Do you have Pan-O-Rama? I'm wondering if the Connect for Cash doesn't compensate for that ...
 
Heather,
Sounds like a great program! I too was wondering if our CA consultants have the panorama too.

Julie Weiss? I hope they have her in the US conference next year. I have her Leadership CD's and they are wonderful.

I live close to CA and we drove through to go to Chicago. Love Canada!

I still don't fully understand why Canada PC isn't the same as US. Can someone explain? :confused:
 
Because it's a different country, they have different rules and regulations about how business can run. To keep things differentiated, there's a separate HO for Canada. Some of the other differences, like incentive programs, are related to costs and to number of consultants (there are FAR fewer in Canada than in the US).

for the most part we are, we carry the same products and have the same host and guest specials
pc has been in the US for 20+yrs we have only been in canada for 10 yrs
wave one had over 3000 attendees we had 500!
both of the extra promotions IMO are to promote growth
we only have about 120 directors in all of canada (sorry if my #'s off that is the # i was told, we cud have more but not much more)
we still dont have the bridal registry for our pws which makes no sense

hth a little and that of course is just my thoughts lol

US PC did something like this a few years ago where people got $300 cash at conference and I think it was for promoting... I can't remember... it was about 3-4 years ago. I'll have to look at my past notes... if I can find it, I'll post it here.
 
Found it! It was 2004 that US PC ran this promo... .

I remember when they handed out the actual cash at conference... it was really exciting!

Okay... my scanner is not cooperating this morning so here are the details:

This was spring 2004: Promote to Director by July 1 and earn a $500 bonus to be awarded on stage at National Conference. Earn a second $500 bonus in November when you continue to build your business and Cluster.

There were several guidelines but basically it really set up Directors to build and strong business and strong team.
 
Thanks Heather and Ann for the explanation. I assume you all know French! LOL!
 
What cool promotions!

Nor do I. Of course, I'm not even in Canada. I'm about 1/2 mile from it, sitting here at work (just across the Detroit River).
