How to Activate Your Consultant Website, and Why?

Benefits of Becoming a Platinum Q-Club Member

You know those benefits on the back of the Q-Club Flyer under the Platinum membership level?  Have you ever wondered how all those benefits work?  Do you need to understand them better; in order to better explain them at your parties?  Well, I'm going to break those down for you:

1.)  Manage Shipments:  Every Q is able to manage there shipments from www.shelfreliance.com.  A customer just logs into their account using their email address and password.  From there they can edit their Q, manage shipments, change their account settings, and more.

2.)  Gifts:  About every six months that a customer is on the Q, Shelf Reliance will send them a small gift to thank them for being a Q member.  So far, I've received some measuring cups and a strainer, and a really nice SR can opener.  These are always a fun surprise to receive with your Q!

3.)  Exclusive Products:  When a new product comes out, such as the new emergency gear that was just released, our Platinum members are the first ones that are able to purchase these items.  They are not offered to the public for purchase for a few months.  New food items can be added to their Q, but emergency items cannot.  However, they will be able to view these items online and place an order for them, unlike the general public.

4.)  Q-pons:  Below is an example of this month's Q-pon.  Q-pons are a highly discounted item that SR offers to all it's Platinum Q members.  It is emailed to each member.  Platinum members can add this discounted item into their Q, the month that it is offered, and they will get the Q-pon price! 

*  You can offer this special Q-pon price to all of your customers though. In order for them to receive the Q-pon price, they need to place an order through you, as their consultant.  Just place a typical party order and add it to YOUR open party for the month!

5.)  Exclusive Recipes:  At the bottom of each Q-pon email, you will see that there is a recipe.  This is the "exclusive recipe" that they are entitled to.  This month (Feb 2013) it is the following:

Chicken Enchiladas by Chef Todd Leonard, CEC Time: 45 min. Yields 8 servings (16 enchiladas)
Filling:		Instructions
3 c. THRIVE™ Chopped Chicken (FD) 1/3 c. THRIVE™ Green Onions (FD) ½ c. THRIVE™ Green Chili Peppers (FD) 1/3 c. THRIVE™ Chopped Onions (FD) 2½ c. water 1/3 tsp.chili powder ¾ tsp. cumin ¾ tsp. season salt ¾ c. THRIVE™ Shredded Colby Cheese (FD), reconstituted Sauce: 2 tsp. garlic, fresh 2 tbsp. butter 2 2/3 c. water 1½ tbsp. THRIVE™ Chicken Bouillon 1/3 c. THRIVE™ Chopped Onions (FD) ½ c. THRIVE™ Green Chili Peppers 2 tsp. THRIVE™ Tomato Powder ¾ tsp. cumin 1/3 tsp. chili powder 1/3 c. sour cream 2/3 c. THRIVE™ Shredded Colby Cheese (FD), reconstituted 1 tbsp. corn starch + 2 tbsp. cold water Topping: 1 c. THRIVE™ Shredded Colby Cheese (FD), reconstituted 16 corn tortillas		In a bowl, mix all filling ingredients except cheese and let sit for a minimum of 5 minutes. Sauté mixture in small amounts in a very hot skillet to brown and caramelize. Set aside, let cool, and fold in ¾ c. cheese. In a medium-size saucepan, sauté garlic in butter until softened. Add remaining sauce ingredients except sour cream, cheese, and cornstarch slurry. Bring to a simmer for about 5 minutes or until starting to thicken and then blend in blender until smooth. Pour back into pan. Mix cornstarch slurry, add to sauce, and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and fold in sour cream and cheese. Mix 1 cup of sauce with filling. Stir lightly without breaking up the chicken. Fill each tortilla with ¼ cup filling and roll up. Place enchiladas in 9x13 baking dish. Cover with remaining sauce and sprinkle cheese over top. Bake at 350⁰F for 15–20 minutes, until bubbly and browned.

6.)  Reward Points:  These are the BEST part of becoming a Platinum Q Member, in my opinion!  For EVERY dollar a customer spends on their Q (less shipping) they get a point.  These points accumulate and can be redeemed for FREE SR products.  It can be used on anything!  I just got a new Consolidator with mine a few weeks ago.  Point out to your customers that this is like getting money back on their purchases!  

Points can be redeemed once they total 500 points.  (500 points = $15 in free product.)  

If a customer needs help figuring out how to redeem their points, walk them through the following steps:

1. Log into their account at www.thrivelife.com.  Use their email and password to log in.
2. Have them go to the top tool bar and click on "My Account."  (It is in small letters under the main tabs at the top.)  This brings them to their Account Dashboard.  
3. In their account dashboard they will see, in the first box down,  

My THRIVE Q: 

Q Club Points: ________

Under that, in blue, it will say say either (Prize Details) if they need to wait to collect 500 points, or

it will say (Redeem Points) if they have enough points to redeem.

    4.  Clicking on the blue words will bring them to the Thive website, where they can place their order.      

         When it asks them for a payment, they click "redeem points" and follow the prompts.  

7.)  Shipping Discounts:  Today I received a great shipping discount!  Yay!  Here is what it looked like:
