Orders reflecting this specialshould be processed in Home Office by April 25, 2007.FUN FASHION FACTSA wardrobe of earrings... BLING it on!!This season the BUZZ is all about color! Something amazing happens whenyou use a multi-color, multi-stone necklace to accessorize. Prove it to yourself.Go to your closet with Surreal necklace in hand and hold it up againstdifferent outfits. It is such a unique necklace in its own right, but there are somany different hues in Surreal that it beautifully accents everything from paisleyand prints to a wide variety of solid colors. The moonstones radiate an opalescentblue-gray lavender cast. The cords blend with khaki and beige linen. Thepink gems are pure femininity. It is striking worn with a pure white outfit.Think outside the box; it doesn’t have to “match”, it has to complement!Your Way necklace, available in both goldtone and silvertone, is a terrificwardrobe basic. It easily serves as a replacement for Medley chain (nowdiscontinued) and its longer length offers a wide variety of accessorizingoptions. Use it to layer, loop, and mix with other necklaces and/or pearls. Itcan suspend any pendant with a bail (long chains with pendants are so very“IT” right now!) Double a Your Way chain, attach an enhancer, and anchor thelooped necklace with a Snap Ring.The teal blue hues of Riviera ensemble is obviously gorgeous worn with an outfit that contains that same color. But tryit with summer white and see how it pops! Another color with which Riviera looks fantastic is orange, melon, or peach.On the color scheme scale, orange and blue are complementary colors, so try Riviera with an orange summertimeoutfit for a high-fashion look! (And don’t forget to slip on Mandarin ring for a flash of orange sparkle!)APRIL 2007 5


SALESGetting the most from“The Wish List”The Wish List serves as a work sheet for show guests to determine potentialchoices for their order. To facilitate writing, clip each Wish List to a lapboard or a piece of cardboard. Ask your hostess to distribute one to eachguest just before the show begins. You can give the hostess a roll of ticketsand instruct her to dispense them to guests as they get excited aboutadding to their Wish List!After your Opening Talk and before introducing the first jewelry item, explainthe Wish List to the guests.“As I show you my jewelry, I’ll be telling you the name of each item. Whenyou see an item or ensemble that you like, write its name on your Wish List.Then later, you’ll have a list of your favorites so you can easily look up theprices. The Wish List IS NOT your order form. It’s merely your worksheet. You can always add to or subtract from the list, so jot down ALLthe items that appeal to you for yourself… or possibly for gifts! And onemore thing… Sue has a roll of tickets for a special drawing we’ll hold later.The more excited you get about adding to your Wish List, the more ticketsshe’ll give you! Ready to start?”Proceed through your jewelry presentation encouraging guests to add names to their Wish List. Later in theshow, just BEFORE you invite the guests up to your display table to try-on and shop provide the finalinstructions for the Wish List.“I know that you’ve started your Wish List with the items I’ve shown so far. As you shop at my table and lookthrough the catalog, continue to write down the names of any additional items you are considering. Wecan add and subtract from the list, but it gives me a starting place to show you the best way for you to save themost money. Remember, this is only a work sheet; not your order form. And, keep our $12.00 Bonusitems program in mind. I will be around to help each of you and to write your order for you so that I canexplain how you can get the most jewelry for the money!After the Try-on Shopping time, as the first guests return to their seats and appear to be near completing theirWish Lists, begin approaching each person individually to initiate the Order Conditioning process. (See Guideto Success.)The first step of order conditioning is to determine the guest’s order. With your date book, Hostess packets,pen/pencil, a catalog, price listing, and a calculator, approach a seated guest, smile, take a seat next to her, andreach for her Wish List while saying, “May I help you with your Wish List?”Take note of the items she selected. It indicates the style of jewelry that appeals to her. As you fill in any missingprices on the items on her list, comment on her choices. “I see you like the new trends in earrings.” or, “Ah,you’re a glamour-girl! I love sparkle too!” “So obviously, you favor golden jewelry?” She may ask questions.She may want your opinion. Be friendly and helpful and make suggestions while you total the prices ofEVERYTHING on her list.6 The Network


