Don't Know Where This Thread Goes

When we were at our "back to work" training meeting on sat., we talked all about personal goals (keep in mind MOST of the attendees were NC -- 30-60 days into starting up). Once we found out WHERE the Incentive Trip was - we ALL wanted to earn the trip for two! (OF COURSE!). So, to earn the Trip for Two, we need to do a minimum of 10 per month. Her quote, "Under 10 Shows a month...I consider them a Hobbyist." I saw the look on the other girls faces (especially the NC -- most are struggling to find their first 4 bookings TO GET QUALIFIED!!!!). Now, my ED recruits an average of 150 per year...AND does PC F/T with teenager kids. HER VERSION of a F/T Consultant or a 'hobbyist' upset me because she generalized that everyone was in HER life situation. I have 2 kids...my oldest is JUST 2 year old. I felt....umm....inadequate (I think is the word I want to use). Anyways, one girl was SO overwhelmed (she can't find her 2 show and is in month 2 of her NC Start) she was crying! Do you think I misunderstood my ED, or was she insensitive???

p.s. I JUST got my 1st recruit and am really struggling with what kind of Director I am going to be. I am a caring person who WANTS other to succeed. When I told MY Director that my new recruit didn't know who to ask for her first 4-6 shows, my D told me 'that is her problem to figure out.' So, again, I ask you...am I being overly sensitive? Where is 'the HUGE support system' that PC talks about??? Anyone else experience this??????????

I think that she was definitely being insensitive! I think you're right, she is in a different life situation and in a different spot in her PC career. That is really too bad that she has this outlook as I think she will really alienate her consultants rather than help them.

As far as you and what kind of director you want to be, definitely stay true to who you are. You will end up being successful because you will train and support your consultants so they are successful too.

I am with you on the "Huge support system" not being there. My director is the same way. We don't have cluster meetings, I rarely hear from her and she never sends out an email. Reach out to others that you can get support from. I did that here on ChefSuccess and just tonight had a conversation with a Director who was more helpful than my Director has ever been! Also, your support doesn't only have to come from PC avenues. Reach out to others in your life that have been there in the past, or even to those that are successful in what they do.

awwwwww.....Awwww, thanks guys. You are all SOOOOO great! *hug* LOL

Thinkin' about it...maybe my ED wanted the NC to set their goals high???

Well, whichever. As a D, I am going to be a GREAT support system for them and I DO CARE how my new Recruit does!

Thanks for making me feel better...AND for agreeing with me. I KNEW I was right! LOL
