Will somebody be posting the updates from convention?...

[SummerG]

This is my first year as a PC Consultant. I was curious if any consultants will be posting updates about new products, etc from convention or anything?

Thanks!

[Chef susan]

They usually take those posts off---so u may have to wait--unless a team member calls you from conference

[agw]

Weeellllll....

Conference has been fun so far even though I'm here directorless and clusterless. (I changed my session due to family conflicts) Still, it's been good so far. :)

About the only thing to pass on is wear comfortable shoes!! IF the set up for session 2 and 3 is the same as one, then you'll be doing a whole LOT of walkin'! Registration and the booths are in the Lakeside Center like last year, but the seminars have been all over the complex.

[loreedfk]

If anyone from Wave 1 checks the board - what does the tote bag you get look like - is that ok to tell us? Just wondering if the bag they give us will work to drag all my crap around or if I need to bring something else!

Thanks!

No!..teehee...brain malfunction...too much adrenaline...too much packing...not enough cleaning the house...need to get off the computer...:eek:

[stephanieboyd]

Why would they take down the threads that contain the info???? They have their disclaimer so they can't be held responsible, so I don't see the problem???

Because it is rude to spoil the surprise. I have no problem with suggestions - ie. I highly suggest you bring lots of film as you want to be able to take lots of pictures of the new products - or something along those lines. But, when people post stuff that is being unveiled at conference, there are those of us who can't help but to look! I also have no problem with someone emailing or sending a PM to someone who can't make it or lives too far away.

[pcROX]

Hey! If anyone learns anything from conference, would you personally email me? pcROX@<hidden email> I would love to get some scoop since I was not able to make it this year!! Thanx in advance!!

[SummerG]

I guess I should have been more specific...I'm not attending convention. So how/when will those that do not attend find out about the new products?

I am a consultant for another home-based business and on the company bulletin board, consultants that attend convention post the updates and pictures for those that are not able to attend. I was under the impression that because this board is not PC regulated that this would be something that would be allowed?

Thanks!

the reason we are not suppose to post any conference information publicly yet is because we are only in Wave 1 right now...wave 2 starts thursday and then wave 3 on next Monday...

Is that more than this past season? Were there like 40 new products for Spring? Just curious??

[pamperedgirl3]

At our last cluster meeting, we discussed whether the huge amount of new products each season was hurting recruiting. I just started last July & already 80 new products have come out. That doesn't include the supposed 60 new ones for this season! Does anyone think that would turn off new recruits who may worry they can't remember or buy all of them? I don't think the huge amount helps my sales either. I only occasionally have guests buy the new products-even the colored ones only offered in one season.

[gilliandanielle]

I would like to jump on the bandwagon too and get some conference news!!

Anyone have anymore exciting information please email me. My email is below my name. I'd love to hear more, and it just gives me a head start on thinking. I wish I could of gone :mad: Oh well there is next year! :) Thanks you all!

[mcanavan]

I'd love to hear about how the conference is going in Chicago. I know that our products in Canada are pretty much the same.

mirella.canavan@<hidden email>

[jrstephens]

oh, i want to know too. a fellow consultant got to go and i cannot wait for her to get back. when is the first wave over?

[mrssyvo]

I will not share the news, except that you guys will be AMAZED. My first conference, and it was AWESOME !!!! It was a lot of walking, and late nights (I had my cluster staying ast my house with me, and I have had 12 hours sleep since Sunday) WORTH IT!!!!!

[nikkijo]

Confrence was AWSOME this year, with being a new consultant I have nothing to compare it to. There are A LOT of new items and I will say this I can't wait to purchase what I did not earn in June sell a thon. I love allmost everything that they came out with. Bring walking shoes because there is a lot of walking!!

[chefjeanine]

We're not sayin' nothin'!

You really don't want the surprise spoiled and Doris swears us to secrecy.

It was great. As usual, not nearly enough time to sleep. Yes, comfortable shoes are a must and the bag is big enough to haul your stuff around.

