I encourage goal setting and follow thru with personal promises. Every year we all start with a clean slate. What we make of it is our own choice.Oh, and we had a great night! There were 6 Directors (or above) with about 40 people in attendance. It was fun, we did a little entertaining (had an 'airplane' set up and did a little skit). We let them focus on TOT since none but the D's had earned trips before. Follow up is key. Looking forward to helping them move forward!

I used the outline from HO and while my team isn't achievers and zone out once they hear the total points needed they did leave excited and rejuvinated. The guest was ready to sign before the meeting (WANTS THAT DCB BUNDLE!) and is more excited than ever after - she's waiting for her show on the 14th. Yes, I am trying to get her to make it her first show but she's still saying she wants to buy down. She's attending a party with me tomorrow so I am hoping she'll change her mind then!
I think it was the best B2B meeting they've scripted. I loved that they spoke to those that have been in a while and haven't been working anywhere near trip level. I loved the fact that they did it in clips. SOOOO easy!

People have balance between talking themselves out of not being able to achieve a trip and being realistic as to what is going on in our lives. Even some of us on this loop have been effected by serious illness in our families (or personal illness) where running our business "as usual" and consistent may not be possible.
On the flip side, if you want to earn a trip and there has not been a major upheaval in our life, then it does take a lot of hard work, but it IS doable.
Half of my 2011 was in an upheavel but I am determined to work harder on the areas that are weak...hoping more on my team will be achieving trips!

We had a gal on my teamm do a quick demo and skipped the first few segments of the dvd. WOW she is always amazing! Here's a few tips from her:
*Squeeze your citrus first with your hand, then press. Always wows the guest how much more you can get out.
*Use a "garbage bowl". Line the lrg. bamboo fiber bowl with a product bag from the store. Easy clean up, esp. when the host trash can is over flowing.
*Create a portable dishwasher: put a rectangle trashcan in your burg. shopping bag. Place dirty dishes in it as you use them, then take home, rinse and place in your dw.
*Cell phone game: have guest turn to back of catalog. 1st person to call you on your cell gets a prize. Have them store your number in their phone as Pampered Chef xxxx.
Too many more to list. But I think everyone left inspired.
I think we have to keep in mind that the trips are not on everyone's list and while I believe that anyone can earn them, they are out of reach for those on our team who do 1-3 shows/month and don't want any more than that. For that reason, we tried to focus our mtg. on training them to have better shows/tips and not just all about the trips.

Oh, yes. I have stressed that but she says she still wants to observe one more (the show I met her at was her first ever). She's riding with me tomorrow to my show so again I will tell her how it benefits her to be the consultant on her show and I will remind her that she's observing on tomorrow's show and it's not like I won't be there at her show.

I found that there was a lot packed into the meeting but it was all good. During part of the meeting the said, "So Dublin is for you, right?" After I said no, it could very well be achieved by one of you too if you work your business hard and promote. I like the 4 part DVD so we could discuss each step.
