Yesterday's Community Update Conference Call

Some great information came out yesterday during the community update meeting.  Some highlights:

• We talked a bit about the Ambassador initiative and getting the right types of ambassadors who are interested in the business and growing with Barefoot.  Don't just sign up everybody you know.  For every ambassador who signs up under you and joins your team, you'll get 10,000 loyalty points and will work toward the teambuilder competition.  The grand prize is a trip to the 2010 conference.  
  As a reminder, new ambassadors are eligible for the starter kit at $99.99 and will earn 20% commision on that as well. 
  An Animal Boogie Digital Short is coming in the not too distant future.  It will be similar to the Driving my tractor digital short that came out last year.  An ambassador asked about the possibility of these coming to DVD and Rebecca stated that it was something they talked about but no concrete plans to do that yet.
• Barefoot's very first official PODCAST will be coming soon!
• Barefoot is working on seasonal themes that they hope to get out to all ambassadors about a month ahead of time so that we can plan our business around special events, incentives and promotions. 
• They have hired a new director of IT, communications and community relations team.  So, some shuffling at the corporate level.
• The loyalty points report is now available, which will let us know where our points are coming from and how they are spent. 
• They are working on the team member sales report. 
• Coming soon:
• Updated marketing materials (including new catalogs)
• Information regarding approaching trade accounts, which will now be something that ambassadors can offer to stores, gift shops and specialty stores.    

Please let me know if you have any questions!  Definitely an exciting time to be an ambassador!
