I saw in the ShoutBox that someone posted they had gotten their 2010 calendar. I know Jodi is in Canada, but I'm curious to hear what the calendar is like. Anyone else receive theirs yet?
 
I received mine last month sometime..I haven't looked at them..except to check to make sure that all of the months are there.
 
are you talking the 2010 Consultant Planner or the PC Calendar (with photos)?
 
Sorry..I made the assumption..and I probably made the wrong one..oops
 
Based on Noora's post I think she's talking about the 2010 Consultant planner and my guess is she's wondering (like me!) if it's a weekly planner, as rumored, or if they stuck with monthly for 2010.

Anyone? :)

Yes, I'm curious about the Consultant Planner. I loved the one I got from Franklin Covey the first year I was a consultant, and the printable one on CC appears to be the same format.
 
I received mine yesterday and it is a weekly planner devided in morning, afternoon and evening.
 
NICE!!!! I was holding off buying a weekly one too!

To find the weekly calendar, just type "weekly calendar" in the search box on CC, and it comes up as one of the results.

You're right Ann, we're both in Canada but I'm not sure how/why Chef Gilles got his yesterday. No delivery here in Ontario yesterday due to Remembrance Day. I received mine on Tuesday :)

I looked at the link for the planner in the download section numerous times and never clicked on it. Goodness me. I just clicked and viola there it is!

Thank Ann.
 
With regard to the Annual Calendars we had to order before Sept. 15th, has anyone
found a place to purchase envelopes that fit the calendar? I have gone to both Staples and Michaels, and called Office Max, as well as the U.S. Post office, to no avail. The calendar with that edge for us to put our business card into, measures
10.5 x 10.5 inches. That is a strange size to purchase, anywhere. If you have found
them, can you tell us the price and where?

I gave up and have tentative plans to make my own with brown paper I purchase by
the roll at Michaels. It would be so much easier to pick up at a Stationery store. I
wish PC had made them available to us.
 
I ordered mine from actionenvelope.com They were about $25 for 100. I got the 11-1/2 x 14. I am going to fold over the extra part of the envelope as I seal them.

BTW, I am patiently waiting for my consultant calendar as I am using printed pages for Jan and Feb right now since I have shows booked already. I am so excited to hear that they are the weekly as I am absolutely in love with the weekly calendar ever since conference. I've had more shows booked since July than I have in the four years of my biz
 
Yes! I got mine yesterday here in Canada...it was Remeberence Day and there was no mail delivery. I got mine yesterday because I got home from a trip yesterday so it must have been delivered Tuesday! I still got it yesterday!!! hehehe just being sarcastic!

LOL Gilles :D
 
Apparently I am blind because I can only find the calendar the is from Jan 2009 - Feb 2010. I am looking as I assume others are for the full 2010 calendar.

The one on CC is only the 2009 calendar. I'm sure they'll post the 2010 a bit later in the year.

Heather.... I thought so too, until I went to conference... I was in a workshop with someone from HO that sells... She recommended the weekly calendar. Here's the reasoning....

People looking at a month will most likely book towards the end of the month...

When you use a weekly, you must "flip" pages to get to a date that you have available... Too many pages flipped (usually by the third page flipped which means at most three weeks out), and the person booking "thinks" you are so busy so they must book before any more pages are flipped.

I tried it out, and have booked within less than two months out at every show. I love it, and will not go back. Just try it for two months and see how you like it.....

Thanks for your insights, you know how change is hard sometimes! heehee:p
 
I just looked at mine now. I'm in Canada and received mine on Monday or Tuesday. Not sure which day it was delivered.
the first few pages are the monthly pages from January 2010 to Feb 2011 and then it's the weekly calendar from then on.
 
I really like the weekly calendar but I wish that they had gone ahead and included a monthly calendar in it. That is what I usually buy - a calendar that is broken down weekly but has a month at a glance feature. I'm looking forward to trying out the weekly planner though and I like the picture on the front.
 
I find I am booking better going weekly and hate having to print out the pages to carry so I am glad to get the weekly planner! It will be thicker though so I am going to have to figure out what to leave out of my binder!
 
I understand the logic behind a weekly calender and think it is great HOWEVER I am SO used to using a monthly that I can look at the monthly calender and pretty much have it imprinted in my head of what my schedule is like. When I have tried using a weekly I cannot remember what is going on. It all blends together. I guess I'll just be more dependent on my calender now.
 
I'm in the middle of putting together a weekly and monthly calendar for those who want one. It'll be available from Cafe Press. Several Cheffers have used my previous versions. I'll post here when I finish it.
 
I still haven't even rec'd my Nov consultant news, so not counting on that calendar arriving any time soon... :(
 
Re: 2010 Consultant PlannerDoes anyone remember what the incentive was to get one free. Was it submitting so much in show sales. I thought I read it a couple weeks ago in a weekly bite but can't seem to find the information.

Thanks,

Karen

I don't think it was incentive based, I think you just had to be active.