SALESYes, add up everything to arrive at a grand total. At least, that’s the wayto start. Why? Two reasons. First, it is somewhat insulting to “assume”that she cannot purchase everything on her list. Second, ask yourself,“What’s a better deal? What’s a better bargain?... a $50 item for $12.00,or a $200 item for $12.00?” Look at it another way. Let’s say a customer listed a $30 item, a $20 item and a$50 item. If you add the $20 to the $30 item to total a $50 order and then offered the $50 item as a $12.00bonus, the customer would only realize a $38 discount. However, by adding the $20, $30, and $50 item togetherto total $100, the customer would be entitled to three $100 value bonus items for $36.00 more. Endresult would be a $264.00 savings. Easy to see which is a better “deal”!The two biggest mistakes made in structuring an order is to prejudge the buyer and to try to “finesse” an orderthat will give her the most expensive item on her list as her bonus item. If she doesn’t want to purchase ALL theitems on her list, she will surely tell you so once you total the order.So, start by quickly tabulating a grand total and then smile and say, “Sue, if you were to take everything youlisted, it would be $212.00, and you would THEN be able to go back through the catalog and select THREEMORE ITEMS valued up to $212 EACH and take them as bonuses for just $12.00 each… that would be anextra $636 in jewelry value for just $36.00 more! How would THAT be?”Typically there will be two types of responses.1. “Wow! You mean I could get three of those Sizzlin Sorbet bracelets for $12.00 each? I could giveone to my mom and one to my mother-in-law as Mother’s Day gifts, and still have one for myself! OK,that’s great!”Or …2. “Oooh, I just can’t spend THAT much.”When you get the first response, write the order, collect payment, and proceed to Step Two of Order Conditioning(suggest she book a show).When you get the second response, say, “No problem. Let’s revise the selections.” Now is the time to lower hertotal and work the order to allow her the highest priced item(s) on her list as $12.00 Bonus Items. Rework thetotals and say, “How about if you selected these three items to make the ensemble complete. That would be$96.00. Then you could take these three as $12.00 Bonus Items?” She agrees. Write the order. Collect thepayment. Then say, “I’d love to give you the rest of the items on your list. Let’s plan a show together and you’llhave these plus a whole lot more!” You are now in Step Two of Order Conditioning.Move from guest to guest and assist them in determining theirorder. Not every order is cut and dry. Sometimes the guestwill want to add to their order to achieve a higher total to beeligible for the Bonus Items they are striving for. You can showthem items that complement their selections, refer to yourascending order price list for the amount they need to spend,and/or suggest the purchase of a Gift Card. Be flexible andhelpful. If their shopping experience with you and <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> isa pleasant one, they will be your customer again and again.And THAT is your objective. You want every customer toremember YOU and <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> each and every time they arein the market for new jewelry! Now hold that drawing and sendone of your happy customers home with a special gift!APRIL 2007 7

SUPER-SIMPLIFIED SHOW!Creating a fun, easy-to-follow, organized <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> jewelry show is essential to shaping a successful <strong>Park</strong><strong>Lane</strong> business. As Directors, what we really do is show jewelry and take orders! Sound easy? It should. ItIS easy! The excitement begins once the jewelry is unveiled! Sales Vice President, Julyn Panicola (Fearorganization) took the Las Vegas Convention attendees through clear-cut guidelines to make sure each <strong>Park</strong><strong>Lane</strong> show is organized and fun, yet simple and easy to follow. We want guests and hostesses to see our showsand say…. “I could do that! That looks fun and easy!” Once the “easy-seed” is planted, recruiting interest willmost likely “sprout”! Below is an overview of the guidelines Julyn presented for keeping shows simple, yetsuspenseful and successful!• All successful <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>rs follow the 51-year proven method for conducting their shows; it’s called“The <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> Way”.• Make your show an event that can be duplicated.• Have your kit always in “show order”. Carry only current in-line pieces; clean, sparkling, and ready fordisplay.Limit your kit to 70 items maximum and carry a ring tray. As you accumulate additional line jewelry,create a second kit as an alternate. This allows you to keep your shows exciting, fresh, and interestingas you move through a booking chain.