REINVENT YouR...<br />
Future... Business... Style... Success... Self...<br />
Reinvent your…you fill in the blank! Right<br />
now, I think just about everyone is feeling<br />
the need to reinvent themselves in a<br />
positive way, and I’m a true believer that<br />
<strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> gives you lots of options to do<br />
just that!<br />
Reinvent is our theme for 2009, and by<br />
now, if you’ve seen the Spring/Summer<br />
2009 Catalog or attended Fashion<br />
Week, you’ve seen that we’ve put the<br />
word into practice by bringing <strong>Cookie</strong><br />
<strong>Lee</strong> to a whole new fashionable level!<br />
This season, the catalog itself is your<br />
“style guide” and reads like a fashion<br />
magazine that gives tips on the latest<br />
looks and how to wear them. Your<br />
customers will see more than ever<br />
that <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> is at the forefront of<br />
fashion and totally on trend. Plus,<br />
everybody is looking for value, and<br />
the new jewelry screams “value”<br />
with innovative versatility and great<br />
price points!<br />
But as the headline suggests, we’re<br />
looking at reinvention from all<br />
different angles! You can start by<br />
reinventing your style, but you<br />
don’t have to stop there. You can<br />
reinvent your life, your success and<br />
your recruiting by re-evaluating<br />
your definition of a “career” and<br />
rethinking the way you can earn<br />
income for your family. We’ve heard<br />
story after success story, including<br />
Executive Director III Mine Veral-<br />
Burk (see pg. 28), of Consultants<br />
who suddenly had the responsibility<br />
to support their whole family due to<br />
a layoff or family crisis and DID IT<br />
with their <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> business! You may not be in a<br />
desperate situation, but you can use the extra income<br />
to give yourself financial security and a strong future.<br />
The key is that you have to believe that you have what it<br />
takes to reinvent yourself. You have something valuable<br />
to offer women across the country, but you have to<br />
make the opportunity relevant to them and you have<br />
to be passionate about the jewelry. I recently spoke<br />
to students at the University of Southern California<br />
(USC) about being an entrepreneur and the lessons I’ve<br />
learned along the way, so let me share a few with you:<br />
1. You have to have a goal that is compelling enough to<br />
get you off the sofa each day to work your business.<br />
2. You have to be passionate about what you do—it<br />
needs to get you excited!<br />
3. You can’t be afraid to work hard for something you<br />
truly believe in.<br />
4. You have to set your own priorities and not work<br />
according to someone else’s. Make a decision for<br />
yourself about what’s most important to you.<br />
5. You have to be resourceful and find a way to get<br />
around the challenges—don’t let them stop you or<br />
get you down.<br />
6. Don’t listen to negativity.<br />
7. Find something to set you apart and give you a<br />
competitive edge.<br />
8. Capitalize on the areas of your business that you love<br />
the most, but still work on all the others.<br />
As an entrepreneur, you have the freedom to make<br />
your business whatever you want it to be. Use the tools<br />
available to you this season to reinvent how you look at<br />
selling, recruiting, home shows, your style, your business<br />
and ultimately, your life. I am so excited about this new<br />
season and can’t wait to hear your success stories!<br />

“<br />
My husband lost his job, and I wanted to make<br />
extra money. I went to a home show and saw<br />
that my recruiter made 50% profit, how easy!<br />
As I started doing <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong>, I was able to<br />
put my husband through school and keep our<br />
kids active in extra-curricular activities.<br />
”<br />
— “I” story from Executive Director I Annette Page,<br />
Latrobe, Pennsylvania<br />
<strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> is<br />
“Getting America<br />
Back to Work!”<br />
This is our goal for 2009.<br />
Our business opportunity<br />
has always been about<br />
<strong>Cookie</strong>’s passion to help<br />
moms be able to stay<br />
home with their kids.<br />
Now, in this tough<br />
economy, all women<br />
are receptive to this<br />
message and your<br />
offer for the hope of<br />
earning an extra $ 200<br />
or more a month by<br />
joining and selling <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong><br />
jewelry. Remember when the presidential candidates<br />
debated about the definition of “rich vs. middle class” in<br />
America? One candidate said a $ 250,000 a year salary.<br />
The other joked that it was $ 5 million a year. The point<br />
is, in today’s economy EVERYONE is open and willing<br />
to listen to your suggestion to join and become a new<br />
<strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> Consultant. Sure everyone is tightening<br />
their wallets. But if you ask enough people, you will<br />
find a steady stream of Consultants just like Annette<br />
Page (quoted above) who are ready to embrace our<br />
income-earning opportunity. So this is the year that<br />
our company will grow to new heights as we help, “Get<br />
America Back to Work”!<br />

John’s Blog Has Moved<br />
If you are like me, maybe you have never clicked on<br />
a blog before. Join me in keeping up with technology<br />
by visiting my daily blog. Just go to www.cookielee.<br />
com and log in as a Consultant, then scroll over to the<br />
Home tab and click on John’s Blog. You’re in! Go and<br />
see what’s there. Want to contribute something to the<br />
blog? Just email your success stories, photos, tips,<br />
and, of course, funny stuff to johnlin@cookielee.com.<br />
We could, but we don’t want to spend endless hours<br />
surfing the internet. Just one new page every day and<br />
all postings are archived. Information is power!<br />
Why Club Med Punta Cana?<br />
There is a reason why this will be our fifth trip to a<br />
Club Med resort. Our Consultants love the delicious<br />
all-you-can-eat food, all free activities and water<br />
sports, entertainment all day and every evening and<br />
this year it’s an all-new facility. Ah, to enjoy the ocean<br />
and the beach at a tropical resort. Punta Cana is in the<br />
Dominican Republic within the Caribbean, and it’s<br />
the hot new destination for celebrities. Even Donald<br />
Trump is building a resort there. But the biggest<br />
reason Consultants love Club Med is that we will all<br />
be together in one happy village. The camaraderie and<br />
fun, along with the opportunity to make new, lifelong<br />
friends and connections are unbeatable. Biggest secret:<br />
the husbands and guests end up having the most fun<br />
of all. Be there.<br />
Let’s beat this economy and Get America Back<br />
to Work!<br />
Love,<br />
John Lin, CEO

Viva las Consultantes Hispanas<br />
de <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong><br />
En nuestro evento de la Semana de Moda del 10 de<br />
Enero, tuvimos un Lanzamiento de Comercio Hispano<br />
divertido y emocionante. Disfrutamos un vídeo de<br />
“Juanita La Fea” donde protagoniza Juanito, quien<br />
se pone la joyería de <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> y se transforma en<br />
la hermosa <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong>. Hubo historias inspiradoras<br />
de Consultantes exitosas, mucho entrenamiento y<br />
planes para el crecimiento en reclutamiento y ventas<br />
para en el 2009. ¡Estas en el lugar apropiado!<br />
America el País de Oportunidad<br />
Gracias a ti, tendremos un gran crecimiento en el<br />
mercado Hispano de <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> este año. ¿Economía<br />
difícil? <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> es la respuesta. Como segundo<br />
trabajo, puedes fácilmente ganar $ 100 ó mas cada mes<br />
vendiendo joyería y eso podría ser una gran ayuda.<br />
Los padres de Juanito y <strong>Cookie</strong> llegaron a este país<br />
hace 50 años con solamente un par de dólares en sus<br />
bolsillos. ¡Mira cuanto se puede lograr en sola mente<br />
una generación con mucho trabajo y educación!<br />
Gracias por ser parte de la familia <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong>. Por<br />
favor envía tus historias de éxito a espanol@cookielee.<br />
com y la incluiremos aquí ó en el Blog de Juanito.<br />

Historia de Éxito<br />
Sugerencias<br />
de Nyra<br />
Establezca un objetivo de la<br />
cantidad de dinero que usted<br />
quiere ganar cada semana<br />
del mes. Escriba su objetivo<br />
de ventas en una hoja de<br />
papel y cuando usted venda el<br />
producto o haga una demostración puede descontar<br />
la cantidad de sus ventas hasta que haya alcanzado<br />
su objetivo. Por ejemplo:<br />
$ 200 Objetivo de la semana<br />
- $ 50 Orden telefónica para un cliente<br />
$ 150<br />
- $ 100 Demostración de Hogar<br />
$ 50<br />
- $ 50 Orden para un compañero de trabajo<br />
¡Felicidades! ¡Alcanzó su OBJETIVO!<br />
¡Cuándo salga a pasear regale cinco catálogos en un<br />
día! ¡Dígase ha usted misma que no puede regresar<br />
a casa hasta que lo logre! ¡Cuando haga esto estará<br />
segura de reservar demostraciones y vender muchas<br />
joyas! ¡Sea apasionada cuando usted ofrezca sus<br />
catálogos y asegúrese que tenga muchas joyas<br />
puestas! ¡Las mujeres desean joyas con estilo para<br />
combinar su vestuario!<br />
El 2008 ha sido un año muy memorable para mi, desde el momento en que contacte a Jeani<br />
Hibbard, Directora Ejecutiva II, para que me brindara toda la informacion de como podia yo<br />
ingresar a <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong>. Cuando hable con ella senti que estaba en el lugar y con la persona<br />
correcta para iniciar mi propio negocio, ya que Jeani es una persona muy profecional,<br />
simpatica y amistosa. Tanto fue asi que meses despues de ingresarme a vender joyeria<br />
deje de laborar para la compañia donde ya tenia tres años trabajando, para de esa forma<br />
poder dedicarme 100% a vender joyeria, la cual le ha encantado muchisimo a toda la gente.<br />
Jeani y yo hemos realizado demostraciones juntas, en las que disfrutamos y nos divertimos<br />
muchisimo. Recuerdo uno de ellos que la anfitriona hecho la casa por la ventana, cosinando<br />
diferentes comidas y aperitivos, para ofrecerle a todas sus invitadas. De lo cual nosotros<br />
solamente podiamos oler y ver la comida por que no tuvimos la invitacion para pasar a tomar<br />
algo. I fue super divertido! despues de terminar la demostraciones nos fuimos directamente a<br />
cenar al Pollo Loco, por que fue demaciado el apetito que se abrio despues de oler y ver tantas<br />
delicias. Fue uno de las demostraciones en los que mas nos hemos divertido. Saludos!<br />

