How can I reach my goal of 20,000 points and earn a trip to Hawaii?

[beckyjsmith]

On another note - I called a sister consultant & talked with her today. She's already acheived Level 4 (level 4, people!!) and gave me some pointers.

I told her that I need 20,000 points. She said, Oh, girl. But then I broke it down for her. After I broke it down, we discussed my show average & what I need to do to get those points. Here's the break-down.

I've got 2 to qualify (-4,000) points, leaves me with 16,000
I've got a good fundraiser going on (-4,000) points, leaves me with 12,000
I've got at least two good parties this month (-1500) points, leaves me with 10,500

12 parties, plus hosting my own party = My average is 800 right now.

13 parties * 800 = 10,400

I just added two catalog parties (they're gravy) and have been receiving leads through the HO team leader rotation.

* Go through your contact list & hand pick 20 people to call. Tell them your goal & that you need their help.

* Send the rest of your contacts a newsletter with the same information. Follow up on those with a phone call.

Great advice! I will have level four by December 10 when I get the points for promoting to AD. Right now I have 98000 points with 10 qualified. November is a great month for recruiting. You can do it! Great breakdown!

I've got 4 new parties scheduled & my host that was working for the $1,000 party is going to sign & turn it in as hers.

Go Crystal! Go Crystal! Go Crystal!

You're making it happen!!!

Well a few years ago when I wanted to reach TPC I went to every business and hair salon , Bank Doctors office ect. I gave them a 1 catalog Order form and said I would be back to get the orders in 1 week
1. I did not charge them Shipping I delivered the product to the business paid for that myself
2. I also gave them 10 % off the orders
3. I did tell them I was working toward a level for the Ring
I did over 9200.00 that month of May and did earn TPC I didn't think it was possible I also told my family to work with me here this was big for me and they where great helping around the house ect

It was alot of work going around town ect but worth it I REALLY should do that again soon for that kind of sales
Hope to see you guys in Disney

Update:

Tonight I've been making phone calls & basically begging people to help me. I'm not above it. With that....

8 phone calls

2 messages (these were both home office leads)
1 catalog party
1 checking with sister about possible party
2 booked parties (Dec. 1 & 10)
2 taking books to work & will definitely place orders

Not bad!

That is awesome!!! My recruit leads keep changing their minds. It is making me crazy! One was supposed to sign today but last week they lost her boyfriends unemployment and no matter what I offered or said she said she could sign up right now. We changed her grand opening to my show. Then I had another and now she wants to sign after the holidays. Just told me tonight. But then another just emailed me and told me she was still interested. :yuck: I can't keep up!

Great Job Crystal! You are helping keep me inspired.

 

[crystalscookingnow]

Great Job Crystal! You are helping keep me inspired.

Glad to help! I've got my list of 5 calls to make today too. I'm starting at 10:00.

 

[Krista Burson]

Alright Crystal... You've inspired me...

 

[OhmyDLM]

Ok, love this thread and I need some help! So I'm going to break it down here in hopes of making myself accountable...

I need 15,829 points to earn Disney Level 2

I have signed 5 new team members since last month that need to qualify. I'm honestly not sure that they all will before December ends, but I must commit to providing them with some personal training in hope of encouraging them to do so! This would give me 10,000 more points bringing my points needed to 5,829.

I have 1000 worth of sales already this month that haven't been submitted, bringing my points needed to 4,829.

I have two more shows this weekend that I'm hoping to bring in about another 1000 points - leaving 3,829 points.

I have three shows scheduled for December and am more than willing to add more to my calendar. I also have some potential November catalog shows going on right now, I say potential because they need some more host coaching from me to actually pan out, but the interest is there. Sooooo, basically, I need to hope for the 5 recruits to qualify and for myself to come up with the other 4000 points needed on my own!

I can do this, I'm just so freaking afraid of that phone, I keep coming up with excuse after excuse to not pick it up. I'm never prepared enough, or never have enough time, blah blah blah. It's all in my head and I'm struggling to overcome it!!!

 

[christinaspc]

UPdate; I am needing 2000 points left for earning level 2 and I still have 15 more shows before the end of year congrats on everyones progress.

 

[Jennie4PC]

Wow christina that is awsome. I need abot 5k points to get disney. I have all 4 recruits which have all qualified, Plus I still have 9 shows on my calandar. I am going to do it if it kills me.

 

[cincychef]

Just wanting to check in. How is everyone doing? I can still do it if I can recruit. I have 2 that wanted to sign but now they are stringing me along. What about everyone else?

 

[Chef Kearns]

I am not ending this year without earning this trip! I am starting to feel a little pessimistic, but I know I will pull it out somehow!

Yesterday I needed 7847 to hit Disney. I already have the required recruits. I submitted $1300 in sales today and have another $1000 to put in tonight (for SAT). So that leaves me with around 5500 still to go. I had hoped that 2 more recruits would qualify this year, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen.