• Carry a variety of styles, so people can get a glimpse of the types of jewelry that you have available.• Organize your rollers into categories; gold items, silver items, colorful beads, glitz and glamour jewelry.• Add some “high end” items like La Jolla and Signature bracelets and refer to them as items they can select as their $12 Bonus Item.This will encourage larger initial orders. Use words such as “substantial” (as opposed to expensive) to describe higher priced items.• Choose in advance the days that you want to offer for booking dates. Control your calendar. This helps you look very professional; readyfor business and in charge!• Use note cards to assist you with your presentation, so you won’t forget any important points. This will help you stay on track.• Keep a “show face”! Just as athletes keep a “game face”, you will want to present your best smile and “park your problems at the door”!Your hostess deserves 100% of YOU!When you are about to begin your show business, here are a few handy hints:• Arrive 30 minutes ahead of the show time. When you walk in with ONE bag of jewelry, your hostess will immediately be impressed withthe lightweight nature and the ease of your business. (Hint: This will plant a subtle recruiting seed!)• Spend some time chatting with and getting to know the guests as they arrive. Once you begin your show, you are now acquainted withthem. They are more apt to see you as a friend than as the “jewelry salesperson”. Orders and bookings will happen faster and easierwith them considering you as the “friend” of their hostess.• You may want to display ONE Hostess Only or ONE Three Booking Gift item on a side table as an “interest-creator”. Catalogs are tuckedaway in your kit bag until it’s time to shop and place orders. You want the guests to totally focus on your jewelry as you present the itemsby unrolling the rollers and showing one ensemble at a time.• For a controlled and simplified show, it is suggested that you utilize the “roller method” as opposed to laying out in advance or pre-displayingyour jewelry.• Showing the jewelry one ensemble at a time, one roller at a time, creates suspense and excitement among the guests. This methodis also a means of “crowd control”…. Guests that are waiting for the next piece of jewelry to be unveiled are focused on YOU and the jewelry!• Start your show with a simple and concise opening talk. Cover the main points of our company history, our jewelry line, our savings planand our guarantee. Guests want to see the jewelry! Be brief!• Make sure each of your guests has a Wish List before you begin your presentation. As you show the jewelry, instruct them to write downthe names of the items they LIKE. “Like” and “Want” are key words here… There is no buying nor selling involved! That’s why it’s calleda Wish List! You are allowing the seeds of desire to be planted!• As you present your jewelry, have each guest (and the hostess) model an ensemble and ask them to wear it throughout the remainderof the show presentation. The real excitement starts when the modeling begins!• An easy phrase to use as a response when asked about the price of an item is: “Each item in our line can be regular price, $12.00, orFREE! We’ll look it up together in the catalog later.” (Thank you, Julyn, for that catchy phrase!)• Create a short booking and recruiting “commercial” to present after you show your jewelry. Once the guests have seen the jewelry, theyare more apt to want to know how they can get it ALL and/or how they can become a <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> representative. Be prepared!• An easy, concise way to show it all is to use the <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> Flip Chart. This can be ordered from the <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> supply department ordownloaded from <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>’s website.• Use the $50 Referral Reward certificates following your recruiting and booking talks or after you show the Flip Chart. This is the time yourguests are thinking about what they have seen and who they know. They may want to refer themselves! (Note: In April, the $50 certificatefor a qualified referral has been enhanced. You may offer a Three Booking Gift! See Sponsoring Section for details.)As you continue on to the order-taking portion of your show, remember that the jewelry will sell itself! You should focus on obtaining booking datesfor your hostess! She deserves the full benefits of our Hostess Five Star program. As you visit with each guest, ask for a booking and then guideyour conversation towards the benefits of becoming a <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> Director. Tell each guest that you would like to explain what <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> has tooffer! With the many recruiting seeds you have planted throughout your show, you can practically guarantee that your guests will have questionsabout the business! Think recruiting and sponsoring! Keep your show on-track and on-purpose and FUN! With these simple guidelines, the resultswill be there for you, every time!Thank you, Julyn, for presenting the guidelines for conducting a super-simple yet successful show!<strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>rs would do well to emulate your All-Star approach!APRIL 2007 17


BOOKING18 The NetworkBecome a Booking Champion!With a successful direct sales career spanning22 years, Senior Division manager, Fran Siegel-Hendricks (Rohr organization), has accumulatedpersonal sales totaling OVER one million dollars!$1,000,000 + and growing!Fran would be the first to acknowledge that booking and holding shows is the key to high sales.Selling to a group of people instead of to just one person at a time results in multiple orders andgreater exposure to recruit and to book MORE shows. Who better to share her expertise in the art ofobtaining bookings than this true “booking champion”? At February’s convention, the attendees inthe audience all benefited from her sage advice and booking prowess as Fran shared the followingmessage…“I’ve always believed that we need to learn how to communicate effectively with each and every person at our shows. Communicationmeans sharing and exchanging information, ideas and suggestions. There is a communication process we can follow to increase theresults of our bookings. When you learn this simple process, along with the best dialog to use to bring the prospect to a positivedecision of having a show, you will have mastered the art of communicating. You can consider yourself a “Booking Champion”.The process begins to unfold during order conditioning. EVERYONE who places an order with you, must be offered the opportunityto host a show. SUGGEST dating a show to each guest. As you hand the guest the receipt for their purchases you start the fourstep system:Step 1 - Suggest having a show and offer a choice of two dates.Step 2 - If the answer is “NO”, ask “WHY?”.Step 3 - Overcome the objection.Step 4 - Offer the choice of dates again.In Step 1, here are a few ways to suggest hosting a show & date choices.‘You were so much fun; I’d love to have you as one of my special Hostesses, would next week or the week afterbe best for you?’ (Wait for an answer)‘Have you been thinking of who you’d like to invite to your show? I have one opening next week and one the following week,which is best for you?’‘We still have a few items left on your wish list. I’d like to spoil you by helping you get them and more free whenyou have your show. Do you prefer weekdays or weekends?’‘You are so personable I just know you are going to invite me to your home to have a jewelry show. Would youlike to have your show in the daytime or the evening?’In Step 2, if the answer is ‘NO’, ask ‘WHY’ she has reservations about having a show. Listen to her objection.In Step 3, it’s important to study the common objections we hear most often and learn effective ways to overcome them. A ‘NO’ withan objection is usually just indicating her fear of having a show. Reassure her. Let her know that with your help she could have asuccessful show. Once you have overcome the objection, immediately offer the choice of dates again, which completes Step 4.Practice the process at every show with everyone. The system will become second nature to you; your confidence will increase asyour results increase. It’s a powerful feeling to know you can depend on your ability to communicate to the prospect what a greatopportunity it is to be a <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> hostess. After all, this is a booking business and you want to become a Booking Champion!”Besides continuing to operate her own <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> career, this true <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> champion is helping to rebuild the livesand homes of her family and friends who lost so much in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. She is focused on re-establishing<strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> in and around her home area of New Orleans and she is committed to helping her community moveforward towards a stable, financially-sound future.We appreciate YOU and your words of wisdom, Fran! Thank you forsharing your formula for success!

