The Road
to Red!
September
2018… I’ll never
forget you!
The plan to promote to Red Jacket had always been
in the back of my mind. It was never a question of ‘if ’,
for the last 4 years I’ve spent with Norwex, it was a
question of ‘when’. And how on earth do I manage to
do it? I mean, really… 75 Team members engaging in
one month? How was that going to happen?! 
Well, it happens with an amazing Team, some planning,
a lot of dedication and persistence… or stick-to-it-ness,
if you like!
I decided earlier this year that I would like our Team
to promote to Senior level at some point this year and
then worked on filling in the details. We needed an
increase in numbers for one, and of Leaders too, so
the early half of the year was spent helping our Sales
Consultants to promote to Team Coordinators. We had
a massive boost in numbers thanks to the Join for Free
promotion before Annual Conference and the Team
grew stronger. I was delighted to be joined by 8 of my
Leaders at Conference and saw their passions ignite, the
Team bond grow closer and a lot of pennies dropped
about what an amazing organisation we belong to, how
important our roles as Norwex Consultants are, and the
opportunity out there for us to grow.

So after returning from Conference the decision was
made… September was to be it. As I said to the Team, I
don’t try… I do. So this needed to be our best effort and
if we all pulled together we’d do it and get the coveted
Red Jacket for the Team. 
So we clicked ourselves into the roller-coaster ride
that is “Promotion Month”! And off we went, we had
early wins as some of the Team jumped on board and
engaged early! It was fantastic, we were tracking well, at
that pace we’d have been done by mid-month! We had
it!
But alas… the dreaded plateau hit and the numbers
didn’t move for nearly a week. The wobbles set in and
the overwhelming ‘oh what was I thinking??’ feeling
crept in. (A huge thanks to Sheridan Hodges, Tracey
Wilson and Katie Batchelor for the counselling during
this time!)
But no… we weren’t going to give in that easily, we
had started and so we should continue, stick-to-it-
ness was our motto. The Team brainstormed ideas
for engagement and we saw a rise in numbers and
then thankfully Norwex offered out the Free Product
Promotion. Suddenly casual Consultants were engaging