THE COOkIE CONNECTION | SPRINg/SUMMER 2009
what’s happening<br />
The <strong>Cookie</strong> Connection is Going Seasonal and Online<br />
In 2009, the <strong>Cookie</strong> Connection magazine will be going to two printed issues and five<br />
online issues. The two printed issues will be released as Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter<br />
issues, respectively, along with the launch of each new catalog launch.<br />
Why was this decision made?<br />
We understand that this is a big change, but it was a<br />
business decision that we believe will help the company<br />
operate more efficiently. Our first goal is to continue to<br />
provide fabulous jewelry at great prices, and it is also<br />
important for us to give you the tools you need to be<br />
successful. We are excited about the opportunities that<br />
going online will give us now and in the future.<br />
What will be different about the<br />
online issues?<br />
The first online issue will come out in March, followed<br />
by the April/May, June/July, October, November/<br />
December issues. The content in these issues will be<br />
very similar to what is currently included in the printed<br />
issues; including the promotions and recognition.<br />
Some of the added benefits will be:<br />
Ability to forward individual articles, your<br />
promotion, <strong>Cookie</strong> Tips, etc, to those in your email<br />
list and Downline<br />
Search feature to find specific topics<br />
Increased recognition—no more space limitations!<br />
In the near future, we also plan to add multi-media<br />
features such as video-streaming of <strong>Cookie</strong> Tips!<br />
What can I expect to see in the<br />
printed issues?<br />
The primary objective for the printed issues is to<br />
maintain their relevance for the duration of the<br />
Spring/Summer season. These issues will be great to<br />
use for prospective Consultants and new Consultants<br />
as the information will consist of big announcements,<br />
important dates, overview of training opportunities,<br />
articles that are relevant to all Consultant’s businesses,<br />
recognition, etc. All Consultants who have been<br />
promoted since the last printed issue will have their<br />
names listed in the most recent issue, in addition to<br />
having their profile and picture published online at the<br />
time of their promotion.<br />
Again, we understand that this is a big change and we<br />
appreciate your patience as we make the transition.<br />
Our goal is to make the online versions fun, easy to<br />
use, and, of course, fashion forward!<br />
thank you 2008 president’s Circle for your dedication!<br />
Our sincerest gratitude to the influential<br />
contributions made by the 2008 president’s Circle<br />
members including Executive Director II Heather<br />
kirton, Executive Director II Anita Livelsberger,<br />
Executive Director II Connie Allred, Executive<br />

Being selected to this position is a<br />
wonderful affirmation of the work I<br />
have done so far. But more importantly,<br />
this opportunity is a way for my <strong>Cookie</strong><br />
sisters, in the Central Region and beyond,<br />
to communicate all their ideas, concerns<br />
and successes to corporate through me.<br />
<strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> wants to hear from the field and actively seeks change<br />
as needed. How wonderful to be a part of a caring company!<br />

I hope to continue the great work of<br />
previous President’s Circle members by<br />
keeping the ball rolling on important<br />
topics such as product, training, pay<br />
and benefits. The President’s Circle has<br />
the unique power to bring the heartfelt<br />
Consultant perspective to corporate. I<br />
plan to voice the issues and comments of Consultants in the<br />
Northwest Region, as well as those Consultants coast to coast.<br />
I believe the mere fact that we have a President’s Circle is a true<br />
reflection of the heart and soul of <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> and the company<br />
we love so much!<br />

I have so much respect for <strong>Cookie</strong> and<br />
John and the fact that they have made<br />
the President’s Circle an opportunity<br />
available for Consultants. In the five plus<br />
years I have been involved with <strong>Cookie</strong><br />
<strong>Lee</strong> I have been so impressed with the way<br />
this company listens to their Consultants<br />
and quickly implements changes based on that feedback. I hope<br />
to be an excellent representative in decisions that are made so<br />
that they are a win-win for our company and the Consultants.<br />

SoutHweSt reGioN<br />
I am so honored to accept this position<br />
and I am eager to work hard, stretch,<br />
grow and help the company to reach new<br />
levels. I think we are on track for some<br />
exciting changes. I believe the President’s<br />
Circle provides an excellent opportunity<br />
for the company to see and hear what is going on in the field<br />
and it is an important tool for change and continued growth! I<br />
am really looking forward to the coming year.<br />
The 2009 President’s Circle members have been<br />
selected, and this year there is one representative<br />
from ALL seven of our U.S. regions! These topperforming<br />
Executive Directors and above will<br />
serve as an advisory board to corporate staff<br />
by bringing back feedback from the entire field<br />
and Consultant input on a variety of programs<br />
and incentives. They will continue to work<br />
directly with <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong>, CEO John Lin<br />
and corporate staff to positively impact<br />
the future of <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> for the best<br />
interest of the company and especially<br />
our Consultants! We are excited to<br />
welcome these seven influential<br />
leaders who will help make<br />
2009 an amazing year<br />
for ALL!<br />

SoutHerN CaLiForNia reGioN<br />
I am so thrilled to be a part of <strong>Cookie</strong><br />
<strong>Lee</strong>’s future, and I plan on working<br />
hard to help in any way I can. I would<br />
like to see tools implemented in CLICK<br />
that will make our jobs easier and<br />
more productive. I would like to help<br />
formulate incentives that really get our<br />
teams fired up and ready to work even harder to achieve their<br />
goals. The past President’s Circle did some amazing things, and I<br />
hope to continue in that pattern to keep improving our already<br />
wonderful company!<br />
CELESTE LESLIE<br />

NortHeaSt reGioN<br />
It is an honor to be selected to represent<br />
the Consultants of the Northeast<br />
Region. I believe that the President’s<br />
Circle is the voice of the Consultants. We<br />
represent the views and needs from the<br />
field. My goal with the President’s Circle<br />
is to ensure that the entire field of Consultants is represented<br />
and that our needs are met in a realistic manner. I look forward<br />
to being a part of the team that assists corporate in making<br />
decisions and improvements for all Consultants.<br />
LISA YOAkUM<br />

I think it was an excellent strategy<br />
to select one President’s Circle<br />
representative from each of the seven<br />
U.S. regions, to ensure that all areas<br />
of our country are well represented.<br />
Since there are many differences in<br />
demographics, local economies and<br />
even fashion trends, I am so honored to share the Southeast<br />
perspective with our company leaders while being a voice for the<br />
Consultants in my region!<br />

IntroducIng a new cookIe <strong>Lee</strong> start-up optIon—<br />
Kit!<br />
Who is the $ 99 Kit for?<br />
The $ 99 Kit is designed for the prospective Consultant who<br />
is ready to start their own <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> business, but does not<br />
have the full amount needed to make an Option 1 purchase.<br />
What is included in the $ 99 Kit?<br />
The $ 99 Kit includes the Consultant start-up fee, Tote Bag<br />
and all new Consultant training materials, in addition to six<br />
pieces of current, top-selling jewelry to display in their Tote<br />
Bag windows. The six pieces are pre-selected and are not<br />
chosen by the new Consultant.<br />
What is a $ 99 Kit Consultant eligible for?<br />
Full access to website as a Consultant<br />
Eligible to sign up for CLICK services and a <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong><br />
personal web page<br />
Eligible to participate in the QuickStart program<br />
when their qualifying jewelry purchase is made within<br />
their first full calendar month.<br />
Receives emails blasts and Weekly Updates<br />
The recruiter will not receive any points or incentive<br />
credit for a new Consultant signed up at the $ 99 Kit<br />
option. However, the recruiter will receive points,<br />
incentive credit, etc. if their new Consultant makes a<br />
qualifying Option 1 purchase ( $ 325 retail) within their<br />
first full calendar month. For complete details and<br />
rules, please reference the chart provided online at<br />

<strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> is excited to announce a new startup<br />
option that will allow a new Consultant to<br />
join <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> for the very low cost of $ 99!<br />
The $ 99 Kit includes the tools they need to do<br />
a catalog show and begin collecting orders to<br />
go toward their first qualifying Option 1 jewelry<br />
purchase of $ 325 retail ( $ 243.75 wholesale).<br />
How does a $ 99 Kit Consultant become a qualified<br />
Consultant?<br />
A $ 99 Kit Consultant becomes a qualified Consultant when<br />
they make their first jewelry order of $ 325 retail or more. The<br />
$ 99 Kit Consultant cannot make their first purchase unless<br />
their order is greater than or equal to $ 325 retail (Option 1)<br />
in jewelry. At the point of this first purchase, they will be<br />
considered an Option 1 recruit. It is important to note that<br />
the Tote Bag and Start-up fee are included in the cost of the<br />
$ 99 Kit and need not be repurchased when their first Option<br />
1 jewelry purchase is made.<br />
A Consultant who joins at the $ 99 Kit option is not eligible<br />
to make their first purchase at 50% off as an Option 2<br />
Consultant. If their order total is greater than $ 325 retail,<br />
they will receive 25% off the first $ 325 and 50% off the<br />
additional amount of their purchase. They will be considered<br />
an Option 1 recruit and count as an official recruit for their<br />
Upline, please reference the chart provided online at<br />
www.cookielee.com—Training— $ 99 Kit Rules.<br />
What happens once the $ 99 Kit Consultant purchases<br />
Option 1?<br />
Once a Consultant who originally signed up under the $ 99<br />
Kit makes their first qualifying jewelry purchase equivalent<br />
to Option 1, they will enjoy all the benefits of a <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong><br />
Consultant, including:<br />
50% discount on all future purchase<br />
Ability to purchase jewelry in any increment<br />
All purchases will count toward Dream Getaway Trip and<br />
Successorize points<br />
Consultant eligible for Insider’s Club membership<br />
Consultant eligible to recruit new Consultants<br />
Consultant eligible to earn awards
Nyra’s tips oN<br />
How to Use the<br />
$ 99 Kit for Your<br />
<strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> Business<br />
The $ 99 Kit is not for everyone As the recruiter,<br />
it is important to realize that when you sign up a new<br />
Consultant at the $ 99 Kit option, recruiting becomes a<br />
two-step process. Because you will not receive points or<br />
incentive credit until your new Consultant makes their first<br />
qualifying Option 1 jewelry purchase within their first full<br />
calendar month, it is imperative that you train and help<br />
them collect the orders needed to get to Option 1.<br />
The $ 99 Kit is not for everyone and is certainly not the<br />
best value for a new Consultant starting their <strong>Cookie</strong><br />
<strong>Lee</strong> business. It has been designed specifically for the<br />
prospective Consultant who is eager to start their <strong>Cookie</strong><br />
<strong>Lee</strong> business, but would not be able to sign up unless they<br />
collect orders in advance to make their first purchase of<br />
$ $ 325 ( 243.75 wholesale, in other words Option 1).<br />
When should I offer the $ 99 Kit? The $ 99 Kit<br />
option should not be your first offer during your recruiting<br />
interview. As usual, go through the 6 Recruiting Cards,<br />
present Option 1 and Option 2, and answer your prospective<br />
Consultant’s questions so they can make a decision to join<br />
<strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong>. State the reasons why both of these options<br />
will set them up for success as a brand-new Consultant.<br />
If, and only if, your prospective Consultant says they do<br />
not have the money for Option 1 or Option 2, would it be<br />
appropriate for you to offer the $ 99 Kit.<br />
What should I say? Your conversation might sound<br />
something like this:<br />
CONsUlTANT: “Mary, it sounds like the only thing holding<br />
you back from starting your <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> business today is<br />
the money to get started. Is that correct?”<br />
PROsPeCTive CONsUlTANT: “Yes.”<br />
CONsUlTANT: “Well, Mary, I do have another way for you to<br />
join <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> that will help you to generate the money<br />
you need to purchase Option 1, it’s called the $ 99 Kit. The<br />
$ 99 Kit comes with your start-up materials and six of our<br />
top-selling jewelry pieces from the current catalog. This<br />
kit is designed for you to show and sell these six pieces of<br />
jewelry as you give out catalogs to collect orders that total<br />
the $ 325 retail needed to purchase Option 1. Does that<br />
sound like something you’d like to do?<br />
PROsPeCTive CONsUlTANT: “Yes!”<br />
CONsUlTANT: “When you purchase the $ 99 Kit, you will<br />
have until (give exact date) to collect $ 325 in orders. And,<br />
I would be willing to give you some tips on collecting orders<br />
as well do a kick-off home show for you! Your kick-off show<br />
could easily generate the $ 325 you need to purchase Option<br />
1, and I’m sure we’ll also be able to book some future<br />
home shows for you as well! What do you think? Would you<br />
like to start now and purchase your $ 99 Kit today?”<br />
Why is the $ 99 Kit a beneficial<br />
recruiting tool?<br />
The $ 99 Kit is a great recruiting tool for those prospective<br />
Consultants who would otherwise not be able to afford<br />
to sign up with you! But remember that when you offer<br />
the $ 99 Kit to a prospective<br />
Consultant, you are committing<br />
to working with them closely<br />
so that they reach Option 1<br />
within their first full calendar<br />
month. This will ensure that<br />
you receive the benefits of a<br />
new recruit for your Group.<br />
When your $ 99 Kit Consultant<br />
purchases Option 1, then<br />
they will officially count as a<br />
Consultant in your Downline.<br />

