Today’s Task: A Treasure Hunt
As I write this I can’t help but sing to myself “We are looking for Blue’s Clues. We are looking for Blue’s Clues. We are looking for Blue’s Clues. I wonder where they are!” If, like my preschoolers, you’re motivated by such catchy tunes, feel free to sing along as you try to find your “clues.”
The Consultant Dashboard (a.k.a. the back end) is the infrastructure of your business. As a Shelf Reliance consultant, you’ll need to understand how to use it and what amazing resources it has for you to help grow your business.
To help you explore the back end, I have a little treasure hunt for you. See if you can find or do each of the following things. What is the treasure you may ask? Knowledge, reduced frustration and more $$!
Sometimes consultants are scared to play with the back end. They don’t want to “break” anything. Trust me, you won’t! (I’ve even included a few instructions to keep your dashboard neat and uncluttered as you play.) Go explore and have fun. A couple of these items are hard, but I know you are clever and will be able to find them.

1. Add an event and name it after the current month. For example, “August.”
2. Add yourself as a customer.
3. Send a message to your customers introducing your self.
If you are a very new consultant your customers should at this point only include yourself, remember you just added yourself. If you have been a consultant for a while and have several customer I still want you to send them a message, remember to be polite, professional, and to the point. You could introduce them to a product you really love that is on sale.
4. Post a thoughtful, helpful response in the discussion forum to an existing post.
5. Figure out the tax for an order placed from the house you grew up in.

Today’s Notes
When consultants first start using the dashboard, they are often hesitant because they don’t want to break anything. Don’t worry you won’t! And if by some tiny chance you do mess something up and can’t figure out how to fix it, your enroller or Shelf Reliance customer service will be able to fix it. My advice is to check out everything on the consultant dashboard, click on every link, figure out what everything does. There a ton of fabulous things there.