On a “STAR SEARCH”…With over 40 years of successful directsales experience, Sales Vice PresidentPat Hemmings, from Ohio, joined<strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> after “flunking retirement”…(according to Pat)!SPONSORINGIn her own eyes, she is a wife, a mom, anda grandma who simply LOVES to addsparkle to people’s lives! Of course, she isreferring to “recruiting”; the art of sharing<strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> with everyone that she meets.She says she looks for clusters of peoplejust like clusters of stars! At the LasVegas Convention, Pat spoke about HOW she recruits and theattendees in the audience had the privilege of benefiting from hermany years of successful business-building philosophy and techniques.Some thoughts on recruiting from Pat Hemmings:“Recruiting is like breathing…it comes naturally…just try asking people who they know. Look for a‘Twinkling Star’…the one who has a twinkle in her eye. She’s the one who said ‘no’ the first time,perhaps, ‘no’ the second time…and then when you follow up, try asking her if this is her ‘YES’ day!Then there is the ‘Smiling Star’…the one with a smile on her face. Think of the retired person or awidow that has the seasoning of life experiences, but still has a smile. Perhaps find a shy person…<strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> can give a shy person something to smile about!Look for ‘Falling Stars’….a person who might have lost their job. Maybe it’s someone who wants toquit their job. Perhaps this is our ‘Future Star’!Seek the ‘Small Stars’…someone with no time…a busy person. Ask her if she would like to have anevening out with the girls and get paid for it too! These people can become ‘Shooting Stars’! Oncethey are appreciated, they will be noticed, just like a shooting star!”Pat also suggested that we seek new recruits anywhere and everywhere: Waiting rooms at Doctor’soffices, receptionists, clerks in stores, waitresses, at class reunions, ball games, anywhere there aregroups of people! Step out of your own world and get out and find some ‘Stars’ that are looking forwhat <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> has to offer! Offer the opportunity to everyone; share the appeal of the <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>lifestyle – it can be irresistible!Pat shared a thought which might sum it up when it comes to the decisions people make.“A woman finds the time for the things she wants to do or she finds an excuse.” Oh, so true!Thank you, Pat, for your insight into all the unique and different qualities that make up the “Stars” of<strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>, and for reminding us that a woman will always find time for her priorities!APRIL 2007 23


SPONSORINGEvery Which Way but Loose!So you say you are serious about sponsoring. You want to share. You want toadvance. You want to grow and you want to win. Cancun is looming large andyou are determined to go. Recruiting is the ticket to it all. Successful recruitersknow that there is more than ONE way to get their message across. In fact,they will approach sharing “every which way”… until at least ONE WAY works!From sports to business to direct sales, the pro recruiters in any industry wouldagree that it often takes putting the offer or message out there three, four, ormore times before a prospect comes to the table. Doesn’t it then make sense,to deliver your invitation to join <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> more than just once and in more thanjust one way? At each show, try to incorporate ALL of these WAYS to createinterest in the<strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> opportunity.• Open recruiting• Referral recruiting• Selective recruitingOPEN recruitingDeliver a recruiting talk/commercial at each show highlighting the advantages and excitement of being a <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> Director. Makethe guests aware that we are looking for new Directors in the area. Openly invite every guest to ask for more information. Followthrough during Order Conditioning by extending the offer to hear more about our opportunity to each guest individually; if they do nottake you up on your offer, ask them if they perhaps know someone they could recommend.REFERRAL recruitingOnce the show guests have heard your recruiting/commercial, and you’ve extended the offer to hear more, take it a step further byasking them who they know. Encourage guests to become <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> “talent scouts” and refer people they think would be good at<strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> and for whom <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> could be the ideal opportunity. Remember to add that while no experience is necessary, <strong>Park</strong><strong>Lane</strong> does offer a direct appointment to managers who have Party Plan experience. During Order Conditioning, individually ask eachguest/customer if they had thought of someone they could recommend to you.SELECTIVE recruitingAt most every show you will be introduced to guests that exhibit certain characteristics, qualities, and/or relate a “story” that drawsyour attention. Something about them makes your