|
|
| DeeDee |
|
|
- Hometown: Palatine, IL
- Details: 1st grade teacher
- Recognition: Inducted into Paperly's inaugural President's Council; Graduate of Paperly's Future Leaders Program (Class #1)
- Greatest Enjoyment: "The challenge of owning my own business and meeting new, interesting people. I also enjoy helping (party) guests choose a style to match their personality or gift needs."
- Don't be Afraid: DeeDee will readily admit that she was concerned her expertise in teaching might not translate into running her own business. Fortunately, DeeDee decided to step outside her comfort zone, and as she said, Paperly has helped her "learn so much about all aspects of business."
- Growth: DeeDee knows the Paperly experience has helped her grow personally and professionally in unexpected ways. In her own words, "I've become a more confident person."
|
|
|
| If you're in the Chicago area, DeeDee would be very happy to share her Paperly experiences with anyone interested in learning more. |

| Lee |
|
|
- Hometown: Sugar Land, TX
- Details: Stay-at-home mom
- The Un-Sales Person: "I never thought of myself as a typical sales representative, so I was a little apprehensive joining." Fortunately, as Lee has discovered and attests to, "the products are selling themselves!"
- Color Collection: Paperly's products reflect the customer's style, be it paper color, font, ink color or design. Lee's favorite is the Color Collection because "the color and design combinations are endless (and) the price is unbeatable".
- Words of Advice: Half-jokingly, Lee - an avowed stationery lover - suggests "Don’t spend all your commission checks on (Paperly) products for yourself!!"
- Fundraising: Paperly loves receiving suggestions from its Consultants. Lee recently asked how she could use Paperly as a fundraiser for her child’s school or sports organizations. Consequently, fundraising is now on Paperly's "to do" list.
|
|
|
| Lee has described herself as "an old fashioned southern girl (who) loves to entertain", so if you're in Texas and you wish to host a Paperly party, I'm confident Lee would love to help! |

| Brenda |
|
|
- Hometown: Clarendon Hills, IL
- Details: Employed full-time
- Why Paperly?: Brenda relishes that Paperly is not another over-saturated direct selling business. "I love working for a new and fresh direct selling company." In addition, Brenda absolutely loves the products! "Most people love stationery and love giving and receiving personalized products. It is an easy sell."
- Off to a Fast Start: Brenda sold more than $1,000 per month in 3 of her first few months as a Paperly Consultant. Her fast start has earned her a bunch of free business supplies via Paperly's Fast Start Rewards program.
- Writer's Cramp: Brenda's typical Paperly party is busy! "It seems that at most parties I start taking orders immediately and don’t stop until the last guest leaves."
- Favorite Product: "The gift stickers are one of my favorites," especially when a customer places checkboxes next to their children's names. As Brenda put it so eloquently, "they are unique, fun, and convenient."
- The Future: Brenda is VERY excited about her future at Paperly. "I am dreaming BIG! I envision myself working with Paperly for years to come and... that I am destined to become a rising star and on to a director."

| Laura |
|
|
- Hometown: Greenville, SC
- Details: Employed full-time
- Special Stuff: Laura once drove 325 miles to conduct a Paperly party. Not only was the party a success, but Laura recruited a Paperly Consultant from it!
- Why Paperly: "I love the products!... My favorite part is delivering the products to the Hostess and hearing back from customers who love their products."
- The Numbers: Laura holds, on average, 1-2 parties per month, selling around 16 products at each party. Her typical party is 2-3 hours on a weeknight, Saturday morning or Sunday afternoon. Her average commission from her parties exceeds $110.
- The future: "I look forward to growing my business through booking more parties and adding members to my team of Consultants."
|
|
|
| If you're in South Carolina, Laura would be happy to work with you to host a Paperly party. She'd be the first to suggest that the best way to appreciate Paperly's potential earning power is to attend a party. |

