Loving Life and Thirty-One!!

I'm a bit behind on my blog, but all for a good reason! I have been so busy!!

Delilah and I went to Thirty-One's National Conference (Ohio) in July and both fell in love with Thirty-One all over again!! It truly re-solidified why Thirty-One is in our lives!!

Delilah and I in the hotel lobby!

Founder, Cindy Monroe welcoming Directors!!

(Cindy truly seems so genuine!! One of the girls you just want to hang out with and watch a fun chick-flick!!)

One of my favorite parts of conference was finally meeting my fabulous Director, Amanda Graves!! She is one of the founding consultants for Thirty-One and a Senior Executive Director! I want to be like her when I grow up!! She is truly amazing and I feel so fortunate to be on her team!!Amanda and I with all our ribbons!

My favorite part?? Anyone who promotes to Director, Senior Director or Senior Executive Director gets to cross the stage and have a short photo opp with Cindy!

I received 3 white roses for promoting to Senior Consultant (SC), a dozen red roses for promoting to Director and a framed Thirty-One $1000 bill for receiving my bonus!! Delilah and I got stopped in the airport because of our flowers...they thought we were in a wedding!

I can't say enough good things about Thirty-One and what it has done for my family! It has truly allowed me to become a Stay-At-Home Mommy/Work-At-Home Mommy! I wouldn't trade it for the world!!

Brooks and I thought we were going to make sacrifices by allowing me to stay at home...however, through Thirty-One we have earned two vacations!! My husband and I are about to join other Directors and fly to Mexico for the Leadership Trip!! In addition, I earned a Carnival Cruise for two and we will be departing from Galveston in February and going to Key West, Freeport and Nassau (Bahamas). We can't wait!! ...although it does make us a bit teary to leave our little girl behind.

I cannot wrap my head around how fast Thirty-One is growing! My team is a direct reflection of this! For the month of August, my team gained 40 new consultants (we grew by 50%!! ...from 80 to 120!!). I also set a team record and had 14 personal recruits last month!! As of today, my team has 135 women...not even a year and a half after I joined.

Just a REMINDER!! Our "30 Days, $50 Craze" runs through the end of September! That means you have less than three weeks to take advantage of this amazing offer!! Ask me for details!!

In August, I received my largest paycheck...AWESOME!! I truly feel blessed beyond belief to have found such a fabulous opportunity that I love! I love the products and all of the women it has brought into my life! (customers, hostesses and consultants!)

What's coming up??

September Customer Special:

You can get a great deal on a NEW item…purchase our Demi Purse for ½ off when you spend $31! It’s regularly $29, so that means you can buy this adorable purse for only $14.50. It comes in 5 great new prints and coordinates with all our cute new accessories. Perfect for the “girl on-the-go”, whether you're out on the town or at the office.

October Customer Special:

You can purchase the Organizing Utility Tote for ONLY $5 when you spend $31! What a great deal on a tote that offers style AND function! Load it up for trips to the gym, grocery store or craft store, or fill it with gifts as a care package….and MORE!

Believe it or not, the holidays are right around the corner!! Here is a sneak peak from our Holiday Gift Guide which will begin October 1st and run through January!! Fabulous, exclusive items that you won't want to miss!!

Currently, I am booked for September and October! I might have a couple weekday/night openings for October, but the weekends are booked! My weekends are actually booked through mid-November! Our holiday cut-off to guarantee Christmas Eve delivery is December 13th...so contact me ASAP to book your party!! You can also host a catalog party, which allows your friends to shop directly through you or through your online party link!

Thank you for your continued support!! I love my Thirty-One business and I love working with you!!

Steps to become a 31 Consultant!!

I normally send an informational email to potential recruits! However, since my blog has been generating such wonderful traffic...they have been emailing me instead!! Several of my new team members have been a result of my blog...wow!!

Thirty-One pays you 25% commission (and you can get a check or direct deposit on the 10th of each month). In addition, your commission percentage will increase as you promote! It is so great…they do not charge you to accept credit cards, they cover hostess rewards/freebies...and more!!

My journey with Thirty-One...

My name is Kristen Brininstool and I am a Director for Thirty-One! I began my career as a consultant in May of 2009 when my daughter was 8 months old. I wanted to be able to stay at home with her and working for Thirty-One has allowed me to do so!

Prior to the birth of my daughter, I had been working at a local stationery and gift store. It was a happy place that sold anything and everything that was cute, personalized, bright, etc!! Needless to say, when my sister-in-law discovered Thirty-One…she immediately thought of me!! I had never been interested in any of the Direct Sales companies…but Thirty-One just spoke to me! I quickly became obsessed with wanting to start this journey and my husband fully supported my decision. He wanted me to find something where I could bring home at least $500 a month…so far I am at least doubling or tripling this (and he is still in awe at my success).

Thirty-One is a faith based company whose name is derived from Proverbs 31. The founder’s mission is to celebrate, reward and encourage the woman in the family…and that is exactly what we do!!

Why Thirty-One? I love Thirty-One for many reasons. Our products sell themselves; they are fun, whimsical, functional and personalized! Who doesn’t love giving or receiving a gift with their name on it? Many other direct sales companies are tailored for more personalized tastes. Whereas with Thirty-One, even if you don’t see something for yourself (which I guarantee you will!), you will see the perfect graduation gift, teachers gift, bridesmaids, mother’s day, birthday, baby shower or just because gift!!

