then
return to the party. I don’t have to
travel to other people’s houses and
be away. I’m already working full
time in my ‘other’ job as a School
Psychologist as well as trying to
do my PhD in Psychology at the
moment, so every minute I have
with my babies in the evenings and
days off are precious. I only have to
do my ‘Norwex work’ when they are
in bed.
So what else has Norwex done for
me? We’ve now more than paid
off our renovations and are in the
stages of planning another one.
The extra income I’m getting from
Norwex is allowing our family to
spend more quality time together
and not have to worry about day
to day expenses. Not to mention
the improvements of health and
wellbeing without nasty chemicals
near myself or my children – we all
have allergies.
So I guess the message I want to
put out to everyone is, if you’ve
been thinking about it just do it. You
may never know where the journey
will take you. If you’re making
excuses that you’re too busy, then
online parties are a way to go.
Online parties are a great way to
reach friends interstate who aren’t
able to attend an in home demo
with you and then the bookings just
snowball all across Australia – I’ve
done parties in every single state
now! And, the new online ordering
system has made the amount of
work decrease significantly with
guests placing their own orders and
shipping directly, meaning even
more money in my pocket without
the extra time. You really can earn
money from the comfort of your
own home, and you can still help
us spread the message that you
can have a healthier home without
harsh chemicals.
