[chef131doreen]

[candiejayne]

[pamperedpals]

You can also put frosting in it to press grass, hair, etc.

 

[pampered.chris]

LOL! We have a blizzard in Ohio. So I am sitting by the computer, sipping soda and eating chocolate pie. Like Chris, I feel like Veruca Salt ... "I want it NOW!!!

I LOVE Veruca!!!

My DD was Violet in the 6th grade musical. I saw the musical 4 times and haven't stopped telling people that "I want a pink candy boat and I want an oompaloompah and I want it NOW!!!"

 

[candiejayne]

LOL that girl drives me crazy!

 

[katie0128]

This waiting is driving me crazy...

 

[candiejayne]

I know me too! I even made my BF run to the store for me so that I didnt have to leave my computer, but now I'm really thinking that I need to get up and do something. Maybe like fix the kid lunch since he keeps asking me and I keep saying just a little bit longer. With my diet too, it's time for me to eat also. I bet I can be back on here in 10-15 LOL! should make time go a bit faster then sitting here waiting!

Stay away from squirrels! LOL!

I would be very surprised if it was posted before Leadership "officially adjourned", which I assume is at 1:00 Mnt. Time, which would be 2:00 Central Time, which would be 3:00 Eastern Time.............. (this makes my head hurt!)
:yuck:

 

[babywings76]

See, I was fine with waiting till Monday. I thought that's what it was supposed to be. Now with people saying their directors called and said it's supposed to be up by noon CT, I'm all excited and now am inpatient. I guess I need to just figure on it not being up until after they adjourn from the meetings, and even then, maybe not until Monday.

 

[lauradahl]

quick! 10 uses for the garlic press....GO!

Play-Doh for the kids...makes great spaghetti....and hair! OK, that idea taken..........

Somewhere on CS the last few days, I did see a post that said "new info posted on CC at 1P CST
so that is what I have been planning...until we heard this new 12P info....maybe the original
post was correct?

[nicki25]

I can pull it up. It looks like a lot of info. to go through!!

 

[bgpamperedchef]

It's up on Consultant's Corner but the link doesn't work!!!

 

[LUPE]

I can not pull it up - It tells me the page has moved.

 

[kreaser]

me too...any tricks to pulling it up?

 

[pampered.chris]

I have the new career plan working, but I can't find the new special edition consultant news!! I want to listen and look at the new stuff too!!

 

[lauradahl]

I can not pull it up - It tells me the page has moved.

I got the same thing:yuck:

 

[LUPE]

How did you get the new career plan - mine says page moved.

 

[pampered.chris]

How did you get the new career plan - mine says page moved.

Are you double clicking on the picture on CC home page? That is all I did.

Get ready to sit...it is 29 min long

 

[Kodeysmom]

How did you get the new career plan - mine says page moved.

Mine did too, i just kept trying and it finally let me in.

 

[Intrepid_Chef]

I don't care about the stupid career plan! I want to know recruiting promo! Specials! The stuff that will make me CARE about recruiting.

 

[priscilla]

I don't care about the stupid career plan! I want to know recruiting promo! Specials! The stuff that will make me CARE about recruiting.

You get $25 every time you recruit someone who does $1250 in sales in their first 90 days. Does that make you care about recruiting? You then get overrides on their sales, from the beginning. Does that make you care about recruiting?

Robin

 

[Intrepid_Chef]

To be honest ... not really ... and I want to see paperwork, not a video ...

 

[smithcooking]

It doesn't look like they are going to be having a live video for us to watch. I just got an email from Home Office saying that if you go to consultants corner and click on the career plan. I think this is all that we are going to get.

 

[tabnat80]

this video is long. kinda loosing me. i have a short attention span

 

[straitfan]

I have dial-up and am not even going to attempt to watch it. What I DO want to see is the CN with pictures of the products, price changes, specials, etc......... I can't get THAT to load, get message page has moved (sneaky way)

 

[priscilla]

The video is a slide show with talking. It is very good for aural and visual learners. Watch it, I am doing so now.Robin

 

[kam]

So far it makes sense. They are REALLY pushing recruiting. It looks like as long as you are recruiting, and your recuits are recruiting, it is probably more rewarding. But, it really seems as though more directors today may drop to Team Leaders...

