 TOP DISTRIBUTORS FOR 2011.
Once again I am in the Company's Top 10 Recruiters of new distributors (based on
how productive they are), and again among the Top 100 Retailers nationwide.
Usually our trophies are etched plexiglass; this year is real glass. They all
look nice. Congrats to our other team members also on the list - see our
Discussion Board post.

How's business?
November set a new record for me in my personal sales. December personal sales
smashed that figure. And my total volume for
my personal group in November was the largest this year. And the check I got in
Nov for October business was the largest this year. Business continues to be
great now that the backorder problem is gone. More on our Discussion
Board.
Dec 20 Update:
Fuller-Stanley is successfully out of Ch 11
with new owners, and the factory and land back in the hands of local Great Bend
people. Had a great 2-hour conversation with Larry Gray last night with lots of
updates. Good things coming - new product lines, product videos for training,
the Fuller Outlet stores are all closing in favor of us handling the business.
Much more on our Discussion Board. Our usual Anniversary sales will
continue this Jan & Feb. Listen to the Dec 31 Sales Hotline and see our Team
Discussion Board for specifics.
Jan 17, 2013 & May 20, 2013 Update: NO backorders; they have caught up with their inventory
control.
April 8, 2013 - Email newsletter sent to the Team - if you didn't get it,
subscribe here (or check your spam filters). Announced our NEW Training Website.

IMPORTANT FULLER
WEBSITES |
|
FULLERDIRECT
You NEED to request your FREE
Fuller Direct website. Did you?
Use the form in your kit saying you want it. I
also include a pdf copy here and
in my welcome email, which is also in our File Library
and your MyFullerBiz website. Mail or fax to Fuller, wait a
couple days and try it. Then advertise your
website as "Discount Fuller & Stanley at
http://www.FullerDirect.com/9200298 " substituting your ID# for mine. |
MYFULLERBIZ
Also remember, since many
forget, the site Fuller gives you to place your own wholesale orders and to
check your customer and distributor activity and see other announcements and
company flyers is
www.MyFullerBiz.com and you login with your 7-digit ID# and use the last 4
numbers of your soc sec # as your password (until you change it). You get this
site automatically, as well as the site to sign up new
distributors. |
|
Take
advantage of Fuller’s sign-up specials NOW to build your group!
All signup specials are continued through
June 2013.
DWT Manual 3 is the Fuller Gold Team
5-page Recruiting letter,
updated Dec 2012. Download
it to edit for your recruiting at our File Library.
Use by Fuller distributors who are not a member of the
Downeast Winning Team is a copyright violation.
New instruction page to make sure you don't need to pay more
than 65c or 85c postage for a full, complete, dealer-info package. Make sure I
know if you are actively recruiting and have this letter ready to mail if I send
you leads in your area. Too much reading just confuses people, but it must also
tell enough to answer their questions. That's why our package
works so much better than Company brochures. Remember, only ONE Kit per person, so encourage the largest $170 R205 Gold Select
Business Builders Kit for $59.95.
Sponsor new distributors
with the FULLER BRUSH 24-hour RECRUITING LINE
1-800-477-3855
and ask them to call you back for the details. If you want help, call me.
* NEW Postage rates Jan 20, 2013: A 3oz mailing in a #10 or
6x9 envelope will mail for 86c, 2oz 66c. However, more than 3oz,
or a 9x12 envelope, nearly doubles the cost. See usps.com for full details and
rates. |
THE DWT
TRAINING WEBSITE
The rest of
the Company doesn't have this.
For
OUR Team members only.
It was created by Roland Rhoades and Mark Haynes to put US a
cut above the rest. {And just may be the reason why OUR team
has had the Company's last 22 Director or above promotions!}
We guard this site and you receive it after you join with a
DWT member.
It
has PRODUCT PROMOTION & EDUCATION for you and your
customers. NEW flyers available to photocopy for Fulsol, Fullsan, Electrostatic
Carpet Sweeper, Fuller Difference in Bathroom Cleaning,
Sticky Stuff Remover geared toward commercial sales,
Boar-bristle hairbrushes, Stainless Steel Sponges, Deodorant Moth blocks, and the Dryer Vent Brush
- Refrigerator Coil
Brush. See the Discussion
Board>Forms & Flyers and/or File Library for the 8x11 flyers. It also has
our training manuals on many subjects. Updated regularly.
We also
announce anything new, many times before the Company does.
Please add your product testimonials to the many more posted on our
Discussion Board. Sharing our product experiences helps us
all when we work and learn as a Team. Thanks. |

Here is my 2005 Toyota Prius
gas-electric hybrid car. Notice the license plate. Only $25 extra in Maine. I
charged it as a business advertising expense too. I washed it with 'Fuller Car
Wash & Wax'* right before the photo. All paid off in 13 months. Click on the car
for more on my Prius page, and more about my vacations on that link.
My car and I, and the head of the Company when he visited me, are also on my
home page.
*Product discontinued,
but I loved it.