tips and inspiration from Your <strong>Cookie</strong> Sisters<br />
I always break my trip goal down into how<br />
many points I need to earn each month. I<br />
make sure I know every way to earn points and<br />
make the most of them. I am always watching<br />
my points and purchasing in $ 500 increments<br />
to maximize purchase points. But most of all, I<br />
keep earning the trip “top of mind”!<br />
kriStiN MCiNtyre, Executive Director I, Fairfax Station, Virginia<br />
I tell all of my friends and I announce at every show that my goal is to earn that trip! Guests<br />
at the shows are amazed that <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> is “giving away” such a great trip to all of their<br />
Consultants. My hostesses and customers refer me to their friends because they know<br />
how committed I am! When you share your dreams and goals with others,<br />
people will step up and help you achieve your goal!<br />
SHaroN BeaN, Executive Director II, Crystal Lake, Illinois<br />
I love being able to treat my husband to a “honeymoon” every year! With <strong>Cookie</strong><br />
<strong>Lee</strong> we’ve had some fabulous ones including a Hawaiian cruise, Turks and Caicos, the<br />
Bahamas, and most recently, Jamaica! We have become great friends with people we’ve<br />
been on the trips with and have such a fun time vacationing with our <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong><br />
buddies! Once you go on a <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> trip, you’ll never, ever want to miss one!<br />
kareN weatHerS, Executive Director I, keizer, Oregon<br />
For the 2009 trip, I changed my voicemail to: “Hi you’ve reached Angie Eaton, Unit Manager II with<br />
<strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> jewelry. I’m out and about earning my FREE trip to Hawaii. ALOHA!” You don’t know how many people<br />
commented on how cute my message was and that they’d love to help me earn it. I’ve received referrals and<br />
orders like you wouldn’t believe!<br />
aNGie eatoN, Unit Manager II, Livermore, California<br />
First and foremost, you have to make the decision that the trip IS something<br />
you WILL earn. Do away with any negative self talk or doubt. Do not allow yourself<br />
to fall into the trap of, “Well, I’ll try and just see what happens”. Make a decision to<br />
do what it takes to earn the trip. Then add a little determination to your “can-do”<br />
attitude and you have a recipe for success.<br />
HeatHer kirtoN, Executive Director II, Everett, Washington<br />
The Dream Getaway Trip is not to be missed because <strong>Cookie</strong><br />
<strong>Lee</strong> and her staff pick the best locations with the best<br />
accommodations and treat us like royalty for the<br />
entire stay. In what other business do you get the fun, rewards and<br />
recognition that we receive with <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> jewelry? Now, go out<br />
there and book some shows, so we can all be at the next Dream<br />
Getaway Trip together!<br />

Enjoy the ease and convenience of this simple online sign-up process!<br />
Get ready to offer this option to any and every one of your prospective Consultants—even recruits who select the $ 99 Kit!<br />
This online alternative provides new sign-ups with greater convenience and increased access to ALL that <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> has to<br />
offer! Prospective Consultants will love that <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> provides the most up-to-date online business tools. But, continue<br />
the person-to-person interaction that we love about this business by guiding your new Consultants through the sign-up<br />
process and online shopping. It’s easier than EVER before to sign up your new Consultants and help them shop for their<br />
first jewelry order right away!<br />
tHere are two wayS For you to oFFer tHe oNLiNe SiGN-up opportuNity:<br />
1. From Your CLICk Personal Web Page<br />
Provide your web page address to all of your potential Consultants. Do this by giving out your business card, sending<br />
an email or leaving your information over the phone. <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> has added a “Become a Consultant” icon to the home<br />
page of all Consultant Personal Web Pages. When a prospective Consultant goes to your web page and clicks on the<br />
“Become a Consultant” icon, they will be routed to the registration pages to sign up online. By going to your web page<br />
to get to the online sign-up process, you will be listed as that new Consultant’s direct Upline. It’s that easy!<br />
2. By Sending an Email Link<br />
If you are not a CLICK member and don’t have a Personal Web Page, you can email the Online Sign-up link to prospective<br />
Consultants. Just go to www.cookielee.com—Business Tools—New Recruit Invitation. On the invitation page you will<br />
be able to click on “Send an Email Invitation”. When you select “Send an Email Invitation” you will be asked to enter<br />
your prospect’s information including email address, phone number, first and last name and you will be able to create<br />
a personalized note. This information will be used to generate an email to your prospect inviting them to sign up with<br />
you as a <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> Consultant. After you’ve entered this information, you will be able to preview your invitation and<br />
the registration link will automatically be included. Then, you will simply click “Send to Prospect”, that’s it!<br />
<strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> will keep you up-to-date with the status of the invitation to your prospective Consultant by sending you an<br />
email when your new recruit completes the sign-up process or letting you know if any outstanding invitations have yet<br />
to be completed. In addition, your Upline will also receive emails with the progress of your prospective Consultant so<br />
they can help you with the process and answer any questions you may have. You get them there and we’ll make it easy<br />
to get them going!<br />
perks of online registration<br />
New Consultants can now shop the current catalog<br />
as well as previous catalogs, <strong>Cookie</strong>’s Outlet, Brilliant<br />
Benefits items and all other <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> products<br />
during their first order!<br />
You can capitalize on prospects’ excitement by signing<br />
them up and getting them shopping immediately!<br />
You can be there to help your new Consultant sign<br />
up anywhere there is a computer. PLUS, you can<br />
easily sign up Consultants whether they live next<br />
door or across the country!<br />
Email sign-up invitations are another great way to<br />
follow up with interested recruits!<br />
Upline Consultants will be informed via email about<br />
the progress of each prospective Consultant!<br />
The online sign-up process includes helpful hints and<br />
additional guidance materials for new Consultants!<br />
It’s convenient and easy!<br />
It can be offered with every sign-up option, including<br />
the $ 99 Kit!<br />

favorite combinations with the Crystal<br />
Expressions set, but play around with<br />
the Filigree and Metallic Expressions<br />
sets to create new looks of your own!<br />
The Charming 5-in-1 necklace/bracelets comes with five bracelets that snap together<br />
to create a necklace. Each bracelet is 7½" long, so you can snap a few<br />
together for a shorter necklace, while wearing a couple as bracelets or you can<br />
wear them all together as a necklace or all separately as five bracelets—it all<br />
depends on how you feel that day! Plus, charms are a hot trend this spring, so<br />
any way you wear yours, you’ll be in style!<br />
s t r e t c h l i n k e d<br />
bracelets<br />
Now you can get the hip look of a<br />
linked bracelet with all the comfort and<br />
versatility of a stretch bracelet. A couple<br />
of our favorites from the Spring/Summer<br />

bracelets (Item #25985 $ 32, set of 3, pg.<br />
44) and the Textured Chain Link bracelet<br />

How to make a<br />
STATEMENT<br />
Step 1<br />
Step 1: Base Necklace<br />
METALLIC GLAM NECKLACE<br />
Item #89779 $ 39 pg. 53<br />
Start your statement look with a<br />
multi-strand or doubled <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong><br />
necklace. This necklace will be the<br />
base for the statement look that you<br />
are about to create. When selecting<br />
your base, keep in mind that the<br />
other necklaces you incorporate will<br />
all need to complement this piece.<br />
Step 2<br />
Step 2: Pendant<br />
SPARKLING STARFISH NECKLACE<br />
Item #25932 $ 24 pg. 18<br />
A pendant helps to define the tone of<br />
your statement necklace. Even if your<br />
base necklace is dressy, you can add a<br />
pendant that is more of a daytime look<br />
or vice versa. You just need to select<br />
a common thread in your statement<br />
pieces whether it is the same finish, a<br />
certain color or a theme like rocks or<br />
links. This will keep your look cohesive<br />
and clean.<br />
cutting-edgecookie<br />
Step 3<br />
the hottest spring/summer 2009 necklace trend is all about making a statement without saying<br />
a word! grab attention by layering cookie <strong>Lee</strong> necklaces into statement necklace combinations.<br />
this signature look can be achieved by mixing and matching your favorite pieces to create<br />
chunky styles that fall just around the collarbone. You’ve seen statement necklaces on the red<br />
carpet and in celebrity magazines, now is the time to try the trend yourself—cookie <strong>Lee</strong> style!<br />
Step 3: Complementary<br />
Necklaces<br />
AQUA ICE NECKLACE<br />
Item #89757 $ 36 pg. 39<br />
Once you have combined a strong base<br />
necklace and a stylish pendant you have<br />
achieved a statement type of look. However,<br />
to really give it the pop of a truly fashion<br />
savvy statement necklace, you can add your<br />
complementary necklace or necklaces. Pick<br />
a necklace or two that ties into any part of<br />
the look that you have created so far. This<br />
extra item is a great opportunity to add a pop<br />
of color or customize your look depending<br />
on the time of day or the occasion.<br />
Statement necklaces are a great way to update your style and upsell trendy combinations to your customers. Affordable <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong><br />
jewelry is the ultimate way to try this fashionista trend. Check out other statement necklace ideas in the Spring/Summer 2009 Catalog.<br />

