Congrats Melinda on your re-promote! :D
 
I had a terrible September, my worst month this year. $1,300. Ugg, just to give you an idea of how my month went my last show was $40 when I left. I knew it wouldn't be my best month because it is the first full month of having my husband travel, I had a very hard time adjusting to trying to get everything done by myself. Very happy to leave September behind and move forward for a great rest of the year, I have 14 October shows and at least 2 catalog shows. I am already booking November which is an awesome feeling:)

I checked the fine print for one of my team. At least for Sept. sales they have til 10pm CT on Oct. 3 to resolve shows on hold. None of this "10pm CT on Oct. 1" stuff. It's good having the first of the month fall on a Saturday!!!

I noticed that too! It is really nice that they are giving an extra two days because of the weekend. Makes a lot more sense.
 
WAHOOOOOO!!!!
The tracker is updated and my team made it! I get my Director title back. I'm so happy I could just cry!!!!!

Thats GREAT!!! :woohoo:
 
YAY LINDA!!!!!I doubt they are changing the deadline going forward for resolving shows... my guess is because the end of the month is falling on a weekend and HO isn't staffed to help with them. I bet with November they have until the 1st to get it taken care of. But we shall see..!

I agree. This is how they worded it in the notification email:

ORDER RESOLUTION DEADLINE:
You must resolve your order/s by 10:00 p.m. (CT) on 10/03/2011 to count toward commissionable sales for the month. This one-day resolution period is provided at the end of every month to give you time to resolve payment issues.

while it says Oct 3 it also says "one day resolution period" - I'm thinking one business day...
 
:clap::woohoo:Congrats to Malinda and Linda! :woohoo::clap:
 
Congratulations to Malinda and Linda and anyone else!!
 
Congratulations to Malinda and Linda!!!

That's awesome and one of the best changes PC has made recently is us not losing our team if we lose our status. Whew, that takes a load OFF!! I had that happen once and it sucked so bad I just wanted to quit!

My team made it by $73!!! Too close for comfort, but it counts so that's cool!

I couldn't imagine loosing my team, and i don't think my team would want to loose me either.

I agree, i think i would be done if I lost them. It's one of the things that keeps me motivated - motivating them and seeing their successes.
 
Congrats everyone! My team had an awesome month and one of my Directors re-promoted so I'm super excited for her! The fall is looking GOOD!
 
Oh, and the month after I lost them the new change went into effect! I remember that and it still hurts. It was the year we were earning Disney. That was the only thing that jept me going. I wanted to earn it for my family. My team had everything we needed. I had 7 active consultants and over $5000 in sales that month, but because 5 of your people had to be qualified to count and I only had 4 I lost my title and my team. SUCKED!
 
CONGRATS Linda and Melinda!!! That is FANTASTIC!!!!!!
