Where are all the conference announcements?

[crooney]

Morning -

Ok - I have been trying to be patient but I really want to see the CNL Fall/Winter! Did I miss something? I thought everything was going to be there this morning?

I'm sure HO is swamped right now, it is till only 9:15 there, I'm sure we'll have the newsletter and all the specials and announcements up by the afternoon! It seems to take a while right after conference!;)

[chefann]

It's only 9:30 there. Someone probably has to manually push buttons to put it up. Give it until noon, or exit your browser to allow it to refresh.

[pampcheflisa]

I may be wrong, but I think they are going to update the website this morning and CC is supposed to be down for a few hours and be back up around noon today.
Also, I think someone scanned it here, so you may check the files section....HTH!!

[janetupnorth]

I got into CC but the regular website seemed slow or down so they may be working on it!

[chefann]

I just got off the phone with cust svc, and she said they're having rain right now, so their systems are a little slow.
BTW- only a minute or two wait! If you need to call cust svc, now's the time to do it. And hope that you get Gina. She was friendly, smiley, and very helpful.

[DebbieJ]

Yes, the rain here is wicked. Lots of thunder.

[crooney]

I had to miss conference this year and that bugged me - but appreciated seeing the photos posted of the new products! Thank you for that! I just want to see the newsletter.......I am starting to twitch a little........

LOL!!! I was twitching and tripping out Wednesday - Saturday, when Greg locked me out of here (CS) for not paying when I didn't even get notified until I had left for conference and was locked out by the time I got back. I had no way of knowing, and it drove me crazy!:grumpy: But all is well again!:thumbup:

[heat123]

I"m sooo excited! Will they send an email for the new recruiting promo and Aug speicals, I wonder??

[MissChef]

You know they will!!! By this afternoon, I think everything will be up and posted on the web and sent to our e-mail inboxes!!:thumbup:
It is very exciting!:thumbup:;):balloon:

[byrd1956]

Well, just check CC and no changes on the host special paper, yet. It is almost noon here in Ohio.

[janetupnorth]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!

I'm trying to get some host packets ready for my August hosts and I've been waiting and waiting for the site to update, I keep clicking refresh and get nothing, so thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jules711]

where are you finding these links? I didn't see anything new and I JUST looked!! Thank you! I have a host waiting to decide if August is the right month for her. Of course, I LOVE the forged cutlery so am highly suggesting that for her. Do both (Aug & Sept!).

[erinb]

I'm still not getting anything on CC....Janet must be special:)

[Kathy's_Kitchen]

Did we know about the August booking blitz before? I had to leave on the last day a little early and never heard about it until now...

Janet,

How are you getting these files? I'm on CC and don't see them...thanks for the links!

[quiverfull7]

Awesome, special and amazing... you can use all sorts of descriptions for Janet and then she'll surprise you with even more amazing talents! She's marvelous!

[SLDOWDY1978]

i know what you mean...i rearranged the twins' furniture and i am doing laundry and i have dishes to do...i hate waiting.

[chefann]

No, there was no announcement about it.

[dollfangs]

ok I must be going blind but I don't see anything about an August booking blitz in any of the links

[Kathy's_Kitchen]

No, there was no announcement about it.

Okay, thanks. I hate to miss stuff :)!

I do already have a show booked for that week so my hostess will be excited!

[Kathy's_Kitchen]

ok I must be going blind but I don't see anything about an August booking blitz in any of the links

It's in Janet's first post...

[DCOX3]

On CC go to Dream Big National Conference box under Marla and Nancy...When you click on it it shows the promotional news update! It was killing me that I couldn't find it!:)

[dollfangs]

It's in Janet's first post...

when I pull up that link, all I get is the August host special.

[DCOX3]

When the August Host special update comes up, it tells about the booking blitz on the bottom.

[ChefBeckyD]

when I pull up that link, all I get is the August host special.

The Booking Blitz is part of the August Host Special - look at the bottom 1/3 of the page!:thumbup:

[dollfangs]

never mind. I am blind :)

[Kathy's_Kitchen]

On CC go to Dream Big National Conference box under Marla and Nancy...When you click on it it shows the promotional news update! It was killing me that I couldn't find it!:)

Aha! Thanks!

[myinnerchef]

Still nothing on CC. It's Monday, long after Wave 3 is over.

It's nice you all have directors who share things with their cluster but I'm in the dark.

[Kathy's_Kitchen]

:p I don't understand those words...

[myinnerchef]

I see August special but not September or October.

I don't see any announcement about new products or order forms.

I don't see any of the things from conference that many people refused to share even after Wave 3 was over because they insisted they would be available on Monday. It's now nearly noon and HO still has done nothing for people who didn't go to conference. And the elite who did attend still lord it over the rest of us who could not.

THis whole attitude disgusts me. I'm done here.

There are several threads here with the info, including pictures, that you are looking for.....and paperwork is something NONE of us will know about until we get our changeover kits.


