Others shared their experiences with various orders, highlighting a mix of smaller items and the challenges of connecting with leads. There's a discussion about the home office's handling of leads and how customer privacy regulations affect consultants' ability to reach out.

Despite these concerns, there was excitement over successful orders and support among users for one another's achievements.

I got an order for 85 mini whippers! $297 in commissionable sales!

Too bad she didn't leave her contact info.
 
That is awesome!! I got one today for two oven mitts, which I'll take because the one before that was a bar board and knife off of the outlet!!! The shipping was more than the item!

Congrats, Deb!
 
WOO HOO!!!!!:party:
 
My last one was for 2 mini-serving spatulas. lol But the "best" one I ever got was for one citrus peeler when it was 75c.

I have gotten really good orders on there too so I can't complain - just shaking my head. :rolleyes:
 
NICE DEB! Woot! :)

That's an awesome order!! Congratulations!
 
yay! Great order! :)
 
Congrats, Deb! Beats my Lead order for 3 Citrus Peelers any day! :o
 
Congrats on the order!!!! :D

I miss my home office leads/orders. :cry:
 
Yes, inquiring minds want to know--you gotta contact her and find out what she's using them for--obviously some kind of promotion, but what?

She didn't leave contact info. Which is funny b/c HO called me because the order was on hold. Anytime someone orders more than 50 qty of one item, it gets flagged. I told the woman I had no idea how to contact the customer--she was a lead through my website and did not leave her contact info. The rep on the phone seemed surprised. You think they would have noticed that before calling me.
 
WAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations!!!
 
I thought the home office got their infor and not us but I guess I was wrong. But congrats home office leads are great.

Well, they do get their information because they have to send the product to the customer but once the customer clicks that they do not want to be contacted by a consultant, then their privacy is not revealed. I am assuming that it has something to do with the DSA regulations that PC follows.
 
Wahoo...I received an HO order for $229.50 yesterday. From some one I do not know..but left contact information!!

Signed a recovering Debbie Downer (we are there yet, however)

Miss Patty Positive:p;)
 
Nice!! Glad you got such an awesome lead!

I had one last week who was "interested in joining". Turns out that she joined 2 days prior and lives in SAT, while her recruiter lives in Vegas. This lead didn't think that her D who she's never spoken with was finding her anyone local. Her recruiter didn't have much guidance to give her. I spent over an hour coaching her and filling her in on the basics! She'll be hospitality now, but I told her to have her D call me. One week, and still no contact. Sigh, lost lead.

And yup, she knows to not use PC.com again for her use, unless she's actually ordering from my website....he he
 
I got an HO lead the other day for someone who was "interested in purchasing" I called her back and it turns out she was invited to a party, couldn't find the invitation, and she needed to know how to order online for her friend's show....nope, I wasn't the consultant. I gave her the number to HO.
 
Ugh. Nice move Linda.

I just wish we would be moved back up on the list for these "fake" leads. lol

Was told it's all automated and can't be done. Grrr.
 
Congrats Ann! :D

Sorry Laurie & Linda. That's a bummer!!! :(

What's funny about that is that I just got an e-mail from an SED a few weeks ago addressing this. She said that if it's a bum lead, that in the Lead Activity part we report that it's a bum lead and they bump us back up to the top of the list.

When I read that, all I thought was, "Ummm... the lead system hasn't had that in a while... and How could she be so out of touch at that level?"

That's funny. Must be nice to not have had any bum leads in so long that she hasn't realized it's gone. =)

Maybe as the team grows you get so busy and inundiated that it's hard to keep track of all the changes? I know I'm behind on my reading and a few policies and my team is just starting. :p:o

I was sent that same info and wondered the same thing but also wonder if the SED's still have that option?

I never thought of that! Maybe they do...

I doubt it. HO seems to have enough trouble keeping every thing up-to-date and timely these days, I can't inagine that they'd have the time or resources to run different programming for different levels....besides that, too many title changes going on = nightmare!