My plan!! I have 4 bookings for December. I am hoping they all hit my average of at least $600. That would give me 2400 points. Then I am going to run 2 or 3 of the 10 host shows. Hopefully those people who agree to do it will really collect the $100 in sales!! If I do 3 that should get me there!! I will be setting those up starting tomorrow. I had hoped to concentrate on booking January! I only have 4 shows on my calender for Jan and I want about 10!

 

[OhmyDLM]

I'm about 6000 points away right now myself!!!!!!!!! Going big in December and hoping to pull it out! Godd luck everyone

 

[Chef Kearns]

Darcy you rock!! You were soooo doubtful just a few weeks ago and look how close you are now!! You have a packed December. Way to go!

 

[crystalscookingnow]

I'm so disappointed but I just don't think it's going to happen for me this year. I'm not giving up hope but if it does happen, it's all by the glory of God.

 

[gaddischef]

You all can do it -- just work your business and it will work for you! Believe, perservere, do your best. As long as you're working hard and do your best, you will do it!!

Crystal,
How many points do you need? I know we were close to the same # of points and I am still working it. I am hoping to start December needing 10,000 points. I have a girl signing today and we are doing her grand opening Sunday. She is supposed to get catalog shows going this week too. I want to sign one other person, but I am not sure if she is still going to do it.
I have 8 cooking shows in December and 5 catalog shows so far, I am working on a $1,000 mystery host today. I know I can do $6,000 this month,but it looks like I am going to need $8,000. I am also praying every day! This will basically be my kids only Christmas gift this year and I have four kids so I am going to get there. Maybe we could keep each other updated?

 

[pkd09]

I am soooo close but really don't think it is going to happen. After 4 years of wanting to earn a trip I finally will have the 52,000 points for Level 2 but NO 4 qualified recruits. I have one qualified this year, one did NOTHING, and just signed 2. Some day it will happen

 

[Becca_in_MD]

Pat - those 2 you just signed will qualify in 2010 so you'll have 2 recruits and 4,000 points early in the year. I'm sure you can make level 2, whatever it is, next year.

I would love to stay updated with someone!

With what I submitted last night & my two recruits that HAVE to qualify (the requirement for the 4), I'll still need 12100 points. I've got parties tonight, Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday. I've also got 4 catalog parties & am waiting for a host to decide if she wants to host in December or not.

I just don't know. If it does, like I said, it will be by God's doing.

 

[pkd09]

Becca: Thank you for putting a bright spin on this. I keep thinking they would have to qualify THIS year but regardless, I'll get the 2000 points when they do. It may not be for Disney but we'll find out Jan. 4 about the next incentive trip.

 

[Jennie4PC]

I just had someone else sign so if she qualiies in Dec then I only have 3500 left.

 

[almondfarm]

When my 2nd recruit qualifies this week for the month, I will be at about $7400 to go. I have 7 live and 4 catalog going, and am still working on booking shows for the rest of the month! Keep on swimming, lets get to Disney!!!

 

[Chef Gilles]

I'm missing the trip also. I have no problems in points accumulation as I've sold for over $55,000.00 already this year but have no recruits. This is only a part time job for me as I have a full time job during the day and have no time to recruit. I just hope that our next trip does not require recruits. I'm so proud of myself for my sales but I guess it's just not enough for Pampered Chef...If only they would consider given me the trip just for myself
Congrats to aall who have made it!!!!!

 

[OhmyDLM]

Darcy you rock!! You were soooo doubtful just a few weeks ago and look how close you are now!! You have a packed December. Way to go!

Awwww, thanks so much! I'm actually 11,000 points away right now, BUT, I have 3 new team members who I'm pretty sure are going to qualify this month, only one I'm slightly concerned about. That would be another 6000 points leaving me with only $5000 more I need to come up with. I have another 8 shows or so this month so I think I can cover that! I'm feeling more and more confident everyday, but I'd rather earn it now and not push it to the very last day/second... I also have a new team member I'm signing this week who has a couple of shows for this month, hoping that would be extra icing on the cake!!! Keep on keeping on right!

Wow for part time that is really good! Even if you don't feel like you the time to recruit you should still work at it. There are plenty advantages to adding people to your team. Talk with your recruiter/director. They should be willing to help lead and guide any team members you add!

 

[Chef Gilles]

Thanks Wadesgirl!!! However, I can't make myself duplicatable like it was suggested. I always give my 100% - Be the best that I can be - I do Pampered Chef parties with a passion and people may think they have to have that very same passion and it scares them away. I can't help myself. I can't pretend that the job is soooo easy and anyone can do it like I do. I don't think my sales would be as high if I didn't do it with passion and bring along almost all the products from the catalog..lol
I'm just having fun with it. I guess with my sales, I could pay my own trip but it would be fun to party with other PC people!

I at least hope you are asking everybody still! You just never know!

I was a little disappointed when they started the recruiting requirement because I didn't recruit anyone in my first year. But the more I got to thinking about it if I had the sales there was no way I would let it slip away because of the recruiting requirement. So I just make sure I ask everybody. I've now earned Level 1 both years they've had the recruiting requirement!
