Reaching the 100+ mark is a truly special accomplishment, because it demonstrates the ability to grow and lead a team. Edie's recognition has been posted on our team website: OurTeamBuzz.com. Now let's hear directly from Edie about her SOC journey.

Edie, can you tell us a little bit about your accomplishment? "Chad, I suppose the one word that would describe how I feel regarding reaching 100+ SendOutCard Distributors is excited.  When I first became a distributor you encouraged me to set that as my goal and I did.  All of the SendOutCards Leaders suggested that reaching the first 100 would be the most difficult and the second 100 would be easier.  Jordan calls it momentum.  I am very

excited about building momentum to reaching my next goal of 200.

 

But as you know Chad, this accomplishment is not  my mine. I did not do this alone.  It took a team, a great team.  Diane Schroder, Mame Noonan, Clara Quinlan and her husband Mark, and Debi Neal all came to the 2010 SendOutCard National Convention and they are the leaders of my team along with many others.  The yearly convention sparks inspiration and motivation to do all that is necessary to grow our businesses.  I would encourage everyone to attend convention, it makes all the difference.  The friendships you create and the education you receive is beyond measure."

How does it feel to be a Manager?"I feel very honored to be recognized for my accomplishments with SendOutCards and I am touched that so many people in the company reached out to me. I actually cried when I got my certificate in the mail....and bought a special frame to hang it in my office. I am so very proud to be part of SOC!" 

What will you do differently as you move towards Sr. Manager? "For probably the first 6 months, I used SOC but I didn't share it regularly, going to the SOC National Conference really made a big difference for me. Now, I will join in on every gathering and event there is that I am able to go to. I will continue to share it every day whether it is simply creating a card, or telling someone a bit about it....I always try and mention SOC so they have a bit of an idea about it, and then I know they will come to me when they are ready!

  

 What do you recommend for those following in your footsteps? "Remember all the reasons why you love SOC and hold that in your heart.....then wait for the proper time to tell someone a bit about it.  I never go overboard and go on and on about it....I think waiting and knowing when is the right time is very important and also sending meaningful cards to people just because (maybe you see pictures on FaceBook or come across an old photo you can scan and send). You don't want to sound desperate, and why should we?  This is an amazing tool for everyone, and I feel that it is a "No Brainer"  all those who know me will eventually be using SOC so I just wait for their cues."

 

How are you different since you started your SOC business?  "I am truly the happiest I have ever been, and who knew cards could do that for me?  I am so moved when people call and tell me the emotions they were feeling when they got my card or when they sent one of their own. SOC fills my heart with love.....and those people out there I've told about SOC - they all want more love too....I'm just waiting for their cue."

 

Now let's hear from Clara's up-line, Mame Noonan: "I met Clara Duncan a little over a year ago and introduced her to SOC. She immediately saw the value and signed up as a distributor. Since then Clara has found it to be such a wonderful tool that she is truly a "Product of the Product".  Clara is a genuine, compassionate and a sincere person.  She can't resist telling everyone about Send Out Cards because she uses it everyday herself. Clara and her husband, Mark, traveled with me to SLC for the 2010 Convention.  She will tell you herself that it definitely gave her "lift off". Clara now declares herself an Entrepreneur and I am so proud and happy to have her as a friend and business associate."  Mame Noonan 

 

 

My recommendation to those who become discouraged is that you surround yourself with positive people and continuously read or listen to "self-improvement" materials. As someone once said, work more on yourself then on your business. Also, be sure to attend as many SendOutCards' events as possible and bring a guest.

 

I also enjoy attending various workshops and being with energetic people. I've listened to DeMarr's CD numerous times and remember his principle of DCT (duplication, consistency and time).

 

For those not familiar with the MLM concept, I like to use the principle of multiplying a single penny for 30 days which turns 0.01 to more than five million dollars! This concept stresses that although you may work hard at the beginning, you will not get paid accordingly, but with time and consistency, it will reward you much more than you ever thought possible.

 

The lesson I learned is that like most people in this business, the thought of quitting has crossed my mind, but it is vital that you stay the course no matter what. Someone once said, never quit on a bad day!  And please talk to your sponsor if you feel discouraged in any way.

 

Having being promoted recently and trying to reach my next goal of Senior Manager, there is certainly a sense of responsibility not only to myself, but for my team to succeed as well. SendOutCards has a wonderful system in place, as well as resources, so I will need to incorporate this on a more consistent basis. My passion is being able to send cards that use my creativity and to make an impact on people's lives by celebrating both the big and small moments.  I look forward with enthusiasm to see how SendOutCards will grow and become even more powerful company that people will envy and want to join!"  Kyoko Nakayama

 

Becoming a SOC Sr. Manager is the "real" beginning of your long-term success in SendOutCards. At this level, you have the potential to make a lucrative full-time income. To achieve this level, one must grow two teams of 12 distributors each. Within each group you must personally sponsor at least three of those 12 distributors. At this level, your business turns into a real full-time income opportunity with tremendous up-side.

Anyone can make it to this level. All it takes is desire, a growing level of belief in oneself, and the willingness to take action by showing others how to send a card.
