Trail’s End Emails and “Onboarding”
You have probably received an email (or two) from Trail’s End encouraging you to log in and complete the onboarding process. Should you do this? YES! Why? It updates your unit’s information and asks important questions, such as how far of a radius is your unit willing to sell from your chartered org address. It helps Trails End look at stores to schedule. Please try and log in and complete the questions before the end of the month.
Storefront Pre-assigning
Part of the emails from Trail’s End may have referenced storefront pre-assignments. Northern Star is NOT participating in this program, we are not preassigning any storefronts, all Trails End scheduled storefronts be available at the storefront sign up days, which will be announced very soon.
Training Dates and locations
Below is the list of Training opportunities for the fall popcorn sale. Hope to see you at one of the in person locations or online!
As always, a recorded training will be available online to watch when it works in your schedule. Attendance at any of the trainings below, or the online one, earns 3% commission for your unit for the fall sale for a final total of 35% commission.
