A Big AWAI Congratulations to Janet Grosshandler!
Janet writes:
“I have wonderful, life-changing (mine) news! I have started working as THE online copywriter for Precious Moments, the billion-dollar figurine and giftware company along with its sister companies, Lifebook and others! Tonight, I'm working on a special email series and a landing page for a Precious Moments/Disney exclusive offer.
“I applied for the position right before Christmas through an ad on AWAI, sending off a heart-filled letter of what those little figurines have meant to me for 25 years. Brian Johnson, the Internet Vice President, put me through to the next round and sent me a spec assignment for a sales letter promoting a new (and vague) Precious Moments online program.
“I worked smart under a quick deadline and submitted a day early (my strategy) and a few weeks later in Feb., Brian emailed me that he wanted to talk. We connected that night on the phone; he tells me that I am in the top 4 for the position! He asked if I could fly out to Chicago in a week for their Lifebook personal development seminar. Then he’d give me paid writing assignments about Lifebook and maybe some Precious Moments copy and we would see how it all worked out.
“The rest is history! I attended, wrote, revised, over-delivered and must have knocked it out of the park because he’s had me doing the online copywriting for both Precious Moments and Lifebook for the last 4-5 weeks!
“In the first few weeks, I already hold the control for several sales pages and email campaigns! I’m on weekly marketing team calls and in on advising and planning. It's a little scary to have to be quick on the uptake on all the marketing ideas, but AWAI and Wealthy Web Writer and Bootcamp prepared me well.
“I’m writing all the copy for a huge new Precious Moments online launch of a collaboration with another famous artist – sales and landing pages, email campaigns, PLUS taking on all the social media responsibilities (Facebook, Twitter, PM blog, and articles). I've been buried in Nick's social media program for the past 2 nights!
“Life is exceptional! I am here because of AWAI and all your help. I continually use the AWAI & WWW websites, programs, articles, and EVERYTHING on them to do the best job I can.
“Been doing a lot of happy dancing and also serious hard work and loving every minute of it!
“Thank you, thank you, and thank you.”
Best,
Janet, Precious Moments and Lifebook Copywriter
