As of 1/1/10 I'm a Senior Consultant. As a matter of fact, as soon as my newest recruit qualifies I'll be a Team Leader. I'm really excited to be able to help other people achieve their goals.
 
Awesome! Congratulations Rae!
 
Wahoo!!! I know it has been a long time coming Rae! You will be an awesome leader! Way to go!
 
Whooooo Hoooooo!

And another thing you'll really love are those Home Office Leads! :-)
 
Welcome to the club! I would have thought you were a member a long time ago ;)

Do they have to have qualified for you to be TL or just signed? I can't remember b/c with the old system they just had to sign for you to be a future. You may be a TL already, just not getting "paid as." Then there's the whole other level to qualify for HO leads. It can get confusing. I have to keep referencing back once in a while to make sure I'm staying qualified for the HO leads.
 
Congrats!!! WHOO-HOO!
 
Yeah, congratulations.
 
WAH HOO!! Congrats!
 
Congrats Rae! You deserve it! :D

I've been sad! I haven't received one since before Christmas!

Congrats Rae!
 
Congratulations Rae - I know your recruits will kick booty with you as their mentor!
 
Congratulations, Rae!! You'll do great as a leader ... you're so good at helping others!
 
Congratulations Rae!

Thanks so much! You guys are great. Becca, to the best of my knowledge they have to have both qualified and I have to submit $750 in sales to be promoted. I'll be submitting those sales later this week. I could be wrong, though. It's been a while since I read through the rules. Now you've got me curious. I might have to go and look those up. :)
 
Actually, don't they just have to be ACTIVE to count? Or is it different for TL's and above? I know when I promoted to SC, it was just 'active'= so just $150+ and then I promoted.I'm looking at the Chart now:
$750 personal sales
$2500 cluster sales
2 "Active" linesCongrats!!

I would think that they would have to have qualified to be considered active. Wouldn't they? And, my sales count toward my cluster sales. Right? I'm perfectly comfortable asking my director or even my upline this question, but since I'm here . . .
 
Nope, active just means that they have turned in $150 for the month.

Your sales do count for cluster sales. So, when you turn in your $750, have two lines that turn in $150 and overall sales of $4000, you'll be team leader. And, when you qualify as TL in January, you'll promote in February, but they'll back pay you for January too.

You meant $2500 right? Director is the $4000 cluster sales...
 
The chart does say Active Consultants, so as soon as they submit $150 in sales, they count. They have to "qualify" for you to earn the 2000 points for the incentive trip.

HO leads requirements on the other hand are slightly different:

Home Office Leads
To be eligible to receive Home Office leads, a Team Leader must have an e-mail address on file with the Home Office, and submit a minimum $1,250 in personal commissionable sales in three of the last four months (not including the current month), and recruit one new Consultant in the same time period. Leads are assigned via e-mail, using an automated system that matches inquiries to a nearby Team Leader or above.

Woo hoo, then I should be a Team Leader by the end of the month. Crystal, the $4,000 is for Directors. For Team Leaders it's only $2,500. :)

Oh yeah, my bad. :D I've been watching that closely b/c I'm really close to promoting!

PS - I've been really close to promoting for a while, for whatever that means. :)
 
Keep up the great work Rae!!! :D
 
Woohoo!! You're right - they only have to be active, meaning they have to submit $150 in sales. I promoted as of Jan 1 - and was paid in December as a Team Leader.

CONGRATULATIONS!
 
Congrats Rae! :DYes, both recruits just have to be "active", not qualified - $2,500 in cluster sales & $750 in personal sales. FWIW, I keep thinking $4,000 in cluster sales too because I'm also working on the Director level. ;)
 
Congrats Rae! Your recruits are blessed to have you! As long as both submit $150 for the month, and you meet the team sales, you are considered TL. They do not have to be qualified, just active.

Whoo Whoo! Enjoy the perks!