[jjgrands1]

I was not able to go to conference this year, because of trying to pay off hubby's hospital bills. Can anyone please e-mail me what was new at conference. My e-mail is: jjgrands1@<hidden email> Thank-You!!!!!:) :)

[SummerG]

You really don't want the surprise spoiled

Spoiled until when? Will we get an email from corporate or something? How is all the news released and when?

[whiteyteresa]

My director just called and told me to schedule a meeting with all of the other consultants in our area. She was to share everything with us then

I can't wait until then. She said that she should be home by tomorrow evening. Man I can't wait.

[kitchencop]

Spoiled until when? Will we get an email from corporate or something? How is all the news released and when?


I'm with you!!!!

[ChefTara]

Everyone keeps saying "wear walking shoes". Does that mean tennis shoes? I don't have any shoes that I would walk a lot in except tennis shoes and goodness knows it would not be a good time to break in new shoes! Would tennies be appropriate or not??:confused:

Tara

[mrssyvo]

Tennies are fine, if they allow you to walk LONG distances with out your feet hurting. I wore my Reebox (sp?) today, and it was fine.

[DebbieJ]

Hi Jeanine!!!

Nice meeting you!!

AND NO TELLING!!!

[jwpamp]

I will not share the news, except that you guys will be AMAZED. My first conference, and it was AWESOME !!!! It was a lot of walking, and late nights (I had my cluster staying ast my house with me, and I have had 12 hours sleep since Sunday) WORTH IT!!!!!
Yep, Doris said no sharing...but if you would have been in wave 1, your director should be talking to you about the new stuff soon! It's like christmas!

[agw]

Spoiled until when? Will we get an email from corporate or something? How is all the news released and when?
After Conference 3 is done, Home Office will send you the Fall/Winter Special Edition Consultant News. In it there will be gorgeous pictures of all the new stuff along with information about any new business material items, recruiting promotions, and the Host/Guest Specials for September and October.

As for spilling the beans? There's TOO MUCH! It just wouldn't be possible to give a nice, succinct, and complete accounting of everything. It will come, it WILL come! :)

[pampered_heathery]

I'd love to know the new products !!! Anyone that cares to share please email me at hyount@<hidden email>

Thanks !

[lizcooks4u]

Sure I'd like to know, but as others have said, Doris has sworn everyone to secrecy and besides, it's rude and unfair to those who are going and haven't heard yet, My cluster meeting is next Tues evening however I'm unable to attend as I'm currently working evening shift so I have to wait even longer.
Besides if everyone knows now, then who will want to buy much in August?
Time flies and it will be here before u know it!!!

Me too! I'm dying to know anything!!!

daleandlisa@<hidden email>

PS. Has anyone gotten an email with spoilers yet?

[apamperedone]

please include me for the new things. My email is apamperedone@<hidden email>. I went last year but to many things this year with family and health problems to go. Looking forward to next year though!!

[chefamanda]

HO will send out an email and post the new products on the website on the 20th, after the final conference is over.
Amanda

[chefamanda]

I don't know if anyone is actually sending out the info, but if so, I would love to know the new products (and any other announcements you want to share!). I'm still booking for July and August, so I won't be sharing anything with my customers yet anyway!
My email address is chefamanda@<hidden email>

Well, how come??!!:D Didn't you feel like walking miles, and going into labor at conference.. Talk about a surprise!! I bet you'd get some baby gifts from everyone!!

Sorry I couldnt' resist.. I understand completely.. My son just turned a year old, and I was miserable the last 4 months, could hardle move... Let alone walk around the house.. I couldn 't imagine going to conference and walking.. Good luck and I hope you have a smooth deleivery!!:)

[dannyzmom]

I would also love to hear any news that anyone is sharing I was totally planning on going to conference this year but being 37 weeks pregnant I did not see that being possible bjbroderick@<hidden email>

Wow - congrats and good luck for a smooth and painless delivery!!

[ChefBeckyD]

Jennie, That was me 2 yrs ago! Actually my son was due the week of conference, but ended up being born 5 weeks early - so I still didn't make it - couldn't leave my tiny preemie guy at home w/o his food source!
I wish you the best during these last weeks - keep your feet up:D

[PaulaReb]

If anyone is sending info...I would love to know more. paulareb@<hidden email>
Thanks so much!!

