Yes, that's the micro scraper for getting into salad dressing bottles.

I'm wondering how long that will last? I am not at the point where I have to get every last drop out of my $3 salad dressing but you never know.....

 

[pamperedposey]

Thanks, Cindy. #29 was a new pic, and the item is STRANGE! Must be the really skinner scraper. Can't wait to see it in person. Congrats on promoting, too.

Thanks! It was so much fun to walk the stage. I had bronchitis and an ear infection when I left home, so I was on a few medicines the whole time I was there. I think I would have had an even better time if I hadn't been sick!

I think people are stressing too much about this new recruiting addition tied to incentive trips. If you are having consistent shows, putting opportunity brochures in host packets, mentioning at host coaching calls, letting your hosts see how much fun you have in your job and JUST ASK, you will have others that want to know more about the opportunity. Nobody, wants to be your new "recruit", but many will want to hear about the opportunity. It's all at how you look at it. You will have 12 months to come across ONE that feels the business is right for him/her. See this as a challenge not a problem. I'm hearing a lot of excuses. You WILL do what you tell yourself you CAN Do.

Okay, the Green is GREEN! Not too sure about it... I guess I'll reserve judgment until I see it in person, but the bar board--I don't think so... Thanks for posting all those pics. You *sharers* are so cool to those of us who couldn't be there!

 

[pamperedposey]

last of the pics...if I left out something that you still want to see, let me know. I probably have a picture of it.

I'm so sorry you had that experience.

See I am in a fortunate postition b/c I have a GREAT director that has made it clear that she would do the training if I recruited and would also train me to train untill I felt comfortable doing it on my own. Does that make sense? I know not everyone has a good director though.

Thanks, you two - every now and then I am going to go off on a director vent, though, as I was not as lucky as you. She's a great person, but not a great manager. She sent an email to her cluster reminding them to redeem their Pan-O-Rama points, a day after the promotion ended. I have 2 recruits, and she confuses the heck out of them with her emails. If I could sign 3 more at one pop and be rid of her, I guess I'd be OK.

Can you go to your upline for help?

Okay, 46 & 48 are the collapsible bowl, correct? BTW, does it have any Chillzanne features? Just curious...

What is in #47? The large round tray with the green accent.

Thanks so much! I hope all of you are feeling better. It sucks to be ill when traveling. Get some much-needed rest and feel better soon.

 

[JAE]

Trying not to complain, but I really dislike green and that green stuff is just bad. IMO Great giveaways? Maybe it will look better in real life.

ITA with you. SETTING GOALS is also HUGE. I earned my cruise in OCTOBER cuz I had a goal and stuck to it!

I took a GREAT goal setting course at Leadership and it is TRANSFORMATIONAL!!!! Give me a couple days and I'll post notes.

Yeah, the green is SUPER GREEN! I got the microfiber towel and dishcloth set as a gift for something I did at leadership and it is SOOOO Green. Even more bold than our previous Sea Green color. Think NEON.

pamperedposey, thanks so much for the photos!

I want to recruit, but I'm with many of the others, I don't think it should be linked to the trips. I have been trying to recruit since Conf. last July and have only signed one. That would totally stink to not get a trip due to recruiting.

I have personally gotten the impression they really are in need of recruits the way they are pushing it so much. PC is supposed to be for everyone at any level you want to work the business.

I personally did not want to recruit until the past year myself. I felt like I was still learning the business and wouldn't be a good trainer. I also didn't get training from my director. That is how if found CS. I was looking for help. I didn't hold it against my director (she has since quit). She was very busy w/4 children of her own. I have 3 and I know how busy I get.

I do have one recruit who qualified, but I do feel like I'm not supporting her like I should (which it's really my directors job). I'm so busy. I really wanted to go to Leadership to get some training on being a leader/trainer, but I couldn't go until I have 2 recruits. I personally think they should change that requirement. I think if you have 1 year or less of time with the co. it should be 2 recurits, but if you have more then 1 year and at least 1 recruit you shoudl be able to go. I really want to promote to director this year, but I don't feel like I've had any training to get me ready.

Just my opinion.

It's the collapsible bowl

So, there were three shots of the collapsible bowl from different angles, or does it go completely flat, too, in addition to becoming a chip and dip server? Cool design. I actually don't mind the green in it, too much. It's more balanced out. But, yeah, neon was my thought, too.

Now on the other side: I LOVE it! My kitchen is a light sunshine yellow and green (with neutrals to keep it from being over the top). I so can't wait so see this new color!

 

[kspry]

Can you go to your upline for help?

I tried, and upline stressed that my director was enjoying running her business her own way, so I let it drop. They are old friends.

Debbie (or others in the know), are there new dishtowels in addition to the microfiber set? When the original new product list posted, I was confused. I thought maybe they were keeping the cranberry striped linens since the table linens are reversed this season.

Yes, keeping the cranberry kitchen towels. They also brought back last springs dots towels in a set with the microfiber dishclothes and twix its in the purple and green color story. It's a special set available while supplies last.

 

[pampchefrhondab]

Anyone have a copy of the new mini catalog they could scan and post??

 

[JAE]

So the cranberry microfiber towels will still be available? I need to purchase more if they are going away. Love them.

So the dish cloths are like the freebie ones that they had before? Are they sold by themselves or with a towel? I had a TON of people wanting more of just the dish cloths!

Keeping Cranberry Microfiber too.

I am only a hobby consultant, so I can't really complain much about the incentives because I don't do enough to reach them anyway...as far as trips. But, I have been in this business for almost 7 years and I talk about the opportunity at all my shows and to people I meet daily. In the past 6 years I have recruited 2 people...1 is a hobby consultant and the other qualified and then quit. So, recruiting is not easy for everyone. I live in a very rural area...15 minutes to over an hour to get to the closest towns surrounding my small town.

My biggest concern with requiring recruits to earn incentives is that it gives an...NOW PLEASE DO NOT BASH ME..."Amway" feel to our wonderful company. We work for a great company. But I do not like the recruit, recruit, recruit mentality. We do not want to be considered a pyramid scheme...the ones at the top who have lots of recruits get everything.

I don't see this as a fair incentive. Yes, we could probably all get one recruit, but if I sell 55000.00 in products and you sell 23000.00 but get 1 recruit, it seems they are saying you are more important to this company than I am. I see a lot of cheating coming.

But then again, how can you complain about something you are getting for free. You don't have a trip now, so if you don't earn it you really haven't lost anything. But, if you do everything that is required to get the trip and you make your goal, LOOK WHAT YOU ACCOMPLISHED!! You had a lot of shows, made some CASH, earned some great free products along the way, and earned a FABULOUS all expense paid trip for 2.

So, I guess it is all in the way you look at it. Keep up the good work everyone. I have learned a lot from you all. I appreciate all you share on here. You have helped my business greatly.

We talked about this at my table at lunch. It won't be pretty.

Thanks for the pics. Do you have any of the other two scrapers and the pans?

 

[kspry]

You said it, sister. We'll see posts here not only about putting shows in under fake names, but putting in recruits under fake names.

My director already puts her shows into her recruits' accounts so she can get stuff 'when they qualify'.

How do you have a fake recruit? Don't you need a SS# for that? Or do you mean like someone you know doing it for you? I think I'd rather have the points for myself and not on a "fake" recruit. That's just not right!

 

[kspry]

That's just not right!

I agree, that's just not right.

any pictures of the new dots mugs and salad plates?
