• Have you or someone you've known ever been a Stampin' Up!® demonstrator (in the US) in the past?  Have you missed us???  If so, July is YOUR MONTH!  Because during July 2010 we're welcoming back former demonstrators for only the price of a $35 Starter Kit!  That's right - just $35 (plus tax), and you can have your business up and running again - and taking advantage of all the benefits listed at the top of this page!  But this incredible, never-before-offered opportunity is ONLY valid during July 2010.  And it's NOT available for online sign-up, so please allow enough time to submit your paperwork via the postal system to be received in SLC by July 30!  Contact me quick, and I can email you the forms you'll need!

But WAIT!!!  There's one more thing to think about: 

WHO will you choose to sign under?

Make sure you're choosing a demonstrator with a solid background of consistent hands-on, in-the-field activity (rather than someone who markets primarily or exclusively online to the masses), someone with an up-to-date knowledge of and adherence to the Stampin' Up!® systems and policies, and someone who participates regularly in demonstrator events and activities.  I have maintained those qualifications for over 14 years - having attended all 15 annual Conventions that have been held during that time, as well as regional events, too.  I partake of training courses regularly - both in-house and within the direct sales industry in general, and am tapped into several leadership groups, as well.  Stampin' Up! is in my blood.  I support all 5 levels of my downline, and offer each of them a variety of ways in which they can participate in our group (team) activities - whether they live close to me or far.

So what's next?!?