But you probably aren't reading this, since you are done here.:rolleyes:

OK, that was SOOOO uncalled for.

How dare you turn on everyone here who is more than willing to share because you didn't go to conference.

Conference is an opportunity and if you don't take it how can you EXCEPT things early. HO does a lot of work to provide conference and is now in a flurry to get things.

Those who went DESERVE to get something early or better.

We couldn't share here because we were told by admins we couldn't.

Go back to bed, get over your negative attitude, and come back out when you're better and we'll be glad to help you.

Sorry if I sound rude, but you are really ruining the mood here and demanding a lot for nothing from a lot of hard-working people!

I'm sorry that you feel that way, but getting the info during conference instead of having to wait until HO puts it up is one of the perks of making the admittedly significant investment in attending conference. I'm sure it wasn't anyone's intention to lord it over you.

Technically, it's still Monday until midnight central time. HO has until then to get the info up.

It's probably best for everyone if we just let the poster "be done here"....

What's your favorite saying Janet....."you can't change....."

[cathyskitchen]

Here is what it says on that link to Nat'l Conf:

"This year’s National Conference was a blast! Spectacular surprises, stellar appearances and awe-inspiring announcements added up to an out-of-this-world experience for all. Great new products made their debut and we launched fabulous promotions. Check back here, because we’ll post more updates as follows:

Aug. 1 – Special Edition of Consultant News, September and October Host and Guest Specials. Also see all the new Theme Show materials!

Aug. 4 – Photo slide show and videos of the product demonstrations, Consultant testimonials, Cooking Shows in Action and Jean’s National Conference challenge. "

So, it looks like none of us will see the new CN until 8/1. The only things that have been posted on CC are the links that Janet posted.

[Kathy's_Kitchen]

Since I'm fairly new to CS, I was still in shock over that post... I'm so glad the three of you responded with everything I wanted to say and more!

[janetupnorth]

It's probably best for everyone if we just let the poster "be done here"....

What's your favorite saying Janet....."you can't change....."

Oh, I have so many saying I TRY not to say in public.

I'm just hoping she got up on the wrong side of bed and a little coffee or slip will get her over it.

There are those who get frustrated fast with technology.

Sounds like there are some other personal/cluster issues.

I think there is TONS of information here and all the links are there.

Hopefully, we'll see the bright shiny side of her in the future.


I think "change the people or change the people" is most appropriate here.

[jcsmilez]

myinnerchef,

I understand your frustration. I too, have been anxiously waiting all weekend to see the special edition consultant news. However, if you look at other threads and past posts you will be able to piece it together. Allison posted a partial copy of the CN on the Special Edition Consultant New Thread, many others that were able to go to conference posted info and pics.

September Special: Any Piece or set of cookware
October Special: Simple Additions

As difficult as it is to wait, PC is an amazing company that will give us all the info we need with plenty of time before that particular month. I have heard of other DS companies that commonly don't know what their special is until a few weeks before!

[DCOX3]

Shocked wasn't the word I was thinking of, but thanks to Janet, Becky and Ann for responding..maybe she is having a crappy Monday! You responded with what I was thinking also!

[leahevanson]

A big "thank you" to Janet for posting the links. I have found everyone to be so helpful1

[DebbieJ]

Greg asked us to wait until today. Info is slowly being shared. Everything is being discussed here in multiple threads. You just have to read them. Several of us even posted pictures. No one is lording anything over anyone.

[pampered.chris]

Wow!! I just want to say to Becky, Janet and Ann, Thank you.

And to everyone who so graciously shared info with us EARLY (before today) that you are SO GRACIOUSLY APPRECIATED!!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

[rennea]

That post was just silly really!!!! There has been a FLOOD of information on this board over the last couple of day. And it's really not hard to find!!

[erinb]

Wow!! I just want to say to Becky, Janet and Ann, Thank you.

And to everyone who so graciously shared info with us EARLY (before today) that you are SO GRACIOUSLY APPRECIATED!!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

I second that!

[Jules711]

I think we are just spoiled. I love knowing everything right away. I didn't attend conference this year and wanted to know BEFORE conference started. When I attend, I'm happy to wait b/c it is fun (plus, I'm busy getting ready & such). Being on this side, I feel a little irritated not knowing right away and being kept from the info (again...spoiled...anxious...etc). HOWEVER, I can also see the other side and people that attend deserve the info b/c of the money and time commitment. And THEN they are willing to spend time giving us THANKFUL people the info they received. It does take a bit of searching since there are a ton of threads now. Even with that I want to see the CN in colorful officially.

I think anyone that doesn't think they SHOULD share has the right to feel that way....so they don't share :). Thank you to those that are sharing and exercising YOUR right to do that.

Huh...avoiding work? Just a bit. Thanks again!!!

