Ladies,
I have posted quite alot of questions around here over the last few weeks as I have tried to decide on a company to work with. I tell you, I have met some of the most wonderful people along the way and have received so much good advice and wisdom from some very successful leaders. And I have seen so many *awesome* products that I really want to get! This wasa very difficult decision, but the company I have chosen(at least for now)is Scent-Sations.If you want to know the specific reasons please feel free to ask me.
These are a few of the people I spoke with and would really like to thank!!!
Sandy Bigham with Celebrations by Lillian Vernon and Taste of Home Entertaining-- Sandy was the first person I talked to. When I requested information she happened to be online and she called me within about 5 minutes! She has built strong teams and is obviously a very successful businesswoman and leader. Sandy was SO helpful with the specific advice she gave me about what to look for in making a decision. Even when I asked her opinion about other companies she was more than willing to go out of her way to truly be a help. She says she "loves to help people--" and that is so obviously true. I'm sure she will be right at the top with TOHE just like she has been with Celebrations.
Lisa Burns with Once Upon a Family -- I spoke to Lisa on the phone and she sent me an incredible catalog and packet of information. She said at their Celebrations they often have to pass around the Kleenex box and I believe it. I had to go get some Kleenex just from talking with her on the phone. She had such touching stories to share about the ways her productsimpact people's lives. She's in her business for the long term and has been really successful with it and has great training for her team. For anyone else interested in this company I would highly recommend her as someone great to work with.
Lisa Skillman with Northern Lights at Home-- Lisa is one of their top leaders and is really taking off with her business. She was most helpful in keeping in touch with me, answering my questions, just everything.Their catalog is absolutely beautiful and with their new leadership she is obviously going places with them! She sent me some tealites too...and they were soooo nice. I had never tried these candles before so really appreciated that and I was not sure if they would live up to my picky expectations but they did. :-)
Carole Brown with Signature Homestyles -- This was a company I kind of thought about at the last minute and I asked her for more information because I was so impressed with their Idea Book and their products. Carole happened to be at a trade show near me and she came right over to my house and brought me a catalog and showed me a lot of their stuff. She is absolutely the most delightful lady, in her 60's, has been with them for 20 years, and very successful at what she does. When I get to be that age I want to be just like her! I *loved* everything I saw and she is a lady that it would be an honor for anyone to work with. It was hard for me not to choose this company and Carole to work with.
And lastly, a huge thanks to all of the rest of the people who took the time to send me PMs, send me samples, answer my questions on these boards. I appreciate your honesty, your willingness to help and share. These are the things that I look forward to being able to do for other people in return as I learn and grow in my new venture.
I will be sending a personal email to each of these people above...I just posted here first.
Have a Wonderful Day,
