Here is a picture of the screen when I went on stage to be recognized for my 100K Sales Milestone Award. I hate being on stage, but for some reason felt the need to go up there since it was my goal this year. I practically ran off of stage, so I didn't give the gals enough time to get a better picture. That's OK.
