Did Your NMD Meeting Live Up to the Hype?

[kreaser]

For Jan. if guest sales are at 500.00 then host starts earning more free product...ie $500 show..instead of $90 free they earn another $50.00. and it goes up from there, like they did one other month like this.
Oh, even if they have a qualified show of $150 they can purchase either the white scraper collection or the cranberry collection at 60% off
February is host can choose any one product in catalog at 60% with a 150.00 qualified show...and if show reaches 550.00 they get a cookbook of their choice for free. Guest special is one of the sprinkles with $60 order.
Hope this helps!

Canadian Consultants only have 1 trip destination and have to earn a certain level to earn TF1 or TF2 (based on Consultant, FD, plus recruits, etc.)

The US Consultants usually have a choice of a few - is that right???

 

[Debrachef]

That's correct. Usually there are more than one choices at different levels. However, if it's one particular trip (Fluffy215 mentioned Florida....) then they could have different levels that would include several destinations within that trip.

 

[Fluffy215]

nope it's different levels have different hotels and different lengths of time and some extras but it's all the same destination.

 

[Fluffy215]

To me I kind of like February Host Special more than January. Maybe it's just me but I find my hosts are turned off by not getting the extra at lower levels. Not all parties can make $500 and especially in January right after Christmas. People are just getting over holiday shock when they open them credit cards so it's a good time for recruiting but hosting is going to be hard I think. I do have one on the books already for late January though LOL She wants a Game Day party for a warm up to the SuperBowl LOL

 

[LisaDream]

It's after midnight....where are the trips?

 

[Debrachef]

Ahhh, I see. Thanks for the clarification fluffy215. Still a bummer for me, but I am excited for those who have never been there! Good luck to all and thanks again for the clues!

 

[lockhartkitchen]

DisneyWorld? If I'm following the hints.

 

[Debrachef]

It's only 9:00ish on the west coast. Read some of the posts and you'll get a real good idea of the trip.

 

[Debrachef]

I'm thinking Disney World also!

 

[Fluffy215]

I think you might be right

 

[Fluffy215]

And remember this will be the 30th birthday of the Pampered Chef so you know they are going to do it big

 

[lockhartkitchen]

My director just confirmed Disneyworld w/ multi-levels

 

[DebbieJ]

I am so so so so so so excited!!!!!!!

 

[Fluffy215]

Me too I was not thrilled with this years only because I am not really wanting to go overseas (unless it was Germany that is the one place I would love to go to) so I really didn't care if I made it or not, but now I am sooooooooooo wanting this one. I am going to push so hard to at least get level two. Would love more but my first year and a half haven't been half way to level two so if I can make it to two I will be in heaven Just to see the grandkids again OMG!!!!

 

[Lisa/ChefBear]

I went to our Local national meeting night, and unless you are into recruiting, forget it. You won't earn anything!!! So if you are a hobbyist, or like me, someone who recruits kit nappers, you're OUT, you get nadda rewards........unless you sell $115,000.00 in sales, which how many of us do that?? In the 3 1/2 yrs. since I've been selling, I just made that in total sales.

I love the thought of taking my family to Disney, but level 2 is 52000 pts with 4 QUALIFIED recruits. Depending on what level you achieve, depends on what ammenities and extra Disney Cash you get.

Level one is 23000 pts and 1 recruit, and you get National Conference Registration paid for.

January is double points.

Lots were excited about hostess special, and I think it's not fair to lower selling hostesses. Basically if your show is not 500.00 or MORE you get nothing, which I know, I know...just get hostesses motiviated and get the sales up there. But what about those hostesses who work their butts off and people just don't have the $?? They get nothing at 60% off, I had shows like that last year and I don't have the $ to pay for something like that on my own.

Sorry to be a downer, just not feeling really great still. I've got bronchitis, and I went to meeting hoping for an exciting meeting and to get/keep my motivated into next year, and just don't seem to be there.

Our directors didn't tell us about February either, so I'm waiting to hear about that.

My director did say, there's more, something about shows being held between 11-5-08 and 11-30-08 being entered into drawing for awesome prizes, but didn't elaborate, so I'm hoping in the morning she sends us an email and gives more info. on that.

It is the pampered chef's 30th birthday as well as Doris's birthday. I really want to go, but that' really a lot to sell to get there. I never have that much luck here in Alabama. Wish I did. It just doesn't seem do-able to me. Kudos to those of you who are able to get it.

 

[lockhartkitchen]

I was on the phone with my director so I could only type with one hand. It's multi-leveled 52,000 points level 2 w/ $600 air allowance 74,000 points level 3 includes airfare. Both trips are for a family of 4. I'm going to do it!! WHo's with me? My family is so excited. I was there 16 years ago for my honeymoon. We're going back in 2009!!!! With 3 kids. (buy in 1- or minus one of my daughter's my son said. Ha Ha)

 

[Jessamary]

I so want to go! I aim for level 4...you know, when you're hunting for Moby Dick, bring along the tarter sauce.

