CTMH Tools

This page was formerly named CTMH Introduction (prior to August 8, 2014). The information is still relevant and if you scroll down, you will still find it. I renamed the page CTMH Tools to keep all of the hints, tips, tricks and information related to CTMH products in an easy to find location, especially with the CTMH Tools of the Trade playlist recently added to YouTube. Links to all 25 of the videos on the Tools of the Trade playlist appear below.

CTMH Introduction

The information below was posted Thursday, September 26, 2013.

In a press release dated June 11, 2013 (I just learned press release has been moved; I have two alternatives, another Consulstant Amy McGrew posted it or Jeanette Lynton, CTMH Founder, discusses it on her blog) Close To My Heart announced they were launching operations in Australia and New Zealand and as part of the launch CTMH created videos to introduce those living there to CTMH as a company and the products that CTMH carries. Even though the videos were created with those in Australia and New Zealand in mind, the videos still give a great overview of the Company and CTMH products no matter where you live.

I decided to share the videos because the product information and techniques shared are relevant to all CTMH customers and potential consumers.

It is important to note that as an Independent Consultant in the United States, I am only able to sell products to those in the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam and U.S. military bases. If you live in one of those areas, I would be thrilled if you choose to order CTMH products from me. When you click on the shop now button below you will be taken to my Online Business Address (OBA) where you can start shopping immediately.

Likewise Independent Consultants in other countries also have geographic limitations where they can sell CTMH products. If you live outside the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam or U.S. military bases, go to the CMTH Corporate website and click on "Find a Consultant" found in the upper right corner of the screen to locate an Independent Consultant in your area.

As I mentioned earlier, while the videos were produced to introduce those in Australia or New Zealand to CTMH, the videos are a great introduction for anyone who is just learning about CTMH. If the information in the video does not apply to customers in the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam and U.S. military bases, I made a note below with the Corporate description of the video.


For your convenience, here is a list of the videos with the Corporate authored descriptions (clicking the link will open the video in a new browser tab). If any of the information in the video does not apply to customers in United States, Puerto Rico, Guam and U.S. military bases, I have included a note after the description listing which details are different.
