Have you ever wished you could make just a little difference that would go a long way? This month we’re going to meet Shelly Partrick. Her journey with Norwex proves that where ever you are at with your business, it can work for YOU on so many levels!! Let’s check out how she is making a difference in her family and community.
Shelly has been with Norwex for a little over a year and is currently a Team Coordinator. She lives on Lake Ontario in the town of Mexico, New York with Russell, her husband of 28 years; daughters Marrietta (22) and Chloe (19); and Jazz (rescue dog). She is a teaching assistant at Mexico Elementary and her husband owns a Real Estate company in Mexico.
Shelly’s Norwex journey began like so many others- she was invited to a party (and truth be told, she’s never been a big fan of direct sales parties). Because she would be out of town at the time of the party, she called the hostess to give her regrets and asked, “What the heck is Norwex, anyway?” Well that question started a conversation that had her hooked so she placed her first order. When she received her products, she was so blown away by what they could do that she went from being someone who didn’t particularly like direct sales parties to someone who wanted to present at those same parties! She found Norwex to be incredible and knew it would be life-changing to so many. The fact that she could make a little “mad money” on the side seemed a bonus. Never in her wildest dreams could she have imagined how many ways Norwex would change her life!
The first positive change that Norwex brought was the financial help it gave the Partrick family. While they didn’t need the extra income to cover bills, the extra was certainly fantastic when family trips came up, her daughter’s cell phone needed an upgrade, or her husband “needed” a new grill for Father’s day! Shelly’s also saving for her dream trip to Ireland for her and Russell’s 30th anniversary.
Probably, the most fulfilling change that Norwex has made is the feeling that she’s helping so many others by introducing them to Norwex. She’s been able to help friends with allergies cut down on triggers by showing them how they can clean with water. She’s helped excema sufferers finally become steroid free for the first winter in years, thanks to Norwex body cloths. The list of people Shelly feels she’s helped is endless and growing!
Norwex has also sparked an interest in Shelly learning more about our impact on our planet. She is presently developing enrichment program ideas to use at Mexico Elementary School. She’s anxious to teach students about how everyone plays a role in helping to create a greener planet.
As she looks ahead, her greatest excitement is in what the future holds with her growing team. Never, in the beginning of her Norwex career, would she have considered that team coaching would be as rewarding as the sales end of her business. She loves the sales and team coaching of it so much she often wonders, “When will the honeymoon period be over? When will I stop jumping at the chance to excitedly talk about Norwex to whomever will listen?” Well, it looks like that end is nowhere in sight! 🙂
That’s awesome Shelly! Keep up the enthusiasm! I’m excited to see where Norwex takes you and your team in the next year! Best Wishes!!