I need to hear some ways of recruiting, because apparently, I suck at it. And level 4 you need 7 recruits. Does anyone buy leads? My problem is I'm in a small town and no one wants to be recruited because I'm there. KWIM?

Focus on the positive...focus on the positive....

So, I figure 10 recruits...again, tarter sauce. With my average and leadership points (I hope!), I need 10.9 shows a month.

 

[tabnat80]

Hey, I heard that they have to option to purchase one of the scraper sets at 60% off in addition to getting the extra free products. The scrapers are there at the 150 dollar level shows. Just thought I would pass this along.

Feb is pick any item in the catty at 60% off. HTH

BAh humbug for those that say that can't do it. Pestimistic! GEt a calculator out and figure it out. 4 qualified? Hard? No. When you set your mind to it, you do it. When you tell yourself you can't, you won't.

You have to want it. I'm getting out my pictures from Disneyworld and printing them and hanging them around the house. My family is going to help us get there.

We heard nothing about this.

Frankly, I am quite dismayed at the jump from level 1 (one recruit) to Level two (FOUR recruits.) Um, for someone like me who is lucky to be a hobbyist, recruiting just two this year is going to be a challenge.

I know this is a huge undertaking and they want all the achievers to be there for Doris' birthday and PC's 30th, but I am dismayed that there is not a more achievable level for those of us who do not aspire to directorship, and those of us who do not have a family of four to take on a trip. In addition, some of the people who have kids might prefer to leave them at home.

I'd have to sell more than $3,000 every month to achieve this trip, even if I recruited 5 people and promoted to director.

And I'm sorry ... but $23,000 points and all you get is conference registration? They often have a program to earn this free or half price anyway. What about PC dollars for those who don't go to conference?

length requirement

 

[pamperedpals]

I just got home from my meeting. I am SOOOOOOO excited! I can't wait to tell my kids tomorrow, when they are awake.

My DH is excited also. What do you all think about the added bonus pts for being a director? I think it is great that they are going to look at your level as of December 1, 2009 & "deposit" the bonus points.

I can hardly wait for January to get here, to start working on the trip.

 

[Intrepid_Chef]

As for the specials ... get in the way back machine .. they are very similar to last January and February.

January it's extra credit, starting at $500, and even if you don't have a $500 show you still get a scraper collection for 60 percent off.

February is one product at 60 percent off, not two like last February. Frankly that's a disappointment because I would have loved to offer that to my $1,000 hosts from last year. It would be better for them to break down their show into two parties.

The February guest special is free sprinkles, just like last year ... the January guest special stinks .. it's those little bamboo spoon sets ... only $5 worth of stuff for somebody who spends $60??? Even my AD said she'd be adding something onto that ...

Last year my January sucked eggs but my February was great ... anything at all at 60 percent got people booking.

I know that a lot of people are concerned about the recruiting requirements, but I know you can do it. Are you asking everyone at your shows. Are you making sure you share what a great oportunity it is. I think one reason they do this is that your business is a lot stronger if you don't focus on just one part.

Also, a lot of you are asking about what is happening Nov. 5th - 30th. It is customer appretiation month and 5 Host and Consultants EACH DAY will receive a Reversible Bamboo Carving Board and a Forged Cutlery Carving set.

Again, I know the trip sounds hard to earn, but I know if we want it bad enough and really focus on making our businesses what they need to be we can earn it. Also, if it is to easy to earn something, I know I at least, am not as proud of my accomplishment.

Between Nov 5th - Nov 30th PC will be drawing 50 names each day to give away the reversible bamboo carving board & forged cutlery carving set. You will be able to go online tomorrow and register your shows. You can continue to add show's as you add them to your calendar.

Here, here!

What you BELIEVE is what you ACHIEVE.

 

[Lisa/ChefBear]

Our directors didn't share that hostess in Jan. could get scraper collection, they said the scrapers were for Past Hostesses. I hope that Jan. hostesses can get that, I know lots of people want scrapers back as 1/2 price specials.

Thanks for sharing what February is, I've got people to call about new year shows and I know February will be bigger draw for me, with them being able to choose anything @ 60% off. Matter of fact, I've got people that I couldn't get dates booked for Cookware, they'll be my first calls.

I'd have to sell more than $3,000 every month to achieve this trip, even if I recruited 5 people and promoted to director.

And I'm sorry ... but $23,000 points and all you get is conference registration? They often have a program to earn this free or half price anyway. What about PC dollars for those who don't go to conference?

Since I've been home, I've also sat down with hubby and figured out what I'd have to sell each month to reach Level 2, and even with points I'd make with recruiting, I'd still need over 41000 pts., and that's over $3000.00 in sales for 13 months (13 because of double points in Jan.) and for me personally that's just not possible. Even when I've sold the most and had 10-13 shows in a month, I've been able to reach that, sometimes, but then my family is not happy with me being gone that many nights/days.

I guess no matter what, you can't please everyone, and I think it's great for everyone who feels they can do it, and WOO HOO for you, but right this moment, I don't see it as possible for me and my family.

It's 5 every day for the host appreciation, not 50.
