never mind,, it is working,, it was my computer

You also can become a director if you have $75,000 in personal sales for the last 12 rolling months, and $6000 in sales for that current month. Without recruiting anyone.

 

[Ginger428]

There are 3 video/slide shows. The first one explains Consultant, Senior Consultant, Team Leader and Director.

But I too have a short attention span. I watched that one...but I will wait until later to watch the others.

I hear ya!! I really wanted to listen to the others, but I really need to do some other things around the house....

 

[kam]

Unless you have a recruit who submits $150 in sales. Then, the LINE is active, and counts for the TL or Director. You would not get the 1% override on your sales or your recruit's sales, though.

Robin

No, I would have no recruits and I am trying to find out what happens to me if I am inactive for a month. I am still watching the videos, maybe it will explain...

PArt 1 didn't really say and Part 2 looks like it will focus on AD and above...

 

[kreaser]

I just watched "listened" to the whole thing...it is very well organized...just long...29 minutes to be exact...45 slides used...everything sounds great, except the directors needing the 2 other lines to keep them as director...I have a feeling that many directors will lose their status...they need only 4 recruits, but 2 of those also have had to recruited someone, and between that person and their recruit they need to be an active line for the month (meaning at least one of those had to submit 150 for the month. And this has to happen 'every" month..yikes...I'm nervous about this..I have a wonderful cluster, and 1 of my gals has 2 recruits right now, and another is getting ready to recruit one, so I would be ok for now...but no matter how many recruits I do myself, I could still lose my directorship if others dont or cant' or don't want to have recruiting be part of their business..I don't think this is right. I can see directors "passing recruit leads" to their recuits just to have to maintain directorship..especially if the director already has more than 4 personal recruits...this is crazy!!!!!
Im also afraid that it may discourage others from trying for directoship since more is at stake and more "maintaining" is needed...just my thoughts.

 

[priscilla]

Why is it crazy to pass on recruit leads? Isn't that part of being a leader? And Team Leaders will be receiving leads from HO, and while they may not all pan out they are still a possibility to help with sales and recruits.My opinion is to be a director you should be a leader with depth in your organization. This structure rewards that depth. It also rewards those with recruits no matter what level and right away, not after the recruit qualifies.Robin

 

[chef131doreen]

You are right You must always have people under you maintain 150.00 in sales to to stay at a level it seams we will be bouncing back and forth all the time , now the free new products that directors get didn't come up at all what if you maintain for so long then drop down you may not get the new products i know we have to really understand this but it seems likre too much to keep up every month

 

[priscilla]

Okay, I am on section three. A lot of these concerns about bouncing around are addressed. Seriously, watch them all before making a decision or forming an opinion. Example- You are a Director under the new plan. You miss some of the requirements for a month. you remain a Director, but are paid as a Team Leader. If you meet the Director req. the next month, you get the Director overrides. If you miss the Director req three months in a row, you drop to the title of Team Leader, but can repromote at any time by meeting the req.Also, the same month you meet the requirements you get the bonuses. No more waiting a month to get those overrides.Robin

[ChefBeckyD]

I just watched the whole thing - and I am THRILLED THRILLED THRILLED!

I am so excited about my future with PC!

 

[coriatc]

What I want to find out more about, is if, as a Consultant, if I don't submit sales in a month and I am "inactive" - what does that really mean for ME? It appears as though if I do not submit $150 in a month, it affects my Team Leader or Director.

Since the Director levels requires ACTIVE lines, and I don't submit in a given month, that would affect my director since I would be an INACTIVE line.

Only ONE person in a line has to be active!! it's not as bad as it seems.

 

[priscilla]

Director, AD, and Senior Direct: For April, May, and June, they will compare your earnings under the old and new plan, and pay you the higher.Pretty nice company, huh?Robin

 

[cookn' katie]

Any news yet on incentives??? I am dying here! Just watched the video! I love the new plan. I think it will be easier to recruit and build. I don't think you will be able to have "lazy" months anymore. This new plan is all about consistancy.

 

[priscilla]

Car program for the higher levels!!Robin

 

[prepchef]

Did they say anything about what they are going to do next year instead of a Leadership Conf?

 

[pampered.chris]

I am looking forward to seeing the new consultant news and the March & April host/guest specials.

I wonder where they are? I thought they were being posted today?

 

[Kodeysmom]

Car program for the higher levels!!

Robin

Yeah top is $900 a month-good gracious!!

 

[priscilla]

Yeah top is $900 a month-good gracious!!

Any car you want! Your current payment if you want! WOW!!

Robin

 

[bgpamperedchef]

THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!! With the new plan it will be so much easier to build our teams and encourage our consultants to get out there and recruit their very first consultant! It is no longer intimidating and complicated to promote to director...

IT IS SO ACHEIVABLE FOR EVERYONE! WAHOOOOO!!!!! :chef:

 

[candiejayne]

I don't think they ever said there won't be any more leaderships, what they said is this is the last of it's kind. I think with this restructure, they will restructure leadership too! jmo

 

[cookn' katie]

I have called my director and my AD. Where is everyone with the news? I need to know so I can actually get something done today. I have sat in front of this computer all morning with my hot coccoa. Help Me~ I am starting to get a buzz from the chocolate.

 

[candiejayne]

where abouts in IA is oxford? I'm in IL, but can look out the window into IA

 

[Kattyschack]

I was just told that the specials for March is the silicone bake stuff and pans and April is all the new bamboo stuff.....that is all I know for now!

 

[cookn' katie]

where abouts in IA is oxford? I'm in IL, but can look out the window into IA

I live about 15 just west of Iowa City. Where are you in IL?

I guess what I was trying to say was:

It appears as though if I am inactive for one month it does not affect ME so much as it might affect my TL, or Director. Especially if they don't have a lot of lines.

I am trying to figure out Consultant Level effect of the $150/month sales requirement. I can't seem to find out what happens in the month that I am inactive. I have no recruits and I am just at the Consultant Level. So what happens during those months I am inactive? Nothing? If I sumbit $150 or more the next month, I guess my career sales are still in place. So maybe this is better than the $200 rolling (for me as a consultant).

 

[Get_Pampered]

Everyone should watch all 3 slides - I just did and I am soooooo excited about my future with PC!!! Each slide will have stuff that doesn't pertain to you right now but each slide also has information that applies to everyone. WATCH ALL 3! Even though it is a ways away from me currently, I am happy to hear about the car allowance. I've always felt that PC was behind the times by offering jewelry but nothing to do with vehicles. I am a practical person and would rather have a vehicle (we all need one for our business) than jewelry that may or may not be my style.I am off to the local farmer's market with my catalog tote!!!P.S. My hubby just said his confidence about my career with PC was boosted by this news....so watch with your loved ones

 

[kam]

It almost seems as though there is no more "coasting by" to be a director. They really want directors to be active team leaders AND builders.

Right now I can't see myself putting enough into PC to become a TL or Director (that was never my goal). But, I would have to say, IF I made the decision to quit my FT job and put all my effort into PC, I could see that it might be easier for me to reach pretty good income levels to make it worth my while to quit the FT job.

Correct. They are rewarding for consistency. Your upline will see something if you do not do $150 in a month, but that means they need to have more than the minimum people to be safe...same as now. The difference is if they do not have the minimum requirements to receive the Director benefits they get the next level down overrides. If the next month they have the requirements for Director, they again receive the Director benefits.

Consistency is what the company is rewarding.

[twinkie10]

I'm excited to see that Team Leaders will receive Home office leads! They are trying to build their businesses, too! This will help them promote and therefore help the upline!
