Hello Advisors, please see this video message from Alison.

There was a printing error that led to the 12-inch Trimmer's 4x5 guide to be mis-labeled as 4x4. All measurements on the trimmer are accurate, and the tool functions as intended. In keeping with our commitment to quality, beginning April 6th, a corrective label will be included with all purchases of the item. If you purchased the 12-inch Trimmer this label will be shipped to you in early April, with no action needed from you.


Facebook Down - Join the CM Collective

We’re currently unable to approve posts due to a Facebook issue we are not able to solve without their assistance (which can be impossible to get). We encourage you to use the CM Collective to post, connect and access all your tools in one place.

START ON DESKTOP: We highly recommend using your desktop to access the CM Collective until you are comfortable with the tool, it is easier to navigate and find what you need from that view. If you’re having trouble logging in, please email Customer Service and we will get you access.


TO SIGN UP: Click HERE!

FIND WHERE TO CHAT: We heard you! We’re making it easier to know where to chat by renaming these groups:

> Chat Business and Events: go to Business Chat - formerly Achievements Planning Group

> Chat Scrapbooking: go to Crop Chat (US +CA) or Crop Chat (AU) - formerly North American Advisor Hub and Australia Advisor Hub

TO POST EVENTS: We would love to see your events that are happening – give posting in the Achievement Planning group in the CM Collective a try! Watch this short video.

We know change can be frustrating, but we’re here to help and once you get comfortable with the CM Collective. We think you will love it as much as we do!

Mark Your Calendar for the 3 April Launch

We’re beyond excited to celebrate our Advisor Escape achievers as they head to Cabo the week of 6 April — what an incredible accomplishment! We can’t wait to share moments from their trip and bring that inspiration back to our entire Advisor community.

Given their timeline, we’d planned for our first April launch the Saturday before their departure. However, to better support you with the new website experience, we’re moving the launch from Saturday, 4 April, to Friday, 3 April, at 4am AEDT. This gives our Customer Service team more time to assist you before the weekend, so you can shop with confidence and ease.

Your sneak peek is right around the corner — look for it in the Advisor Weekly email on Tuesday, 31 March.

Momentum March — Business Challenges

Week 4: Care + Connect

We've been talking a lot about prepping for NSD from an invite POV but do you have a connect plan for AFTER NSD? For those of you who have already held your event, it's time to do follow-ups and for everyone else, take note and implement the week after your event!

Week 4: Care + Connect

  • Follow up with every NSD attendee- ask them what they loved so you can repeat it!
  • Ask for 1 referral from a happy customer- they're coming off a high of fun, let's see who else they want with them next time!
  • Add everyone to your customer care system- long term customer care is the key to a thriving business!

If you don't already use the customer care system we have created just for you, now is the time to check it out! It's in the collective under the Business Organisation Bundle area!
