Did anyone else take them up on their offer if you paid off your balance; you'd get a check? Called today to find out when I might expect the check, and it will be 90 days from the date of the expiration offer. So even thou I transferred my balance in Aug, the check won't be mailed until Jan...

"Jenni has never had an original idea" I was talking about all of the ideas for fall themes shows, booking ideas etc. I pass a LOT of stuff along to my team, feeling that more is better... let them weed through and pick what they want to use. I tell them what I do but want them to have...

My host called me this morning and cancelled her show that was scheduled for TONIGHT. She said her husband was sick and he couldn't move and needed to take him to the ER. I completely understand that so I am trying to not to get upset. My husband had to go to the store this morning (before...

I had two shows yesterday, one at 2pm and one at 6:30pm. When I got to the second one the girl was pulling out the ingredients and mentioned "I hope you have a can opener because mine is terrible" I responded with "yes I brought mine and it is part of the special this month" To make a long...

VERY FRUSTRATED right now... I have had 10 cancellations in the past few weeks...my sales are half what they were in September and November is looking sad. I am so angry at inconsiderate, rude, and down right awful people. I am tired for people thinking their time is more valuable than mine. I...

Overall, I really don't mind the new CC layout. I don't love it, but for the most part, I can find what I need. The only part I HATE is how they have the Recipe section now. Can't tell you how long it took me to find the recipes that were on the Spring Marketing Guide. Where is the Spring...

So this is a new one and now I'm kind of irritated. A new consultant signed 8/15. In her kit were only spring summer cattys. She did a show in Aug making her active. She has a show next week and hasn't gotten her fall changeover box. She called HO and was told she had to order it through...

So I just have to get this off my chest to people who would "get it". My day job is an airline phone center, for the most part we work from home but I have to drive into the office once a week. Last night I went in and in a few of the break rooms I put some catalogs out (since I have a ton and...

Since I can't say these things to my team, I need to get it out here....feel free to add your own vents :cry: Answer my email, phone call, text, fb message! dammit! Seriously, you invited 'everyone you know' and not one of them rsvp'd to you? No-one wants to host? You have over 300 fb...

I have had a rash of customers who have clicked on the "Unsubscribe" at the bottom of my e-Newsletter sent from Customer Connection and who have e-mailed me that they are still getting mailings from me (thru Customer Connection). I manually go to P3 and removed them, went into my e-mail and...

Okay so I just got back from the worst show ever. The host did not send any invites or e-vites, only used FB which I discouraged her from doing but she did anyway. Then I show up at her house 15 miles away 1.5 hrs after I left my house because of traffic. Thankfully I leave myself an hr drive...

I have to vent...the LAST month I thought we would be dealing with this but no I over estimated AGAIN. My personal: Out of my 17, 12 are active (number 13 was supposed to submit last night...my 2nd SC that would at least make pay D) I have met ALL of my other requirements except for...

I usually don't vent on here but find myself trying to figure out the best way of handling this. A couple of years ago at a vendor fair someone who then sold Tupperware wanted to trade catalog shows with me and I gave in. I got some orders that were done on her website and my show didn't...

Why plan a meeting when you can't get any RSVPs? They don't return calls or reply to emails. In order to have a meeting I have to send my kids to stay at their Dad's for the night...I miss my son's baseball game...I clean my house, prepare my training segments, compile recognition... and...

The level of CS has gone really downhill since I started in March '08. :thumbdown: It's hard to get issues resolved when they first open (10PM for me), as no one seems to be "at their desk". I leave messages, and no one calls back. I e-mail and no one responds. I actually e-mailed a 5TH...

I'm new PC and I love everything about the business, but I must say i was disappointed today when i made a realization upon submitting my 3rd show. Why does a half priced item or host special not count towards commissionable sales??? It doesnt seem to make any sense. I thought i must be wrong...

What do you do differently to get more self-motivated/go getters/non-hobbiest as team members? We just had our back to business meeting and I wanted to do goals and ask them what they wanted as recognition cause nothing seems to motivate them and it was the biggest negative downer session I...

My sister just yelled at me for regifting. It really hurt my feelings. I don't have anyone else to vent to so I picked you guys. I don't feel like typing out the whole story but the short of it is that we gave her daughter a movie for Christmas that someone else had given my son for his...

Dear Cooking Show Guest, Next time you come to one of my cooking shows it would be really great if you did NOT get sh*tface-drunk, talk over me, engage everyone around you in loud boisterous conversation thus upsetting the 8 ladies there who actually WERE interested in what I had to say...but...

I have a new consultant who signed in November. We scheduled her grand opening for this coming Saturday. I do my new consultant's first shows with/for them to get them the booking and recruit leads. A little background about this person. She hosted a show 15 months ago and has been coming...

I am so frustrated and disappointed today. I had a recruit who signed at the beginning of August- she is a former consultant and was SO excited about getting back into the biz. Came to our first team meeting after she signed, was awesome, so enthusiastic, the whole nine yards. I saw so much...

So I sat down for so much needed booking calls (not that my calendar doesn't look great but there are some people that I needed to follow up with). I had a customer of mine in May say that her mom wanted to host a show. I have tried over and over since then to get a hold of her. I've left...

:cry:I have had 4 recruits in my almost 2 years in PC and I am down to one, and they will go inactive in a couple months. One signed and then called me from the psych ward (bipolar, meds were out of kilter) when she was supposed to be training with me and lining up her shows. One started strong...

So I love the outlet for the random out of nowhere sales that come my way when I send out a newsletter mentioning them. But I hate when the items are so cheap that the shipping costs more than the item. I sent out my outlet newsletter two days ago and have received 5 emails from people who...

So my new recruit tried to sign up last night - apparently her agreement didn't go through. Because we no longer get notification when it does go through, I didn't know that it wasn't showing as submitted. We're going to complete it today, but yesterday was the last day for conference 3...

Maybe I must have missed something when it comes to processing returns and exchanges. If I do this for customers, I normally, which honestly I have been doing for the last 8 years, put more than one return in a box. I did this for my last two in the last 2 month... each box had 2 items in...

I had a past host call last week- From May- she was high maintenance to begin with, demanded a date I said I really couldn't do because it was literally the day after we got back from a two week vacation, and ALWAYS calls around 7:45 am. So I have told her repeatedly I turn my ringer off before...

My daughter has a friend who began renting a house in our neighborhood. The family does not have a pool key yet. Last night I was away at a Tastefully Simple party. My hubby decided to take the kids to the pool. My daughter was about to call her friend to invite her to go with them. However...

I just need to vent for a minute. I really am frustrated w/ making calls. No matter what time of day I call, I get machines. Here I am at home ALL day long and whenever I try people no one answers. I have children climbing all over me and making noise most of the time during the day, so my...
