Reading the fine print, the conference company that I was planning to use is going to be too expensive for me to do an 800 number (where I pay the per minute/per caller fee). So I'm looking at non-800 numbers, to get the free service. That would mean that those of you calling in might have to pay a long distance fee (looks like it would be a west coast number) if you don't have unlimited long distance on your phone. However, the company that I found provides on-line playback! Which means that those of you calling in, could listen to it online & not have to dial a phone number to listen to the recording. :D

Assignments before starting:

Post Your Goals!
As I said before, I know that everyone's goals are different. Some may be looking at $500 more per month on their paychecks and some may be looking at Director by the end of the year. So please post your goals below for this course.

This is it! :D
 
I will be listening to the playback. I sent you an e-mail! We recently moved and I need to rebuild! By the end of 5 weeks, I would like to be up to 2 shows per week. End of 2010 - re-qualify as director. End of 2011 - Advanced Director.Thanks for organizing this!
 
Thanks so much for doing this. My email address is [email protected]

I'm very new, and the hardest thing for me has been asking. It all sounded so great in theory, all those months reading the board and learning. But I almost studied too much. So I have to get back to basics.

My goal is to fill my calendar. I want to do an average of 4 shows every month. So by the time the 5 weeks are up, I want to be booked with at least 4 shows a month through December, and working on January.

And I want to get more organized with my host coaching, too.

Edited after reading the entries of others:
Where would you like to be with your business at the end of the 5 week course?
I will book at least 4 shows a month through the end of this year and maintain this pace in 2011.

Where would you like to be with your business at the end of 2010?
I will promote to Team Leader

Where would you like to be with your business at the end of 2011
?
I will promote to Director by Conference 2011, and walk across that stage. It is scary to even say this, but if I don't aim for it I certainly won't get there!
I will continue to have FUN in this business.

I will be listening to the playback and just sent you an e-mail.

I am excited to get back in the swing of things after quite a break. I will have at least 2 shows a week. My goal is to work PC to a full time business.
 
I'd like to join - listening to the playback. [email protected]I'm new as well & having trouble asking. I'd like to step out of my own way & fill my calendar. Ideally, that would mean 4-5 shows per month.Teera
 
Hey all!
Sheila, I just emailed you to be added, please. :)My goals are at the end of 5 weeks to have my calendar full for the remainder of the year (2 shows per week minimum). By the end of 2010...to have added 6 new consultants to my personal cluster and 3 to each of my director teams.
My other major goal is to promote to Senior Director before National conference 2011. It's time. BTW....did everyone know that conference club for 2011 is open?
 
Hello, all! I'd love to join you. * Where would you like to be with your business at the end of this 5 week course?
No more using kids as excuse. I want 16 shows booked and to have held at least 5 shows in the next 5 weeks. This will help me build my team and directorship; no more future/senior/team leader ad infinitum. * Where would you like to be with your business at the end of 2010?
By the end of 2010 I want to have a full show calendar [2 shows/week] with at least 5 shows booked for January 2011, and to have hired an every-2-weeks house cleaner as soon as November 20. * Where would you like to be with your business at the end of 2011? By 2011 I want to have at least 2 directors on my team, and have a solid show schedule where I can actually pass shows to my downline consultants/directors. I want my entire family to see me walk at conference (or Spring Launch?!) and to make whatever incentive trip PC offers in 2011 for 2012. Financially I want to see my PC paychecks match my teaching paycheck for at least 6 months.

If my kids will be in bed I plan on on being on the call. Otherwise I'll listen to the playback. :) * Where would you like to be with your business at the end of this 5 week course? Consistently getting shows booked from my shows that I already have scheduled. Consistently working my business.

Hello!
I would love to be added to the call! I just emailed you Sheila!

1. I am a brand new PC Consultant! By the end of these 5 weeks I would like to have filled my calendar for the rest of year with at least 1 show per week, preferably two.

