Frustrated Consultant Misses Out: No Confrence Secrets!

[Chef_2_Four]

I will admit when I first found out about this site I was like $5, but after my $5 I am here and kicking!! I love this site and the men and women here! I have gotten tons of info here that I have shared with my director and recruiter and I love the lounge!! Granted I didn't get to go to conference and would love to know before my meeting monday but I would be so upset if I was in Wave 2 or 3 and someone spoiled it for me!! So I completely agree with the rules of no spoilers!!!

If I just happened to come across this site without knowing anything about it, I probably would be leary of paying and using my credit card or paypal. But since I was a member when it was free I knew it was great. That is why I pay for all of my recruits first year on here. I want them to see how great it is without worrying about using their personal info when they pay.

I also was leary about spending the $5 because I didn't have any idea what this site really was. I asked a PC consultant about it and she said it was great and well worth the $5. I wouldn't have signed up if I didn't hear that from a trusted source. Tha's why I shared the site with consultants at conference.

 

[shawchef]

I have more info from this site than my whole cluster. Well worth the $5 just give it a chance and you will become addicted to it like I am.

 

[AJPratt]

Welcome, Tabitha! I know the $5 seems like a pain, but there is so much that tihis site offers, and I am glad you are giving it a chance! We'll rope you in yet! Hey, although that was a bit of a beating you took (have had my fair share), at least you know when you ask a question, you'll get a really honest response! I like the tell-it-like-it-is people myself. I've always said, "I'd rather be punched in the face than stabbed in the back."

I can understand why you would be disappointed about that thread. I was too when I first read it! And, I am going to NC--but I'm impatient! I know, I'm terrible!

 

[jdavis]

Even if there would have been a thread on here that told all the secrets, it would have been deleted rather quickly, they 'police' the web pretty good at this time of year and yank the spoilers pretty quickly, as they did last year. Other than that, put your years subscription to some good use, there are SOOO many great ideas and fliers on here it is DEFINATELY not a waste of $5.

The fee for Chef Success: $5.00. The wealth of information and resources I have recieved to grow my business: Priceless! This is such a great community to be a part of and I think the $5.00 is a great investment.

I am sorry to hear your child isn't feeling well. I understand how it can make your day just as horrible sometimes. Welcome and I hope you begin to enjoy the value of this site as much as the rest of us have.

Years ago 7 or 8 years when I started we would go to cluster meetings and only the peolpe that went to NC knew anything, My Director would make a big deal and make it into a show about the new products
It was so exciting . So now that we have CS its very different every one knows stuff way before the Cluster meetings

 

[mistym]

Hey Tabitha....welcome!!

I am glad you posted again and said what you did Bit of a rough start but I hope you stick around and use this site as your virtual cluster. We are all here to help and support each other in all matters great and small.

Ask any and all questions and you will be sure to get a response.

Later

Wow - who peed in your Post Toasties this morning? I mean, really.

Thanks Gred and Deb for this site. I'll gladly pay another $20 when it is time for me to renew. It has been worth every penny.

And another thing, missy. I don't just "chat" on this site. I've made friends that I'll carry with me for the rest of my life. I've reduced the learning curve in my business by months and months because of the information here. I've never had to wait more than 15 minutes for an answer to some question I've had -- I'm lucky to get an answer in 24 hrs from my upline.

I understand you being disappointed that you didn't get what you wanted. But rudeness really isn't called for.

Oh, and the new products are INCREDIBLE. Customers are going to be going WILD! It was an AWESOME conference. You should have been there.

ETA: Now that I think of it, I paid several HUNDRED dollars to get an advanced view of the new products - and you complain because you didn't for $5? Things that make you go hmmmm.

Noaaaowww, lets not go saying to raise the price!! This comes from a penny pincher!! I also think it is well worth it, but no need to raise the price! It is perfect just how it is!

Welcome Tabita. Please accept my apology...as I was one of the 'snappers'.

This truly is an awesome sight and your initial posting triggered a rather gut response. I camped out here my first couple months. It saved me months in my learning curve also.

Welcome aboard!

 

[luvbeingachef]

Well here's my two cents :0) I don't know if July is a slow month for the rest of you but it's usually my slowest. I'm offering to pay the $5 subscription for each and every one of my downline consultants that submit at least $200 in sales this month - because I love this site and have found invaluable info here. I don't post often but I bounce in and read and search when I can. I would never have met Rita and got to use her WONDERFUL Newsletters if it wasn't for this sight. I recommend it highly and was a contributor before they even required you to.

 

[micocina]

My 2 cents... I absolutely love this site. Thanks Greg and Deb! You guys are doing an awesome job! I've been a cheffer for a while now, I haven't been as active in the biz as I would like to, (busy with 3 homeschoolers), but all I can say is that chefsuccess has been my virtual cluster to me. I can't imagine why someone would complain about the $5 fee. Think about all the virtual training and priceless information that we've gotten from this site not to mention the comaraderie. Did you see how many of us snapped back at Tabitha? I don't think anyone meant any harm, but we are a family and I am very thankful to Greg for keeping this site up for us. It is worth more than the $20 that I pay.

