Each year, Juli Waddell seems to double FlipGive’s potential. In 2014 the team earned $261 for the Markham Waxers, and she saw potential. Next year, she earned $798, then $1,419. Finally last year topped out at $2,576.
That’s great, but what’s awesome is that Juli shared with us how she’s been doing it – and it’s not complicated.

Juli knew how to earn bonus cash - so she made sure her team did too:
Since this is a group platform, we give $5 bonuses to every member who makes their first shop in the first week – Juli’s used it as a motivator to get her team to try it out. Once you try it, there are lots of tools so you don’t forget. Our pro Juli knows this as well:
…And that’s what it’s all about! Once this becomes a habit for the team, it just keeps getting better. Of course, Juli’s getting her friends and family involved, and encourages her team mates to do the same.
We’ve got our own version of an introductory pack here so you can copy Juli’s success – handouts, a letter, presentation, and a video are all available for you.