2. By the end of 2010 I want to have had 16 show and recruited 2 people.

3. By the end of 2011 I want to have made PC my full-time job with 4-8 shows per month.
 
Where would you like to be with your business at the end of this 5 week course?
I would like to reach the $1500 level in November - something to which I've never come close previously. I'd like to have at least 1 more show in October (I only have 1 right now), and 4 in November.

Where would you like to be with your business at the end of 2010?
I'd like to end the year with an average of at least $1500 per month.

Where would you like to be with your business at the end of 2011?
I'd like to walk as Director, and make enough extra to pay off some of our debts.

None of these goals can be reached until I get over myself, and start opening my mouth.
 
I would love to be able to listen to the playback. By the end of the 5 week course I would love to have the confidence to just ask people if they are interested in purchasing, hosting, selling. I would also like to have 1 show a week to start to end this year and work towards getting 2 shows per week in the new year. My email address is [email protected]Thank you for organizing this. :love:

I just emailed you...I'm planning to be on the call (but I might have to switch to playback if my family ends up doing something together...Sunday nights are occasionally "Family Night").
By the end of the 5 weeks, I hope to have my calendar full for the rest of 2010. It's pretty empty right now. I would love to have at least 1 show a week...and extra shows in November.
By the end of 2010, I hope to have earned some Spring products and have the first part of 2011 booked. Also want my second recruit to have qualified and my first recruit to have a more full calendar.
By the end of 2011 I'd like to have a couple more recruits and a consistently full calendar.
 
Where would you like to be with your business at the end of this 5 week course?
I would like to reach the $1500 level in November - I've reached this level before and know I can this. To reach this, I will need a minimum of 5 shows booked in November.

I want to consistently do $1250 a month, and build my team, so I can get HO leads. Where would you like to be with your business at the end of
2011?

I want to be a Director, going on my first Pampered Chef destination trip.
 
5-week goal:
- have a structure and the confidence for consistent host coaching
- book 1 cooking show/week
- have a plan (and follow through with it) to follow up with recruit leads
End of 2010 goal:
- have earned SAT Level 2
- have January booked at 1 show/week

End of 2011 goal:

Please include me in the playback. 11:00 pm EST is too late for me, so I'll be listening in on the playback. I'm up at 5:30 a.m., and also go to college too.



Thanks!
 
I'm in! 11 p.m. EDT is NOT too late for me ... I was afraid it would be earlier!

My goal is to a) have about 2 shows a month b) have $15,000 in career sales by the end of the year. Since there are only 3 months until the end of the year and I'm about $2,400 away, that's $800. Yikes!
 
* Where would you like to be with your business at the end of this 5 week course?
I would like to go from one to two shows a month to 4-6. I would like to book more shows at my cooking shows. I want to do customer care calls and bookings calls like an expert.

* Where would you like to be with your business at the end of 2010? A consistent show schedule of 6 shows a month. I'd want to be a SOLID team leader working towards director.

* Where would you like to be with your business at the end of 2011?
I want to be a director, actively helping others and training in my cluster. I'd like to have die hard clients that order and host regularly. I want a reputation for taking care of my customers.

Hmmm.... I didn't have any problems at all. Anyone else?
 
IC, I uploaded both the pre-session assignments to pdfescape.com and filled them in there, then downloaded and saved to my computer. I'm not suggesting you do all that (I just don't want to use the ink and paper), but if you're having trouble printing from the PC site, you can upload to pdfescape, download, and print. Don't print without downloading, though - you'll get the header from the website if you do (well, won't really matter on this, but doesn't look when printing flyers and OOFs for host packets, haha).
 
It may be my stupid browser. Every time I pull up this, or the script, I get a message about Internet Explorer having a problem and needing to close. I'll try again, or tomorrow. Probably didn't help that I changed a printer cartridge after pulling up the list of 100.

I know what you mean. Putting them in black & white - especially for others to see - means you actually intend to work towards them, right?
 
We were unable to return you to pamperedchef.com.

Internet Explorer has stopped trying to restore this website. It appears that the website continues to have a problem.

Hopefully it won't have a problem tomorrow.

Yes! And now I'll have to be accountable to them.... We can do it, though! I have H.O.P.E. (Having only Positive Expectations).
