Introducing the new Ambassador Starter Kit Programme

The New Ambassador Starter Kit programme

Why introduce a paid Starter Kit?:• To encourage those interested in joining the Ambassador programme to make a more

conscious business choice by having a mandatory Starter Kit purchase required upon registration

• This will create the right type of barrier to entry and decrease no. of new Ambassadors who join and who do not become active

• To provide new Ambassadors greater direction in what and how much inventory they buy up front to ultimately help them be more successful more quickly

Starter kit contents:• Starter Kit will be housed in a beautifully branded Barefoot Books box

• Contents will include:

• Mix of bestselling Barefoot Books products including books, puzzles and puppets

• Key marketing materials/sales aids

The New Ambassador Starter Kit programme

• Update on Kickstart Bonus• We have created a new Kickstart bonus structure to help incentivize growth from

engaged Ambassadors looking to build their business quickly

Premise is to reward new Ambassadors when they demonstrate success quickly

By promoting these incentives in conjunction with our new training, we:

Give Ambassadors a how-to guide and compelling reason to host their first event and see instant gratification

Give you as Leaders a powerful hook to educate your new team members on the benefits of getting started quickly and effectively In the Ambassador programme
