Consultants interested in the features of the 2010 Consultant Planner and those looking for insights on how different formats may affect their scheduling and booking practices.

Yes, unless they've changed something all active consultants get one. I'm excited about Ann's. I love the one she does. It includes weekly and monthly calendars. It makes my planning easy.
 
You had to submit at least $150 in September or October or be new since then.

Here's the official work from HO:

2010 Consultant Planners Mailing in Early November
Your 2010 Consultant Planner will be mailed to you in early November, just in time to start booking your January Shows. You will receive a Planner if you submit at least $150 in commissionable sales in September or October, or you are a new Consultant in your first 90 days. Planners will also be made available for sale for Consultants who do not meet the above criteria.

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.

Thanks Ann, that one sounds awesome! :)
 
OH! I am so excited for it to come! I bought a cheapie just to see how it works, and it is a great tool to get people to book in close and take your first couple of free dates. It makes it seem like you are VERY busy and the sooner they book, the better! :thumbup:

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.

When I took the class at NC, they warned about the "dangers" of having a calendar that includes monthly AND weekly. Linda Bowles suggested to clip those pages together so guests won't see them.

I definitely thought I'd have a hard time making the transition, but boy-oh-boy is it ever making a difference in my show calendar. I don't even miss my monthly calendar. I just started thinking week by week. I love having room to put my daytime committments (volunteering at school, church activities, etc.) AND room for my available show times.

I can't wait for mine to arrive.
 
Calendars are as individual as blood type. What works for one person might not work for another. The key is to find one that works for you. My PC Planner arrived today. I do like the new format. I still like the month & week format of the planner I've used before, though. Then again, my customers don't really see my calendar. I talk them through the booking process before ever opening my calendar.
 
I love mine! It will save me ink & paper since I have been printing out weekly pages for several months now! I too took the class about booking in close! Saturday we did a booking blitz from my Director's Cluster and was talking with a lady who was wanting a November date. I say, "you know most people know what their calendar looks like the next two weeks than they do in the next month. I know you were wanting to get the November specials and we still have about 10 days before Thanksgiving!" She booked for the 21st...one week away. I took her the Host Binder I do today and had emailed her the direct link to her show on my PWS and some information on Saturday. She said she had already emailed about it to the Moms of her 130 dance students and had gotten back one reply with an order and one lady wanting to see a catalog! She is really excited so I am looking forward to her Show. We are doing a "Tasting Party" with several dips made with the Sweet Sprinkles and Oil Dipping Seasonings and to make everyone drool, the Autumn Apple Cherry Crisp. I will have it all made and pop it in the microwave about 20 minutes before time to start so the place will smell YUMMY!
 
I got mine yesterday. I like it but would have loved a monthly calender too included in there too.

Jane - that's a great example of how to use the weekly calendar! Wahoo for you!
 
I just got mine yesterday. Can I just complain though about my mailman?!!! My calendar is bent. He folded the package to get it to fit in my mailbox. I hope it flattens out over time. :(
 
Amanda, mine is bent too. I have a post office box and i love how they tried to force it in there. i love the picture on the front. I love getting free stuff even something little like a calendar. :)
 
Got mine today too. I get the whole premise behind a weekly planner, however I just do not like this layout. I don't get why it has to be horizontal instead of verticle. It looks more like a wall calendar than a business planner.
Itry not to complain because it was free but I really do not like this and will probably never use it. :(
 
Just out of curiosity... I loved the Dots cover, what's the cover for the new 2010??
 
Hmmm, I didn't get mine yet. I hope it comes today and we have a tiny cramped mailbox so I hope it fairs okay!

I recieve my planner yestereday, and I love it :)
 
I want my planner. :cry: I am not a patient person and I want it now! :) I hope it will be in my mailbox when I get home.
 
Sadly, I dont' think I will get one... I was not active in Oct. (1 small online order only). But with the sounds of the new style, I may as well just go buy a monthly one anyways. ;)
 
I like the weekly thing but do not like the layout of the new calendar. I wonder if they will give us a new one to print?
 
I still don't have mine :( I want it desperately for a show I am doing this weekend. 3 more days, hopefully it will come. :)
 
I still don't have mine but already got my own for 2010.
 
I got mine today and I am not liking it like the rest of you. I don't like the layout and that it is like something that you would hang at your desk. I don't know how it is going to work in the black consultant planner that I have had for a few years now. I guess I will see.
 
I still didn't get mine!!! Maybe today!
 
Hating it. I don't get it. The month view is much more helpful. I am afraid I am going to just confuse MYSELF! lol
 
The basic layout is okay for me but I think it's too small. When they came out with the one on the download section I printed that on card stock and at the front of each month I printed the month from i calendar on my mac. At the beginning of each month I also have the host and guest special in sheet protectors so that as I'm trying to book a show I can show them what the host special is for that month. It is in a 3-ring not hard bound but like one a school kid wold have loose leaf and subject dividers. It works quite well for me.:)

Still didn't get mine...
 
Mine hasn't come yet, either. :( I've been active - very active - since I signed in July.

Haven't gotten mine either and I was active in September (joined at end of August) and qualified in October.