THE COOkIE CONNECTION | SPRINg/SUMMER 2009<br />
take a behind the scenes look at <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong>’s top<br />
saleswoman for the last three years running! From life as<br />
a stay-at-home mom to supporting her family, Executive<br />
Director III Mine Veral-Burk has done it all and done it in style!<br />
She is not only a model Consultant but our cover supermodel for<br />
<strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong>’s first Spring/Summer 2009 issue. Mine (pronounced<br />
Min-ay) isn’t comfortable with openly talking about her success.<br />
So, take this rare opportunity to learn her secrets to sales, style<br />
and an attitude that is all about the LOVE!<br />
Behind the scenes with<br />
mine<br />
verAl-Burk!<br />
true love<br />
Jewelry has always been a passion of mine since I was a<br />
little girl. So when I found this company, I was in LOVE! I<br />
joined <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> about five and a half years ago. A friend<br />
in my neighborhood was doing a <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> fundraiser<br />
and she knew I was crazy about jewelry. As soon as I saw<br />
the Spring/Summer 2003 Catalog, I loved it and decided to<br />
join <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> on the spot. I had never sold anything in
my life, and I’d never been to a home show. I went home<br />
and called the lady whose information was on the back<br />
of the catalog and said, “I want to do this.” I signed up<br />
and had my first <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> show in my own home at my<br />
dining room table. I sold $ 1,295 dollars in jewelry without<br />
letting go of a single piece! I didn’t know any better yet. It<br />
was really love at first sight, and I never looked back! I was<br />
so sure about my commitment that I ordered a license<br />
plate that said “COOKI L” on it right away.<br />
A Fun loving personAlitY<br />
I am from the Mediterranean country of Turkey. People<br />
there are very passionate and fun loving. I come from<br />
a background where I didn’t have much but there was<br />
a tremendous amount of love. My mother was such a<br />
positive, strong and loving lady. I think I get my strength,<br />
positivity, and always having love in my heart for<br />
everybody in this business because of her. So if anyone is<br />
curious, no, it’s not my accent that makes me sell! I don’t<br />
work that angle. Perhaps my crazy personality helps my<br />
sales. However, such a personality is not necessary for<br />
success in this business. I’m a firm believer in that! Love<br />
of this jewelry line and my excitement about it is what<br />
truly sells it for me, not the personality. I try to be the<br />
Consultant I’d want to have in my house, that’s all. I am<br />
not afraid of being goofy. I go around with my tags on<br />
my jewelry, and I don’t care if that makes me look silly if<br />
it helps me sell jewelry.<br />
eXcitement From the heArt<br />
I am simply somebody who is full of love for EVERYTHING<br />
you can think of! I am passionate about life and my job<br />
with <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong>. I live and breathe this business and that<br />
carries over to my hostesses, Downline Consultants,<br />
potential recruits and especially my customers! My<br />
excitement is so overwhelming and it’s not fake, it’s what<br />
I feel from my heart. I believe we have the best product<br />
with the best price range, plus <strong>Cookie</strong> and John’s heart<br />
and vision to lead the way so I never have to worry about<br />
competition. My best advice is to fall in love with your<br />
product and your company and sales will follow. It’s<br />
always about the jewelry for me, always! Just let your<br />
passion come out for it!<br />
cookie lee For All<br />
Everyone needs <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> in their life; they just don’t<br />
know it yet, and it’s my job to tell them why! People are<br />
not walking around thinking, “I need to have a <strong>Cookie</strong><br />
<strong>Lee</strong> jewelry show today.” I am a big believer that every<br />
woman needs to buy <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> jewelry or have a show.<br />
I tell them that they need <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> and then I list the<br />
reasons why. I tell them that, “Even if you put a single<br />
piece of <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> jewelry on you’ll look hotter and<br />
feel better about yourself!” Jewelry has the potential to<br />
change the way a woman feels. I say, “I don’t care if you<br />
feel awful that day, you’ll look hot!” I believe in the power<br />
of jewelry and how it can transform the way a woman<br />
looks and feels in her daily life.<br />
plAYing With JeWelrY<br />
Home shows are what I enjoy most in this business, I love<br />
them! When you have a handful of women that are there<br />
just to see your jewelry, the opportunities are endless.<br />
This is where the excitement of this jewelry line spreads<br />
to others like wildfire, passion is so contagious. I try and<br />
create a fun atmosphere at my shows and people respond<br />
so well to that. I am a big believer in putting jewelry<br />
on people, and I insist that they do just that. Always<br />
encourage customers to accessorize based on eye, skin<br />
and hair color. This opens up new doors for them, such<br />
as trying gold jewelry instead of silver. I choose pieces<br />
that are going to look fantastic on them and invite other<br />
guests’ feedback. Once they “oooh and aaah”, I can smell<br />
a sale a mile away! This is why I insist that everyone try<br />
their jewelry on, to ensure their satisfaction before they<br />
leave the show.<br />
stAYing motivAteD<br />
My love for this business and the home shows keeps me<br />
going. It wasn’t a financial reason why I started with<br />
<strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong>, but it became a financial need two years into<br />
it. For a while <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> was the “bread and butter” for<br />
my family, including my husband Alan of 22 years and<br />
sons Jeremy (16) and Justin (11). During that time, I<br />
learned that this job can provide for a family of four and<br />
that was a huge revelation for me! Although there was<br />
a greater need for income when my husband was ill and<br />
having business difficulties, I still feel the need to bring<br />
money to my family and be there for my kids when I am<br />
needed at home. That flexibility was a huge motivator in<br />
the beginning and it still keeps me going today!<br />
WhAt’s neXt<br />
I love that <strong>Cookie</strong> is so fashion forward! Because of her<br />
and her emphasis on trends, I have become more fashion<br />
conscious than ever before. It used to take me a long<br />
time to try a new trend. Now, I am so into what is new<br />
and hot, and I’m excited for <strong>Cookie</strong> to bring these styles<br />
to us each season! I can’t wait for our first-ever Fashion<br />
Week and to bring that energy back to the east coast. I<br />
am looking forward to growing with my team this year<br />
and continue to watch them develop and blossom, which<br />
will be my ultimate joy! To know that I had something to<br />
do with other people’s success is an unparalleled feeling.<br />
I want to continue to sell, earn Dream Getaway Trips<br />
with my supportive husband, have fun at my shows, gain<br />
amazing friendships through <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong>, grow, share,<br />
inspire and party with my <strong>Cookie</strong> sisters!<br />