recruiting “antenna” go up! It may be the woman who is expecting and talksabout not wanting to return to her full-time job. It may be the popular fun-loving, life-of-the-party guest, or the sharp-dressed one whoexudes a flair for fashion. It could be the woman with the bubbly personality who you overhear talking about being laid-off from herjob. Whatever it is that you see or hear or learn about a person may very well place them at the top of your “Selective” recruit list.Approach the person and tell them what’s on your mind. Be sincere. Compliment them and let them know what it is about them thathas you believing they and <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> would be a perfect match. Selective recruiting is easy to do; who doesn’t like to becomplimented? It’s flattering to be told that someone genuinely likes you and wants to share with you.Select specific prospects at each show and strike up a conversation designed to spark their interest. Then suggest that you gettogether for lunch or for coffee so that you can share more about <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>’s business opportunity. Send them home with anopportunity tape/CD & literature. Follow through within 24 hours to arrange a meeting with them.Your hostess falls into the “selective” recruiting category. Start planting seeds at the show where you meet her and continue to talkabout the opportunity throughout the coaching process. If she expresses interest, arrange to interview her BEFORE her show so thatyou can convert the format of the presentation to an Introductory Show. Is she still on the fence? Then use the forum of her show toenroll her guests in convincing her she’d be great at <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>!You certainly don’t want to overlook a potential recruit or someone they might refer. Nor do you want to fail to notice someone whomight have been interested if only you had offered some encouragement and pursued them a little. If you approach recruiting “everywhich way”, you will avoid letting new prospects “get loose"!24 The Network

<strong>Lane</strong>tte Souder-Tapia &Lisa BrownLisa Brown, Area Manager (Tammra Gravesorganization) lives in San Diego, California. Sheis part of a fast-growing team led by newly-promotedDivision Manager, <strong>Lane</strong>tte Souder-Tapia.CONVENTIONLisa is a perfect example of just how much theConvention experience can impact the business of someone who is new to <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>.Listen to Lisa’s words as she describes her FIRST Conventionexperience!“I run a school age daycare out of my home in which I have 14 children every day. I am alsoa realtor, so when <strong>Lane</strong>tte told me she had just started a new business two weeks earlier, and asked if I would have ajewelry party at my house, I replied with ‘Oh <strong>Lane</strong>tte, I’m so busy’. But to support my friend in her new venture, ofcourse I had that party, and oh, how my life has changed ever since!I was so impressed with the jewelry I wanted to earn everything for free. I started asking <strong>Lane</strong>tte lots of questions.‘How many parties would I have to have to get everything? How much money do you make partying? etc.’ So, after myparty, <strong>Lane</strong>tte explained how to get lots of free jewelry, get paid to wear it, and THEN she told me how I had just earnedmy starter kit worth $1,000! I said, ‘Are you kidding me? That’s the easiest business I’ve ever started!’ I have beenself-employed my entire adult life. And I thought I was too busy! Starting <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> on Nov. 6 th , 2006, was one of thebest decisions I’ve made.Then I was told about the upcoming Las Vegas Convention. I said well, ‘I won’t know anyone and I’m to new to thebusiness’. Again, there was <strong>Lane</strong>tte saying, ‘I’m going, you can go too, invite a friend, we’ll share a room and drivetogether’. So of course I went to the Convention. That was the second best decision I made.I came home from The Las Vegas Convention a new person. I met so many positive people with great attitudes.Everyone was so helpful and nice to others. It made me want to be a better person, not only to other <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>rs, butto everyone. I was inspired from hearing the different speakers share about the personal success you canachieve with the company and was amazed to hear how fast you can grow and promote. I was alsoimpressed with the LeVin family and how involved they all are. I felt like I was part of a small family business. It justso happens that this small family business has thousands and thousands of family members. I start every one of myparties by telling the guests about this wonderful family’s story and how it all started.Before the convention I just wanted lots of free jewelry (who doesn’t) and a little extra cash. Since going to the conventionI have an entire new set of goals. Within three weeks of returning from convention I went from Branch Director toArea Manager. Now I want to be a Division Manager with a huge team of wonderful women with me.Oh! And the great ideas we came home with! One of my favorite ideas from convention was, ‘Party in a bag’. Send