[Jennie4PC]

Thanks you guys I really cant wait to have this baby this pregnancy I have been pretty miserable. I know I would never be able to do all the walking they do at conference, and knowing my luck I would go into labor on the plane.

[HeatherZ]

I would love to learn about the new product too. Email me at heatherzkitchen@<hidden email>

And it is an integrity issue - at the end of closing session, everyone promises not to discuss anything revealed at conference until after wave 3 - the request for our promise comes directly from Doris and Marla.

[gilliandanielle]

They might delete this anyway, but people are blabbin' all over WLPCToo. That's how I got my info...

[lacychef]

OMGoodness! I know it's hard to wait, but I REALLY hope you all wave 1 people are NOT sharing! Sorry everyone, but I really think that is part of the experience, & I'm sorry if you can't go for whatever reason, but it is just not right to share! If you didn't go to conference you will get your KCN, or you can go to your director's meeting & they will tell all. I just can't believe that some would ruin the fun....& break your promise! I will not share! Sorry, I know it's exciting & hard to wait, but maybe those that can't attend, can next year...then you'll know the reasons why you shouldn't spill the beans.

[DebbieJ]

Folks from WLPCToo are sharing via private email, there is nothing being posted on that board.

[dannyzmom]

I have noticed a big difference between this board and WLPCToo...just the whole mood is different between boards. A lot mroe negativity over there in my opinion.

[Kelley Sells]

that THIS many women...(sorry Kitchen Guy) and we're all keeping the SECRET....LOL.....That is soooooo cool.....I'm heading out Sunday for wave 3 and I can't wait and I DON'T want to know, I want to be super surprised......
I'm so excited, and I just cant hide it.....woo hoo.....look out CHICAGO....:D :eek: :o :rolleyes: ;)

I am brand new to PC. I only have 2 shows booked so i havnt even ordered my starter package. I read this board and i get soooo excited about all the new products. i think it is awesome and I am excited that i get to "sell" the all new products in my first months. It actaully encouraged this recruit because it showed me that things are always changing and that is exciting to me. if it was the same catalogue for too long hen I would get bored with it!

[SummerG]

They might delete this anyway, but people are blabbin' all over WLPCToo. That's how I got my info...

Hi~What is the WLPCToo? Thanks!

[annaRN]

I also would love to know about the new products. Being single and with 3 kids, I was unable to go to the conference this year. Please feel to email me as well!! akrussellrn@<hidden email> Thanks!

[chefs2pamper]

I went to conference. I have only been a consultant since May - it was pretty fun. They had shuttle issues though!! Hopefully that will all be resolved with wave 2 and 3. Most of the new products are awesome!! Everyone will be thrilled!! I can't wait for September to get my hands on the new stuff!! I would reccomend recruiting new consultants July and August!!;)

[jcwarr]

i couldn't go to conference - i am on an island with minimal access to a phone and internet and willl not see my director until possibly october - my husband's job is taking us overseas for a bit. if someone would please email me any details from conference - new products etc i would be so appreciative!!! i wasn't going to ask - but i can't take it anymore!!! thanks!!!

[Chef Kearns]

Jen--In your change over kit which you will receive at the end of the month you will get a pack of catalogs and the Special Issue Kitchen Consultant News. Also, Wave 3 starts on Monday so there are only a few more suspenseful days.

I'm sure you can make it guys!! I know we sound like pains in the butt, but those are the rules. You won't be disappointed!

[ringocat22]

Hi all. If someone is emailing the new info, my address is ringocat22@<hidden email> . I had a falling out with my director and I don't go to the meetings anymore. Couldn't get to conference this year as I was sending dear husband off to Iraq for 18 months. Would love any info or pictures you may have. Thanks in advance! Michele:)

[Jenni32874]

I would also like to know the new info from conference.

Please email me at jennifercrum@<hidden email>

I need something to get me motivated to get back into the swing of things. Ive been out of the swing of things due to a severe ankle injury, and now need some motivation to start getting shows booked again. I think Ive gotten too used to sitting around over the past 2 months.

Hi. I was wondering what kind of shuttle problems you had. We had many in Wave 2 also.

