pampered.chris said:Are you my director in disguise?! LOL. This is a GREAT question. I drive over 2 hours one way to get to a cluster meeting and i don't mind to drive it. I am always the first to say YES, I will be there!! Well tonight was to be the meeting...the last one was cancelled due to only one person coming...me. And this morning I get an email from my director saying sorry but the meeting is cancelled. I was the only one coming again!! I LOVE to go to the meetings and so wish my clustermates would feel the same way. Some of them earned Cookware points and never redemed them b/c they didn't know they earned them. HOw do you not know this stuff?!
So would you call that bad directing or bad consultants?!
I don't know how to motivate them to come and I am sure my director would LOVE to motivate them to just sell!!
Do you call them? I only get emails from my director and it would be nice to have an occassional call "hey how are you doing, how are your sales this month" etc.
Sorry I can't be of more help
Ginger428 said:WOW!! Chris..2 hours!! Where in PA are you? You can come to ours! Without realizing it, I started bringing something already made with me & we would all share at the end of the meeting (that was a little over a year ago) now every month they, I wonder what Gingers making for us this month....HTH

Another thing you can do is offer some sort of recognition for everyone who comes to the meeting (since people who aren't usually in the running for top seller probably aren't motivated by the recognition otherwise), and only give the goodies to the people who actually show up.

Ginger428 said:I forgot 1 more thing. They have everyone bring a new catalog & at the end of the night they pick a winner & they get all the cattys...
JAE said:I go because I get free stuff. I am pretty much the only person who ever goes. That's annoying. My director doesn't teach me anything but I like free stuff, so I go.
christinaspc said:Chris I know what you mean I was telling hubby after my last cluster meeting thinking that the 3 girls that did show up sure wished I didn't show up my director gave away new product for each thing you did. Well I had 5 things I was awarded for so I got 5 new products I am sure they are tired of me being on. I am sure they loved to hear that I am going to be doing my own meetings and probably only come every other month.
I am like you Chris sometimes it gets tiring being on top all the time with no compition and I feel like you do your director asking you to answer questions well I do the same thing. I feel like I am her partner in crime durning the meetin cause she always has me run a part not saying that I don't mind I guess I feel like sometimes the others don't like me much cause I do work so hard on my business.
Hope you all didn't think I was braggin.
christinaspc said:Dude I didn't want it to be braggin ..... I wanted it to be where more people from my cluster thrive to do better then me.

Hathery said:I'm a brand new consultant, so I haven't been to a cluster meeting yet (going tomorrow.) My director wants us to bring out list of 100, our cell phone, and our calendars. I think she's going to have us do calls at the meeting. Is this a usual thing to do at these meetings? I am really REALLY not comfortable making calls in front of people (not to mention I have talked to everyone I can talk to already--I'm not calling them again!) I definitely didn't sign on to be put through the wringer like that.
Cluster meetings are an important opportunity for team members to gather and connect with one another. These meetings provide a chance to share ideas, learn new skills, and build relationships with fellow Pampered Chef consultants. They also serve as a way to stay updated on company news and promotions.
Attendance at cluster meetings is important for several reasons. First and foremost, it allows team members to stay connected and engaged with the company and their fellow consultants. It also provides an opportunity to learn and grow as a consultant, as well as receive support and motivation from others in the Pampered Chef community.
One way to encourage attendance is by emphasizing the benefits of attending cluster meetings, such as the opportunity to connect with others and learn new skills. You can also offer incentives, such as raffle prizes or recognition, for attending meetings. Additionally, make sure to communicate the date, time, and location of the meeting well in advance so that team members can plan accordingly.
If a team member is unable to attend a cluster meeting, it's important to still keep them informed and involved. Consider sharing meeting notes or recording the meeting for them to watch later. You can also schedule a one-on-one meeting with them to catch up on any important information or updates discussed at the cluster meeting.
Cluster meetings are typically held once a month, but this can vary depending on your specific team and location. It's important to stay informed about upcoming meetings and communicate the schedule to your team members so they can plan accordingly.