acute little bag with a catalog, order forms, one roll of jewelry, a drink and a snack to work with your family,friends, anyone and everyone. They take it to work with them on a Monday and return it to you on a Friday, and voila!...You had 5 parties in one week without leaving your house!We were so excited by what we learned at convention! The six hour ride home from Las Vegas was all about brainstorming.There were five of our team members in the car and did we ever come up with somefantastic ideas! Here are some of them: Have a table at job fairs to attract recruits, advertise with women’s groups,labels on your catalogs to explain the great pricing details (bonus items) and how they can receive FREE jewelry, andlast but not least....ALWAYS, ALWAYS dress your family and friends in Jewels by <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> and send them with plentyof business cards whenever they are going out anywhere. Our team is closer than ever and we all support each otherfully. A TEAM THAT WORKS TOGETHER SUCCEEDS TOGETHER!!!”That says it all, Lisa! Your enthusiasm shines right through your words! Congratulations on your successand keep on growing! With your excitement it’s a sure bet that, for you, the BEST is yet to come!APRIL 2007 27

Katie Agelis“I just wanted to extend a personal message to theentire <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> family. I started as a FashionCONVENTIONDirector in March 2006, and told my recruiter, TinaLebron, that I only wanted to do one show a week. Isaid I didn’t want any pressure, nor any out-of-pocket investment. It was Tina’s softapproach and unbelievable LOVE of <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> that convinced me and my husband thatI should give <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> a try. I have two beautiful children, Gabby (3 years old) and Peter(21 months), and I love being with them, but we saw <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> as a way for me to getout of the house for a little ‘ME TIME’. Plus, we were looking for a way to supplementour family’s income.Before becoming a full-time ‘Mommy’, I was a retail manager for 11years and in retail for 13years. My husbandis a New York City Police Officer who works two jobs so I was able to be home with our children. As the costof living went up, unfortunately his pay did not, so it got a little scary. We talked about me going back towork in retail, but we knew the end result would be a minimum of 44 hours a week and giving half, if not more,of my income to pay for two kids in daycare. .....And then I was blessed; I found <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>. I am sure thereare countless stories like this out there, but I really wanted to express my love for this business and for thiscompany!In just eight months, I advanced from Fashion Director to Division Manager. I won the Puerto Vallarta trip!(I took the alternate cash prize.) And, it went right down to the wire on Jan.31 st , but I qualified my 20th recruitto earn my CASH JACKPOT BONUS of $1500, which I received at the Vegas Convention! These are justthe EXTRA perks; the real reward is the personal growth I’ve gained, the encouragement I’ve received, andall the personal touches the company and my managers provide. I spent 11 years with my prior company,and never received any recognition. Even when I went on maternity leave, I did not even get a congratulationscall or card about the birth of my child. In <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>, I have felt appreciated… recognized…rewarded. Rightdown to receiving congratulatory phone calls! It’s great to pick up the phone and be told “You’re doing a GREATJOB!”<strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> is always making me (and I am sure everyone else) feel so important and special. I tell my groupall the time it is virtually impossible to be ‘loser’ in <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong>. The Company offers so many ways to win; somany contests and rewards to reach for that just by trying, anyone and everyone can be a winner plus have$$$$ in their pocket! My team has grown so much over the last couple of months thanks to the ‘buddy system’.It is so rewarding to watch members of my group start where I did and move up at their own pace.<strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> has truly made a difference in my and my family’s life. I have a successful business and still getto enjoy my Family Life! I was so honored to have earned a place at the executive manager’s meeting atConvention and I’m looking forward to the next Convention to experience more excellent training, receiveexciting new jewelry, and be challenged by new contests and the next dream trip destination! Thank you toArthur and Shirley for starting this “idea” of business style, and to the rest of the <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Lane</strong> family for continuingthe dream. Thank you to Sue Mruz, who is an outstanding Company Vice-President with so much HEART,and of course, thank you to Tina Lebron for generously sharing this awesome opportunity with me.”Sincerely,Katie AgelisDivision Manager (Long Island, New York)Lebron/Mruz organizationAPRIL 2007 29
