Congrats Chantelle! Make September happen, you can do it!

Thanks! I plan on it! Just trying to adjust to my husband being on the road and having to get babysitters for my shows:help: as well as plan dinner( I never cooked when I had a show :chef::chef and keep the house clean because it is more embarrassing to have a 16 see the mess than dad! Plus getting back into the swing of things with school too. I will get there.

 

[Jolie_Paradoxe]

Congrats Colleen on those fab numbers!!! WHOO WHOOO!!!!

Way to go Chantelle! Sounds like you have your hands full and are still rocking that biz!

Keeping my fingers crossed your team goes green:money:!

 

[flemings99]

OMG...I'm stressing!

Right there with you. Will hit sales no prob. but still waiting on 2 more to be active. It's driving me nuts!

 

[Sheila]

(((hugs))) 3's company! We are good on team sales & organization sales, just waiting on 2 more personal recruits. I have 3 who claim they'll be active, but not counting them until I see it happen.

 

[jennyl]

Is 4 company too? I have the right # of people active... fingers crossed on making the team sales. Luckily the couple that I know have left to submit are keeping me posted on sales... it's going to be close!

Thinking about all of you right now. I was green as a Director last week, but my downline thought she was short by $63 this month. After looking at her math she was over by $3.07 :roflmao:

This summer has been one of the worse that I remember in 7 years. I am really looking forward to fall. I personally signed 3 this month and I have 1 indirect. All of them seem motivated at this point. I love new blood :happyforyou:

Good luck to all of you!

 

[pamperedlinda]

I'm just ready for today to be over with.

Tomorow is a new month and things are going to be very different in my world! I'm tired of consultants who barely do the minimum. I'm tired of stalking them to find out if they are doing anything. I'm tired of them whining that no-one will have a show (well, duh, have you actually asked anyone!...NO ONE??....really??? not ONE of your 684 fb friends?) I'm tired of the excuse that no-one you know will buy our products because they are too expensive. I'm tired of the lame excuses that I can see right through. I'm just tired of it. If you don't want to be a consultant then fine, let me know so I can move on, don't lead me on. These past 2 months of stressing over this crap has taken the joy out of why I love my job. I'm not going to allow it to continue.

I'm working up an email to them that will go out tomorrow as soon as I confirm that we did not make it (I don't want to sound so negative when there are still a few hours to go, but if we do make it, I will still be pissed that they didn't have the courtesy to let me know what's up).

I'm trying to find a questionairre that I had in my files about what you want to do with your PC biz (how much $$ do you want to make, how often you want to work, how/if you want to grow your biz, did you just want the kit and want me to leave you alone :yuck:...lol, I'm real tempted to put that one in there)...anyone have something like that? Whoever responds, that's where I'll spend my efforts.

My personal September is gonna rock, and I'm so excited!

 

[Chef Kearns]

I'm glad you have a plan, Linda. I hope you are surprised and hit your structure tonight.

 

[finley1991]

Linda I wish I could come over and give you a big hug!

When I demoted to TL after a similar very frustrating time, I did a survey with my team. And I wish I hadn't. If found for me, that those who weren't taking their businesses seriously didn't take the survey seriously. I basically got answers like, "I want to earn $1k a month from my PC biz." Right along with "I only want to do 2 shows a month." When I explained that that wasn't really feasible, they responded with, "Well, YOU asked..." always my fault.

So I pulled back and worked my biz. I didn't have meetings or anything. I figured if I wasn't going to be paid as a D, I wouldn't act like one. I know that's not a great attitude to have but that's what I did. I dove head first into my biz and for the first time in my PC career, my personal sales doubled. I was on a great streak and if they wanted to come with me, they were welcome to.

I finally repromoted and haven't demoted since. What I found was that those I needed to rely on, I couldn't. Even when they told me they submitted, they hadn't. (I'm not quite sure how they thought I wouldn't find out...).

All I could do was grow my team. I have 27 now, about 8-12 active each month and with my sales we hover anywhere between $6k-$10/mo in team sales. What it took was growing the team and that's my focus now.