All are back a few pages on this thread. :)

[cathyskitchen]

All are back a few pages on this thread. :)

Janet - the one she posted was another one on the recruiting promo - you posted 4 of the 5 links from that page (the one she posted was sub-grouped under the recruiting one for consultants). That's why I'm just trying to direct people to the page on CC to find all 5, plus the info. at the bottom on when we'll see the rest. Just FYI :)

[crooney]

WOW! Ok - I am really new to this - that was my first post and I certainly didn't mean to hit such a nerve!

I have been with PC for over 12 years and have attended every NC and Leadership since I started with the exception of NC 1999 (it was two months after my youngest was born), NC 2002 (too close to 9/11 and my family and I were trying to deal with nearly losing my dad who was on the 81st floor of the south tower that morning - made it out but.....another story), NC 2006 (two boys on traveling all stars teams and HO wouldn't allow me to switch my assigned conference) and this one b/c I just could not afford over $400 for airfare when I have gone every time in the past for under $200! God had a plan for me - and after I cancelled my hotel and registration with many tears and regrets- I found out what that plan was. My 4 year old nephews appendix burst on 7/4 and he was in Childrens Hospital in Boston for 2 weeks just coming home late last week - I needed to be here to help with his two brothers - that is why I do this business after all, right? to be here for my family)

Anyway - I am sure many of us are in similiar situations - and then there are those who just for whatever situation, cannot make the time/money investment at this time. But we are all excited about the new stuff - all "twitching" to see the new CNL - and I am SO THANKFUL so many great people posted all this information! My two downline directors went and did give me updates - but seeing the photos, and the documents posted here have been fabulous! Thank you all for that!

Guess I will be twitching until 8/1. Not used of having to do that - either had the info there or in those few above examples - had it very quickly from HO!

Sorry for stirring things up so much! (and for being so long)

PS - On a funny aside - I am so new to this and clueless that it took me about 30 minutes to find the link Janet posted about the booking blitz!

Christine,

You are fine! you didn't touch a nerve - that was set in motion by another post from someone being ungrateful, - and then being insulting and rude when they didn't get what they thought they deserved as quickly as they thought they deserved to get it.

Welcome to Chef Success! We try to be positive, helpful, and fun around here - really, we do!

If there are questions you need answers to about navigating the site - then read this thread - it has the answers to all of the mysteries surrounding you! LOL.

Hey - you're all good Christine!

No one was irritated at you, it was the other person being huffy that they didn't get what they wanted IMMEDIATELY and where they wanted then threatening to "be done here".

Ask away!

We're all sharing as much as we can as fast as we can for each other.

There are many on here who couldn't attend for valid family/financial reasons.

It's just sad that people expect it all for nothing sometimes at the expense of many here working to post/share for them, HO probably going insane to not only get conference and training ready for us but also these wonderful documents, etc., etc.

[janetupnorth]

Christine -

P.S. Don't be a stranger! ;)

[crooney]

Thank you Janet and Becky - I will check out that instruction and introduction stuff you mentioned!

One of my downline directors is also in the "missing the cnl" blues - she had to leave closing session 15 minutes early to catch her flight and they wouldn't give it to her so I guess some who went still don't have it!!!

THANK YOU!

[BethCooks4U]

Here is what it says on that link to Nat'l Conf:

So, it looks like none of us will see the new CN until 8/1. The only things that have been posted on CC are the links that Janet posted.
They announced at conference that these would be posted later so that directors would have a chance to share with their teams and have more exciting meetings. It's much more fun when you don't know everything. I think it was 2 years ago that before I could even get home after wave 3 everything was up on CC. It really took the wind out of my announcements and plans for the meeting.

Thanks Pampered Chef!

[janetupnorth]

I have to agree Beth.

Although it is sad that many don't have supportive uplines, we cannot ruin it for those who ARE doing things right and trying to motivate their teams.

[byrd1956]

It's up...

https://www.pamperedchef.com/images/cc/us/pdf/hs_08aug_booking_challenge.pdf

Ok, I must have been blind this morning! Thanks for the link, Janet. :love:
I have saved it to a word doc. so I can paste my info. on it for my monthly flyer! I have also been very busy updating my website w/the specific info. Making an e-mail to send to my contacts about the retired pieces and price changes. Gona try an oline August Savings show. Maybe I'll get enough interest in the retired and price change pieces to make a show. Who knows? It is worth a try.

[Jennie4PC]

I have to say thanks to everyone posting all the news and who emailied me the news also. I am excited about alot of stuff. But I get more excited when I get to look at the stuff when it gets delivered to my house. There are a few things that I know I will be getting that I will never use but I am still excited to see everything.

[cathyskitchen]

Thanks Pampered Chef!

Beth - I totally agree on this. I'm glad that I can have my meeting next Tue. and show the products I earned and tell my team about everything before it hits CC. Of course, since I'm not a Director (and mine is MIA), I had to get all the info here, so I have to say that CS is awesome, too! ;)

I also think it's good planning b/c it forces us to continue to focus on the rest of July and all of August, instead of skipping them entirely and focusing on Sept/Oct. too early. I've made that mistake before.
