Can I Still Meet the New Requirements for Director Despite Challenges?

[amy07]

as much as I'm trying to stay positive and REALLY work on growing my business and my Team (getting them to recruit) I can almost see the writing on the wall that I am not going to meet the new requirements.:cry::cry:
I keep telling myself that it is ok if I'm not a Director, but it bites big time to have worked for it and to watch it just slip away.....I know that there is still time, but in reality my Team members are not real motivated. they are happy with their 1 or 2 shows/month. And the one SC I do have - her recruit & indirect recruit are both going thru marital issues and PC has been put on the sidelines.....so she doesn't even qualify as a SC because neither of them is active

tell me that this can still be done!

YES! IT CAN BE DONE!!!! Decide that you are going to make it happen and don't stop until you get it! It's hard to make that decision when you're down so take a day or two (NO MORE than that!) and then decide to work your hiney off and do what it takes!

And we're all here to cheer you on!!!!!!! :candyheart:

 

[jwpamp]

Here to Cheer....Here to Cheer!!

I know exactly how you are feeling, Amy. I was in the same boat (and could be again at the drop of a hat!). Work with those that you can...share the paycheck incentives they will get, and the bonus they will get when they recruit.

You and I both know that the new guidelines are HARD to get used to, but please don't give up....I am giving it a year, and giving it my all...then I will see where I am at and re-evaluate. But it is too soon to give up now. Please don't!

We are ALL in the same boat -- we just have to paddle a little harder to get to shore...but the shore is still there!

Hugs!!

do the ticket game at all of your shows to recruit on your own and then help your new recruits by doing their first show and playing the ticket game. My team is up by 10 so far this year (2 indirects in the past 2 days alone!) because this is my business model now.

I am in the exact same boat! I know we can do it, we just have to stick to it!

Me too! I had 2 of my newest team members recruit in April. One of them is going to do great but the other one that signed has done nothing AND won't return any of my calls, emails and hasn't been to a meeting. I am trying my hardest to get the others on my team to recruit but still nothing. I recruited 2 last month...hoping THEY will bring someone on asap!

We CAN do this ladies!!! (I really don't want a paycut!)

 

[chefkathy]

I'm here...just barely....got to recruit one myself this month, keep everyone active AND get my team recruiting. But they won't have leads if they don't do shows, so we have to start at square one--BOOKINGS. Ugh.

 

[finley1991]

I looks like I might be a Director this month (a paid-as director!). Everyone seem to be working... One question though if anyone knows the answer...I have a SC who already submitted a show this month. When I look at the Title Requirements and it says that I have ZERO active Senior Consultant Lines... does that mean that she is not an Active SC Line unless she AND her recruit submits sales?

That's right.

I've felt the stress too of wondering if I have to live "month to month" to see if I'll keep being paid as a Director. I was in April and just into the first week to 10 days into May, my team was AWESOME and already had met the qualificiations to "keep" me at the director level. This month is an awesome month so far for them!! So, I'm lucky yet again. I just hate living month to month like this and wondering how it will all pan out, but oh well.

I need to recruit!!! I have someone that will supposedly sign after the 15th when she gets paid, so let's hope that happens. The last person I recruited was in Feb and he's only done one show so far. He's not returning my phone calls, so that's not a good sign.

But one of my SC's consultants has a likely recruit she'll sign next month!! So, she'll be another SC! But, my question is, since she's under one of my SC's already, does that count as an additional SC for my count?? I didn't know if anyone has this same situation.

I would love to promote to Advanced but nobody seems really gung-ho on recruiting intentionally. At least there are some recruiting! I'm lucky because I have one TL and two SCs so at least that should keep me "coasting" for a while but I need to get more shows so I can be in front of more people to recruit. My host for Friday is a major repeat host and I always talk about it with her. She hates her job and would love to be a consultant but right off the bat, she wouldn't make the income she'd need to replace that FT job to justify it. I frequently talk to her about starting PC on the side to build up her business and a customer base so she can plan on quitting in the future and maybe get a PT job and do PC. I'd LOVE for her to sign on!!! So, that's another potential.

