Get to know your
Norwex Leaders
Congratulations to Tania Ford on
her promotion in September to
Senior Executive Sales Leader
I originally joined Norwex in February 2014 as a
shopper, so I could purchase the laundry detergent
at wholesale prices. Then in February 2016 my friend
asked me to do a party for her, and I decided to dip
my toe in and give it a go. What I didn’t know was this
would be the beginning of an amazing journey with
Norwex.
Before long I became a ‘Party Girl’, but I had no
intentions of ever going to training or recruiting. But
people wanted to join me and I promoted to Team
Coordinator in July 2016.
By this stage I realised the importance of training and
saw the huge potential in building a Team. Then in
October 2016 I promoted to Sales Leader and earned
an all expenses paid trip to Uluru for Leadership
Conference in 2017. My Team continued to steadily
grow and after hearing Zelia talk at National
Conference in 2017 about how her Team promoted,
I came home with a fire in my belly! In September
our Team planned a promotion month for October.
We had several promotions within the Team and we
promoted to ESL.
We decided in about mid July 2018 to give promoting
to Red Jacket a go, after much encouragement from
the lovely Tracey Wilson. To be honest, I was not sure
if we had the numbers, and in my mind had thought
maybe we would give it a go in October. I was playing
it safe, but Tracey was pushing me out of my comfort
zone. My motto became ‘If your dreams don’t scare
you, they aren’t big enough’. Tracey had total faith in
us and August had a lot going on that would potentially
help.
So we set our Team some challenges and had giveaways
for engagement. And having Join for Free for the first
2 weeks definitely helped!
Since the beginning of July our Team has nearly tripled
in size. There is definitely lots of excitement within the
Team as goals have been reached and incentives earned.
We have some fantastic Leaders who have promoted
in the last couple of months - 4 Team Coordinators
and 2 Sales Leaders. We are all very passionate about
sharing the gift of Norwex - helping others create Safe
Havens and offering a fantastic business opportunity
that has the potential to be life changing in so many
ways.
There were times when I felt like giving up, and it
didn’t seem like our promotion was going to happen.
But I just had to think about my “why”! Building my
Norwex business gives me CHOICES! It means I am
able to stay home with my kids while they are little
and I can choose if and when I return to working for
someone else. I can give and help others who are less
fortunate then me and I’m helping those in my Team
reach their goals. I also discovered that it wasn’t all
about the outcome, but about the journey and how
much we have stepped outside our comfort zone
and grown as a result. I knew that regardless of the
outcome, our Team would be stronger!
I have an AMAZING Team! I’m looking forward to
being able to continue to guide them and help them
build their Teams and reach their goals. I am also
excited to be able to rub shoulders and learn from
other Senior Leaders. And of course, putting Maitland
on the Norwex map and finally having some red in
my wardrobe!

Executive Sales Leader,
