"All in all - I now have a story to tell...I have really enjoyed the experience so far and would highly recommend Thrive to anyone who wants to PROPERLY learn the business of e-commerce. I had looked at website building before but what I was dealing with those that seemed so fly-by-night that I was scared. I found Thrive - or they found me - I am very glad I took the call, listened and stayed on board. Your team is above board in my book.

Now - keep all this goodness going - don't forget about me just because we are all at this particular stage - I would like to continue on with you as well. This is like a relationship - there will be ups and downs but we are all still in this together. Thank you so much - You all are tops!!

"Thrive was absolutely wonderful by walking me through all the steps that I needed to take. I probably called them 1-2 times a day, always getting greeted back friendly. I couldn't have done this without all their support, knowledge and patience. Thank you, Thrive, for helping me make everyone in my family happy!

Kim C., Hemet, California

"I spent ten years in a call center position and thirty nine years in sales. I took a great deal of pride in how I did my job. My attitude was to always put the customer's needs before my own. That attitude was what permeated and ruled in every call. Every customer who got off the phone after talking to me was smiling because I made sure of it (that was a lot of phone calls in 10 years). I didn't want them to hesitate in calling again because they would be afraid of getting me. Usually, in a call center, most calls that come in are upset or angry people about something. My goal was to be sure the customer knew that the company I worked for was on their side and I had to prove it to them in every call until they understood, WE will get to the bottom of this and it will be resolved." Knowing I represented my company and knowing I wanted that someone to say good things about us as a company, I learned listening had to become my greatest skill. I was top in my field all ten years. I give all the credit to good customer service philosophies. I wanted the job of training others but they never created that position though it was desperately needed.

Because of my disabilities, I can no longer work outside my home. Thrive has become a very important part of my life. You guys are my business partners!! I wanted to write this letter to you so you can know what it is I hear on the other side of what you hear in the call center every day. The coaches that are answering my phone calls have always been professional, kind, knowledgeable, and efficient in what they are doing. They never make me feel stupid for asking the kind of questions that to them were probably obvious. They are so willing to help with showing me shortcuts and giving me great ideas to help _/*succeed.*/_ . As you all know, that is the greatest fear most people have in starting a new business. We all read the stats on those poles (which I am beginning to wonder if those stats are there just to discourage people and say the first, "I told you so.") Now I said all that to say this. The quality of people you have working for you really SHINES through each of them. Every one of them ALWAYS has gone the extra mile to get me to the best solutions. I can tell that their training has been excellent. I couldn't have trained them better myself in the quality of their customer service skills. My hope is this, I know this is a new company and everyone is excited and really wants to do well in all they do. I can see this. I hope that in 5 years, 10 years they will still have this same quality of excitement when those calls are coming in then. That's the difference between good quality people and just good training. But for now, I am most fortunate because I have you all with me now. I only hope they see how fortunate they are to be working for men like Matt and yourself. That's the difference between a good company and a 9-5er kind of job...Thank you to all...for being so kind to me. No matter how many times I call a day, everyone always sounds happy to hear from me "again".

I wanted to say a special thanks to you and to Mike and Malla...for always saying to me, "I believe you can do this Theresa", even if you don't use those words, you say it to me in how you handle me. Thank you, Jared for believing in me. If you could have only seen me six months ago, I barely left the house or even got dressed. You have helped me find my strength of purpose again! And you know what; I believe I can do it too, now!!

You also need to know I have need to say a special thanks to Mike and Malla. Malla spent a lot of his patience on me one day and never made me feel like I was a nuisance to him. I was having trouble trying to get the text to wrap around a picture I wanted to keep on my home page. He worked very hard and never sounded exasperated. I believe I called him several times that day because I kept messing up what he had just fixed. He was awesome. Mike is very special to me too. I can trust him with anything. Why I know I can say this about him is because he cared enough for me to say, "I really don't like your website." He spoke the truth to me without any malice in his voice. He also made me understand right up front that he knew what he was talking about. I soon found out he did. What an asset you have in this man. I hope everyone treats the tech dept. with the utmost respect because they are making what the coaches are teaching virtually happen in real time. WOW!

Thank you again for who you are and what you are making this company to be about THE RIGHT WAY.

"...I am doing things and yes, actually beginning to understand things that I never dreamed of doing... My husband and I both have been very active professionally and now in our 'slowing down years,' we are so excited about this business. I cannot thank you enough for your having brought me 'this far' along the journey...I was not aware that the training and leadership from Thrive would be so intensive. My husband could hardly believe it when I shared with him the amount of 'hands-on' leadership that you are providing...I believe that this business will be strong and will survive and excel in meeting our goals.

Prudence L., Columbia, MS

"I am a stay-at-home mom with two busy boys, with not a lot of extra time. Thrive made me realize that you don't need 60 hours a week to be successful. Rather they implement a realistic plan that suits your schedule and goals...I'm well on my way to building my business. Thrive has taken a new concept for me and has turned it into a simple step-by-step process of building a successful business online. It is amazing how Thrive has put together tools that are not only easy to implement but also have made me a better internet consumer. The resources, the one-on-one team assistance, the technical support, and the marketing team have been invaluable. They have been with me every step of the way to ensure that I was making the right choices, and offered advice from their own personal trials and successes. Even when I had question after question, their response was "No question is insignificant!"

I value Thrive's integrity and care for their students to the utmost. I am so thankful that the phone rang that day and I took the first step in building my success. I've taken control of my life and have involved myself in something that I can make as big or little as a want. Thrive sees no situation as too big or too small, and are eagerly waiting to help more and more people in the same situation as myself. Thank you Thrive for all you've done and continue to do."

Jennifer W., Clayton, NC

"The Thrive has really been a big help in getting us started with our home business. From our Team Coaches to the Technical Support Staff, we have received direction, helpful advice, constructive criticism and encouragement, every step of the way. No question is too small or unimportant and they have been answered quickly and thoroughly. The Coaches and Support Staff have been instrumental in taking us from being relative novices to developing our own website. We are confident that we will be able to achieve our financial goals with our business due to the professional help we received from Thrive.

Erin and Eric F., Jacksonville, North Carolina

"I have three children and I very much desired to be a stay-at-home mom, but our finances were looking bleak, trying to support a family of 5 on one income. Next came my foot surgery that did not allow me to walk for a few months. I needed to bring in some income for my family and I started researching work from home programs. I had zero experience with running a business (other than my household) or website construction. At first I was very skeptical (that's me by nature), I thought it would take a long time to start-up a business, build and establish my website, and start making sales. I was checking my order status daily and yesterday I was pleasantly surprised to see my very first order. I made a profit of $61 with one sale. In the past two days including my ebay sales I have made a combined total of $120. It may not seem like much, but to me it's great part time pay and a definite good beginning. It was really exciting and I am anxious to continue improving my site and create more business. Thrive has been very helpful every step of the way. I know any time I run into some kind of road block Thrive is there to send me back in the right direction. I feel this is a great opportunity for any parent who wants to be home with their children and create some income... I will say, it has been a very beneficial learning experience in a fairly short period of time, and once you get going it is actually a fun job with an added bonus: being your own boss. If you are willing to put in the effort to learn, you can accomplish your goals. Thanks Thrive and everyone from team 3! I hope to continue my success!"

"I had lost my job of 13 yrs and didn't know what I was going to do, I was tired of traveling a hour to work and I wanted something I could do at home, I found this even though I didn`t know much about computers except how to read e-mails.... I see my sales go up every day and I'm just beginning. Thank you Thrive, the learning is easy and fun, the rewards are great!"

Connie S., Nineveh, IN

"I would like to thank Thrive for helping me learn the ropes of Internet sales, I have had 5 sales and it looks like I have a few more ending in a couple days. Thanks so much. I had lost my job of 13 yrs and didn't know what I was going to do, I was tired of traveling a hour to work and I wanted something I could do at home, I found this even though I didn`t know much about computers except how to read e-mails. Thrive told me I could do this if I was committed and boy I was committed and still am. I see my sales go up every day and I'm just beginning. Thank you Thrive, the learning is easy and fun, the rewards are great!

"My name is Robin Thomas and I would like to take the time to thank Thrive for a new chance to begin an independent life again. I have been on disability since 2000 and have had to learn to live on a fixed income. I was not able to do a lot of things for my children because of fixed income. Now I have a chance to resume the life style that my family used to know and live.

Thank you for your help, your calls, and your concern that I begin to live again the right way. Having my own business will allow me to stay home, yet earn a living. I have tried many times to start my own business but have failed many times because I did not have the mentoring to succeed. Thanks to Thrive I... have much more info to continue to succeed."

Robin T., Washington D.C.

"It has only been a month since this past June that Team 1 and I started working together on my website...I had limited skill in regards to putting this all together. I am a very determined ole grandpa that needed something to keep me busy, and still have a good chance to make a few bucks doing something enjoyable. Team 1 and all the people involved, all the other departments, had the patience and knowledge to put u with my different way of doing things. Needless to say, Thrive has a bunch of talented people... [who] helped me put together a website that I am very proud of...." Thrive can do the right job for anybody...Thanks a million."

"I have sold over 40 units [of toy tractors] with an average price of $60.00 per unit. The highest price unit was $125.00 and the lowest was $22.00 plus shipping (total $2,400). This week I entered 8 units and two have sold the first day by using 'Buy It Now'.

Anyway, I am working toward my goal and getting more excited each day with the eBay success. I have another 100 plus tractors to sell. My feedback score is 39 today and it is 100% positive with good communication, next day shipping and good product.
