Ok, can share now.....the prize for being one of the serve it up squad winners Carolyn and I WON 500 CATALOGS!!! WOO!!!HOO!!!

That's a TON of catalogs! Maybe it will be motivation for you to work your biz like crazy and get through all of them! :) (I know that would be my plan, but I would likely fizzle out!)

I keep meaning to add... I won $100 PC dollars to use on supplied - yippee! My friend also lives in the same city as I and she was so mad when it wasn't her name announced as she was sure she was going to win something! Another one of my friends tells me it is a sign that I need to get my butt into gear again, and my break is over (I took it down to the minimum over my 1st year of grad school) - in fact she says I had a ton of those aha!/should of had a v8 moments over conference!


Woo hoo!! That's great!
 
You can always sell them off too or use them as gifts for your downline!
 
Yeah to 500 cattys and $100 in supplies!!


My Director said she was the very FIRST name called at Wave One! She got $100 from Merrill! One of the things I am certain she will be ordering are those BEAUTIFUL color calendars!! She wants to send them out to past hosts, and give them to current hosts! They had one of them at our meeting and it is just gorgeous! We are all gonna go together and make a Merrill order since their shipping is outreageous! (I saw the new "plain" postcards...plain on the side you would write on, but full color pictures and our logo on the front...you can use them for host coaching, thank yous, etc. and I thought they were great too!)
 
Congrats on winning, ladies.:thumbup:

I am giving 2 packs to each of the girls on my team who made the committment and attanded NC. It's the least I can do - they booked hotels, got airfare, left their families for 4 days etc...so I am sharing my catalogs with them :)

And THAT, my friend, is why you won them in the first place!
 
Ooops - sorry I asked what you won earlier. I knew what the prizes were, though. It was posted in a Newswire or Cooking News or something like that a while back, so I didn't think it was a surprise. And I know it had to be posted because I knew there were 5 laptops, and in years past there was only 1.:confused:

Anyway, congratulations, Ladies!!! Ann Frame from our Wave won something as well - I can't remember what, though.

How exciting!!

ETA: Next year I think they should give away a car. Wouldn't that draw a few more consultants? :)
 
I won 500 catalogs too in Wave 3!!! What a blast conference was! Guess someone is telling mw to pump up my business and use all those catalogs!

Congrats! That is a TON of catalogs!! I tell people at my shows to take them home and if they feel like they're going to throw it away, take it with them the next time they go to the dr's, dentist, hairdresser, anywhere public. That way it keeps my name circulating out there.
 
Congrats to the winners!!! That is so great for all those who got catalogs and PC dollars!

My big prize was NOT from the serve it up squad ... it was at the home office on the last day of Wave 1. We totaled it up and it was $1,160 worth of stuff! Most of it is being invested directly into my business ... the rest is being saved for gifts or to sell.

The woman who used her DH's Marriott points to get us a free room will be getting my DCB since I already have one! God is good.

Those girls must love you. I wish you were my director!!
 
Kristi ... I keep saying that without that clustermate, I would not have been there to win them in the first place! I know she'll say it didn't cost her anything ... but really, they could have used the points for something else ... besides, the DCB didn't cost me anything either!

A clustermate is giving her the double boiler from her surprise box.

Wasn't that great?

They make a big production out of the drawings. The song Hey, Good Lookin', What Ya Got Cookin'? and roll a big rolling drum out onto the stage. Everyone helps count. It's a lot of fun.

I have tha ring tone on my cell for all my PC friends! LOL!!
 
Anyone notice that a very high percentage of the winners (more than usual, anyway) were Directors? I think that's because it was mostly people who are truly committed to their business who were there this year. (Well, other than the amazing percentage that were first time attendees!)

Know what? I noticed that in Wave #1 too!

Over half the winners were directors but also over half the room was first time attendees! :eek:
 
Janet, so that other 2% must of been us Cheffers that are neither directors nor 1st time attendees :) (and thanks for the congratulations - after I saw you in the new product showcase you kept popping up all over the place :) )
 
That's so cool that so many Cheffers won stuff! Thanks, Diane, for noticing my name being called! In our group from Oklahoma 5 out of 7 were directors, so when they said "a director from Oklahoma," we all perked up! I won a night's stay for next year.

Funny!

I was a few rows in front of you when you won!

I was going to yell back to you, but you were already too excited and in your own world! :)
 
Ann, the other whirlwind winner was from Oklahoma, too!

My clustermate was another who won a free night next year. I told her we stay for 4 nights, so go in with 3 other clustermates, they pay for a night, and hers is free! She's in some really tough circumstances!
 
I won the 2 year website during wave 2
 
>my DH made it my ring tone on my cell.<

Wow! OK, Spill... how did he do that?

Yep... sounds like me :D:balloon::p
 
Just a thought on the free room night...Would you use it for yourself and let your other roommates split the rest of the cost of share it with them and split the remainder 4 ways (or how many others are in your room). I think that I would feel blessed enough to win that I would let everyone split the winning!