how to<br />
Overcome Common Objections<br />
When I first started in this business, overcoming objections was a stumbling block for me. I got<br />
better at overcoming objections by practicing! I gained training from <strong>Cookie</strong> University, <strong>Cookie</strong><br />
<strong>Lee</strong> events, Consultant speakers, and professional speakers like Belinda Ellsworth. I learned that<br />
most objections in this business are brought on by individuals’ fear of failing. So, you need to<br />
prepare what you can say to ease their fears. Be ready and able to answer their questions and<br />
assure them that their concerns will not be a problem. When I did learn how to assure people<br />
in order to overcome their objections, my booking and recruiting numbers really grew! Being<br />
prepared in advance is the best way to do this well.<br />
Although I still get nervous sometimes, I’ve realized<br />
that all you really need to do is listen and find out the<br />
“real” reason someone is raising this objection. Be caring<br />
by listening to their concerns, ask questions about<br />
those concerns, listen to their answer, acknowledge<br />
that you’ve heard them and offer the suggestions to<br />
overcome their objections. It’s the “Feel, Felt, Found<br />
Method”: “I understand how you feel. I have felt that<br />
same way. And this is what I’ve found.” This is a simple<br />
way for handling objections. See below for scripting<br />
examples of how I use this and other basic methods to<br />
overcome objections when booking and recruiting.<br />
Booking Objections: What do you say<br />
when a potential hostess says,<br />
“i’m not a good hostess.”<br />
Usually they’ve had a bad experience if they say this. I<br />
ask, “What makes you say that?” Ask a question back<br />
and hear the “real” answer! The “real” answer may be,<br />
“No one came to my last show.” Then I can let her know<br />
how this show will be different because <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> is<br />
different. “With <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> there are no presentations<br />
JoNi kNapp<br />
Executive Director III,<br />
San Clemente, CA<br />
ABOUT THE EXPERT<br />
Joni knapp has been a <strong>Cookie</strong><br />
<strong>Lee</strong> Consultant for eight years and<br />
was previously a dental assistant<br />
for 20 years! She is married to<br />
husband Rick and their son Robert<br />
(19) is a college student. The selfproclaimed,<br />
“Steady Eddie,” has<br />
been on every Dream getaway<br />
Trip since she started with <strong>Cookie</strong><br />
<strong>Lee</strong> and is currently driving a white<br />
Dream Drive-away Mercedes-Benz.<br />
Her proudest honor to date was<br />
being nominated for the Heart-to-<br />
Heart Award at the Fall/Winter 2008<br />
Convention. By next convention Joni<br />
plans to achieve $ 300,000 in Career<br />
Sales, and she’s almost there!<br />
so guests can be social, they take the jewelry away right<br />
from the show and it’s an open house format where<br />
people can come and go. Plus, women love this product,<br />
jewelry makes great gifts, it’s affordable and I offer<br />
deals and raffles!” Simply address their issue and give<br />
reasons why the bad experience they had before is NOT<br />
going to happen with a <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> show! Assure them<br />
you are going to help them have a great experience!<br />
“i’m too busy to host a show.”<br />
This is one of the most common objections I get. But<br />
I let them know that, “Busy people have the most<br />
successful shows!” This is because they know the most<br />
people to invite. Busy people are used to easily adding<br />
one more thing into their schedule. Let them know,<br />
“It’s not going to take much more of your time than<br />
attending a show. Keep snacks simple, and I will do all<br />
the work. All you need to do is get the invitations out.<br />
I will be there, you don’t need to clean the whole house<br />
just the room we are using and a guest bathroom.” Just<br />
assure them that it’s not going to take too much time<br />
and usually this “no” turns into a “yes”.<br />
“My house is too small.”<br />
Sometimes I get this objection because a person is at<br />
a show at a big house. So, I’ll ask, “How big is your<br />
house?” Then I listen to her answer and try to offer<br />
solutions. I’ll let her know that, “Some of the most<br />
fun shows I’ve done have been in small houses because<br />
they are more intimate.” I tell the story of when I had<br />
my jewelry out on an ironing board, but we had sales<br />
and lots of fun! But, if they really feel uncomfortable<br />
with the size of their house, I will offer alternatives<br />
like having an office show, a show at a neighborhood<br />
club house, at a friend’s house and share the hostess<br />
benefits, at a park during kids’ playtime, at restaurant,<br />
morning coffeehouse or a group event like Bunko. It’s
easier to offer alternatives if you’ve been listening and<br />
getting to know them throughout the show.<br />
“i don’t know anyone around here.”<br />
My response to this objection is, “Hosting a show is a<br />
great way to meet new people! Plus, if you don’t have a lot<br />
in common the jewelry will facilitate the conversation.”<br />
Encourage them to invite their neighbors and coworkers<br />
to “Coffee and Tea with <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong>”. I also mention to<br />
people who make this objection that, “You know more<br />
people then you think you do.” I help them make a list<br />
that includes their neighbors, co-workers or husband’s<br />
co-workers, neighbors’ friends and co-workers, church<br />
members, kids’ friends’ parents…just jog their memory!<br />
Recruiting Objections: What do you<br />
say when a potential Consultant says,<br />
“i don’t have the money right now.”<br />
I recommend that my potential Consultants start taking<br />
catalog orders over the next one to two weeks. That is<br />
the best way to make the money for their initial order.<br />
The $ 99 Kit is a great tool to use in this case as it will set<br />
her up with everything she needs to take these orders. If<br />
possible, I also offer to do a kick-off show for them and<br />
I mention the programs like QuickStart and incentives<br />
that will help them make their initial investment back<br />
right away!<br />
“i need to run this past my husband.”<br />
When they say this I always say, “I can respect that. I<br />
did the same thing.” Then I ask, “What do you think his<br />
questions are going to be, so I can help you answer them<br />
for him.” I also let them know that, “My husband was<br />
skeptical too until he saw the earning potential. If you<br />
would like your husband to call my husband we could<br />
definitely arrange a call?” Then I give a <strong>Cookie</strong> Connection<br />
magazine so they can show their husband the Success<br />
in Numbers page which has proved to yield successful<br />
recruiting results.<br />
“i don’t have the time.”<br />
I explain that, “The beauty of <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> is that you can<br />
work it alongside your life.” You can do a ‘Show on the<br />
Go’ just by carrying your Tote Bag or Jewelry Portfolio<br />
(Item #N0802, available through Successorize). Since<br />
you wear your product on your body it’s so easy to work<br />
your business into your life. You make the decision how<br />
far you’ll take it. But, busy people like you really make the<br />
best Consultants because you know lots of people, you’re<br />
out and about, and you know how to get things done! I’m<br />
sure the people that you have supported with your time<br />
would love the opportunity to support you in return.”<br />
Upsell Objections: What do you say<br />
when a customers says,<br />
“i don’t wear a lot of jewelry.”<br />
Identify with their objection. I speak from the heart<br />
and let them know, “I know how you feel, I didn’t wear<br />
a lot of jewelry before I joined <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> either, partly<br />
because I felt that I couldn’t afford it. But what I have<br />
found is that with <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> you can try a new style so<br />
affordably, like a $ 20 pair of hoops.” I have had customers<br />
like you who had this objection and then took a chance<br />
and realized how fun it was to try something new and<br />
came back for more and more versatile pieces. They get<br />
hooked and some are Consultants now.<br />
“i’m on a budget.”<br />
This objection is the perfect opportunity to suggest,<br />
“Then why don’t you host a show and earn FREE jewelry?”<br />
Sometimes at my shows, I tell guests my “I” story that<br />
at my first <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> show I wanted everything, but I<br />
could only buy two gifts because I was on a budget and<br />
that is one of the reasons I became a Consultant. You<br />
could turn that guest into a hostess and then into a new<br />
Consultant. Hosting a show is a great way to share the<br />
opportunity with a potential recruit!<br />
“I only wear fine jewelry.”<br />
I explain that, “The fun part of <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> jewelry is<br />
that you can mix and match it with your fine jewelry and<br />
no one can tell the difference! Also, if you are traveling<br />
and don’t want to risk bringing your fine jewelry you<br />
can achieve the same look for less with <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong>.”<br />
If they just don’t want fashion jewelry then remind<br />
that person that, “<strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> jewelry makes for great<br />
affordable gifts!”<br />
Try This at Home<br />
Now, it’s all about practicing. Role playing with objections<br />
at Unit Meetings is extremely helpful. Just write up<br />
some of these or other common objections onto pieces<br />
of paper and then divide your Unit Meeting into small<br />
groups. Hand out the objections and send your groups<br />
to different corners of the house to go through their<br />
objection and come up with some possible scripting.<br />
Then have each group present their objection and<br />
responses to it with the group. As a group, you can add<br />
to each answer and help everyone with additional ideas!<br />
I think when you teach something you learn it! For more<br />

how to<br />
Grow Your <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong><br />
Business into Your ONLY Job<br />
When I signed up with <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> I was waitressing 30 hours a week on weeknights and weekends<br />
at an Italian restaurant in Maine. I was also a mother trying to stay home with my two baby boys,<br />
Brady was two at the time and Grant was ten months. The waitressing job was difficult to fit into<br />
my life because my husband had to leave work early in order for me to leave for the restaurant<br />
a half hour away. I was never home for dinner, I got home at ten p.m. or later each night and I<br />
couldn’t afford a sitter. I wanted something more!<br />
Working an Inflexible Job<br />
It was always my goal to leave that job so I could do<br />
something I was passionate about and have more<br />
flexibility to be home with my boys. The restaurant<br />
job was just a means to an end. Before I had kids, I had<br />
traveled around the world, graduated college and worked<br />
in marketing with a horrible commute. After having my<br />
boys, I still wanted a career I just didn’t know what I<br />
wanted to do but I knew it had to be flexible. Not only<br />
was the restaurant job something I was not passionate<br />
about, I realized you can only make so much money in a<br />
night, it was mundane, it was physically demanding and<br />
someone else was making my schedule.<br />
Seeing the Opportunity<br />
When I signed up for <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> I didn’t know what to<br />
expect. My cousin Executive Director II Cindy Brooks<br />
sent me the catalog and it took me two months to call<br />
and say, “I want to do this!” I joined in November 2007<br />
and thought about making <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> a part time<br />
career until I read the March 2007 <strong>Cookie</strong> Connection<br />
with Katherine Chrisman and saw the kind of money<br />
top leaders were making. Then, I started thinking big<br />
and thought if they can do this I can too!<br />

ABOUT THE EXPERT<br />
Executive Director I Tara Johnson<br />
is currently <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong>’s 3rd Place<br />
Rising Star and achieved a National<br />
President’s Recruiting Award at<br />
<strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong>’s annual convention<br />
in 2008. Within her first year, she<br />
achieved QuickStart and JumpStart<br />
which earned her both the Pink<br />
and Purple CZ rings and two Starlet<br />
glam bracelets. She was also able<br />
to earn the Dream getaway Trip for<br />
her and her husband! She currently<br />
has approximately 70 people in her<br />
Downline and balances it all with<br />
being the mother of two to grant<br />
(2) and Brady (3) with supportive<br />
husband kevin.<br />
Finding the Need<br />
At this time there were also financial worries in my<br />
personal life. My husband Kevin is part owner of a<br />
company that was struggling and we were worried<br />
that we would lose all the money we had invested. The<br />
thought of that was paralyzing. Even when Kevin came<br />
home with this news, I knew there was not a possibility<br />
for me to work full-time job and leave my children. I<br />
thought I had to do something to contribute to our<br />
family’s financial situation. It was within that week<br />
that I signed up with <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong>.<br />
Experiencing a Quick Transition<br />
I started asking for fewer nights on the restaurant<br />
schedule and after only four months into <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong><br />
I told my restaurant manager that I would like to take<br />
a little break and focus on doing shows. I was worried<br />
that my new jewelry business was too good to be true,<br />
and I would have to go back to what I was doing before.<br />
But I never needed to go back, and I haven’t gone back<br />
since February 2007! Now, instead of waiting on people<br />
they are waiting on me!<br />
Wanting to QuickStart<br />
When I signed up, I hit the ground running. I recruited<br />
my first Consultant from my mom’s office show before<br />
the end of November. I followed the QuickStart Guide<br />
to Early Success and was able to achieve it in my first<br />
three months. By the time I quit the restaurant, I was<br />
a Unit Manager II. I don’t know if it was the title that<br />
made a difference in how quickly I was able to leave my<br />
former job or just how fast my business was growing.<br />
I felt confident in my momentum and motivation to<br />
succeed and those factors made me feel like I could leave<br />
my other job. I had come to realize that in two nights of<br />
doing shows and sharing the <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> opportunity, I<br />
could make the same amount of money as four nights at<br />
the restaurant.
Building A Downline<br />
Sharing this opportunity and growing a Downline<br />
are essential to make this business your full-time job.<br />
I couldn’t have quit my other job if I wasn’t recruiting,<br />
helping my team grow and earning commission income.<br />
The amount I can do alone is limited but what I can do<br />
through my Downline is infinite! Initially, recruiting<br />
seemed scary to me. But, it’s simply all about loving what<br />
you do and sharing it with others. You don’t have to be<br />
a seasoned Consultant to recruit. You may even have an<br />
upper hand when you are new and excited. People want<br />
to know what is making you so happy. Reach out of your<br />
comfort zone. The risk will pay off. In less than a year, I am<br />
now a leader to 70 encouraging and supportive women!<br />
Setting Goals<br />
You need to know what you want, write it down and<br />
revisit it. If you are constantly looking at your goals,<br />
you’ll remember to take the steps that you need to<br />
get there. Each month I make sure I have at least two<br />
shows a week and I always try to get two bookings from<br />
those shows and tell two people about the business<br />
opportunity weekly. I recommend knowing how much<br />
money you need to make in order to afford to leave your<br />
current job. Then figure out how many shows you need<br />
to book to make half of that and how many people you<br />
need on your team to make up the other half.<br />
Planning an Exit<br />
Before I left my other job, I had to believe in myself and<br />
know I was capable of being successful. I needed to see<br />
that my <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> income was the same or better than<br />
my current job. I had to see that my calendar was full<br />
for two shows a week (or more) for at least a month<br />
or two in advance. If I saw an opening on my calendar,<br />
that was the first date I booked. I offered an incentive<br />
to hostesses to fill those dates. On my business card, I<br />
mentioned a free gift if they booked one of those dates<br />
I labeled with a star and I put those cards on my Booking<br />
Tree. I was really pleased when I booked two shows a<br />
week. But I was bummed when some got rescheduled.<br />
So, I learned to over-book but not double book. Most<br />
often I just book twice as many shows as what I actually<br />
want. And if I need to, I’m not afraid to schedule two<br />
shows on a Saturday or Sunday (one in the afternoon<br />
and one in the evening).<br />
Promoting at Work<br />
When I was still working at the restaurant, I sold a<br />
few pieces to the women I worked with. I invited all of<br />
them to my kick-off show and that helped with getting<br />
bookings. I also invited the women who work with my<br />
husband. I invited as many work contacts as possible to<br />
that show to help me fill up my calendar to meet my goal<br />
in order to start out full time with <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong>. Working<br />
at the beginning was actually helpful to setting up my<br />
business and enabling me to quit my other job. My coworkers<br />
became my customers and hostesses, and were<br />
great for referrals!<br />
Finding Time Daily<br />
Organize your calendar to make time wherever you can<br />
find it. Carve out time for your business on your lunch<br />
break, after work, while you’re driving, waiting to pick<br />
up your kids, during sports games, kids’ nap time or any<br />
other time during day–to-day life. Keep your business<br />
top of mind by wearing your jewelry and carrying your<br />
Tote Bag everywhere you go every day. The more jewelry<br />
you wear the more compliments you’ll get and the more<br />
chances you’ll have to talk about your business.<br />
Taking Advantage of Tools<br />
There are several tools I used to turn <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> into my<br />
full-time career. First of all, I use the CLICK online tools<br />
to stay organized and keep in touch with my contacts.<br />
With the help of a friend, I set up a spreadsheet to<br />
record my <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> sales, costs, taxes, expenditures,<br />
receipts and purchases. If you start organized from the<br />
beginning it is so much easier than trying to figure it<br />
out later! I made sure I had <strong>Cookie</strong> sisters that I could<br />
trade jewelry with when I needed to. I learned priceless<br />
tips from leaders like Executive Director II Cindy Brooks<br />
and Senior Executive Director Michelle Johnson who<br />
told me to monitor my inventory closely, never buy<br />
more than what I think I can sell and buy inventory<br />
based on how many shows I have booked. At shows, I<br />
use the Hostess and Customer Specials to increase my<br />
sales and bookings. All of these practices helped in my<br />
success and still work for me today!<br />
Enjoying the Benefits of ONLY Working<br />
<strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong><br />
If I had NOT found <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> I would still have to<br />
be working as a waitress. The benefits of being able to<br />
work only my <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> business include fulfillment,<br />
empowerment, extra income, staying home with my<br />
boys and being able to afford a sitter for date nights<br />
with my husband and outings with friends. I am so<br />
proud and happy about what has become my career. I<br />
love telling other people what I do for a living. Compared<br />
to waitressing, the money is better, it takes less time<br />
to earn more money, there are more perks with this<br />
company, I get to wear beautiful jewelry, earn luxury<br />
vacations for me and my husband, receive recognition,<br />
make new friends and my next goal is to earn a Dream<br />
Drive-away Mercedes-Benz. This is better than any job<br />
I could have imagined, and I get to call it work! In this<br />
business you truly get back what you put in!<br />