 

[angmillar]

YES!! I love this site, and I am sooooo glad I signed up for it.

 

[pamperedpsalmstress]

The $5 was instituted about a year ago, so the $5 would have been a recent payment.

Thanks, I've only been w/PC 4 months, only just went to my first hospitality cluster meeting Monday night so depend upon this site more than I should.

I also want to apologize to Tab for being so snippy. I too was having a really bad day, didn't realize I was so cranky, sorry.

 

[chunkysalsa]

Ya'll just crack me up. Obviously you can see by my posts that I don't say a lot, but I have spent hours upon hours sitting and reading and laughing. It is like sitting and looking at a photo album. Only better cause the people are truly alive! You hear about successes, disapointments, joys, fears, and just downright crazy adlibs. This is a wonderful "home" to come to no matter what kind of a day I am having, and I am so glad I stumbled upon it!!Thank you all for your support (even though you probably had no I idea you were necessarily giving it to me! I have learned so much here and I just couldn't keep my mouth shut on this thread. (See, aren't you glad I don't post more often! I write novels! ha!)-Kristen

I am a recent new member to Cheffers and I agree, it is the best! For years I've been on info loops from yahoogroups.com but found it increasingly frustrating to find anything of use there. I have just begun to use the Cheffers files section for flyers and such and am in heaven! Plus, the rapid pace people obviously read and reply is a breath of fresh air! And, a lot of newbies aren't aware of the rules of the site or PC so hopefully this will answer a lot of folks questions on WHY we can't share freely yet.

Anne!! Look at your sexy new hair! I haven't been on for a few days and you go get a hair makeover! Have you lost some weight since the last pic was taken? You look fabulous, dahling, just fabulous!!

I totally agree! I joiuned when it was free but acquiring all the info has been priceless even with the $5 per year fee! I know that without finding CS I would never had signed up with TPC, found my awesome Director here and would not have been as successful as I am today with out this wonderful Site! And the Friends that I have met here are icing on the cake! Welcome and enjoy, you will love it!

 

[pc05mom]

I have to agree...I love this site! I don't post a lot....okay...hardly at all!! My director and I don't exactly see eye to eye so I feel as if this my virtual cluster!! This site makes me feel like I'm not running my business all alone. I can't make it through a day with out checking out whats going on here!! I can't believe I only pay $5 to recieve all of the information and support that this site has to offer. It's driving me crazy not knowing what the new products are but the wait will be more than worth it!! I'm just so excited...I love this time of year....it's like Christmas!!

 

[AJPratt]

Anne!! Look at your sexy new hair! I haven't been on for a few days and you go get a hair makeover! Have you lost some weight since the last pic was taken? You look fabulous, dahling, just fabulous!!

Thanks! Its a rather new 'do and I have lost 20 pounds. I still feel and look like a tub 'o lard, but I'm going in the right direction!

<<End thread hijack! Sorry Tab>>

 

[heat123]

I forgot to mention the new pic when I saw it but that was around the time of the crazy announcement when I noticed it so it slipped my mind to post it! Very cute and Fresh looking Ann! Keep up the great job on weightloss! I wish I could lose 20lbs! How are you doing it? Good luck!

 

[JAE]

Heather, you look great. You would be a twig if you lost 20 pounds.
JAE

 

[heat123]

Awwwhh, thanks Jill, how sweet of you to say! No really, I'd be happy with 10-15 lbs less of me! It's just so hard with those last 10 lbs, !

 

[Chef Kearns]

ARE YOU KIDDING, HEATHER?!!! Yes, I'm yelling! I sat next to her and Linda in a class at conference. Heather is just like her name implies...HOT!! You don't have another 10-15 to lose! From where, honey? I could give you a few pounds if you just want something to do.

 

[pamperedbecky]

I agree!!!! You are a cutie Heather, just the way you are!

That's what I was thinking. And, it was so nice to meet both of you!

 

[pckrissy]

I agree with all of you....what I've gotten from this is WELL worth $5....ideas, tips, support, friends, it the best...

 

[heat123]

Awwhh, thanks gals ! It was so nice to meet all of you ladies! If it weren't for this place I never would have met such great supportive freinds!

 

[PampMomof3]

I agree with all of you....what I've gotten from this is WELL worth $5....ideas, tips, support, friends, it the best...

Amen to that!!! The $5 isn't worth an issue here. When they first initiated the paid fee, I paid $20 for the first year. Money was tight when I had to pay again so I gladly paid the $5. I have gained a WEALTH of knowledge, been able to share my happy and sad times of my biz here and know that everyone understands.

i LOVE this site and have made really great friends. I met Deb Jennings here, but got to meet her in person on our San Francisco Incentive trip. I also spent 5 hours with her in Chicago and crashed the mng on Wednesday (the 11th). I know Krissy and I great friends and close because we walked together and that was a HUGE moment in our lives!

Sorry to hear of your child though. I hope she's doing okay now.
