Navigating Leadership When You're a Consultant - My Story

[pamperedlinda]

Yeah- all the coolest people are in Wave 3 this year.

Does this mean you are in Wave 3 with me ? Or did I miss the joke ? (I tend to do that from time to time)

 

[janetupnorth]

You should have seen the one I deleted!

The picture or the statement?

I missed it in the long transition from work to home!

Left work early to make it to the grocery store to get milk, didn't even get down the road and came across a VERY recent accident...had to stop and care for a patient until the ambulance crew took over for me...missed getting to my work store to get kitty food...called sitter to see if I could still stop by the store before I get the kids since I was now much later...got them...drove slow home on the icy roads...whew...

You were saying?

Nope- I'm in wave 3. After being in Wave 1 for the past 3 years, it'll feel weird.

We'll call you Ann...oh wait! Can't ruin the surprise!!!!

Woo hoo! I'm in the same wave as Ann - even if we will be the last to know all the good stuff.......I still get to party with the CS queen

I was referring to the picture (had a really good one but decided it might be offensive to some....)

Sounds like you had a rough evening. Glad you are home, even if you did 'dis' me!

LOL! You KNOW you'll get me back sometime.

Yeah, but it won't be in Wave 1

Now I'm getting frustrated.

Margie's show is there in my IPT (for December), with it's commissionable total. But she still shows as inactive, even though the comm sales was over $200. I understand that it was submitted over the holidays, so HO has a lot of things they're processing today. But I want her status to update!!!

 

[finley1991]

Call HO. Even if you have to wait on hold. Call them. It's not worth worrying about it. Tell them that you're registered for LS and that you just want to be sure everything is okay. They'll understand.Keep us posted!

I've had the same thing Ann - I have a new consultant showing up on my IPT - but she doesn't show up as a recruit for me yet in my stats. Also, had a $103 individual order placed by a customer on my website, and I got the notification of it, and also shows up on shipment status, but nothing on my IPT yet. I think they are just really behind on getting that stuff updated.

 

[janetupnorth]

Considering most of these systems operate separately I would agree...things aren't all updated yet since various people are probably off. We should see it smooth out in a week or so.But if you're going to worry yourself sick over something, just call!

 

[chefann]

I will. I don't feel like waiting for a call back, so I'll call on my cell when I leave here and can just leave my earpiece on (without looking like more of a dork than I already am).

I think it takes HO longer to update that. I had the opposite happen a few months ago. I had 2 consultants that I knew went inactive and the IPT didn't update and show them inactive until @ the 8th of the month.

 

[finley1991]

Now that you say that Linda... that's happened to me too. It hasn't updated for me sometimes until the 8th-10th. Hope Ann can get through. This is way too much of a rollercoaster for anyone!

 

[chefann]

The wait was 3 hours. I stayed on the phone on the drive home (just in case they picked up in 20 minutes). And then re-called and set up a call back. I'll post an update when I hear.

 

[friday]

I am so glad I have been slacking in keeping up here on CS. If I had read that there was even a possiblity of my PRECIOUS RIDE TO LEADERSHIP not GOING I would have had a total, over the top, freaked out panic attack!!!!
I am so glad it worked out. And I am so glad I didnt read this until AFTER the drama was over.... phew!!!! MEET YOU SOON!!!!!!

darn glad I don't have any burning questions for them like you do right now!

Best of luck~but I know it will be OK!

 

[chef_kimmo]

friday just told me about this...

Ann, I went last year and was down to a consultant by the time Leadership was held. They won't keep you out. I drove in and was somewhat worried about being told you can't attend. I am sure you have heard back from HO but I think you have nothing to worry about.

In fact when I registered I kind of had an idea that one of mine was going inactive so I registered very quickly while I was still FD, by the time conference hit I was back to Consultant and like I said nothing was said just my ribbon did reflect that I was a consultant and not a FD.

2 years ago I drove in with agreements in hand and they let me in with not a problem. I would think if you have 2 and one was inactive and their show to reactivate them was in December - you should have no worries.

We will be looking for you at the Meet & Greet!

 

[chefann]

FINALLY!!4 1/4 hours after leaving my number for the call back, Marian from HO called. She said that Margie has been updated to "Active", but the IPT hasn't caught up yet (as I suspected). YAY!!Thanks for all the happy thoughts, ladies.

 

[pamperedlinda]

Good news Ann! See ya in next week.
