When Noreen Petty first talked to April Smith
about becoming a Close To My Heart Consultant,
there was no doubt that this woman was definitely
Consultant material! April said, “I can’t see any
reason why I wouldn’t want to do this; it just
makes sense.” Since March 27, 2012 April has been
a valuable member of the Close To My
Heart family.
April began with enthusiasm, reaching both levels
of Straight To The Top. This Florida resident is a
natural businesswoman. Shortly after joining
Close To My Heart, she attended a friend’s retreat
and was given the opportunity to demo some
products off-the-cuff. April quickly said
something about Art Philosophy and she was such
a natural at her presentation that she had seven
orders for the Cricut® Art Philosophy cartridge.
April’s key to business success is her passion for
the product. She is an avid cardmaker and her
desire to share Close To My Heart with others never
comes across as pushy, but simply as a love of all
things Close To My Heart. Shortly after April
became a Consultant, she started building her Team
by sharing her excitement about Close To My
Heart. She began hosting Team meetings and get-
togethers to share artwork, ideas, and tips. She
made it a priority to rearrange her calendar so she
could attend Convention. She set an example for her
Team by participating in card swaps and hosting
Team events to inspire her Downline.
The greatest thing about April is that she simply
shares what she loves and that is what made her
business so successful. April achieved Manager
status with four new Team members only five
months after she first signed on as a Consultant. Her
hard work and dedication have truly paid off!
April is married to her childhood sweetheart,
Archie, and they live in Bradenton, Florida.
Close To My Heart is pleased to recognize April
Smith as a 2013 Rising Star!