How you stay a<br />
“Jewelry expert” each season!<br />
I’m subscribed to Tiffany & Co., Nordstrom, Macy’s, Spiegel and Victoria’s Secret emails.<br />
This way, when I receive email blasts regarding their jewelry sales or new items, I print<br />
them out and share them with my hostesses and guests at shows. They can then see for<br />
themselves how “in the now” <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> is with current fashion trends at incredibly<br />
low and affordable prices that fit everyone’s budget!<br />
weNdie Madrid, Unit Manager II, Mission Viejo, California<br />
I purchase fashion magazines like Bazaar, In Style,<br />
Glamour and People Style Watch. I read through,<br />
making mental notes of the upcoming trends. Then<br />
when <strong>Cookie</strong> comes out with something similar,<br />
I cut out the magazine pages and set them in my jewelry<br />
trays next to the matching jewelry. Customers always want to<br />
accessorize like the pages of fashion magazines.<br />
BoNNie oroNa Executive Director I • Harbor City, California<br />
While at my shows, I try to ask women in three<br />
different age groups what their favorites are, and<br />
what are their likes and dislikes. I especially like to<br />
talk to the younger girls. They give me the best ideas<br />
on tips, trends and their style.<br />
teri BriLLHart Director • Duarte, California<br />
Staying informed of the latest jewelry trends<br />
helps me upsell. I consistently review the <strong>Cookie</strong><br />
Connection to see the <strong>Cookie</strong> Tips, visit the local<br />
showroom to view jewelry tips on display and attend<br />
Fashion Week to see the <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> models on the runway.<br />
aNa FraNkLiN Executive Director II • Hawthorne, California<br />
I watch my girl friends! I have five of the most<br />
fashion forward and trendy friends, from the hair<br />
to the shoes. I ask my friends what they think about<br />
the jewelry and which items will sell the best—they<br />
are brutally honest! My friends and my love for fashion are<br />
what keep my business alive.<br />
eBoNNe LawreNCe Consultant • York, Pennsylvania<br />
attending convention has helped me grow into<br />
the jewelry expert I am today. In addition to all the<br />
wonderful training sessions, we get to feel and try<br />
on ALL the new jewelry. Plus, just looking around<br />
at all the creative ways and combinations that fellow <strong>Cookie</strong><br />
sisters wore was bonus training!<br />
JeNN SMytHe Senior Consultant • Honolulu, Hawaii<br />
Every time a new catalog comes out, I look at our<br />
competitors’ catalogs to see what styles they are<br />
showing so I can share with customers how <strong>Cookie</strong><br />
is right-on with the fashion trends and makes a<br />
better quality piece of jewelry compared to all others! This is a<br />
huge plus when comparing the different looks!<br />
LiSHa pLatta Unit Manager II • Corona, California<br />
Compliments give me insights into the preferences<br />
of family, friends, co-workers and the many other<br />
people I come into contact with throughout my<br />
daily activities. I mentally make a note of feedback<br />
for future encounters so I will have extra jewelry that appeals<br />
to the people who complimented my jewelry.<br />
LorraiNe CHaMBerS Consultant • Costa Mesa, California<br />
Each season when <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> releases her new<br />
jewelry, I surf websites with fashion jewelry like<br />
Nordstrom, Dillard’s and Saks Fifth Avenue. Then<br />
I make a jewelry trend scrapbook to show my<br />
customers the similarities of <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> jewelry with celebrity<br />
and high-end department store jewelry. I show that <strong>Cookie</strong><br />
<strong>Lee</strong>’s jewelry is just as stylish, but much more affordable.<br />
Carrie Beaird Unit Manager II • Jefferson, georgia<br />
Just listening to my clients and being a people<br />
watcher has helped me over the years. It may<br />
sound simple, but trends are happening right under<br />
our noses. By taking a step back and watching how<br />
women are wearing their clothes, cutting their hair and<br />
accessorizing, I find it simple to fit each and every piece of<br />
<strong>Cookie</strong>’s jewelry into every day!<br />
Maria CuNNiNG Executive Director III • Vacaville, California
success stories<br />
John Lin is a Celebrity<br />
Today was an awesome day! I was in the hair supply store with my two little girls when my<br />
cell phone rang. I answered it. It was CEO John Lin. I was so shocked! I felt like Tom Cruise<br />
was calling me. I was totally freaking out! John told me what a good job I was doing and<br />
congratulated me on achieving Unit Manager II. I was thinking, “Is this for real? Is John<br />
Lin really calling me?” I was so excited after I talked to him that I called all my <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong><br />
friends, my husband, my mother-in-law and well you get the idea. I felt so special. This<br />
company is so genuine and loving. They treat us like family, and I love that about this<br />
business. I couldn’t be happier working with any other company on earth! I will never<br />
forget that day. I felt like a million bucks!<br />
deaNNa GiBSoN<br />
Unit Manager II • Castle Rock, Colorado<br />
Fulfilling a Wish<br />
My mother passed away in October 2006 from pancreatic cancer. She was able to have<br />
surgery to give her one more quality year of life to be with us. She had a wonderful doctor<br />
in Pittsburgh who is leading the research at the David Koch Research Center to increase<br />
the odds of survival from this most lethal cancer. My mother’s wish for us, her family,<br />
was to raise money to help her doctor’s research. My daughter told me about this terrific<br />
<strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> show she was invited to and how much she liked the jewelry. I looked into it<br />
and decided that <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> was a good thing for me. I now sell <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> and donate<br />
ALL the profits to my newly formed non-profit organization Mellie’s Mission. Selling the<br />
jewelry has helped me with all the start-up costs. It is catching on, too! Now people are<br />
gladly giving me catalog orders and booking shows to support our cause!<br />

Consultant • Smithfield, Pennsylvania<br />
A Symbol of Peace<br />
I am a registered nurse and work for a local hospice. I am also dating a wonderful man,<br />
Mark, who works as a nurse for the same hospice. I was looking through <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong>’s<br />
Fall/Winter 2008 Catalog while visiting my boyfriend at his home. I looked at item<br />
#25810 on page 39, the Spirit of Peace Cross slider necklace. Since the dove is a symbol<br />
of hospice, I said, “Look Mark, it’s a hospice necklace.” Mark agreed and asked me to<br />
order 10 necklaces so we could gift them to the other hospice nurses. When Mark took<br />
the necklaces to the office, everyone agreed that they would be the symbol of our often<br />
difficult work. It was decided that our chaplain would bless them and present one to each<br />
of the nurses. I shared this story with my Upline over the telephone. She was moved to<br />
tears as she remembered the help she received from hospice when her mother was ill. We<br />
just never know how we can touch the lives of others in a special way.<br />

