Looks Like I'm *Just* Going to Make It This Month

December marked a challenging month for many consultants, with several experiencing team issues and cancellations leading to lower sales than expected. Many are focused on achieving a $4,000 sales goal, with some expressing optimism about upcoming shows and potential orders that could help them reach this target. Discussions reflect a mix of anxiety about team performance and excitement for the new system being implemented, which promises to change how consultants are rewarded for their efforts. There’s a shared sense of determination to improve in February, with many planning strategies to recruit new team members and strengthen their existing teams. The grace period until July is seen as a reassuring factor, allowing consultants to adapt without immediate penalties. Overall, there is a sense of camaraderie as they navigate these challenges together, encouraging each other to maintain a positive outlook and focus on personal sales and team development.
Whew- I was all prepared to forfit this month. But one of my consultants sold $2300 in 2 shows, so I'm making up the rest. Very unexpected. I'm currently at $4034.
 
WOO HOO Deb! :party:

I'm over $4000 too now! $3500 showing on the tracker, I just submitted almost $600 and have another almost $600 show to go in later this afternoon and a consultant has just submitted $200 and I'm told 2 more have shows they "plan" to submit. Whew. I prefer the months that we hit our "required" early.

Good luck everybody!:sun:
 
See all's well that ends well. I have 2 calls in to girls that have had shows this month reminding them it is double points by midnight and to wrap those puppies up!
I just came back from my morning show :) 5 people hmph, $400 in sales and 2 bookings and 1 new recruit (should be, we don't count chickens till they hatch around here)

Hey Debi, I love you too! ;) xoxo
 
Since the IPT has not updated, I'm not sure what is going to happen. I have a show on hold (GRRRRRR) and hope to resolve that on Monday. I think we are still short. On the up note, Feb looks great TEAM-wise with almost everyone working so that will be good!I'm going to try to get them to give me their show schedule so I can follow up with them.
 
I wish my team would give me their schedule but they never do.

One of my shows is now on hold and so is one of my consultant's. :cry: LOL Hopefully we can get them resolved in time! My guest is not returning my call! :grumpy:
 
With my guest it's a debit card, so I'm going to call Monday and have them run it again (maybe she got paid on the 30th!) and see...
 
I just returned from my show with $541 in sales. :DYes! I was also told that one of my girls is submitting $650 and I"m not sure about the rest. UGH!!! So that leaves us right now with $3004. I really hope everyone is turning some shows in!! I think I'm going to make some calls right now!

yes, we love you Cheryl!
 
I called and spoke to 3 girls. 2 of them are waiting to submit their shows on MOnday. :( Oh well, maybe I'll have a pleasant surprise!:D

$4137.66 if this all gets turned in. Whew. Skin of my teeth.It's all in my hands. I'm waiting for a consultant to call back, but I'll make it regardless.
 
Good news Deb! I got my sales in too - I just hope that HO accepts the waiver that was submitted....one of my consultants has 'issues' and I think HO is about to revoke her agreement. If so, it will be month one of R for me.
 
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one in this boat right now. I am having such a hard time fitting work back into my schedule after having the baby. Part of me just doesn't want to do it any more. Jan is month 2 for me, and I knew that it would be. Feb is looking so much better though. I have 3 shows (I know I could do more if I wanted to) and I have talked to a few of my team member and know of about 8-10 shows. Plus I had a old lead contact me and say that she is ready to sign up. And she really wants to submit at least 4 catalog shows so she can get the extra bonus products. So we should be ok..... I hope. My ED has been staying in contact with my team to help keep them motivated.
 
We made it, but I could only get one of my 4 parties closed. It was a $1300 party and I had $286 in other sales. My team has $5800 right now and I know more are not up there yet. Last year we had $12,000 as a team but I doubt if we make that this year.

I am worried about the new plan, however. If this were April 1, I would have made $52 less. I know this is not considered "positive" but when I have bills due, it is reality. Don't want to start anything just an observation. I know I need to work on my team more, but in the meantime, I HAVE to book more parties to make up for income that may not be there if someone decides not to follow through.
 
It looks like the IPT was updated (hopefully not all the way) and we didn't make it. :(:(:( I turned in $1801.96 and my team did $1157.58. Which makes us at $2959. Turning to February to have a good solid month!! i'm excited b/c I have my first bridal shower on the 7th, a Relay for Life fundraiser on the 13th and 2 other shows. Hoping to do $4k on my own. :D
 
Well, even though I didn't make it to my personal sales goal this month, my team sales are at $5330 -- as long as they submitted the 2 shows that they said they would last night.And I have 10 active this month (not all turned in sales). Went to a meeting at Hamburger U yesterday which made a huge difference in one of the consultants that I took. She has finally seen the "big picture". Thanks to Amy Neal, too. I needed the coaching on how to do the Leadership Interview. Again, I will be doing what I can and trying like I have in the past, but am leaving the decision making about the results up to God. I am excited to work with my 3 top consultants on teaching them HOW to recruit. I want so very much to be duplicatable!! And I feel so much less pressured knowing that He will bring to me what I need and I can let go of the stress.
 
Janice, that was a great meeting, wasn't it. What I loved about it was they did a great job of spelling out, "ok, here is what you do" and they make it easy enough to be duplicatable.
 
Sounds like it was great!!!Anyone (please, please, please!) want to start a new thread to share the gist of the Leadership Interview?????

Ugh, sorry Colleen!
 
Feb's looking good. I'm already at $1167 personally and collectively as a team we have 17 shows going in (God willing) so I'm sure we'll be fine.I'm just mad at myself for doing the math wrong!!!!!But I'm getting over it! I'm signing a new consultant today and she'll be great. New blood is always good! ;)
 
I'm always fearful of doing the math wrong too and missing it by $1.00! I get OCD about it and check it over and over and over....and then check it again....LOL

YUP! Me too. And this is the first month EVER that I have not tracked it. I don't know why but I didn't.

Lesson learned.

I met someone at conference last year who missed TPC by a similar margin the prior year. She was PISSED and it didn't happen again. :)
 
I bet!!!!!
