Anyone Else Having a Love/Hate Relationship

Click For Summary
Consultant Connection has become a central hub for tracking business activities, but users express frustration over the frequent inaccuracies and delays in updates. Many find that information is often incorrect or missing for about one-third of the month, complicating daily business operations and coaching calls. Specifically, the performance tracker does not reflect real-time data, leading to challenges in managing teams effectively without feeling like they are micromanaging. The platform updates daily at 2 PM, but there are concerns about the responsiveness in updating inactive consultants and the overall user experience, which requires navigating multiple sections to access relevant information. Users are encouraged to bring their concerns to tech support during conferences for potential resolutions, though some have resigned to waiting for updates to improve.

with Consultant Connection? I love how much info is available in 1 place now... I hate that it is not correct for basically 1/3 of the month! How can I work my business when on a day to day basis the info at the beginning of the month is wrong or missing.

Half my cluster is not even in CC this morning!!! How can I make coaching calls when they are not even there!!:grumpy:
 
YES! I don't like the performance tracker not being up-to-date the next day... especially when I am tracking my downline.I suppose I could call them but it makes me feel like I am micromanaging them when I call and say, "Did you submit any sales and if so, what were they?"Takes the independence away from them.
 
they aren't there because they are classified as inactive. Just check the include inactive consultants and it will show you everyone. I don't know how quick they are updating/adding new people and I know you have a lot lately so I am not positive it will help there but it should be better.

I agree that things aren't updated quick enough. Hopefully it's still a bug thing that they are working to fix. Write all you questions and concerns down for conference and then take the time to talk to the tech guys. I do it every year and most of the time they are really helpful. Sometimes I don't like the answer but at least I have an answer and have a reason to let it go cause I know it won't change. Good luck with your calls today.

mine are not inactive... it is my recently promoted D line that disappeared
 
They are not part of your personal cluster once you promote a director. They are now part of your 1st generation. You need to look under director summary, click on the director and then you can go into their performance tracker to see what their team is doing.

Yes, Jenni, I too am having that kind of relationship. It seems as if the company gets one thing running well, then they change it and it takes much longer to having it work correctly and to understand all of it's "quirks"

she is not showing under my director summary either... guess just waiting is the game now.
 
FYI, Consultant Connection is updated at 2pm every week day. And, as always, the month is supposed to be closed out by the 10th of the following month.

I do too and keep telling myself that I'll get used to it! :grumpy:
 
Me three! And if I click on an individual consultant's info, that's all it goes back to when I click on anything else. Does anyone else have that problem?

My director is doing a new thing--submit your shows early in the month and go into a drawing as long as it shows up on CC before the 10th. LIKE WE HAVE CONTROL OVER WHEN IT SHOWS UP????

Is she waiting a day or so after the 10th for this info to show up? Hopefully she is. I had over $800 in cluster sales show up on my tracker for days but the breakdown was not accurrate until yesterday.

My director is doing a "green by 15" promo with us that I like (even though I won't meet it this month by the 15th:rolleyes:)
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean to have a love/hate relationship with Pampered Chef?

Is it common for consultants to experience this type of relationship with direct sales?