Sell What You’re Wearing<br />
I stopped by my customer’s office to visit her. She loved the whole <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> set that I<br />
had on and ended up ordering $ 280 worth of jewelry! I dropped off her order today and<br />
gave her a Recruiting Packet which she signed right then and faxed in. Don’t you just love<br />
this business!<br />

ask nyra<br />
Dear Nyra,<br />
How can I find new business? I’ve run out of<br />
friends and family. Are there any special ways<br />
to meet new people?<br />
Dear Pamela!<br />
You are not alone! Consultants often run out of<br />
contacts to book new home shows and meet new<br />
customers. Here are a few suggestions on how you<br />
can continually add new customers and hostesses to<br />
your business.<br />
1. F.R.A.N.K. List<br />
Make a “F.R.AN.K.” List of people who you want<br />
to contact to offer our hostess and Consultant<br />
opportunities. F.R.A.N.K. stands for:<br />
F- Friends<br />
R- Relatives<br />
a- Acquaintances<br />
n- Neighbors<br />
K- Kids’ parents<br />
Once you have made your list, keep it handy so you<br />
are always adding new names to these categories.<br />
Begin making phone calls and offer each person the<br />
opportunity to start their own <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> business.<br />
If they are not interested in joining right now, you<br />
can book a home show with them as one of your<br />
hostesses or offer them an opportunity to purchase<br />
from our catalog.<br />
. Referral Program<br />
Whether you are on the phone or out and about,<br />
remember to end every conversation by asking for<br />
referrals. Your conversation may sound like this:<br />
“Mary, do you know anyone who has not heard of<br />
<strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> jewelry or perhaps lost contact with their<br />
Consultant? I have a referral program, and when you<br />
refer me to someone new for my business you can go<br />
—ON THE PROWL PAMELA<br />
NYRA CARRANZA<br />
nyracarranza@cookielee.com<br />
on a shopping spree with me.” Be sure to make a similar<br />
statement at all of your shows. Everyone at your show<br />
knows at least 200 people that they can either directly<br />
or indirectly refer you to!<br />
. Out and About<br />
Before you leave the house, be sure you have at least five<br />
catalogs with you. Put a sticky note on each one. This will<br />
make it handy to exchange information with the person<br />
you’re giving the catalog to. Tell yourself that you, “Can’t<br />
go home until all five catalogs have been given out”! It’s<br />
a fun game to play and will often result in sales and<br />
bookings. Your confidence to talk to strangers and offer<br />
<strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> to them will grow as you see their positive<br />
response to our jewelry. When you’re at a restaurant,<br />
don’t give the hostess your name for a table; instead<br />
tell her “<strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong>” is the name for your reservation.<br />
Then, when she shouts out, “<strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> party of four,”<br />
the whole restaurant will know that <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> is in the<br />
house! You never know, you just might find a few new<br />
customers, hostesses or recruits!<br />
Every day ask yourself this question, “If I were<br />
arrested for being a <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> Consultant, would<br />
there be enough evidence to convict me?” Load your<br />
Tote Bag with jewelry, catalogs and your calendar.<br />
Wear lots of jewelry to show that <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> offers<br />
stylish looks to the women who wear our jewelry and<br />
you’ll never run out of new business!

I joined <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> to generate additional income to help my sister go to college. She<br />
is now enjoying her career as a nurse. I have also been in the health care industry before<br />
becoming a <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> Consultant. <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> has given me the opportunity to develop<br />
my sales business skills which I never thought I’d be good at. I am now more comfortable in<br />
this area and enjoy, not fear, selling our beautiful product. Additionally, through the great<br />
training this company gives us, I have developed my leadership and business skills and have<br />
had the opportunity to implement them right away with my Group and my customers. This<br />
aspect of my experience has truly been rewarding and fulfilling.<br />
CHANTIL RUSSO<br />
Wilton, California<br />
I was a stay-at-home mom, and after three attempts at other direct sales companies I<br />
decided to give direct sales one more shot and try <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong>. I found that the beautiful and<br />
affordable product as well as the convenience of being able to take it with you immediately<br />
helped me be successful. When I started with <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> three years ago, I just wanted some<br />
adult time with other women. But as I started to achieve success and have tons of fun, I<br />
quickly changed my way of thinking! I don’t feel that there is any real “secret” to selling<br />
<strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong>. I think that the women who are successful at this business are the ones who truly<br />
believe in their product, never give up and continue to be pleasantly persistent.<br />

The jewelry is so great that<br />
it pretty much sells itself. But<br />
there are many tips that can help<br />
increase sales. For example, I<br />
find that lighting enhances the<br />
attractiveness and interest in the<br />
jewelry. It is also important to<br />
be organized and show potential<br />
buyers how enthusiastic you are<br />
about the items. It often helps<br />
shoppers to see what multiple<br />
pieces look like together so they<br />
can get a vision for what they<br />
might like to buy.<br />
ROBIN LYNN FISCHETTE<br />
Simi Valley, California<br />
At my shows, merchandising<br />
the jewelry by color, style and<br />
theme helps guests visualize the<br />
possibilities. Then I get busy putting<br />
the jewelry on as many people as I<br />
can. I look at their coloring, discuss<br />
their tastes and show them how<br />
fabulous pieces can complete their<br />
look in a snap! I share as many<br />
features as I can to make each piece<br />
special. Increase your show sales by<br />
having your guests touch and wear<br />
the jewelry!<br />

This business is so simple;<br />
we sometimes make it more<br />
complicated than it needs to be.<br />
Just sell jewelry and have fun<br />
doing it! This is a fresh, exciting<br />
and innovative company that isn’t<br />
limited to a home show. I love the<br />
extra income I am able to make<br />
and the fabulous new ladies I now<br />
know. I’ve enjoyed meeting people<br />
at my shows and working with my<br />
team. Hearing their success stories<br />
and the excitement in their voices<br />
makes me love being a leader!<br />
All the acknowledgement<br />
that we get from <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong>, CEO<br />
John Lin, corporate staff and our<br />
Uplines motivates me to succeed<br />
in this business. With <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong>,<br />
anything is possible! My initial<br />
<strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> goal was just to make<br />
extra money. But now as a leader, I<br />
enjoy being able to help all my girls<br />
succeed with their businesses. I also<br />
have fun meeting all my customers<br />
and talking to everyone about my<br />
exciting <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> business.<br />
I can honestly say that I have<br />
been truly blessed with an amazing<br />
team. After almost two years in this<br />
business, their drive and motivation<br />
for their own businesses has allowed<br />
me to achieve my promotion.<br />
Also, monthly team meetings,<br />
weekly phone calls to my mentor<br />
Executive Director II Chantil Russo<br />
and maintaining a personal goal<br />
of doing at least one thing for my<br />

One factor that I think was<br />
HUGE in my success was starting<br />
this business with a start-up buddy,<br />
my sister Executive Director II<br />
Christina Andreas. We called each<br />
other every night, planning and<br />
strategizing about how we were<br />
going to earn the 2005 Hawaii<br />
Dream Getaway Trip. Then my next<br />
goal was to become an Executive<br />
Director and stay home with my<br />
children. And now, here I am, an<br />
Executive Director and stay-athome<br />
mom!<br />
I wanted self growth and the<br />
ability to meet new people, form<br />
friendships, have more time for<br />
myself and learn new things. I also<br />
wanted to earn my own money to<br />
do projects around the house. I<br />
always have fun with <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong>.<br />
So it doesn’t seem like “work” to<br />
me. I have fun empowering other<br />
women. When women on my<br />
team succeed it is rewarding for<br />
me, too. I am always enthusiastic<br />
about our business!<br />
Attending my first convention<br />
in 2006 was the biggest motivator<br />
that I have experienced. My goal<br />
the next year was to bring some of<br />
my team with me. Now that I’m an<br />
Executive Director I, I’ve achieved<br />
my most recent goal which was<br />
to get one of the chairs up front<br />
with the leaders at convention. My<br />
other big motivator is earning this<br />
great extra income. Becoming an<br />
ED I has increased my commission<br />
significantly! Plus, the $ 2,000 ED I<br />
Bonus check is awesome!

The aspect of leadership that I<br />

practice we share it because together<br />
we can, and will, be successful.<br />

The best part of this business for<br />

I decided to stick with it when I<br />
formed friendships with other<br />

up becoming a wonderful and<br />
supportive circle of friends. The<br />
best part of this business is knowing<br />
that the sky is the limit!<br />
The advice I give to others is<br />
to, “stay focused and driven and<br />
your efforts in this business will<br />
lead to prosperity!” Also, always<br />
let your hostesses and customers<br />
know that you are having fun<br />
doing your business and making<br />
extra income at the same time.<br />
This will be the most fun job you<br />
have ever had with unlimited<br />
earning potential!<br />
One of my favorite parts of<br />
this business is sharing stories<br />

lunch with a team member or at<br />
convention with thousands! No<br />
matter what background or age,<br />
we all share a love for <strong>Cookie</strong><br />

buy clothes to match my jewelry. I<br />
also wear my jewelry every day as<br />

your accomplishments, then let me<br />
show you a way to do it all!”<br />
Stay true to your business<br />

approached to sign on to other direct<br />

have been married for 35 years. I<br />
stay true to my successes and my<br />

while having fun? I have gained such a great<br />
new part of my “family”. It’s amazing how<br />
many wonderful people this business helps<br />
you meet and connect with!<br />
SHARON LUkE<br />
glen Burnie, Maryland<br />
Presentation is everything. I’ve learned<br />
that having the proper merchandising<br />
materials allows me to set up an attractive<br />
display quickly, which gets people excited<br />
about the jewelry. Then after setting up, the<br />
jewelry sells itself!<br />
CECILIA MACIAS<br />
San Lorenzo, California<br />
I love the monthly Hostess and Customer<br />
Specials! I present these pieces at all my shows<br />
and my customers “oohh” and “ahhh” over<br />
them. I am also a VIP Insider, and I just love<br />
the jewelry from <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong>. My hostesses<br />
and customers just love it, too!<br />
JOELLEN MARTIN<br />
East Berlin, Pennsylvania<br />
The QuickStart program was a huge help<br />
in getting started. It motivated me to reach<br />
the goals and earn all the wonderful free<br />
jewelry and business tools. <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> is a<br />
great company to work for with no quarterly<br />
minimums, and the 50% gross profit is great<br />
for earning extra money!<br />
JANET MAST<br />
Curtis Bay, Maryland<br />
I have a pretty full life, but <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong><br />
has brought so many wonderful women<br />
into it that have become my new friends.<br />
My husband and children are my motivation<br />
to succeed in this business, and they are so<br />
supportive of me and my new adventures<br />
with <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong>.<br />

