What is cluster: Definition and 127 Discussions

I'm fairly new at Pampered Chef and still finding new recipes. My problem is that my director wants us to bring a prepared recipe to our cluster meeting tomorrow night. After it's made (at my home), it will be almost an hour and a half before we eat. I don't want a dessert and I would prefer...

Ok, I am confused. I just got a cluster newsletter from my director. There is information about my directors ladies under her and other ladies. Will someone explain to me what is a cluster? Is my director in a group of a few other directors??? :o:confused::(

Quite a while ago I got this flier from HO. It is a little outdated because it is based on the sales levels of $1000, $1250, $2500 and $5000. But it is still very effective in tracking how your cluter is doing. I especially like to use it with a report from the old Pampered Partner called...

Ok....I had a great idea the other day (well...at least I think it's a great idea)..... I have about 15 people "sitting on the fence" right now. I have two active recruits, and my host from last night is using host benefits for her kit....which leaves me to get just 2 between now and the end...

We hosted our monthly cluster meeting at our home last evening. Everyone was asked to make a dish to share & I had the luxury of using my own kitchen, so I decided to make a variation of a dish we saw on the Food Network Show, "Cooking For Real." Sunny Anderson made this recipe with shrimp...

I'm in the process of trying to join Director's Success. In the meantime...I'm struggling a bit in trying to access sales/etc..info. on my team for PRIOR months ( not for April)... It doesn't seem to give me the option to choose the month, it seems to default to the current month...

So last night my hospitality director called & asked if I would do a game at cluster on Saturday. What we came up with was a twist on "Queen of the Shoppers" whereby as consultants find the named item, they have to share a tip regarding that product. our thinking was 1) this will help us all...

What a subject line... anyway... I'm supposed to be out finishing the clean up of my storage barn... but I'm in avoidance mode... I'd rather be making PC phone calls! BUT... I must perevere and finish the place... I got a LONG way yesterday! I am trying to come up with a name for my soon to be...

If you could decide what was addressed at YOUR cluster's meeting in January - what would YOU like to see? hear? learn? discuss?

So when you join a cluster as hospitality what exactly are you supposed to get from the relationship? I have joined a group and my AD said something about the leader doing more than she was "supposed" to do. Not in a bad way but that I should be step up more and help with the meetings by...

So last night I attended my director's cluster meeting. There were only 2 of us who are actually "in here line", the other 3 are hospitality. this was a really laid back meeting, it was more of a Christmas party. But I've got to admit, that the 3 that are hospitality are soooo awesome. They...

Nice ending to a stressful week. We got home today after spending the week in the hospital with my 13 year old diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (doing good now and home). I checked my voice mail. I had a message from a lady who saw my ad in town. Her daughter wants help joining PC. She's on a...

My director is an Advanced Director. A director in her first line just promoted to Advanced Director today. Is she still under the original director...in her first line? Im just wondering how all this works. The way this consultant that promoted today is going, she will be a Senior...

If you were a director (or maybe your are:D ) how many consultants in attendance would you require to have a cluster meeting? My Director all year has claimed that there is not anyone interested in a meeting, so she hasn't done any. (I still don't believe that she has even tried to get...
