That&#8217;s just a table. What you need is a strategy. A vendor event is a fantastic way to find new customers, new team members, and new Hosts. But it only pays off when you approach it intentionally, from the moment you arrive, to how you gather contact information, and to your follow-up afterward. In this session, you&#8217;ll explore what it takes to work a vendor event strategically, so you leave with more than a stack of business cards and a long drive home.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #509659;\"><strong>Welcome to Thrive: A First-Timer&#8217;s Exclusive with Linda and Brian<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-ogsc=\"black\">There&#8217;s\u00a0no better way to enrich your first Thrive experience than by hearing directly from the people who started it all.\u00a0This session is exclusively for first-time Thrive attendees and is one you\u00a0won&#8217;t\u00a0want to miss. L&#8217;BRI co-founders Linda and Brian Kaminski will share the story behind the aloe-powered skincare and give you a front-row seat to the company&#8217;s heart and history. Linda and Brian will openly discuss their journey, what\u00a0they&#8217;ve\u00a0learned along the way, and where they believe L&#8217;BRI is headed.\u00a0It&#8217;s\u00a0part origin story, part honest conversation, and part vision for a future\u00a0you&#8217;re\u00a0now a part of.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #509659;\"><strong>Where&#8217;s Your Next New Customer?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>She might be a friend of a friend, someone who commented on your post, or the person who said &#8220;maybe&#8221; at your last party. Knowing where to look and what to do when you find her is essential. In this session, we&#8217;ll walk through the full customer journey, from that first interest to a forever customer. You&#8217;ll learn how to spot the people already in your world who are ready for L&#8217;BRI, how to bring new faces into your business, and how to build a customer base that keeps growing.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #509659;\"><strong>Where&#8217;s Your Next New Team Member?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>She might be someone you already know, or someone you haven&#8217;t met yet.

In this session, we&#8217;ll walk through how to recognize the people already around you who are ready for something more, how to reach beyond your existing circle to find new faces, how to confidently start the conversation without feeling pushy, and how to guide someone from curious to committed.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #509659;\"><strong>How to Never Run Out of Parties<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A consistent and full calendar doesn&#8217;t happen by accident. It&#8217;s intentionally built one booking at a time. In this session, you\u2019ll learn everything that goes into keeping your calendar full, from knowing who to ask and how to ask them, to coaching your Host so she\u2019s prepared and excited, and her guests show up, buy, and book. That&#8217;s how one party turns into three.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #509659;\"><strong>Send More, Sell More with Email Marketing<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Email marketing is one of the\u00a0highest-converting\u00a0business\u00a0tools\u00a0you have.

This session will focus on practical strategies for creating a follow-up system that you can maintain consistently.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #509659;\"><strong>Set Yourself Up to Earn More Incentives<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Most Consultants want to earn L\u2019BRI incentives. What gets in the way isn&#8217;t effort; it&#8217;s knowing which daily and weekly activities have the biggest impact. When you understand which business habits drive the results that lead to incentives, reaching those goals stops feeling like a stretch and starts feeling like a plan. In this session, you\u2019ll learn the key business activities that set you up to earn all the rewards and incentives L&#8217;BRI offers. From actions that generate sales to habits that grow your team and keep your business steadily moving forward.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #509659;\"><strong>Money Mindset: From Overwhelmed to Abundant<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"x_MsoListParagraph\"><span data-ogsc=\"rgb(68, 93, 92)\">You crave success in your business, but something feels like\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0holding you back.

And it worked. But eventually, relying on memory, habit, and hustle alone isn&#8217;t enough. The systems, routines, and frameworks that keep everything running smoothly, whether you&#8217;re managing a party, onboarding a new Consultant, or taking a week off, are essential. That&#8217;s the business behind your business. When the right systems are in place, your business doesn&#8217;t depend on your best day. It operates on a sustainable standard. In this session, we&#8217;ll walk through the core systems leaders need to grow a thriving, sustainable team without burning out in the process.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #509659;\"><strong>Don&#8217;t Just Sign Them Up, Set Them Up <\/strong><\/span><strong style=\"color: #509659; font-size: 22px;\">(For Executive Managers and above)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">The first 50 days in a new Consultant\u2019s business can make or break their success. When a leader has a clear onboarding system, new Consultants start with confidence, hit their goals, and stay.

In this session, we\u2019ll walk through what a strong onboarding system looks like and how to build one that works for you and your team.<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #509659;\"><strong>From Crickets to Community: Creating Team Engagement (For Executive Managers and above)<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Are you struggling to get more engagement from your team?
