One was a 'maybe" from the fair and the other was a woman that I met at the fair, but she said no to hosting or the opp. She called me out of the blue wanting to have a catalog show. You can't drive to the town that she lives in, so I just gave her regular catalog stuff and didn't push a cooking show. She wrote me on Weds. asking "red flag" questions and I gave her some info about the biz. She called me today to tell me that she is having 42 people over and making a few recipes from the PC cookbooks and showing her PC tools. I signed her right then and there and she will be using her show tomorrow as her VERY FIRST SHOW! It sucks because I was counting on that commission myself, but I'm sure that it is better in the long run. I still have 10 more leads to follow up on that I can't get on the phone!!
 
WAY TO GO Gillian:D :D I'm so happy for you!
 
Yeah Gillian! Director could be just around the corner!!

That's awesome! Way to go - you never know when things will turn around - I am hoping that the same sort of thing will happen for me - just do everything you are supposed to and somehow it will all come back to you!

CONGRATS!

I live in a very populated (for Alaska) part of the state. There are pretty much three patches of people in the state, and the rest are just tiny villages of less than 1000 people. She lives in a tiny fishing villiage with 1000 people, but 42 are coming to her show today!! That is 5% of the whole town! Too bad I'm not making commission on that...

Thanks for sharing in my excitement everyone! I am off to do my 24 bookings in 24 hours challenge that my director just gave me. What a great idea! I wish someone had brought this up on Chef Success 6 weeks ago, LOL!
(That's sarcasm, please don't link me to the thread!!)
 
Congrats! Enjoy your raise!!

Remember that, as a FD (2 active - do not have to be qualified), you earn your overrides (1%) only in months that you submit $1250 or more in sales so keep on bookin' and recruiting!

When you promote to director you get your overrides (3% on your sales and those of your downline) every month that you sell $350, your team (including you) sells $4000 and you have 5 active, qualified on your team. Plus you get other benefits too!! Go for it!
 
Awesome! http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/party/party-smiley-020.gif

Keep it up and you'll promote again in no time!!!
 
Yeee HaaaaaaaaWay to go Gillian! Keep on doing whtaever it is! You'll make director by conference! It be great if you could come down so we could all somehow cheer you on!

That is super!
 
That is great Gillian. Keep up the good work.

Hopefully I will get enough shows to afford to go to conference. I would love to walk as a director there! We'll see... The consultant I signed on Friday almost qualified with the show she held yesterday, so that would help to have one officially qualified consultant under me!
 
Join conference club! Its a great start!