SALLY MCgRAIN<br />
Timonium, Maryland<br />
I asked everyone I knew to please have a<br />
show. Whenever someone would compliment<br />
me on my jewelry, I would say, “Have a show<br />
and earn this for FREE!” I also offer, “Bring a<br />
friend and receive one item at 50% off”. This<br />
has been a great way to increase attendance<br />
and sales at any show!<br />
BRANDI NICOLA NAJM<br />
Aliso Viejo, California<br />
I feel a certain sense of success like never<br />
before. <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> has made me a more<br />
confident woman; knowing I can run a<br />
business and still be a wife and mom to my<br />
family. My success will never be determined<br />
by money. For me, it’s about the time I get to<br />
spend with my family.<br />
MARIE ANgELIQUE NELSON<br />
San Diego, California<br />
This is a wonderful company. So, if a<br />
potential recruit looks like they can sell,<br />
I tell them that they would be fabulous<br />
at this. Most times they say, “yes” to the<br />
opportunity! Having a goal with my business<br />
and in life, and having something to achieve<br />
motivates me.<br />
IRENE ODOM<br />
Sun City, California<br />
I used to work all the time and had no social<br />
life. Now I work AND have a social life at the<br />
same time! My Upline, Executive Director III<br />
Linda Hurley, has always been there for me<br />
saying, “Always be the best you can be and<br />
don’t compare yourself with anyone else.” That<br />
gave me the courage to never give up.<br />
RANELLE PADILLA<br />
Hollister, California<br />
My <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> business has allowed<br />
me to attend San Jose State college full<br />
time while I complete my Bachelor’s Degree<br />
in teaching. The company and my Upline<br />
both motivate me to be successful by<br />
making me feel special and rewarding my<br />
accomplishments!<br />
IDALIA PADRON<br />
Edinburg, Texas<br />
I decided to join <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> when I read<br />
Empowering Women magazine. Women can<br />
be good mothers and wives and still have<br />
a career that they can be proud of without<br />
compromising their responsibilities at home.<br />
When I wear the jewelry I feel rejuvenated,<br />
young, glamorous and empowered!<br />
JULES PARITI<br />
Medford, New York<br />
Demonstrating the different ways to wear<br />
an item, layering a look, suggesting matching<br />
items and using my hostess as a model have<br />
all helped with my shows sales. I attended<br />
Executive Director II Connie Allred’s sales<br />
training at convention and she told us that<br />
she offers free gift wrapping and shipping, so<br />
I do that now and guests love it!<br />
MIA REDD<br />
Palmdale, California<br />
I’m so excited about <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> that<br />
it just seems to be contagious! I started the<br />
QuickStart program right away and talked to<br />
everyone about <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong>. The majority of<br />
ladies who hosted shows eventually signed<br />
up as Consultants, too!<br />
SHERRIE ROBERTS<br />
Chesterfield, Virginia<br />
I never thought I would have my own direct<br />
sales business, but I had never found the right<br />
one for me. This business is easy and fun, and<br />
the company just keeps getting better! With<br />
the incentives and generous Career Path, I<br />
know I can achieve my goals.<br />
CHARA ROBINSON<br />
Richmond, Virginia<br />
After living in South Carolina for eight<br />
years we moved to Virginia. <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> has<br />
forced me to get out, meet new people and do<br />
social activities that I might not have tried.<br />
As a stay-at-home mom, I also use <strong>Cookie</strong><br />
<strong>Lee</strong> to pay for fun classes and activities for<br />
my son and I to do during the day.
gRACIE RUBIO<br />
Seaside, California<br />
Having been in another direct sales<br />
company years ago, I was immediately drawn<br />
to the beauty and affordability of <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong>’s<br />
jewelry, no presentation and the 50% gross<br />
profit! I recognized the amazing opportunity<br />
right away. And the ability to raise funds for<br />
non-profits in my area is an extra perk.<br />
AMY RUESkEN<br />
Crown Point, Indiana<br />
I believe that success is in the palm of<br />
your own hands. I love the fabulous jewelry,<br />
the friendships I have made and the fun I<br />
have doing shows. I will be forever grateful<br />
to Executive Director I Deanne Hilvert for<br />
introducing me to <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> jewelry.<br />
DEBBIE RUSSELL<br />
York, Pennsylvania<br />
I tell potential Consultants that they can<br />
have one show or 20 shows a month, it is up<br />
to them. I ask, “Wouldn’t it be nice to pay a<br />
bill or two every month and have FUN doing<br />
it?” Who doesn’t need an extra $ 200– $ 300 a<br />
month? <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> has given me something<br />
I can own, and it’s up to me to succeed.<br />
LISA SINgER<br />
Studio City, California<br />
Attending my first convention was more<br />
inspiring than I could have imagined. I came<br />
back more motivated than ever, and all my<br />
friends were able to sense that something was<br />
different with me. My newfound excitement<br />
for <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> attracted more business and<br />
more importantly new friendships.<br />
JOANN SMITH<br />
kirkland, Washington<br />
Asking for help from my friends and<br />
family has helped my success. Don’t be afraid<br />
to ask for help! Women love to help other<br />
women. Be honest, don’t just let them know<br />
what is in it for them, but tell them what is<br />
in it for you as well. Show your excitement<br />
and let it infect those around you.<br />

To see other women who started just like<br />

I can do this business, too! I can stay home<br />
with my kids and look flashier than ever. My<br />

Needless to say, the past year has been<br />

CINDY STEMPLE<br />

As a teacher with two grown daughters,<br />

will be going there to celebrate our 33rd<br />
anniversary. I still can’t believe it!<br />
INgRID STUBBS<br />

My passion for the jewelry and working<br />
for a great company helps me to be successful.<br />
When I went to convention, I saw a company<br />
that appreciates you and celebrates your<br />
success, which is something I had never<br />
received at other jobs.<br />
LARISSA TAYLOR<br />

I have two sisters in this business with<br />
me, Executive Director II Lisa Perkins and<br />

California, for convention and having that<br />

My daughter and I are partners in this<br />

give you are blessed”, and it has proven to be<br />
correct. We always go the extra mile for our<br />

ESMERALDA TORRES<br />

My husband recently lost his job, and I had<br />
to find a second job. <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> was my best<br />
option because it’s easy to make money with<br />
the beautiful jewelry and flexible hours. My<br />
8-year-old princess helps me with my <strong>Cookie</strong><br />
<strong>Lee</strong> business; helping me carry and display my<br />
jewelry for home shows<br />
TANYA TRIPP<br />
Brown Summit, North Carolina<br />
I thought <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> was like the other<br />
direct sales businesses until CEO John Lin<br />
called me by name, gave me a hug and said,<br />
“thank you”. That blew my mind and really<br />
made me feel special. Since joining <strong>Cookie</strong><br />
<strong>Lee</strong>, I have more time to spend with my family<br />
and more money, too!<br />
MARILYN VALEROZO<br />

Joining <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> has helped me<br />
overcome my shyness, and I have made<br />
new <strong>Cookie</strong> friends that have given me<br />
self-confidence. I know that if I just open<br />
my mouth and ask everyone I know about<br />
<strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> I will me successful because the<br />
jewelry sells itself.<br />
CHRIS VEkONY<br />

The phone call I received from CEO John<br />
Lin for my Unit Manager II promotion showed<br />
me that this company really cares about us.<br />
With well over 100,000 Consultants, he took<br />
the time to call me on a Saturday to thank me<br />
for my hard work and dedication. I’ve never<br />
had another employer do that!<br />
COYLINDA WALL<br />

easy to be a <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> Consultant. Also, the<br />
training is excellent and readily available. I<br />
am excited to share the fun and beauty of<br />
my <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> business.<br />
ALFREADA WALLACE<br />

When I first started this business I set<br />
short-term and long-term goals for myself. As<br />
I reach each goal, it is such a rewarding feeling<br />
for me to see what I can do if I just stay focused<br />
and believe in myself and this business.<br />
NARDA WEBER<br />

Using the Hostess and Customer Specials<br />
and being aware of a customer’s style<br />

do this!”<br />
CARLOTTA WHEELER<br />

I am very blessed in that I play music for<br />
part of my living. So, I’m always around people<br />

to not only make extra income, but to work<br />
with other women who are striving for a lot<br />
of the same goals that I have.<br />
NATALIE WIDOMSkI<br />

My enthusiasm for the jewelry and my<br />

LAURI WRIgHT<br />

I use the Jewelry Portfolio as my 50%-off<br />
bag. If a customer spends over $ 50, they get<br />
to select two items out of the bag for half off.<br />
If they spend over $ 100, they get five items<br />
out of the bag for half off. It’s like a feeding<br />
frenzy when I pull out the portfolio. They<br />
want to be the first to see the jewelry!<br />

Spring/Summer 2009 brings NEW Training for all <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong>Consultants<br />
and leaders! This year <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> is launching the all NEW Consultant<br />
Basics and Leader Basics training programs!<br />
NEW! Consultant Basics<br />
<strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong>’s new Consultant Basics will replace what<br />
was previously known as New Consultant Training<br />
(NCT). Whereas New Consultant Training was directed<br />
to new Consultants only, the Consultant Basics program<br />
will provide the basic skills needed by Consultants and<br />
leaders at all levels. The 6 Skills of the Selling Cycle is being<br />
replaced with Consultant Basics. Product Knowledge,<br />
which was one of <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong>’s personal requests, has<br />
been added. Here is a list of our updated Consultant<br />
Basics training: 1) Contacts and Referrals; 2) Booking;<br />
3) Hostess Coaching; 4) The Home Show; 5) Follow-up;<br />
6) Recruiting, and 7) Product Knowledge. This exciting<br />
new training series will provide tips and direction on the<br />
basic fundamentals of our business. And, the best part<br />
is that Consultant Basics will be trained by leaders in<br />
their own areas as they see the need or hear the request<br />
from their Group. No longer will you have to wait for<br />
someone to come in to train, and no longer will there be a<br />
minimum attendance required to schedule the training.<br />
A leader can now present Consultant Basics training<br />
around her kitchen table, living room, in a restaurant<br />
or meeting room depending on the size of the group.<br />
Please note: NCT Online will continue to be available to<br />
all new Consultants in 2009 and will slowly evolve into<br />
Consultant Basics Online by the end of 2009.<br />
09<br />
NEW! Leader Basics<br />
Our other new training program is Leader Basics, which<br />
will take the place of Emerging Leadership Training.<br />
This program will be taught by leaders to meet the needs<br />
of both established and emerging leaders. Leader Basics<br />
will consist of 7 leader basic fundamentals: 1) Incentives<br />
and Recognition; 2) Effective Unit Meetings; 3) Career<br />
Path Reports; 4) Time Management; 5) Business<br />
Opportunity Meetings; 6) Identifying and Promoting<br />
Leaders, and 7) Coaching Skills.<br />
GREAT! 2nd Saturday Training<br />
<strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> will still be presenting our successful 2nd<br />
Saturday Training (SST) series! Held the second Saturday<br />

to train and mentor your new Consultants, and increase<br />
bookings, sales and recruits at your home shows. Plus,<br />

and become a “jewelry expert”! SST will also continue to<br />
be offered online as a live recording, go to www.cookielee.<br />
