How Are You Doing With the New "Lead System"

[Dina Atnip]

Well this pretty much sums it up it stinks we need to be telling home office this also.

Yep -- got an order for a replacement lid for the batter bowl from someone I didn't know. I am picking up the shipping, so I'm going backwards on that one. Hopefully it will lead to more orders down the road. No leads for shows or interest in the biz since mid-April. UNusual.

I had a host tell me that earlier this month she was trying to find the show I put in for her. (She went to the beta site thinking it would be better). She said she put in information and she got a message that a consultant would be contacting her. She didn't want one to contact her, but she didn't want that and planned to tell them sorry she had a consultant but noone has called. Probably because no one knew they were supposed to.

Lovely. :/

I did get a lead last week or so. She wanted a large round stone. That is my only lead since April or May. I have gotten one or two online orders each month but way less than before.

What exactly are the new requirements for the lead system? Just $1250 in the last month? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

yes. that is currently it.

Just had to share that I got my first lead a couple weeks ago. I had someone email me to do a vendor event. At the event today I asked her how she got a hold of me (sometimes my upline will send people to me since I like to do these events). She said she went to the website and put in the zip code and I was the closest one. I'll take it!

It just keeps getting better and better :grumpy: I got a "lead" sent to my website for an order that was CANCELLED! WHAT!!! So now I get to wait until my 9/22 commission statement to see if I get to have $33 deducted from my sales for a cancellation "sent to my website". HO doesn't know, couldn't even find it in the system.

I can't imagine that you would be punished for an order that was sent to your site, and wasn't on a party, but please keep us posted on that one!

How does this system work exactly? I am finally eligible for leads but just to try it out I went to the site, clicked find a consultant and put in my street name and zip code and I didn't even show up - but a girl I know 15 miles away did! How does that help anybody? And are you automatically subscribed to eBizTools or is that something you have to pay extra for? I know it's part of the new system and I'm not part of that yet because I'm not new or a director. It says you have to be an eBizTools subscriber to be eligible for leads.

This has been the complaint, about putting in find a consultant, and your name not coming up, I did this with my mother, who lives next door to me, and my name never showed up! I don't know, I think it's screwy, and I hope they change it to how it used to be. That seemed much more fair. I think you are subscribed to ebiz with your website...as long as you have a website you should be able to get "leads"...

 

[sandilou]

This year I got $12 in online orders in December, $80 in November, both from people I know. Not a single lead order even though I qualify. I used to bust my butt to make sure I qualified for leads, but now there isn't really any benefit from doing that. I don't know who is getting the leads, but its not me or anyone on my team. I've heard there is a new guy consultant in the area -- he is probably getting them. I haven't gotten a recruit lead since the new system went in place.

It has been a very long time since I've received leads--very long. What is ebiz? Did I miss something?

 

[DebPC]

Doe's anyone think they will announce they are changing the lead system at Spring Launch?

 

[gailz2]

I called HO yesterday about the leads (I've been eligible every month but receive none). I am from a small town, and anyone in our town who puts in their address receives 5 names of people from an hour away, and possibly more. I think there should be a disclaimer stating that this is NOT A COMPLETE LIST of consultants in their area. I am sure people think some of us are no longer with Pampered Chef, as several do fall by the wayside. I've been with the company for 6 years! My name is at the end of the alphabet--does that matter? Does the fact I don't post my picture (as noted by an earlier post) make it so they may choose someone whose picture they like? How fair is any of this??? Very, very frustrating. I don't hear anyone on here say they are receiving the leads at all like they used to. HO needs to make some changes.

I don't think the lack of picture disqualifies you. I did a search for my area and three of the five didn't have a picture.

I was just saying that as one person on here noted she had her picture and the others didn't that came up on the search and the lady said that is why she picked her.

 

[byrd1956]

Just got a pretty decent online order. No contact info and I did not know her. So, I cannot thank her or contact her.
The order was nice; had she called I would have put it on one of the shows that are too low right now.

 

[DebPC]

I know- I loved the olden days- when we got to call them. But it's nice to hear some good news!

 

[pclinskie]

HATE IT. nothing in a year, I used to get a couple hundred a month in online sales from leads

I never use to get anything. I've gotten maybe 4 in the past year; one was a huge show which led to another pretty good show. So I cannot complain.

I sure hope so because I've had NOTHING this whole past year and I've had $1250+ every single month.

I have never received anything from leads. I typed my moms address in 1 day just to see what came up for our small little town. Not me. It's kind of upsetting just for the fact that at Christmas time I happen to be out at the mail box when the mailman pulled up and his back seat was full of packages from pampered chef that day and not 1 order had come from me
