There is an awful lot of teasing going on around here. Would someone PM me with a hint? I Is this something that will be beneficial to all or just those who have had successful businesses this year? When will we find out? Today or tomorrow?

You will find out today...everyone will be getting an email, and it will also be posted on Consultant's Corner.

This is something that can potentially be beneficial to any consultant. Some more than others today. :)

The problem is that only Directors and above know right now...and we've been asked to remain quiet about it. Most of us will likely honor that request. But you don't have long to wait.
 
I don't like surprises lol. Even when they are good!! Now I am going to be checking my email every 5 seconds until I get it!!
 
Amen Becky and Beth, I have been on cloud nine since the call on Friday. I keep telling my husband to pinch me bc I can hardly believe it. I am so surprised it is just now comign up on Chefsuccess, that tells me how much respect people have for Jean and her wishes for everyone to be personally contacted by email from Home Office!!
 
Seriously people. You are killing me lol!!
 
It is really sweet of everyone to keep the secret, but for those of us not lucky enough to be Directors it was not fair to tease us. I think everyone should have waited till tomorrow to bring it up when the majority of us would have found out about it. Now it is more of a nana boo boo I know something and you don't. I am not good with surprises either. I am sure this is a great surprise. I just wish I had a hint.
 
:eek:I am getting no work done today at my full time job - I keep going back and forth between here and CC..........ARGHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek:
 
Sitting on the edge of my seat.......................... :) I love surprises!!!! especially PC surprises :)
 
Actually ChefAndiHV it wasn't even a Director who started this thread so you can't blame the Directors!
 
I am sorry. I sound like a little kid. I would just like to know what's going on and if I will be able to enjoy the news since my business has not been going so well this year.
 
I am hoping this will be what I need to get excited about my business again!
 
I am hoping this is going to get me excited about my business again!
 
Okay, I also keep checking back on here and have no idea what is coming. But, let me be one of the guessers--free National Conference for all consultants???
 
Christmas bonus check? : ) (based on our Nov. sales I hope?!?!?)
 
I'm thinking a Christmas bonus of some sort!Karen

I like your guess better than mine.

I wish! Wouldn't everyone who did very well in Nov be jumping for joy if they doubled the Nov commission and said Happy Holidays! I'm not holding my breath to ever see that happen, but a girl can dream ... right? ;)
 
OMG....wouldn't that be awesome!! I did my personal best in November. This is agony!

Sheila, since you are a director and must know what it is, I'm guessing the Nov. commission as a bonus isn't the answer.
 
I would say that that wouldn't benefit all consultants.
 
Are they extending the SAT?
 
Hmmm, now I wonder if it has to do with recruiting. If we get to vote on it, I'll vote for a bonus, or even PC dollars.
 
Sorry, Jean didn't want any misleading info out - that's why the Directors were asked to NOT talk about this with their teams before the official word has been posted & e-mailed. Sorry that you are all being teased, you know it's not in my nature to do that to anyone. But I have to respect Jean's request to let corporate spread the word.

And just for the record, I didn't say "all consultants" - I just said it was not relating to the customers so that Sharon wouldn't hold up her newsletter. ;)

Sheila said:
Sharon, it's relating to consultants, not customers. You are good to go on sending your newsletter. ;)

It's 1:20 AM over here in Tokyo. I was hoping that they would get it out there early in their morning, but I can't keep waiting up. (((hugs))) to all of you who are now anticipating the announcement. Hopefully it will come out soon & hoping to see a lot of you very happy.
 
With all this talk, the suspense is Killing me now! lol
 
So in other words Consultants who have had a rough time of it this year should not get too excited about this message.

I don't think that's necessarily true. It may just be the boost you need to be excited about your business.

I don't think that's the point at all :) Just wait to hear and then decide whether you want to be excited or not. I have had what you might call a "rough time of it this year" but I'm excited.
 
I wish HO would send out these announcements before noon and not around 5pm. :) I look for any excuse not to clean the house or do other work so have done a wonderful job at procrastinating this morning being on the computer for far too long.

I'm sure that whatever the announcement is, it will spark a debate on here. We haven't had anything exciting to talk about for at least a week ;)

Now I'm going to call my Director and bug her :D
 
This is TORTURE! Ack! I hope they send it soon so I can get something done! I'm trying really heard not to bug my director. I have to say I am very impressed with all of you who know and are keeping a secret. YOu must be bursting at the seams! :D

I'm so excited about all the incentives they've already announced, I can't even imagine what could be MORE exciting!
