I am down to needing 897 to earn level 2 my family is getting excited well actually my hubby is we are going to surprise the kids at christmas that i have earned it.

 

[jbondr]

That will make a great surprise for Christmas.

I am working on level 2 and still need 2801 to get there. I had one catalog show cancel last night so I am kind of bummed right now. I am just going to have to work my cooking shows that much harder.

Thats what I want to do. I was going to get them something Disney to wrap and put under the tree. You are so close you can do it!!!

 

[cincychef]

So right now I need 10,000 points for level 3. I had a show Monday that will close over $500, Tuesdays show will be $400-$500, Wednesday was $300 so far. Tonights show will be $1000 if one customer orders the knife block set at full price. I have 6 more cooking shows scheduled before the 12th. One show to go at a school. And 6 catalog shows left to close. I offered the catalog shows an incentive to reach $300. I am pushing my online sales to everyone I can think of and trying to get a $1000 mystery host show started.I need one more recruit to qualify. I have two who never did but neither are very motivated to get there.
I had two who told me they wanted to sign, but now I can't reach them.
I THINK tonight I met a girl who might sign now and she is motivated to qualify!!!
Wish me luck and thanks for letting me talk, everyone around here is sick of listening.Good luck to everyone else!!!

This is my 1st year with PC. I will not qualify for Disney. Even if I could, we couldn't go that time of year. I am hoping to qualify for the next trip in 2011.
I know another consultant (my director) who is 2 recruits away from qualifying. She is good with the points. What she is trying to do is pay for the mini-kit out of her pocket and helping them with there 1st show to qualify. Then they would get the kit and the commission from the show. It's a no brainer. What do you have to lose! Of course, they have to be willing to work to get January bookings.
I feel so bad because I wanted to sign under her, but because my sister-in-law is a consultant, she thought the right thing was to give it to my SIL. I wish I could get recruits to give her. I know some may think that is not smart, but If I knew it would send her to Disney with her family, I would be thrilled. Besides with all the guidance, help, encouragement and cheering she gives me, she deserves it. I couldn't gave gotten this far without her. Sorry for getting off topic.
I truley wish you all the best in getting to Disney.

YEAH!!!!I just had a fundraiser turned in at $1411 with 3 more orders yet to come in. That means look out Disney, here we come!

Whew! I was really concerned after I had a catalog show cancel last week and tonights show convert to a catalog show due to snow/ice. Anything remaining this month will just be gravy.

[shannonjennings]

I am 831 points away with one catalog show left!!!!! I had 2 shows to cancel on me this week and that stunk out loud!!! I decided to send out an email and offer and tremendous sale for PC! I sent out an email and put the entire catalog at 25% off (I am basically just foregoing my commission in order to get the sales!!!) I am banking on at least a $500 show from that and a $300 catalog show so that I can get the points to get to Disney!!! Wish me luck!!! I can taste Disney and I want it SOOOO bad for my family!!!!! I have not come this far to not get it!!!!!

I'm earning level 3! So excited for the kids! See you there!

 

[ttchic]

Greatfully made Disney today. September was my one year anniversary and Never imagined I would earn the trip my first year!!! Thank you Lord!!

 

[flemings99]

Have a consultant who is short $78 in sales to qualify and be my last one needed for level 3. Crossing my fingers. Had an order I was going to give her from one of my clients and she won't call me back Frustrated--but hopeful that she'll pull through for me in the end. If not, we'll still be going. Kids are so excited!!

 

[doughmama]

Have the sales but not the last qualified consultant. Oh well. Anyway, couldn't go as my kids are still in school (NY does not end until late June) but no stress. Have someone who is signing on today but won't qualify until after the new year. Maybe I'll earn next year's trip.

I would make a $78 dollar order myself, you get an extra $600 in travel!!!

 

[shannonjennings]

Just qualified for Disney last night!!! WAHOO!!! We are taking the Debit though and going in late April for 7 days!!! My husband is a Southern Baptist pastor and the Southern Baptist Convention is in Orlando the EXACT same days as Pampered Chef and our church will send us to Orlando all expenses paid as well. SOOOOO, we own a timeshare in Orlando, so we are going to take the debit card, and use that for the cost for the tickets for our family of 5 and use our timeshare for our lodging and PC still takes our family to Disney!!!!! YEAH!!!!!

