A $3m linen champion

By Sonia Isaacs

WHAT does $3 million worth of linen look like? Jodi Hamlyn-Harris is in a better position than most to answer that question after being inducted into the Lorraine Lea $3m club this month.

Proving that the party-plan industry can be much more than a side hustle, Maleny local Jodi was recently recognised as one of the top three sellers for 2022 at a gala awards ceremony for Australian linen and homeware company, Lorraine Lea. Along with cracking her personal goal of achieving over $304K in sales, Jodi was also officially inducted into the $3 million sales club at the recently held annual conference and awards night held at the Gold Coast on February 11.

Jodi said joining the $3m club represented a huge career highlight as well as a considerable sales achievement. She said while she actually hit the milestone target in March last year; to have it recognised so publicly in front of her company, team members and peers was awesome. The award moment was also made extra special as Jodi shared the stage with fellow Queensland recipient Lesley Ratz who originally introduced Jodi to the company in 2004, and has been a friend and mentor ever since.

“To have been inducted into this very exclusive club onstage with my leader, mentor and linen bestie Lesley at our conference was a career highlight for me! I think one of the things that has contributed to my success over the years is that I work hard and always try to see Balancing range.

“I really love my business mainly because of the beautiful people I get to play with - my gorgeous hosts and customers, wonderful Linenology team and my fellow Lorraine Lea Leaders. It really is like being part of a family and I feel very privileged to be a member of the linen community. I also love the crazy money I make by showing lovely people lovely linen,” said Jodi.
