congrats to everyone who is racking up the points....i will not be joining you in 10k plus land. had several cancels for jan that have not reschedule for early feb (darn them :-)

however, just booked enough shows in late-feb and early-march for all the hwc incentive items...so i will have lots of fun doing dishes and putting small things in those very cute bowls
 
Wow, I'm really impressed reading about everyone's successes! I'm pretty proud of my own. January was my first month, and I didn't have my first show until Jan 19. Right now, I'm at 4304 points, with sales of $2040. Plus, I'll be closing another show tonight, which was $700 in sales.February will hopefully be as good - I have 6 cooking shows and 2 catalogs booked, and 3 of the shows are before Feb 14, so I think that means I get double points for them.Yay me! And yay for everyone else!

Woo hoo....just closed another show so I'm at 9936! I was hoping to have 10k points for the month, but I'm good with this!
 
WOW! You guys are awesome:sing:

I only closed with around $1000. I have 3 cattys that are carrying over. Hope to get them closed by Feb 14. I have a fundraiser that won't close until the end of Feb. & 2 recruits signing in FEB!!

AWESOME FIRST MONTH!! YOU ARE OFF TO A GREAT START:thumbup:
 
mine was really slow but that is only my fault because of not doing 3-2-1 consistently..... but i had one show that was $500... but this was my first time ever doing a show because i kinda got into Pampered chef Backwards by becoming a consultant first before ever going to or hosting a show before.... so i had to learn alot!
 
I'm at 5,198 points! I had one show that didn't close by today. She was only at $170. Since it wasn't enough to get me to $3,000 to get the extra 1,500 points, I'm having her try to get more sales. Her goal was $500! I hate that! My other shows were great - one over $1000, one over $900 and the other over $600!!!
 
Holy criminy people!! These are some awesome numbers so far!:thumbup: :thumbup:

Whew, I am off to a good start this year. I have 9745 points, including the 1500 bonus!! My sales this month ended up being $4330 which is my best January EVER. What REALLY helped was a $2400 show!!! Holy crapola. And I had 5 bookings from that show...another record.:D :D :D
 
Jan so-soI didn't do as well as I would have liked but I guess I took off too much time over the holidays :(

That and had 3 cancellations (2 rolled into small catalog show but both hosts rebooked for the spring!) - the 3rd moved to Feb.

I was really hoping for big point earning! Last year I earned 12,000 in Feb - really helped me earn that fabulous cruise this April.
 
WAHOO EVERYONE! I'm just home from a $980 show so my current pts are 8860! (I keep a spreadsheet too!) :)
 
Wow! You guys are amazing! I just squeaked in the $3k with tonights show, that thankfully the host worked me and closed tonight! If I did my points correctly (I'm really tired) I'm just under 7300. Not bad considering I had 3 shows cancel;) But, I do have 5 more during the remainder of the double points period, so I'm hopeful for a good Feb:blushing:
 
WOW!! Everyone is already doing so well!! My points are only at 2668, but I have a fundraiser closing Feb 5th (YAY!!) and a catalog show that's still going and will close that Feb 4th. I also have a cooking show on Monday & she's a potential recruit, so I've got my fingers crossed for LOTS more points by the end of Feb!!
 
Wow, everyone is doing great. This double and extra point thing is fun!
I have 7,770 points.
 
loving it - home from my show - 500 in sales and another possible recruit!!!

Good for you Heather! I'm afraid I might be loosing my FD status next month :( I've got about a dozen fence-sitters right now that I wish I could get to commit.....oh well, when the time is right it will all fall into place. I'm concentrating on my own sales and bookings and in the meantime asking everyone, but I'm no longer stressing over it (I want it bad, but I figure it will happen one day)
That is soo my philosophy, if and when it happens and is meant to be it will happen eventually!:blushing: Good luck for the rest of DBL pts month and this year lets keep on adding to our teams!:D
 
Wow...I thought I was doing great...but some of you are doing AWESOME!! I am excited that my business is finally picking up but as of today I have 2350 points....I only started last October, so I am proud...and I have 4 cooking shows already booked for February (although only 1 more for double points).
 
Well, I missed the $3000 sales mark by approx. $278, which could have been my $315 show from last Friday I am still waiting to close out (but it is midnight eastern time now, and of course, no word from the host). I also had a catty host postpone closing until next week on me. So, I ended up with approx. 4600 points. However, I have 6 February catty shows booked for February, of which 5 I hope to have closed by the 13th, and I have a definite 3 cooking shows during February double points period, so I am hopeful!
 
