Empowering PC Business Success: Setting Goals & Accountability

[pchefinski]

Alright I bit the bullet -- here's a place for our goals. (I wasn't sure of where to put it, so I just put it here.) I figure we can hold each other accountable with love and encouragement, and without condemnation, which I think we may fear we'll get if we admit we haven't met our goals. I know everyone here is full of support and we'll root each other on and help one another to reach our goals and attain the success we want to find in our PC business. Good luck to everyone and I can't wait to see how many goals we all can reach!

Going out on a limb here... My goal for August is to hold and submit 5 shows and 1 recruit. Now, I know for many of you that's way low, but TPC is part-time for me and this is a realistic goal for me.

[crystalscookingnow]

My goal is to submit 4 shows @ $500 + and sign one recruit. Help me stick to it, girls!

 

[loreedfk]

We are taking a 10 day vacation in August and I've already decided I'm going to enjoy that and not stress myself out. I have 2 shows scheduled in August - I am going to make those awesome shows and reach the $1000 mark in sales. I am also aiming for 1 recruit while the incentive is on!!

I just wish I had someone to encourage me to make those calls - my biggest stumbling block!

 

[Veevahchef]

My August goal is 8 shows and 2 recruits!
I have 8 shows booked... I need to book another 1 or 2 just to be safe... people tend to "Flake" in the summer.

 

[pamperedalf]

My August Goals:
~ Sell $2,000 in CS. (don't care how many shows I have 5 so far and a fair @ begining of August)
~ Recruit 1 more
~ Qualify my 2 newest recruits
~ Go into Sept. w/ 10 bookings or more
I better stop so it is realistic!

 

[tiffanypc05]

My august goals are to do 12 shows- and get two recruits qualified!!!


My goals just got bigger--to promote to director by the end of August...I have 5 recruits-just have to get the qualified....everyone cross there fingers for me!!!1

 

[speedychef]

I want 6 shows (have 2) with sales over $3K. I want to recruit 2 new people. I was hoping to promote by Sept to get the new products ASAP! Phone calls anyone?! I, too, would love to go into Sept with 10 shows!

 

[michelelashuk]

GoalsMy goal is to book 8 shows for August, recruit 2 and qualify my 2 newest! Not sure how I am going to get the shows though, since I didn't have anything in July!!!!

 

[jwpamp]

My goal is 8 shows for August (have 5 so far), recruit 1 more (have 5), promote by Sept. 1st. (already have my Director Agreement waiting on my desk!) and $3500 in sales (although I would love to have $4000....)

Does anyone know if I will get the new products if I promote by Sept 1st or do I have to wait til next season?

 

[Veevahchef]

YES! I would like to qualify my newest recruit to!

 

[heat123]

Mine is pretty general: I think I want to start recruiting and am having an Open house for the potential leads next month so I am hoping something comes of that.

2. I want to at least reach level 1 Incentives Reward for this year! I am 1/2 way there so my goal I guess is $2k a month until December!

 

[jrstephens]

my goal is to submit $1250 in sales to get the mid-season products for free.

 

[rayday]

Aug GoalMy goal is also to earn the mid-season products free. So I need $1250 in sales but I only have 3 shows on the books so I need to book a couple more. I also want to recruit one more and qualify at least 2. I recruited 2 this month and my husband would really love those Home Depot gift cards!

 

[DZmom]

Well, as y'all can see by my signature, I plan on walking at leadership. So I need to recruit 4 or more and qualify 5! I have one signed, qualified INACTIVE recruit and one recruit that signed July 1st!

I would also like to finish booking my Aug and Sept. My goal is to book8 or more shows a month. For Aug, which is WOW month in the Ishee cluster, I'd like to have 12, but am skeptical about that! I have 3 booked so far and 2 maybe's. I have 2 booked for Sept and 3 maybe's.

 

[shano]

1.I want the mid season products. I need to sell $1250. I have 2 shows booked right now and I want to do 4 more this month. This may seem low to a few of you but high for me. I have never done more than 3 a month.

2. I have a hard time getting on the phone and talking up PC. I need to work on that.

 

[Muppetgal]

I'm going all out, I want to be a Director before my baby comes in December. I have one qualified recruit just now, 6 booked for August, 3 booked in the first two weeks of September and two coffee's set up with potential recruits in the next three weeks. I also have a lady who wants to join but her house just flooded and can't hold her party (to use host points towards kit) so don't know when she'll come on board.

The incentive trip for the UK for next year is Rome and I want to be there with my hubby, even though I'll miss one of our double points months as I'll have just had a baby (January). We're on double points just now for August and first two weeks of September so I have to earn over half the points during then and for recruiting for the next few months.

so overall here are my goals:

~Director by November (which means 4 more hired and qualified)

~win trip for two to Rome by doing the following (18000 points as Director):
3000 in sales in August (double points)
1500 in sales in first two weeks of Sept* (double points)
500 in sales in January at one party (already booked with past host, double points)
1-2 recruits every month from now until Dec 1st, then starting up again in February 1-2 recruits for final two months of earning period (minimum req. 6 recruits at 500 points each makes 3000)
2750 in sales in February
2750 in sales in March

*Sept 15th - Dec 1 sales are not part of earning period

 

[MamaChef]

I need to start getting 8-10 shows on the calendar a month, starting in August! I'd love to have 1-3 recruits per month as well! I'm trying to replace my income from my other job by Christmas so that I can resign. My ultimate goal is to become a director...and if I could walk the stage at Leadership, that would be awesome!!!

 

[lisacb77]

My August goals...August is my SS1, so I'd like to make at least the $1250 in sales to get the first packet. I'd love to bank some sales as well, but I like to goal set conservatively and blow it out of the water! That is almost $300 in commission, or about all the money I've spent so far with the starter kit, website and office supplies, LOL.

If I can get another show or two, great. But I have four so I have already surpassed my original goal of 2!

And I'd like to book at least 4 shows for Sept. I already have one set.

I am not going to put a recruiting goal yet but I would like to work on talking to people about that. I have a friend that should attend one of my Aug shows that has been unemployed for nearly 4 mos now...so she would be a potential as we worked together in our day jobs fundraising and she has the skills. We shall see if that works itself out or not. I'm trying to just inform, not be too pushy!

 

[apriljc]

One of my goals is to get out of my comfort zone and get out there and get more bookings. I wuuld like to start recruiting too. I am doing a couple booths at tso county fairs so I hope this will help me out.

 

[DZmom]

Does anyone know if I will get the new products if I promote by Sept 1st or do I have to wait til next season?

Janice, My Director said that I'd get Level 3 if I could promote by a certain date, but I'm not certain what that date is. I have to call her tomorrow for help with my VERY 1st Recruit Interview. I've recruited 2, but they were both my hosts, and this girl has NEVER EVEN BEEN TO A SHOW!! Wish me luck.

I am not going to put a recruiting goal yet but I would like to work on talking to people about that. I have a friend that should attend one of my Aug shows that has been unemployed for nearly 4 mos now...so she would be a potential as we worked together in our day jobs fundraising and she has the skills.

Lisa, One thing I will tell you is to not wait. Make certain to talk to EVERYONE about not only booking/hosting, but also about joining you in the business. JUST ASK!! This is my new mantra! I picked it up from conference and will NEVER forget it. You don't want to be in the biz for a while and then learn that a prior host or guest just signed with someone else because you didn't ask. MAKE SURE TO ASK EVERYONE! People that you think would never go for it could be the one that sets your biz on FIRE!

 

[Paige Dixon]

ATLANTIS!
And, I'm terrible at recruiting, but I want to sign (and hopefully QUALIFY) 3 recruits for the July/Aug promo. I've got one- we'll see if we can get her qualified!
Here's a long-shot for me since I'm TERRIBLE about qualifying/retaining consultants: TPC in recruiting!!!
Oh, also when school starts I want to spend some time really meeting with the area home builders and trying to hook them on closing gifts.
And Pampering a business once or twice a season!

 

[Sk8Mom209]

My goal for August is 6 shows with at least $2,500 in sales (trying to earn level 1) and 1 recruit

 

[lisacb77]

Thanks!Donna, thanks for the tip! I do plan to work the recruiting info into my shows, as well as ask about that and bookings as I check out each guest at a Kitchen Show. I guess I just want to set my expectation low and be pleasantly surprised when it works!

 

[chee65]

Okay, here's my goal for August:

To make $3000.00 in sales. I have 5 shows booked and 2 maybes. I need 3 more shows booked at least.

To recruit at least 2 people. I have an Opportunity Night on Aug 4. So we'll see.

To reach the 15,000 career sales mark, I am at about 12,000 right now.

I guess that's it. I guess I better hit the phones tonight.

Goals for the next 12 monthsMy goals are to become a Director before the next Nat'l Conference

To increase my show schedule to a consistent 4 shows a month

I'd also like to earn Level 1 of the Irresistable Rewards...

I currently have 2 recruits, but one looks like she may go inactive, so I need to recruit and qualify 4 more!

 

[ChefinHarmony]

Thank you! Here goes...I didn't go to conference, but the Cluster meeting got me fired up! I spent all weekend organizing my business.

1. August looks good for me - 5 solid shows with 2 Open Houses/Previews
2. I want to Jam pack my Sept & October! I'll take as many as I can get. Hubby is really on board with this one.
3. I would really like to get 2 recruits before the end of the year. So, I'm going to try to focus on recruiting more.
4. Spend time on getting some Bridal Registrys - visit local halls, etc.
5. Personally I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Level 2 - I should get Level 1 easily - I'm almost there now $4K away.

Thanks for this thread - are you going to follow-up and hold us accountable?!?!?

[Katiechef]

My August Goals-
$2500 in sales
4 bookings for September
1 recruit (would be my first one)2 would be better
Earn my SS3 stuff as well as mid-season products

 

[krzymomof4]

Well, my goals are going to sound a bit strange.
I am kind of skipping August, just doing a few catalog shows that I have out.
My goals will start in Sept.
I am striving for: 6 shows in Sept. with at least $2500 in sales.
Starting to make at least 2 non booking related calls per day.
Recruit 1 person by November to be a Future.

[dollfangs]

Cat,
Great minds must think alike because I have the same goals. I don't however have any recruits yet. I do have a few interested so we shall see. I also want to have shows that stick. I started with 9 shows this month and will end with 4
