Pet Consultant of the Month
Profile of Success

Heather U. 

Heather U. (#2406) lives in Avondale, AZ and is a retired Police Officer.  On top of being a Pet Consultant, she owns her own Pet Nanny business. Heather was at a Pet Expo about 2 years ago promoting her business, and the space next to me was Deanna M. #486, a Pet Consultant with Shure Pets.  Heather bought some products from Deanna and chatted with her a bit. Deanna mailed Heather catalogs periodically throughout the next two years. Out of the blue one night, Heather was lying in bed about to go to sleep and thought 'Hey I could sell Shure Pets products.'  She immediately searched the house for the last catalog she had received and finally found it.  Heather called Deanna the next day and signed up as a Pet Consultant.  She started calling family and friends and had my first two parties booked before her kit arrived!

 

Heather says she has had a lot of fun so far meeting new people and their pets.  Heather says, "Sharing the GRReat products Shure Pets offers is rewarding and they practically sell themselves. I just have to get the parties booked!"

 

Heather has a supportive family that tells her she can achieve anything she puts her mind to, and she believes them!  Heather is confident that she is going to achieve success with Shure Pets.  She says that she will continue to gather her pack of Consultants, head out into the field, dig up those bones (parties), and they will claw their way up the Shure Pets ladder of success together! 

 

Thanks Heather!  We look forward to continued success with you!

Dear Pet Lover,
 

Hopefully, each of you has received your tax stimulus check from the US government.  I am optimistic that this money will help "jump start" the economy.  I believe that during these uncertain economic times that each of us must do a better job in protecting our family's future.  Direct selling and party plan businesses generally offer a great opportunity with minimal investment. 

 

At Shure Pets, we are the category innovator and the nation's leading provider of pet products through at-home Pet Parties.  The pet category is growing at an impressive rate, and our relationship with our pets continues to play a larger role in our lives.  If you look around your neighborhood, almost 70% of households have a pet!  We see this dynamic as very encouraging for our business.

 

I would like to personally invite you to participate in the exciting dynamic of the Pet industry and become an independent Pet Consultant with Shure Pets.  This weekend only, we are offering all our New Puppy on The Block Kits for $99.00 and our software for $20.00 for 12 months of active use. (Regular price on the software is $50.00).

 

Our New Puppy on the Block Kit has all the tools for you to start your own business in an area that you understand.  We recently added the following initiatives: 1) We added senior field and sales training personnel to our staff; 2) We developed leadership initiatives including our "Business Builders" program to help those who want to develop a career with Shure Pets; and 3) We increased our compensation plan to reward those that are actively building their business.

 

In closing, I encourage each of you to use your tax stimulus to invest in your own business.  Our programs are designed to help you to reach your goals.

 

Please take advantage of our special this weekend-be your own boss in a profession that you understand and love!

 

I look forward to working with you.

 

Alan Luce

Purr-fect Pet Health Tips
Winnie the Pug
Pet Shampoo vs Human Shampoo
Ever wonder if pet shampoos are worth buying?  Why not just use human shampoos on your pet instead?  Actually human shampoo can be very dangerous for your pet.  Human shampoos use ethyl alcohol for binding a chemical chain to break down oils.  When human shampoos are used on dogs and cats, the shampoo will extract the natural oils needed for a healthy coat.  Ethyl alcohol also will penetrate the skin and find its way into the tissues and bloodstream, which can be fatal for your pet if blood concentrations reach sufficient levels.  It is not required by law that ethyl alcohol be listed on a label, so you cannot guarantee that a human shampoo does not contain it unless they specifically state that it is not used in their product.  Our shampoos have no ethyl alcohol, which can penetrate pet's skin and cause toxicity.  Our pet shampoos have a neutral pH of 7.0, which means they are incredibly gentle.  Human shampoos can range in pH levels, but are generally more acidic, which is another reason why they are bad for use on pets.  Our entire line of pet shampoos are formulated to be gentle and act only on the surface of the skin.  This makes them so safe that they can even be used in pregnant or nursing animals.

"I am so extremely excited about this awesome opportunity!!!!...I just finished my call with Carol on the new consultant training and it was stupendous!!  For all you new consultants out there, you MUST get in on this call.  Carol gives out a ton of informaton and helps you get started down the path.  I've been in other "party" businesses before and on calls as well, but I was really impressed the way Carol gave out the information.  For crying out loud, she practically books the party for you.  It's that easy and simple...I really did enjoy it!!"

"We love your Paramount Shampoo."

-Robert P. (Fort Worth, TX)
 

"I've really wanted to have my own business for a long time, however, being a single working woman, I've found it a bit difficult as "striking out on your own" with most businesses means you need to have a second wage earner at home. This is really a great opportunity for me to have my own business without all the risk of giving up my day job. My sincere thanks to both of you."

-Kim B. (#2476, Corona, CA)