I am doing my numbers in my head but I think I'm at about 7900! I'm so happy... I came home and got tonight's show submitted by midnight. She was the kind of host that if I let her carry it over, I'd still be waiting for that last elusive order. She didn't listen to anytning I coached her on, was not ready for me when I arrived and had all kinds of food restrictions of choosing a menu. It was the hardest, weirdest show so far... I'm glad it's done. She told me that I had to call the people who she had outside orders from because she couldn't do that... and then she wouldn't give me time before the 4 guests who showed arrived and ... yikes... it's was nuts! I told her to collect more ordres and we would do a catalog show for her if she could get up with those who said they were coming but didn't. She's one of those hosts that makes you appreciate ALL you OTHER hosts! And yet you love her cuz she's so sweet all at the same time. I can't explain it! Sorry for the vent
 
I have a question about the points. I only had one show that held in Jan although I still have two cat shows out. When I checked my points, it shows a 2000 point new recruit bonus on there. I finally qualified in Jan but I haven't recruited anyone since November and she hasn't qualified yet. Did I get the points for qualifying or what? I saw it and got excited because I thought she'd qualified or one of my leads had signed up without me knowing. lol
 
I made it to 3000 in sales so I get the 1500 points, and I signed a recruit Jan. 2 and she qualified, so I get 2000, so I come up with I think about 9000 points? Is that close?

I have 10 shows on the books in February, at least 4 before the 15th, so I should add some extra double points.
 
$5371.67 sales

5 shows (Show high of $2,220.87! Yes, I asked her to join us..."nope, just a good customer, thanks!" Uhhh, no, thank YOU! Can you imagine a FREE shopping spree of $590? PC is incredible! Thanks PC!)

Starting 2008 with an awesome show average! $1,074.33 ! ! !

With double points, bonus for $3k, starting the new incentive period with
11,564 points! Wahoo!

That's great!!! Congratulations Ginny!!!

I am at around 2400 points because of two shows I submitted before midnight. I am hoping I can get a fundraiser together and closed before the double points is over. I am going over to CC to see when that date is again. I forgot.

Ok scrolled up and found it. Guess what I am buying with my commission!! A german shepherd puppy. I am picking her up tomorrow if all goes well. I was going to buy one from a lady on craigslist and when we got there, she already sold it. Well anyway, I will take pics of her as soon as she is home!!

Debbie :D

Thanks Debbie!

I forgot put in my post...

Congrats to everyone! Whether you've got zero points...or tons...you still have 11 more months to get LOTS of points! Go for it!
 
have 7,689 points for January. That includes the 1500 for a $3000 month and the double sales points. I am doing a superbowl show and hope to have that closed before the double points end. Other than that I don't have anymore before double points end but I have 6 towards the end of Feb. I am excited to get the HWC items. I love them this year!!!
 
Great Job everybody!!:D I love incentives!!:love: I'm at 7117 and have 3 more shows with potential double points, and 2 signing in February!! I need 2 more and I'm Director!!:eek:
 
My January pretty much stunk with cancellations; which is odd since I usually don't have many. I ended up with just about 1K in sales (just realized I forgot to submit my last catty show last night-was too tired from doing PTO carnival stuff), & all was double at least. I've got a few more during double points time in Feb. My Feb & March are already looking much better--gotta get on the phone more next week though!

Congrats to all those high numbers~you guys rock!

Linda: I'm in the same boat as you with losing FD:( Both my 2 are going inactive & I can't get them to call me back:( Got lots of fence-sitters though..

Sorry you joined me on this boat Lacy. :(

I signed 4 last year:
1 still active, qualified :chef:
1 active, not qualified, nothing since Dec, can't get in touch with her
1 inactive, qualified, working on her master's degree, might come back one day
1 inactive, qualified, told me she was going to have a show and reactivate in Feb, cannot get in touch with her

Don't you just hate that your consultants won't call you back? It annoys me when hosts don't, but I can shrug that off easier than someone that joined the biz with me. And I just don't get buying the kit, and then doing nothing with it???

LOL - I have one girl on my team, who does a show every 6 months......and I NEVER hear from her. I send her emails, and an occasional phone message - but she never responds.
Yesterday, I had my director send out an email to whole cluster, in search of more F/W catalogs (don't want to have them shipped - so no emails or pm's please!) and she emailed me back that she has a lot of extra catalogs, and she'll meet me this weekend to bring them to me.:rolleyes: I hadn't heard from her in 10 months!

Yep. It's rude, it's just plain ole rude!

I've left a couple of messages (phone & email) for two of them that I wanted to buy their paperwork supplies from them if they didn't need them. Both said that would be fine.....ummmm when? where? how much? I need catalogs now ladies......geeze, have some consideration!:yuck:
