Well, this is something I definitely didn’t see coming! 😂 Our August Referral Race officially ended in a TIE between @Jen Pm and @Dr. Shermnae Jones — with 76 referrals EACH! 🤯👏 I absolutely love how competitive this race became, and more importantly, how many new people were introduced to our community because members were willing to share it. So… I’m not breaking the tie. They BOTH win! 🎉 Each of these ladies will receive a 7-day pinned post here in the community where they can highlight their books, community, business, or anything else they’d like more visibility on. Huge congratulations to both of you!! 🥳 And thank you to EVERYONE who participated in August’s referral race. Every single referral helped this community grow and played a part in the momentum we’re seeing right now. ❤️ Drop a congratulations below for our TWO August Referral Race winners!
