Susan Gabrielson, Shop for a Cure, Vendor

Susan Gabrielson, Tastefully Simple consultant of Hawley, PA makes this event Mmmm, Mmmm Good!

Starting out as a customer first, Gabrielson decided to become a consultant herself when her own consultant decided to quit. At the time customers could not place orders online and her friend convinced her to give it a try so they could continue to buy the food they could not live without. "My kids were in college and I thought it would be nice to earn some extra money with hours I could control", says Susan. She's been with this company 2 1/2 years since.

With four members in her first downline and one in her second, Susan keeps them motivated with meetings and emails. During her slow months she spends typically 10 to 20 hours a week and on busy months she can work 35 - 40 hours a week. When asked what her favorite aspect of her business, Gabrielson answers with an enthusiastic "The Products!" She also enjoys meeting new people.

Having done two prior events with Shannon Nelson, the event coordinator, she's asked to be contacted whenever Shannon holds her events. Usually she finds out about other events such as this one by word of mouth and is on the Crafters Newsletter mailing list. Susan very wisely answered that she would bring her products to taste if she were only allowed to bring one item.

A littler words of wisdom from Gabrielson...
"Enjoy the event and think of it as a way to meet new people and maybe make some new contacts. If your sales are great, that is a plus but, since the attendance is always so iffy, you have to go into it without thinking only of sales."
