Who May Find This Useful

Consultants interested in understanding the dynamics of commission structures and company communications may find this thread relevant.

I didn't post it b/c I thought it would draw too many harsh reactions but I was thinking about how great it would be for them to do the big mid-year change. The Fall change is not something I saw coming.
 
Think it's goind to be a good thing. It'll be like NC, but for leaders with trainings we as leaders need. :) we'll stil get to network and hopefully motivate everyone to have at least 2 team members.

I like having 2 company sponsered trainings for our teams and think attendance will be much higher.

Looking forward to it. I laughed pretty hard when that caller asked for NC date and Jean's attempt to answer without making her feel stupid. Mean streak going on my end. Sigh.
 
WAAAH I will be at Bunco tonight
and my call is during the time the babies are here where is the spoiler thread????

What will happen to our planned kayaking trip on the river?!?!?AHHHHH! I do plan on hopefully going for a few extra days if airfare/schedules work out so we'll have to find something in Denver. White water rafting? LOL (ok i'm really not that adventurous b/c I would prob fall out, get stuck under the raft and drown. But the thought is fun!) :clap:

I'd with you, I'll go rafting with you - maybe if your on one side and i'm on the other - we can stabilize the raft - so we won't flip

I'm totally loving the rafting idea. And maybe a hike...we did it before unintentionally! Ha ha. We'll find something to entertain us, and we'll celebrate with a bloody Mary for me and a mojito for you.

Between work, personal life and a party...I am totally in the dark. Barely able to check my e-mail I know that there was or is going to be a call. :(