WHAT IS THIS BUSINESS
ALL
ABOUT?
Don’t make this business
more complicated than it is or more simple than it is. If you sit at home and
don’t tell anyone you have Fuller Brush products available, but just wait hoping
somebody will find you anyway and order products on your website, you shouldn’t
have joined. But as any active dealer can testify, if you actually tell people
that you sell FB products and have catalogs, people will be asking you for
catalogs and products, and telling their friends about you. Buy your own Fuller
products. You don’t have to sell people on Fuller, but you do have
sell yourself on Fuller and speak up
and tell them that you are here. I see many applications come through each month
from someone in the same town as a current dealer, but they were sponsored by
someone across the country. You NEED to get your name out there if you want the
business! Use the flyers in your kit and place [classified]
ads in your local weekly shopper
newspaper. I also get many questions that we have already answered in our
training manuals. Everybody should be sure to read our DWT Manuals. They are
FREE on our training website. Manual 1 gives getting started info and sample
ads. Manual 2 and 3 are on recruiting. Manual 4 is on retailing.
Stay in touch and let me
know how things are going. I’m always here if you can’t reach your own sponsor.
That’s one advantage of being on our TEAM. Keep your eyes on the horizon, as well as your bottom line.

CUSTOMER REFERRALS. Some of you know that I refer
customers and dealer leads to you when they find my "Find a
local dealer" webpage. I have listed
some dealers in some states, but I refer customers to active dealers in all
states who offer personal delivery. Listing all 50 states would just be too
cumbersome, and I'd rather have them contact me anyway so that I have their name
in hand; if I don't have a
dealer in their area yet, maybe I or you will recruit one there soon. I have
sent customers to many of you who are not listed. However, I
help those who help themselves. If I see I have a dealer in the town requested,
but you haven't ordered in a few months, I assume you can't or won't help them.

NOTICE re
Facebook and other social networks. I am NOT on Facebook for
Fuller Brush, so I don't get into Fuller friends or business on there. I only use Facebook
for my genealogy (family tree) pursuits and Liberal politics. If those are your
interests too, go ahead and friend me with a message. Other requests for
Facebook are ignored. Other social network invitations are automatically directed to
spam since I have no time to get involved in them and would never check messages
on there anyway. Thanks. |
NEW DISTRIBUTOR POLICY
-
beginning mid-June 2012. I EMAIL new distributors on
my team a welcome with getting started info, my newsletter link, training
website, and who your upline is, IF your sponsor tells me about you, and if they
want me to. My personal group distributors may also receive that info via mail.
Some of my team leaders like Director Mark Haynes does a great job himself of trying to
make his team successful and providing an e-newsletter. If you are a recruiter
and sponsor, especially if you are a Director, you should do the same and be
YOUR team leader; after all, if your new distributors don't make money, neither
do you. I learned when my team grew to over 1000 distributors, that I
CANNOT be everybody's personal sponsor. I have tried, but there are only
so many hours in the day, and I also have a life, and this business has grown to
the point where I can relax and really enjoy that life. I was also
getting exasperated by recruiters on my team who sponsored and sponsored and
could never be bothered telling me who was new on the team, let alone contact
their new distributors themselves to help them become successful. I will
continue, with Mark Haynes, to maintain our Training website facilities and
content, for everybody on my team, no matter how many levels down you may be in
my team. If you joined with a member of my team, you should be able to reach
them with your questions. If you can't or they are unresponsive, email me and/or
the Company. Thanks.
BEFORE YOU JOIN, you should make sure the person you are joining with is
reachable, should you want help in the future. If you have already joined,
the only option the Company allows is, after your 12-month distributorship
expires, wait 6 months and rejoin as new. OR just take responsibility for
yourself, use our team training, and become your own team leader (That's what I
did years ago). Thanks.