 

[janezapchef]

I am 1715 points away from earning Disney. I have several catalog shows out there and a couple potential shows for b/w Christmas and New Year's. The big kicker is I have a new consultant who needs just $746 more to qualify, and he has his start up show on Thursday!

For those who gave up, I officially gave up on the 9th. Then, everything under the sun started pouring in! At the beginning of the month, I needed 3 consultants to qualify (for the 6k points that would give me and 2 for the recruits requirement) and still $5k+ in sales. Since it is December, I figured it was not possible. HOWEVER, I sent out some last ditch pleas for help and have been ASTOUNDED by the responses! Once all my shows go in that closed today, I will be at about $5300 in sales. Not in my wildest dreams did I think this was possible!

I just saw this thread tonight and wanted to chime in for those about to or who have already given up! The new consultant who needs to qualify still just signed on the
12th. It is totally not too late yet! B-E-L-I-E-V-E!!!!

Thanks for the advise. I think we've got it worked out. One has qualified, but not showing up in my points yet. It's been 3 days...how long should I wait before I call HO see what's up. Seems like last time it took a while for it to post to my points.

As far as the consultant who was short by a little--think we've got that worked out and should be official as qualified in next day or two.

Yea---our first trip with PC & level 3!! We are all so excited.

 

[Krista Burson]

I'm bummed.... I wanted Disney, but was looking to at least get Level 1. I had the recruit, but not the sales. Oh well, maybe next year.

I'm right there with you Krista - I was shooting for Level 1 - got my first recruit back in March so figured I'd easily get the sales - need another $2300 in sales to make it - oh well! There's always next year - I'm happy to say my recruit earned Level 1 - so I guess that's something!

 

[suzipooh]

I got level one...YAY! I'm happy, but was really shooting for level 2. I got the 4 recruits and I'm "only" 9,000 points away from level 2....sigh.... at least I had really good pay checks this year

 

[Veevahchef]

I didn't realise that consultants had to qualify with the $$ value of qualifying, not just the 4 shows, so I have 2 recruits who are qualified, but only with 4 shows, not the sales.
My kids are going to dis-own me....

But even if they did qualify to get me the points, I would still need over $6000 in sales to get there... I only have 9 days... what to do???

How far are they from qualifying?? Any chance you could help them set up some sales?? Explain to them how close you are.
Also, they have to have $1250 in CAREER sales. If they have gone inactive more than 6 months, what they had from before doesn't count because it no longer goes towards their CAREER sales.
I feel your pain! I needed my consultants to do quite a bit at the beginning of the month and started the month giving up on Disney. But, they pulled through! As did a LOT of people for my own sales. It can be done, but it won't be easy!

 

[Chef Kearns]

I'm not counting myself out of it! I still need $1706 to get the trip. I was counting on the points from one of my new consultant's qualifying, but she's not going to hit it. I have to make up the sales myself now. I am having an After-Christmas sale. The whole catalog is on sale for 20% off and cookware sets and the knife block set for 40% off! All I need is 17 people who need $100 in Pampered Chef!!

That makes me feel better, after my show last night I still need $39 in sales, BUT I have a consultant who needs $750 to qualify and I need her to qualify. We did a show together so I can give her the sales to help her, but it is not quite there yet. I have two catalog shows to go and I need them to be close to $750:yuck:

 

[almondfarm]

I am just signing a new consultant who needs to qualify by Dec. 31st and I need $1100 in Sales myself to make it, but I have a show open that I have done, and also am doing another show next week, plus my new consultant has 3 catalog shows going already and is working on more today.

Don't admit defeat until midnight on Dec. 31st!! All is still possible!

 

[gaddischef]

I agree -- don't give up until the very very end -- get on the phone, ask relatives and friends you see over the holidays. Tell people your goal. This is all a good lesson -- recruit early and have strong show schedules from Jan. 1st! I earned my first two trips by the skin of my teeth on Dec. 31st and I said Never Again! So, I try to recruit early so I'm not relying on people to "qualify" at the end of the year. See you all at Disney!!

 

[almondfarm]

GO GO GO! 3 more Disney earning Days!!! (including today!) Still working to see you all there!

 

[crystalscookingnow]

I'm officially out. I still need two recruits to qualify PLUS 8000. I'm okay with it though. I've got 4 recruits that are almost qualified. They won't be there until the new year though. That just means that I'm 4 recruits closer to next years' trip!