Going to our Executive Dinner and the Director's Event our driver got lost, and made us late, even though we left really early. Turns out it was same driver both times, but it definitely wasn't fun. I had a third event leave McCormick on Day 1. I know there were other issues as well.

Conference was AWESOME, and I am definitely reinspired, but the shuttles were rough!

[pamperedalf]

That's funny because I didn't have one shuttle issue at conference. They were super fast!

[Harrle]

We only had one driver that took 'the long way' around but then she let me off at the corner of my 'non conf. hotel' when I was running late for our Exec dinner so I was okay with it.

I heard that on one of our HO tours the bus got lost and since the drive was extra long there was someone on that bus that got sick - I believe that was on day one - what a way to start off conference.:eek:

[lacychef]

We had a driver that didn't know where he was going too:( I was in the front, so I could hear him keep calling someone asking what street he should be on. Luckily we weren't late to anything though....well no, actually my friend was late to the breakfast of caring. Just a few minutes though, she didn't miss anything major.

[jdavis]

Going to our Executive Dinner and the Director's Event our driver got lost, and made us late, even though we left really early. Turns out it was same driver both times, but it definitely wasn't fun. I had a third event leave McCormick on Day 1. I know there were other issues as well.

The only problem I had was day 2 when I needed to go back to the hotel at lunch and the bus that was sitting there, finally he said he was going to lunch and another bus was coming, it took like 20 minutes, but it finally got there, then when I was waiting on it to come back to the hotel after lunch they were coming back with the guests and supporting spouses and they were supposed to stop at the other hotel and he passed it up and had to turn back around and we had to run to the other side of the building, ughh! I still missed part of the intro of the speakers, I hated that they were running the busses on the opposite side of the building from where the classes were being held.

[agw]

Ah, so 2nd session was also on opposite ends of McCormick Place? Yech. I was hoping for you guys that they would have gotten it into a better configuration. :\

[jdavis]

Nope, I said someting to one of the girls that was helping out from HO and she said there were 3 other companies doing a convention at MP during Wave 1 and I know there were 2 others at Wave 2. Busy place that McCormick Place, lol. And the whole town was jumpin'.

[jrstephens]

Conference is officially over on Wednesday right? So, Wednesday morning we can start talking about what info we have?

[pamperedalf]

I know this is jumping the gun, but if any wave 1 or 2 cheffers have already altered the going going gone flyer please email me a copy in word. I would greatly appreciate it. I am not going to have time before I leave! TIA

I was planning on taking the list, but having the pics makes it so much easier.

[gilliandanielle]

Conference is officially over on Wednesday right? So, Wednesday morning we can start talking about what info we have?
We are supposed to wait until Thursday (at least that is when Chef Success said that they will allow conference posts) so that the last conference is totally over.

[Cindycooks]

A thread above said a couple people are working on the flyer and will post it tomorrow evening. However - I forgot about modifying last years and I am headed to do so right now!!!

[jrstephens]

I have a flyer already complete with the aid of the list being sent to me from others I just added the pics. I would be glad to email it. Just give me your email address or email me at pamperyourchef@<hidden email> and i will reply with the list.

I could not have done this without the help of others, so, I cannot take all the credit for finishing it.

[chef tammyp]

ME TOOOO!!!! Can some one please email me with info from Conference. I was not able to attend this year. Any info would be greatly appreciated. cheftammy@<hidden email>

Thanks

[ItalianChef]

You all are probably desperate but not much time left before all of us are in BRAIN OVERLOAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jrstephens]

do you all think i could go ahead and post the discontinued flyer? it would be so much easier if everyone could just view it from here.

[DebbieJ]

NO--DO NOT POST ANYTHING YET.

Conference is not over until about 2 p.m. Central tomorrow (Weds the 19th). If you post anything it will be deleted.

[Harrle]

Unfortunately they know the new products but they will not know the discontinued until they receive their special edition Consultant News when they walk out of closing session tomorrow. (Unless they scoured the catalog to find every single one that wasn't in there!)

[Omarakeen]

I would love to in with the activites... also.
Email me at: omarakeen@<hidden email>
