Achieving My $30,000 in Career Sales: A 5 1/2 Year Journey

[momoftwins]

I have been doing PC for 5 1/2 years and after I attended conference in 2004 I swore I was going to hit my $15,000 in career sales finally. Well I did it that year (can't remember exactly when). I was pregnant with my twins in 2005 and could not travel and they were too little for me to go last year. Well with my last show I submitted for February I just made $30,000 in career sales by $12!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woo Hoo! Do you get anything special at conference for $30,000 in career sales????? I also finally am up to show #102! Slow and steady wins the race!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think you get a pin on your name badge. At $50k you get invited to Career Club lunch.

I think you get a Career Sales Pin. I am pin and ribbon motivated. Pampered Chef is GREAT on knowing that recognition makes us want more! Keep at it and you'll get your Career Sales Ribbon before you know it!

Congratulations!

You don't get anything at conference for $30k career (or $15k career, either, for that matter). You'll get a career club ribbon at $50k career sales.

Here's some of the conference bling:
ribbons for FD and above
ribbon for workshop presenter
ribbon for TPC
ribbons for committees (new products, promotions, etc.)
ribbon for career club sales ($50k +)
ribbon for career club recruiting (25 +)
pin for $15k sales in that year
pin for $30k sales in that year
pin for recruiting in that year
button for 5+ year anniversary
button for 1st time attendee
button for earned/on track for incentive trip
lanyard for HWC/RUFTH donations

Please tell me what TPC means. I've seen it on here a few times, but don't know what it means!! Thank You!!

Top Performance Cluster

There are six categories in which you can earn TPC. When you achieve it for the first time, you get a ruby ring. Each year you achieve it again, you get a diamond added to the ring. If you achieve in more than one category, you also get a piece of luggage. If you achieve in five or six categories, you get other bling--a handcrafted bowl or a ???? I don't remember. It's all on CC.

Yeah! I didn't know we got one for turning in so much in a year! I turned in $42k in sales last year so I guess I will get the $30k in one year pin!! Cool!! I love recognition from PC!!!

 

[mommyhugz1978]

I guess I will get a recuritting pin this year...... dont' they give you a ribbion for FD as well??

 

[pamperedgirl3]

Are the 15K & 30K pins for Jan-Dec or Jul-Jun? Sometimes I get confused for what they consider a year! Incentive points are one & TPC is another!

 

[chefann]

The sales and recruiting pins at conference are either June-May (TPC year) or July-June, I can't remember which.

Yes, you get a pink ribbon for FD.

Yes, you get a pink ribbon for FD.

The year is June to May for National Conference awards (ribbons, pins, TPC, etc.)

I have a question. When they said we will get a lanyard for HWC I thought that was a ribbon. Am I wrong? And if I am please do tell what a lanyard is!

There is also a button for New Director and if you are on track for a trip or have already earned a level.

A lanyard is the "necklace" to hold your name badge. I wear one at work with my badge, because I don't always have on an outfit with a convenient place to clip my badge - it's easier to wear it around my neck.

Thanks for posting all of that Ann - that is great to know!

So if I attend conference this year (I really want to just need to check with hubby and work out details, expenses, etc) I will get a $30k pin?? Sweet!!! I was really bummed when I did finally hit $15K but then was unable to go to conference that year. I wanted that pin!

Sharisse,

There isn't a pin for $30k career sales. It's for selling $30k in one year. Sorry. Same with the $15k pin - not career sales, but sales in one 12-month period.

I'm so glad you asked this! I was feeling kinda blonde because I didn't have a clue what a "lanyard" was when you all were talking about it before!

 

[gilliandanielle]

I am so bummed that I am going to miss out on all the cool badges and pins at conference! I can't go this year because I am not bringing/leaving home an 4-8 week old baby but I am going to hit all my fun stuff before the next conference.

 

[yummy4tummy]

Do they give out "booby prizes"? Like for most rejections or anything. I think I would qualify for that. LOL

 

[gilliandanielle]

LMAO Valky!!

They should have a worst show essay contest!

TPC is from 06/01/06 — 05/31/07 always June to the following May . You can go on CC go to incentives then check under my TPC calender . This will track how you are doing till May and it will also brake down how much you need to do till May on Sales ect ... I check it just like I check my TPC and monthly sales daily .... Its getting close will see a few months to go
I WANT THAT RUBY RING

 

[Kathytnt]

So I would need to have done 15k for 6/1/06-5/31/07 for the 15K button I did my first show 4/1 and hit 15K but my two 1000+ shows were in my first two months I better get cracking huh

By the looks of the calendar I need 2532 to meet that goal Wish me luck

 

[chef131doreen]

55,000 in that time to get TPC in sales