| Pam |
|
|
- Hometown: Easton, MD
- Details: Married, stay-at-home mom, children aged 9 months and 3 and 6 years
- Self-described: "I obsessively buy stationery. At the rate I'm going, I'll likely be the proud owner of a million note cards."
- Why Paperly: "I love helping customers discover the stationery that fits their style: classic, modern, conservative or preppy. Choosing a design is so personal, yet it's not a major commitment, so it's easy to change the next go-around."
- The Numbers: Pam knows what she's talking about... in 2009, Pam ranked in the top 5 in terms of parties, sales and commissions.
- Interesting Observation: "I am often surprised at what products people choose for themselves. I think she'll like something modern, when in fact, she chooses something preppy. It's never a dull moment!"
|
|
 |
|
|
| Pam prides herself on going the extra mile, even including free gift wrapping on her orders. If you or a friend live near Pam, we'd be happy to put her in touch with you. |

|
| Tricia |
|
|
- Hometown: Rome, NY
- Details: Married with two children, ages 9 and 11. Employed full-time.
- Why Paperly: "I most enjoy the flexibility Paperly provides. I can manage my own schedule, keep my full-time job, and express myself creatively by helping others design stationery that matches their personality and style."
- Parties, Parties, Parties: Tricia consistently averages 2-3 parties per month, even though she's extremely busy working full time and driving to-and-from kids' activities.
- Secret to Success: Tricia keeps in touch with her family and friends via email and social networking sites (primarily Facebook) to let them know about products and promotions and to encourage gift giving ideas. "Use every possible method of sharing your business with others: email, social networking, blogs, Paperly's business cards, catalogs, flyers, etc. Everywhere you go, every chance you get, talk about Paperly."
- Fun Ideas: Tricia has hosted several Mystery Hostess parties as well as used Paperly to help support her favorite fundraising causes.
- Return on Investment: "I paid off my Paperly Starter Kit in my second month. I can't think of many businesses that have their start-up fees paid off that quickly."
|
|
|
| Tricia is very optimistic about Paperly's future. "It is exciting to be on the ground floor of this organization as it grows exponentially over the coming years!" |

| Christi |
|
|
- Hometown: Houston, TX
- Details: Married, employed full-time (as a radio DJ nonetheless!), children aged 3 and 1
- Stationery Addict: Christi will be the first to admit that being a Paperly Consultant has helped with her stationery addiction. Before Paperly, "my husband would not allow me to go near a stationery store." At least now, she buys using her Consultant discount.
- 3 Things: Paperly has come naturally to Christi because (1) she loves being her own boss, (2) she loves running her own stationery "store" and (3) the products are so much fun. "I decide when I'm going to have a party and my success is based on me. I like that."
- Bigger is Better: "I always tell my Hostess to over invite, so she reaps the rewards." Christi's message must be working – in 2009, her average party was almost 40% bigger than Paperly's average!
- Just Do It: Christi's passion shines through whenever she discusses the Paperly opportunity. "Don't question whether or not you should join this great team. (Just) get yourself ready to LOVE what you do," because you will.
- Social Networks: Many of Christi's parties have come from Facebook. She's had a number of high school classmates contact her through Facebook to either place orders or host parties.
|
|
|
| Christi is hoping to build a successful team of recruits, so if you're in Houston, we'd be happy to connect you with her. |

| Jen |
|
|
- Hometown: Danville, CA
- Details: Married, stay-at-home mom, 2 boys (4 and 6)
- Fast Start: Jen was the first Paperly Consultant to achieve Month 1, 2 and 3 rewards as part of Paperly's Fast Start program. With the rewards she earned, she can acquire enough FREE catalogs & order forms to last a long, long time.
- Why Paperly: Like most successful Paperly Consultants, Jen adores paper. In addition, Jen likes being able to schedule when she works (and when she plays). Plus, she loves earning the extra income.
- Easy to Imitate: Even though Jen's Paperly parties are wildly successful, she readily admits, she's no magician. "I (merely) chat with (the attendees) to find what they might like and point out samples they may find interesting." She makes it sound easy, doesn't she?!
- Home Office: Paperly's staff "has been very helpful and great to work with!"

| Jen is interested in building a Paperly team, so if you're in or near the Bay Area, please feel free to reach out to her. |
