Stellar Sellers: Recognizing Top Contributors in the Seller Community, May 2024

Hey everyone, 

 

I hope that you all have been having a lovely May! As we’re getting closer to the summer months, I’m cherishing the last bit of spring that we have (although my allergies are ready for a change 🤧).

 

This past month, the Stellar Sellers garnered 918 Kudos, 606 Replies, and 113 Best Answers.  Keep smashing it! 💪

 

How are members selected to be a part of Stellar Sellers?

 

To discover our Seller Community top contributors of the month, our team looks at how many best answers members shared, how many kudos they've received, and how engaged they've been. We also look beyond the metrics and check out how our members embrace our community values and guidelines which help make the Seller Community a welcoming and inclusive space. 

 

Here are some more things to keep top of mind to become a Stellar Seller: 

  • Give and receive kudos (click the Like button)! 💚
  • Provide helpful answers
  • Create your own posts and engage with others
  • Be kind and welcoming

 

Now, let’s get to celebrating!

Square Champion

Congratulations 🎉 👏 🎉 @mksavage 

Square Champion

@maxpete thanks for the props

Square Champion

@Lovewell a second location? Ughhhhh, hun congrats and I wish you all the best in the world! I run crazy and in circles in a 12k sq ft furniture store! I want to move to my garage! 😆 🤣 😂 no, really I love growth, I love and shop small only! You rock it out! 

Square Champion

Thank you, for the link! They are reaching out with POSITIVE feedback I asked for! 

Congratulations Michelle @mksavage!!  That's so awesome!  I definitely agree with this post!!  I have only read a fraction of your posts and have enjoyed them very much.

Square Champion

@Twpchair Thank you so so much! 

I feel like if I had a furniture store I too would want to move it to my garage. All three of us worked in retail before opening the coffee shop and, sometimes I was just not built for that! I loved people but retail is a whole different ball game for sure. You keep rocking it! 

One of our signs we have on our chalkboard right now says

"When you feel like quitting take a sip of your coffee (or tea) and remember why you started."

Square Champion

Congrats @mksavage and everyone else on such a great job....

Square Champion

Hello! I was looking for you and wanted to share with you my first hand built table and bench/chair set! Usually my husband has to step in and help with angles but I did it after 12 yrs 😆 🤣 😂

@Lovewell of course!!

 

@dimo10 much deserved!

Square Champion

Oh my goodness!!! This made my day, my week, my month! Thank you so much @maxpete@Helen, and @isabelle (and so many others) for making this such an engaging, positive space for sellers. I have felt so supported and seen here, and am so incredibly thankful for each of the Super Sellers -- you guys keep me sane, keep me laughing, and make me a WAY better business owner. Okay, this is starting to sound like an Oscars acceptance speech...haha! All that to say -- love y'all, and this was so exciting!

Admin

@mksavage appreciate the love, and grateful to have you in the Community! You are amazing!

Square Champion

Congratulations to everyone! @maxpete thank you also for all your hard work and what is up with the allergies? I have never had any issues before and this year I'm taking meds daily 🙃 😪 not sure if the last emoji is a runny nose or eyes but I had both going on!

Admin

@Twpchair I've heard this from many others too! Just a bad season this year 🤧
