Next Week’s Competition is.. Flower Power 🌼
This one’s extra special. winners get to send a bouquet of flowers to anyone they want. To win, first years need to hit over 100 strong units/customers, and managers over 200. Let’s put in the work and make someone’s day a little brighter with flowers and results to match!
This Sunday we were hosted by alumni Tom, a former book-seller who generously shared insights from his own experience. helping us level up mentally and practically. Here are a few standout takeaways from his talk:
“If I don’t want to be in sales, then leave.” But the truth is the skills we’re learning are life skills.
The answer to the problem is behind the next door. Keep going.
Don’t be afraid to do things on your own. Independence builds growth.
Have a schedule and follow it. Consistency is power.
Refine your skills. From pre-approach to closing, subtle improvements matter.
Know the difference between a goal and a dream. Dreams stay in your head; goals get written down and broken into steps.
Self-confidence grows through this program. Let it teach you.
Lead and help others. Give back, support your team, and work toward becoming someone others can follow.
And finally: “Just continue the grind.” Trust the process and keep going.
Time to earn those flowers and make Week 9 the strongest one yet! 💪🌷
Another powerful week behind us, Dad’s Week is officially over!
Huge congrats to everyone who gave it their best and showed true effort and attitude all week long. Whether you won the challenge or simply pushed your limits, you made your dad proud.
Next Week’s Competition is… Sizzler Sunglasses! 🕶️☀️ To win the Sizzler Sunglasses, we’ll need to beat our sit-down numbers from last week.
This week’s sunday meeting was all about emotions, self-reflection, and being intentional.
We focused on how to keep our heart in the game and stay mentally tough, even when the results don’t always show it. Here’s what we discussed
Put emotion into what you do. The people who win are the ones who give it their heart not just their hours.
Stick to what you can control. Schedule, attitude, and consistent self-talk.
Be yourself and listen. Don’t rush through the day. Slow down enough to make real connections, even when people are rushing you.
Handle ups and downs with maturity. Your results don’t define your worth. it’s your attitude, effort, and ability to move forward that matter.
Don’t rush the process. Whether you’re coaching or selling, slow down like you’re talking to a kid. Be present.
We’re halfway through the summer, and every week is a chance to grow not just in numbers, but in who we’re becoming. 💥Let’s take the lessons, stay focused, and earn those sunglasses.
Week 6 is done and dusted! ☀️🌧️Some of us had sunshine, others got soaked in the rain, but no matter the weather, the mood stayed high and the energy stayed strong!
This week’s challenge was Pie in the Face! 🥧We teamed up by HQs and competed against who has the best sit downs. The roommates with the most sit-downs got to smash a pie into the faces of the losing team and let’s just say, some whipped cream justice was served. 😄
Coming up next is… Dad’s Award! 🏆This week, it’s all about effort and attitude. Individuals with the best week in strong units or customers will take the win. Let’s bring the focus, bring the fire, and make the dads proud!
Sunday’s Meeting Recap 🎓 We dove into how to be more professional on the field, especially when talking with parents and educators. We learned more how to research about how different school districts work and how they approach teaching. valuable insights to help us connect even better. After that, it was time for fun. We smashed a few pies, laughed it out, and then headed home to rest and get ready for the final stretch ahead.
Next week, it’s about quality in our work and in ourselves.Let’s keep up the hard work, stay consistent, and finish with purpose. 💪