Thirty-One can provide you with additional income to satisfy the need in your life. For me, it was being able to be a stay-at-home mom. For others, Thirty-One is a fund for grandchildren, shopping sprees, teenagers clothes, a new car fund, credit card debt, mother’s day out, dance/karate class…or just some fun “me-time” away from the hectic busyness of day-to-day life!

I promoted to Senior Consultant after 3 short months and then to Director two months later. I love having such a fun, driven, successful group of women to work with!! They span from Texas, Maine, New York, North Carolina, Mississippi, Indiana, Virginia, Ohio, Connecticut and Kentucky!! I would love to have you as an addition to my team!!

Please look through our current catalog and let me know if there is something that catches your eye! I would love to help you with the next step; whether that is ordering, hosting a party or starting your career as a consultant!

Blessings,

This would not have been possible without my wonderful team!! ...and Secondly, my wonderful Director (Amanda) sent me a dozen red roses to celebrate!!! That sums up my personal excitement!!

I am equally excited about fantastic things happening with the company!! They truly know how to kick off a new year...because great things are coming your way!!

January and February truly have AmAzInG things to offer for both customers and hostesses!! Our BRAND NEW Spring/Summer catalog will make its debut on February 1st!!

You just won't believe your eyes...fabulous things are happening with Thirty-One!!

What did you say? $461.30 in FREE Thirty-One Goodies!!

It's true folks...it's true. My last hostess, AKA Teri (one of my many wonderful sister in laws), held the most AmAzInG party!! Her party totaled a whopping $2306.50!!! She now holds the record for my biggest party!! She truly is the "Hostess with the Mostess." She earned so many free goodies that she didn't know what to do with herself!! I think she got ALL of her holiday shopping taken care of!! (expect for a boy here and there)

She earned 20% in FREE goodies ($461.30), 5 half price items, FREE shipping and the Large Utility Tote for only $5!! She truly got some amazing, personalized gifts!! Family, friends, teachers...you name it, they will now be receiving a phenomenal personalized gift from Thirty-One!!

However, I do want to acknowledge my other recent hostesses who have also given very successful parties (patry sales in parentheses)!! Jackie Guynes ($1000.50), Susan Gillespie ($513.00), Linda Martinez ($801.00), Kathy Hunt ($547.00), Julie Morrow ($364.00), Barbara Clary ($888.50) and last but not least, another wonderful Sister in Law, Betsy Brininstool Nethery($847.50). All of these women earned a TON of free and half price product...and nearly all of them earned FREE shipping!!

Last but not least, I would like to recognize my wonderful team!! First off, let me tell you how easy it has been to recruit fellow consultants...everyone I meet simply LOVES the products, so they have just wanted to jump on board!! Personally, I know have 6 consultants that I have directly recruited!! When Melanie and Tiffany qualified I became promoted to Senior Consultant. Last month, Sarah and Gina became qualified, which puts me in qualification status to become promoted to Director!! I am beyond excited about my success with Thirty-One and this upcoming promotion. I will officially be a Director as of the end of October! I began my Thirty-One career on May 1st...nearly 6 months later, November 1st I am receiving a huge promotion!

In addition, I want to welcome Betsy and Cassie to my team!! I would also like to congratulate all of my recruits...on their recruits!! As a team we have SIXTEEN wonderful women (from Texas (San Antonio, West Texas and the Panhandle), New York and Maine!! Way to go ladies!! This is awesome for a team that is only 5 and a half months old!! I am looking forward to working with each of you on a more personal level and my new role with Thirty-One.

I truly feel completely blessed that I found Thirty-One. There are so many things that I love about it...Christian based, the CUTE items we sell, personalized/monogrammed, the people I have met (who work for the company and at parties), my financial success, being able to be a stay at home Mom and be there for my daughter, running my own business...and so much more!! If you are interested in making Thirty-One a part of your life, I would love to chat with you and help you get started!! I would love to answer any questions, help you brainstorm on monogramming, business ideas and more! It is honestly the best investment I have made...for so many reasons!!

35 Candles Means 35 Wishes for New Consultants!

Did we say celebrate? You betcha! Did you know that our founder, Cindy Monroe’s birthday is in September? She’ll be 35 this year and we’re celebrating by offering a new consultant incentive.

Anyone who joins the Thirty-One family by signing up in September and qualifies by October 31st will receive 35% commission on their first $1000 in personal sales. Who couldn’t use an extra $350 this time of year? The 10% commission bonus will be reflected in the first commission payment following their $1000 in sales.

The earlier you join, the better the chances of qualifying plus you'll still earn the usual Start Swell Incentives! Since our average party is $450, you may only need to hold three parties to earn the commission bonus.

I recently held a party that alone broke $1000...it is so easy to do!! I qualified within my first 30 days...I know you can too!

I wanted to pass this along to you!! If you are still thinking about becoming a consultant...now is the PERFECT time!!

Join now, so you earn 35% on your first $1000...AND take advantage of the 40% off sale (consultants only) for September!!

New Business Cards!!

Just wanted to share my new fancy smancy business cards (or I think so)!! I decided that my cards needed to convey what I sell! I think they are gorgeous and feature our new fall Chocolate Blossom and Chocolate Spot patterns! Keep your eyes open...one might just land in your hot little hands!!

Write this down...New Website!!

When I initially signed up for Thirty-One I tried to make my Thirty-One website with just Kristen...but no luck, it was taken. I then tried KristenB...no luck, also taken. Therefor, I settled on KristenBrininstool...my very long name. I have since learned that Kristen has become available...so I immediately snatched it up!! I think it will be much easier on my customers (because lets face it...I don't have the simplest last name).

Here it is...from now on, please visit:
