I didn't get any either, but another director shared two that were closer to me. Of course I called and left messages, but no response yet.
 
Had one of those mornings! I got into a tiff with my sister right before I had planned to make my calls (not good) so I was grumpy when I started on these today... made 11 calls. 6 were wrong numbers or disconnected... 4 I left messages for... I was getting discouraged but decided to make ONE MORE CALL! The lady said, "Call me back in 7 minutes." Okay... that's random but I always like to keep my word when I say I will call back so I called back in 7 minutes. She scheduled for March 2nd!!!! I'm very happy because I had 2 cancel in Feb due to snow and 2 already cancel in March and that bummed me out this week. I usually never have cancellations so it hit me a little hard.So back in the saddle!!!!
 
How strange that she would say 7 minutes! Maybe she was testing you;). At least you passed the test. I would have at least given her 10-15 just to be sure.

Way to go!

THANKS! I called her in 8 minutes... I was so sure I was going to get voicemail so I was very surprised when she answered and was so nice to me! Clearly she really wanted a show and I called at just the right time!
 
That's awesome Colleen!!! Woohoooo!!! :):)
 
Did anyone get an email today with more leads? I got one. I guess if a director didn't open her report by 2/18, they re assigned the list.
 
I just got 3 more pages! And on it they list the director who didn't do anything with the leads... two of them I know! And I am shocked they didn't take advantage of this opportunity!
 
I didn't get the email but I just checked my reports and they updated the host referral report today. Looks like the same names and it says:

Original Lead: 293182 Beth Brigham

Go figure.
 
I got the email today and got an additional 4 pages of leads. Did you notice that the original director is not able to participate in this program in the future.
 
I just realized where it shows the original lead person.
Gosh, why would someone not doing anything with the list.
 
I went to the website of the original lead director...her My Calendar is all July dates and her My News highlights the specials from August. Looks like she isn't really working her business anymore.
 
I still got nuthin' :)
 
What is the subject heading on these e-mails... Hope I didn't miss anything or deleted it with spam (yikes!)

That's awesome! My list is still the same...only 1 page. I wonder how they know the original director didn't follow up with the leads?
 
I think it means they never went and opened the report.
 
How did you find the directors web site?
I just have a name of the director who didn't follow up with these.
 
I did a little quick sleuthing. I first just tried typing her name onto www.pamperedchef.biz/ but that didn't work. So I went to whitepages.com and typed in her name and our state. I got about 6 hits. I then went to the new 'find your consultant' feature on the PC home page and typed in a zip code from the white pages search. On the fourth try I got a match. When I clicked the 'go to her website' option, I saw she doesn't seem to be working her business right now.

It was a shot in the dark. If she had been unlisted, I wouldn't have been able to find it.
 
Has anyone done this as a cluster booking activity as suggested in the Q & A?
I'm doing that tonight with my team. I know several of them could use a new lead. I have 7 pages and could never follow up with all of them right now. So I'm giving each consultant who asked to participate 4-5 leads to call tonight. In the time frame I also challenged them to call any other leads they may have. So yeah it is pretty much a booking blitz.
 
One of my gals goes to hospitality and that director gave most of her leads to them. When she called them, NONE of them had received the mailing from the HO!!!!
 
I just got off my conf. call with my group.
I prepared them for those that didn't get the mailing. Last time we got these, I had a ton that said I didn't get anything.

Oh, wow, that's good to know since I've been saying in my messages that they should have received a mailing with the mini catalog.
 
FYI I did check with HO after getting the reassigned leads. I couldn't remember if I confirmed the leads by clicking on something (like for HO referrals) or not. She told me that all we needed to do was to open the report. My concern was that the previous director had opened the report, printed it and didn't go through the step of confirming it. So, the reassigned leads are not available to the previous director - make sense?
 
Out of all the ones I called last night only 1 said she didn't get the mailing. So that isn't too bad.
I think the majority did get it.

I got my list! 7 pages but some are SO FAR AWAY from me! 50 miles is a HUGE radius!!!! And I can't believe no other directors around here qualified to get the list. But woo-hoo for me!!!!

If they aren't checking the list regularly, they are giving leads to those that ARE checking! So keep checking!!!

I gave all of mine (4 pages) to my downline that wanted them b/c I just knew I wasn't going to be timely when I got them, and also wanted to help build their businesses. None of them panned out. Oh well.

I would also like to know what you are all saying. :)