I just need to get my butt in gear more and maybe that'll encourage my team to recruit more. ray:ray:

So, Amy, I hear you completely when you say you feel it slipping away. Let's all make sure that doesn't happen for any of us.

I LOVE all the encouragement here!!:love0010::love0010:

I am wondering the same thing Becky. I have 2 people that have recruited. One of the recruit's recruit is off to a great start, but the other recruit's recruit has done nothing.

The first recruit's recruit may be signing someone in the next couple of weeks. Does that make sense? LOL...don't think I've even used the work "recruit" that many times in one sentence before.

Spoke too soon... my one SC called me today and says she's not planning on doing any more shows until August. :sick: We are going to have lunch in a few weeks so I'm hoping to light a fire under her!!!

Good luck!!! I hope you light that fire!!!

:

it doesn't....they need to be separate lines...BUT as long as 2 of them in the line submit it still counts as an active line.

Ok, thanks! Bummer, that's what I thought. Oh well. At least it increases the chances it'll always be an active line.

I just went to a training with Judy Joel yesterday (sales mgr with the HO) and here is the answer to the question --as long as ONE consultant in their line is active ($150 in sales), the Sr. Consultant is still a Sr. Consultant and still counts toward your requirements:YOU
--------Sr Cons ($0)
--------Their Cons ($150)The above represents an ACTIVE LINE.Hope that helps!

Hope that helps!

really? I know that keeps the line active, but are you sure that the SC doesn't have to submit to keep her SC status?

 

[amy07]

I had the same impression Linda. I know that last month my SC put in $200, but her recruit only did $50, so she didn't count as a SC for me.

 

[amy07]

But I do know that this would count:

You
..sc ($0)
....their recruit ($150)
....their recruit ($150)

 

[jwpamp]

Since the Sr Consultant's Recruit didn't do $150, she is not active, so the Sr Cons. is not a Sr Cons.....but the LINE is active if the recruit submits and the Sr Cons. does not.

I know, sounds crazy, but that is how she showed it on the info slides....

 

[pamperedlinda]

In looking at the little flippy book it describes the requirements (pg 8) of a SC to be
- be active yourself
- have 1 active recruit

 

[jwpamp]

really? I know that keeps the line active, but are you sure that the SC doesn't have to submit to keep her SC status?

I think that the requirements are needed to be PAID as a Sr Cons.I am still not sure...let me e-mail Judy and ask her. I will get back with an answer to all...

 

[pamperedlinda]

So Janice...

I understand about the line being active, but does she still count as one of the SC?

I think I'll put in a call to my HO sales mgr for more clarification.

 

[jwpamp]

I know that the Director requirements state that you have to have 2 Active Senior Consultant LINES...and if the Sr Cons has $0 but their recruit has $150, that LINE is ACTIVE.The Sr Cons. DOES NOT have to be ACTIVE, but the LINE does.The Sr Cons. with no sales (or even less than $150) is not active, so she won't be PAID as an SC.Does that make sense?

 

[jwpamp]

So Janice...

I understand about the line being active, but does she still count as one of the SC?

You can call, Linda. It doesn't make sense for us to both do it!

I think that SC amd TL titles are not guaranteed - they are effetive in the month earned. I 'think' that you have to be a D or above to retain your title for several months at a time.

 

[pamperedlinda]

You can call, Linda. It doesn't make sense for us to both do it!

I'd be interested to see if we both get the same answer! LOL

My HO sales Manager is Rachel Geitzen - I've sent her an email. I'll let you knwo what her answer is.

 

[jwpamp]

Actually, Team Leaders and above keep the title for 3 months....it's so confusing, isn't it? Like learning PP3!!!

 

[jwpamp]

Hey, Linda...I've got your back on CS!!

It's crazy over there! All kinds of bad vibes going on :yuck:
