:bawl::bawl::bawl: Me too. I am so tired of trying to keep people motivated when they are perfectly content with a show every couple months. In July, even with 4 of my team going to conference with me, I had one (OUT OF 12!!!) who submitted shows.
In August, I had 4 who submitted. September is looking much better, but only because I signed a new consultant Aug. 30th, and then another Sept. 2nd, and have another who is signing this coming Tuesday, and all of them have shows booked in September. The way my stats seem to be going - I need 30 consultants on my team to be able to count on 6 submitting every month.
 
(((hugs))) Becky! I hope they pull it off for you this month.
 
Lin...I live you no matter what title you hold.

Er..love, not live.

It I have had 24-30 on my team for the last year or longer and it takes having all of them to go green each month. We usually are not green before the 25th either, but it does seem like a lot of consultants just to have 6 go active..:approve:
 
{{{{HUGS}}}}
I may be there myself soon...2 months as TL. Under me is one 1st gen AD, 2nd gen AD and 3rd gen D...but I could not get my team to do poo last month. 3 out of 13 and I am stinking with recruiting. Colleen thank you so much for this link. I am listening to it right now and I think it will help me somehow and someway.

:candyheart:You all ROCK!!:candyheart:
 
Hopefully September will be good to everyone! We have the new Catalog, the kids back in school and the holiday season approaching.
(((fingers crossed))) for all of you needing to re-promote! :D

Debbie Downer reporting!!! We just had opening day of school and it was not pretty!! I knew they would put a diamond offering this month because I do not book heavy this month. Will be checking with my team to make sure they can come through!:(
 
New season, new month. LET'S GO!!!!Bless and release those who don't want to work and find people that do.Let's support each other in this! I like Colleen's approach--instead of spending our time on people who don't even have the decency to reply to our emails or return our phone calls, spend that time finding NEW people!GO GO GO GO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