 

[pampered.chris]

There are 3 video/slide shows. The first one explains Consultant, Senior Consultant, Team Leader and Director.

But I too have a short attention span. I watched that one...but I will wait until later to watch the others.

But this new career plan doesn't start until April, and current Directors will keep their title through July. Gives them 6 months to assess their team and make any changes to maintain their Director status.

[kam]

What I want to find out more about, is if, as a Consultant, if I don't submit sales in a month and I am "inactive" - what does that really mean for ME? It appears as though if I do not submit $150 in a month, it affects my Team Leader or Director.

Since the Director levels requires ACTIVE lines, and I don't submit in a given month, that would affect my director since I would be an INACTIVE line.

 

[debbieskitchenhelper]

When I try to log in it won't let me put my consultant number in.. It does nothing.

Unless you have a recruit who submits $150 in sales. Then, the LINE is active, and counts for the TL or Director. You would not get the 1% override on your sales or your recruit's sales, though.

Robin

 

[debbieskitchenhelper]

never mind,, it is working,, it was my computer

 

[Kodeysmom]

You also can become a director if you have $75,000 in personal sales for the last 12 rolling months, and $6000 in sales for that current month. Without recruiting anyone.

I hear ya!! I really wanted to listen to the others, but I really need to do some other things around the house....

Robin

No, I would have no recruits and I am trying to find out what happens to me if I am inactive for a month. I am still watching the videos, maybe it will explain...

PArt 1 didn't really say and Part 2 looks like it will focus on AD and above...

 

[kreaser]

I just watched "listened" to the whole thing...it is very well organized...just long...29 minutes to be exact...45 slides used...everything sounds great, except the directors needing the 2 other lines to keep them as director...I have a feeling that many directors will lose their status...they need only 4 recruits, but 2 of those also have had to recruited someone, and between that person and their recruit they need to be an active line for the month (meaning at least one of those had to submit 150 for the month. And this has to happen 'every" month..yikes...I'm nervous about this..I have a wonderful cluster, and 1 of my gals has 2 recruits right now, and another is getting ready to recruit one, so I would be ok for now...but no matter how many recruits I do myself, I could still lose my directorship if others dont or cant' or don't want to have recruiting be part of their business..I don't think this is right. I can see directors "passing recruit leads" to their recuits just to have to maintain directorship..especially if the director already has more than 4 personal recruits...this is crazy!!!!!
Im also afraid that it may discourage others from trying for directoship since more is at stake and more "maintaining" is needed...just my thoughts.

 

[priscilla]

Why is it crazy to pass on recruit leads? Isn't that part of being a leader? And Team Leaders will be receiving leads from HO, and while they may not all pan out they are still a possibility to help with sales and recruits.My opinion is to be a director you should be a leader with depth in your organization. This structure rewards that depth. It also rewards those with recruits no matter what level and right away, not after the recruit qualifies.Robin

 

[chef131doreen]

You are right You must always have people under you maintain 150.00 in sales to to stay at a level it seams we will be bouncing back and forth all the time , now the free new products that directors get didn't come up at all what if you maintain for so long then drop down you may not get the new products i know we have to really understand this but it seems likre too much to keep up every month

 

[priscilla]

Okay, I am on section three. A lot of these concerns about bouncing around are addressed. Seriously, watch them all before making a decision or forming an opinion. Example- You are a Director under the new plan. You miss some of the requirements for a month. you remain a Director, but are paid as a Team Leader. If you meet the Director req. the next month, you get the Director overrides. If you miss the Director req three months in a row, you drop to the title of Team Leader, but can repromote at any time by meeting the req.Also, the same month you meet the requirements you get the bonuses. No more waiting a month to get those overrides.Robin
