vwpamperedchef

Anyone in Wave One take any notes on new products, discontinued products etc?

THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO COULD ACCOMODATE ME! I APPRECIATE THE EFFORTS!

TIA

I wasnt able to go because I am going to meet my husband next month in England for his mid-tour leave..saving all my $ for that!

Sorry, Marla and Jean asked us not to tell. I am not sharing info and I hope that others who attended will respect our leaders wishes and not tell either. Wave 2 just began and Wave 3 hasn't even left home yet.

Is everything posted on the CC on the 20th?

The only thing I will tell is a tip-

Go to Merrill 1st....get your stuff, they run out of the special they are offering really fast!

I just want to know for my own personal being. Im not telling anyone else. Sheesh.

I am just wanting to know the September Host/Guest specials, as I have a vendor event this weekend. However, it they include new products, then I don't want to know. It doesn't even start until Wave 3 is over on Saturday. Any help would be appreciated.

try not to take it as a personal attack... deb is right though... we are asked to be quiet and not say anything to anyone... the people who have to wait for all of these announcements and paid to go to conference really want to know before others that do not go... it doesn't mean your bad or shame on you that you didn't go... I've been where you are and have not been able to go a few of my years... just try to understand it from the peoples view point that paid for it and want to know first... that is suppossed to be part of the fun of going... now I'm not lecturing you so don't jump me for this... i'm just trying to explain..... but like i said, I have been where you are and I understand, but try to understand the position we are in too!

As a first timer - I totally agree with Cathy. I'm the one that HATES surprises and LOVE to spoil the fun HOWEVER in this case, it's only fair as we agreed to not say anything. At this point, a few more days won't kill anyone. It's not worth even discussing. It's like Christmas...Santa will bring good things all in due time.

IDK why but this year it seems to be totally HUSH HUSH, for everyone?!?! As the years past, people were wiling to share? IDK ?

Maybe because next year is the 30th.. don't know for sure since I didn't go to conference. I will find everything out this Saturday at my cluster meeting..

crystalscookingnow

I'm sure that I'll get something for this... but what I always took from conference was that you weren't allowed to tell for the chance that it might ruin it for someone going to conference after you. I get that.

What I don't get is why PC encourages consultants to bring stamps & purchase mini-catalogs to mail out info to customers from conference. For example, there is a downline in the next town over that is in Wave 1 this year. I have some friends in that next town that are customers of mine. Some of their friends already know info & have seen a mini catalog. Customers already know & I don't. I don't get that at all.

I also don't get how it's ok that directors come home & have cluster meetings today or tomorrow. The consultants in that group didn't go to conference either but they're learning info before the end of wave 3.

I agree, Crystal. My thoughts exactly.

i understand why TPC wants to maintain the drama of revealing the new products, theme shows, and incentives to each wave at NC. Last year was my first NC and I was in Wave 1. I did not feel at all like I would have been giving away anything or ripping myself off if I had told my non-attending clustermates or other PC friends about the new stuff...if they asked. Of course I would not want to spoil it for anyone who did not want to know.

I stated in another thread that the main benefits of attending NC are the things you aren't going to get after it's all over - networking, learning from the best, and the motivation that comes from with 2,000 cheering PCers.

Just my opinion

Excellent point Crystal and Susan. I would love to get the great workshops etc. at conference, but for our family it is simply not an option. I dont' think anyone wants to spoil the surprise for those who are able to be there, but I'm not sure how knowing product info. is a benefit reserved for those who can attend? oh well...

Saturday Gourmet

The main thing I am wanting to know is what is the host special for September and the Consultant Recruiting Rewards for July and August. I have several bookings and a couple of recruit leads waiting on the info.

vwpamperedchef

I updated my initial post, as some were generous enough to share. I agree with Crystal, as to PC selling mini's and customers seeing the info before other PC consultants.

I am not trying to "ruin" it for anyone. I just wanted the info for myself. I could see if I said "post everything on CS" but I didn't. I asked for it to be emailed directly to me.

In addition, there are many people who are in the SAME BOAT as me, with other reasons like me, who could not attend. In years past, most everyone was willing to "share" the information.

In the past there were "emails" that went out to consultants from Conference about products...that was last year.

I would have been in Wave 1, which is why I was asking.

Anyway, I got what I sought out for. Thank you to those who assisted. I thank you for your insight.

I think your dead on Susan! I don't know why but this year there has been a lot of nasty! Basically if you don't go to conference then your looked down upon. I feel really bad for all those people who couldn't go because times are tough, those are the people who need the info the most to build their businesses and be able to improve their situations. I don't care if anybody disagrees with me, but this has been the vibe on here and I am really disappointed with a few people on here. That being said I don't think that the information should have been given out via threads but privately. I can't believe that some customers know the new products before some consultants

Now the really amusing part for me is that our conference isn't until next month and there is always just a few things that are different from the US. But hay that doesn't matter right? We are just those idiots up north!!

heat123

ITA completely! CS is not what it used to be!

vwpamperedchef

I TOTALLY AGREE ALSO HEATHER!! I have not been on CS much lately, because of the "nasty-ness" (if that's even a word) on here. Its a shame really...

babywings76

Totally agree. We can't post the news here, and that's totally understandable and fine. But when people ask for the scoop for whatever reason, people just slam them. Not everyone has, but there has been a tone that has been quite harsh.

I think as long as you don't ruin the surprise for those attending, it's okay to fill people in. It's just one week difference. My enjoyment of Conference isn't "ha ha I know and you don't". It's getting the excitement of being at the center of all the excitement, seeing how they introduce things. Feeling the motivation and inspiration from listening to the speakers during general sessions and learning something from the workshops. Networking, and learning, getting some freebies. That's what's important. Someone else not attending and knowing things wouldn't ruin my fun or lessen the importance of my attending. I think the message Marla and Jean say at the end is totally about not ruining their hard work of keeping things fun and exciting and awesome for the next waves....We are supposed to come home and get to work and be excited. I think it's natural to share the news with those who couldn't attend and really want to know. It's not like they'll do some special exciting release video or something on CC and people knowing before hand will ruin things. Everyone is going to be just as excited, even if they know the scoop, because they'll get to SEE it then!
