heather223 said:I am so excited about this announcement. This company truely does care about us and I wouldn't want to be part of any other DS company.
Who is walking as a new director with me at Conference? I originally promoted Sept. of 2009 and then lost my title and couldn't get it back because of needing 2 Senior Consultants. I have no doubt that I will re-promote to director and KEEP my title this time!
cookn' katie said:I am really pumped. I would have been a director in October under the new plan!! Only bummer, I wish you could accept or not accept directorship and not take pay raise if you are not going to be a director!! My director falls in and out of directorship and my upline director does everything for me!! I hate that my director(when she is active) gets all the money when I actually do the work and hold meetings. She only reaps the rewards. And my upline does incentives for me and my team!
cookn' katie said:Also, I was the one who originally posted this thread. I didn't mean to start any big drama with posting it. I work weird hours and I was pumped to see the news. I was only given a hint from my director, but wanted everyone to know so they too could be checking their emails and cc!! Very sorry for those of you who were offended.

chefa said:Yes, we were all impatiently waiting, but wasn't your anticipation level off the charts? Consider too that sometimes creating a buzz about something may be just what someone needs at this point in their businesses. Personally I'm thinking I can actually hit Directorship before NC this year and walk and maybe quit the ol' j.o.b. and that, my friends, is truly exciting!

esavvymom said:I'm nowhere near the 6 needed....but it is much more encouraging to me for myself and the goal of Director again. BUT, I need to get my own sales up before too many recruits- otherwise it would be for nothing.
minirottie said:What is the "Amount of HO Leads" section mean? Sales from HO Leads?
loreo said:There are many of us like that. March will be here quickly
wadesgirl said:I was actually eligible to attend my first director meeting on Friday so I heard all about it then. It's very exciting to hear this kind of announcement. They can try something for a while and if it's not working, they are allowed to change it. The way it was worded to us was that for Canada the system in place seems to be working just fine so they won't be changing their structure.

Sometimes seeing it in black & white helps. That's $4,161.85 MORE in the last 6 months for having Home Office Leads AND for being a Director (making 3% override on the team.)
NOW do you want to be a Director? Since you are not in my downline, it really shouldn't matter to me if you become a Director or not, but I want you to be educated in the difference and make an informed decision!
chezshelly said:I am personally so excited about the change in the Career plan. I have been a Director for 4 1/2 years, obviously 2 under the new plan. The last 2 years have been some of the hardest of my business. Mainly because they kept saying we were being paid based on our performance, when in reality we were being paid based on what our team did/didn't do. Now, we will be responsible for our levels yet again! I felt like I had a 2000 pound weight lifted off of my shoulders! I still am shocked but so thankful for this wonderful company that does listen when we talk!! It difinitely makes me want to keep going and actually gives me hope for the next levels as well!!!
Sheila said:Thanks everyone, hope seeing the numbers help!
Becky, once you add in the HO Leads, it bumped me over the requirement. Every month was paid as Director. My team rocks and I have not yet been "paid as" a lower level.
Becca_in_MD said:I haven't been paying attention to Director requirements and benefits too much lately. I'm sure that will change in 2011 as I approach Directorship So here's my question...
With the adjustment to the career plan on March 1, will people who promote to Director with the new plan be eligible to get the Spring Product Director Package if they met the sales requirement in the preceeding months?
Becca_in_MD said:OK friends up north, let's see how much I can butcher this summary. It's effective March 1, 2011
recruiting bonus to be $30 for consultants at all levels, paid in PC dollars (currently at $25 for below Director levels); recruit still has to reach $1250 in 90 days for consultant to get bonus; PC bucks credited at end of month when recruit qualifies.
Director will need 4 direct and a total of 6 team consultants; no need for 2 Senior Consultants; do not need to be qualified, just active, recruits to reach Director status; 2nd line consultants will count toward the 6 required so a single TL on your team can make you a Director if you have 3 other direct recruits, or if you have 6 direct recruits you can still be a Director. NO NEED FOR YOUR TEAM TO RECRUIT FOR YOU TO PROMOTE.
Director Team sales requirement increases from $4,000 to $5,000.
There's more info about upper level director requirements and timelines for bypass, etc. PC gives a nice explanation of why they're making the changes.