Tomorrow is a new day and if you haven't listened to the Lydia Martin info, DO IT ASAP. I've been using her words and I just did my first intro show last Friday and I have 3 more scheduled for September. Her numbers prove that what she's doing works. And we don't have to be doing 85 personal shows in a month to make it work.

Let me know if you want to talk on the phone... I'd be happy to!!! HUGS!!! :candyheart:

 

[BethCooks4U]

I hope your team pulls through Linda and I'm glad you have a plan. I do get your frustration. I haven't lost my title but have been paid as TL too many times and I too am tired of all their whining and saying they can't find business. They just want it to drop in their laps. Urggg.We aren't green yet for August but one of them just let me know that last nights party was $850 and it's going in at 9pm (it will because she WANTS those bags) and another (fourth personal recruit) is submitting tonight soon so we'll be fine this month. Whew!

Where can I find Lydia's training?

I figure if I ask what they want/expect/dream of, then at least I've done my due-dilligence. I can tell if they are lying to me and I'll act accordingly. I feel I owe it to them and to me to put it out there. But, I'm tired of the B.S. I'm tired of sugar-coating. I'm over it, come with me, or watch me as I surge ahead....I have plans to cruise and I need to get back on track!

 

[finley1991]

Just e-mailed the info to you!

Subject: Recording - Executive Round Table Call - August 19, 2011


Thank you to Lydia Martin for leading our Round Table Call Friday. AWESOME. For those able to join live, I'm sure you would agree that Lydia has such a gift of communicating and "selling" this concept that has allowed her to focus on growth and not just a title! You are welcome to forward this link to your downline leaders to listen to if you feel it would be helpful.

I will announce the date, topic and speaker for our next Round Table Call after Executive Seminar. Is there someone YOU would like to hear from? Let me know.

Thanks for postig this Colleen! I was working on posting it...well actually TRYING to post it. I still don't know how to do this yet :help:. Anyway, have you or has anyone made the BBQ Chicken sliders for an Intro Show? I'm looking to simplify my business and this sounds like a great place to start! I definately want everything to be duplicatable. I have listened to the recording twice already and LOVE her attitude. I want to duplicate it

 

[finley1991]

I haven't made the sliders. Last Friday we did the Apple Berry Salsa at her intro show and she made the Tiramisu Bites (or whatever they are called) prior to the show and just talked about what she did.I think for my intro shows, I'm going to stick with the fajitas. I can make them blindfolded and it shows the baker. Then I'm also going to do the Lava Cake in the RCP. Both recipes can be done in 20 minutes, they're cheap and show 2 higher priced items that aren't in the kit. The new consultant can get the RCP free and the DCB 1/2 price with her 1st show. And both recipes can be made by the guests easily at home. When I do these recipes, I always hear from 1-2 guests after each show telling me that they made one or the other or both and how easy they were and that they tasted just as good as they did at the show. THAT'S the feedback I want to hear from guests!

 

[chefruthie]

hmmmmm...I love to do the fajitas and lava cake also. I really like the email she sends to the new consultant with the shopping list and all the items highlighted. If I get a chance today, I will make a new one with the fajitas as the main recipe. Lydia also does the lava cake but she doesn't say what she prepares it in, the DCB or the RCP.
I was also contemplating doing the garlic bites and something in the DCB. The garlic bites do an awesome job showing off the 8" saute pan. I really want to find what will work best fo me and stay with that!! Decisions, decisions...

Lydia's conference workshop (among others) are up in the OTC!Here is Lydia's workshop that I was in... FABULOUS!!!!https://www.pamperedchefonlinetrainingcenter.com/Content/Resources/Fall2011/PromoPointers_B.mp3

 

[Nanisu]

So Linda, did you make it? I was suprised when I did my taxes to find out last year that I had more sales, but made less, and my dh pointed out I was only paid as a director for 6 months out of 12...eye opening for me. How did you do???? Inquiring minds want to know.

We did not make it.
I am officially a TL. Hoping my team will pull it together for September.
