"Rally"ing the troops

This past weekend I ventured up to Columbus, OH with some of my jewelry peeps for Premier's regional rally! Rally's are all about giving you that shot in the arm you need to get your eyes back on the prize. You get lotsa training & lotsa recognition! You also get NEW JEWELRY! Woot Woot!

We also have a great time dancing. (My vote is that they play all the great dancing music so we don't fall asleep! Rally is ex-haus-ting!)

After they announce the woot woot new jewelry-whoever pre-ordered it has a par-tay in their hotel room & we all get to take a peek!

The founders of Premier attend every.regional.rally. There are 6 total. 3 one weekend & 3 the next. They travel to them all. And they are 85. And I think I'M exhausted?!

This year, sadly, Andy had to come alone. Back in the beginning of December, Joan passed away after a brief illness. But I swear, that Andy Horner shoulda been a preacher. While there was not a single dry eye in the house as he told us about Joan's passing, he also told such a touching & uplifting story of her being with our Heavenly Father. He really makes you feel differently about death.

And these were the first rallys in 25 years that Joan was unable to attend. While it was very strange without her smiling face there to present the new jewelry to us, I know that Premier is the kind of company that will keep her ideals alive through the new generation. Tear...

Ok, lets dry it up, shall we?

Premier is really big on recognition. And this little chickadee right here got to walk across the stage for achieving the first level in the Crown Jewel Program. All I had to do was have $6,000 retail in a consecutive 30 day period. Sheesh! No wonder I was exhausted a few months ago! I was workin' hard!For acheiving the Amethyst level, I also got a certificate from Premier for $200 in free jewelry! Go me!

See my name on the big screen?!

Me & my jewelry mama!

This is our whole crew! We had these super cute signs made too! They are zebra print & they say "Wild About Premier" in hot pink & have a ring in the middle!

So now I've been to rally it's time to get busy. I mean, I can't let those other girls catch me & take away my top retailer crown. Psssssh!
