Who May Find This Useful

I've received three postcards too but no surprises. I think they should save the postcard postage and just send us an email. Then they can use the money saved on postage for this "surprise" that's coming. I'm excited to see what it is!
 
Has anyone called HO to find out about the surprise?????

It wouldn't be a surprise now would it if you called and asked? :D

I just had a thought, I know that some have said that they didn't receive the 50 free receipts. Just wondering if there is a correlation between that and this surprise?
 
I received my free receipts with my supply order. I like free stuff, but free receipts wouldn't be a very exciting incentive...lol. I keep racking my brain trying to figure it out. And, if they sent receipts I wouldn't complain...like I said, I like free stuff.
 
Well, I guess I got my surprise!! A recorded congratulatory phone call from Jean Jonas. Woohoo!!
 
That's just what I was going to say. Got my call too. (I really don't get too excited about those sort of things though. Now, if it was an in-person call, that'd be something else, but my sales weren't THAT good...Great for ME though. :D )

ME TOO

ME TOO

:thumbup:
 
Just got my call too!
 
I got home to my Mom saying, "I answered your phone for you because the caller ID said Pampered Chef and it was some advertisement call saying, 'Congratulations for having $150 in sales for 3 months in a row.'" (Said in a snotty voice...)So, I totally missed my call...my husband always lets the answering machine get it so I can hear it when I get home from work.

Got my call to. Would have loved to have a real person call me. Or see my name in print.

I was, too, but really, we're doing exactly what we're supposed to be doing, right?
 
I got the call today too, took forever for it to come on however.
 
I got my call a little while ago also!

Yeah, but since they brought up that we'd get a special surprise, it made me hope for something a little different. The pat on the back is nice though. :D
 
So what I don't understand is -the calls are for people who submitted a min. of $150 a month May, June, July???

I don't want to make assumptions here but if so, I've totally been missed! lol Oh well.

Congrats to all who got calls!
 
Its only for consultants and senior consultants, if I remember correctly.
 
so of those who got calls, did you also get a free pack of receipts in your supply order? i got the mystery receipts and a call today.
 
I got a call, but haven't placed a supply order, so I don't know about the receipts. Hopefully I'll get them when I submit my next supply order. Did you have to request them?
 
no, they were a surprise. or more accurately, i freaked out & double checked my p3 order to make sure they didn't charge me for them! lol!

lol! When I saw a call from HO today on my caller ID my first thought was "I wondered what I did wrong." Silly me...
 
I got the call!I know there are those who don't think this is a big deal. I understand. However, I think it's great that Jean Jonas takes the time to record those calls. Then, the HO pays someone to arrange for those calls to go out to each of us who earned it. My husband has worked for the same company for 17 years. His superiors have never called to congratulate him for doing a good job. Yes, I'd be very glad to have received something tangible. I've saved the postcards in my "Yea for Me!" file. For now the call is saved in my voicemail archive. I'm pleased to be rewarded (however intangibly) for my hard work.
 
I got a postcard May June and July and no surprise. Maybe it is coming. I hope so I love surprises:love:
 
I got my call! I was excited. I even talked back to Jean even though I knew it was a recording! It was more fun that way!

I know - doesn't take much to make me happy:)!!
 
I don't think the receipts were related to whether you were active or not for 3 months in a row...

Okay, I saved the message, maybe it would be more fun to hear if I talk back and hold a conversation with her. He he...
