Navigating Leadership When You're a Consultant - My Story

[finley1991]

Me too Kate. I was in my 3rd month of not meeting the $4k cluster requirement. My director gave me a show to submit so that my team would hit the $4k. It saved me from entering the relinquishment cycle. Now I ensure that my personal sales are at least $3k each month so that doesn't happen again.It's a little more tricky when you're a FD. But we all know it's going to work out and that Ann will be at Leadership in January!

What about your lead list? Isn't there anyone on there that has been saying "maybe some time"? Tell them about the awesome promotion they are offering for new consultants who sign in December (EVEN DEC. 31!) and see if they will help you out. Maybe offer them something more like something from your stash of extra products when they qualify. They only have to sign to get you to leadership and then they have tons of time to qualify.

Ann...I am just now reading this post!

I hope they let you go since you are already registered! Or, that the catty show thing works out to reactivate one of your downlines....

You are so supportive here, I just know you will be an asset to those around you at Leadership!

Prayers that you are there in January...

I've got a couple to call tonight. I'm working past the objections that I tell myself on their behalf. (I know, I know - don't prejudge!) I'm going to really talk up the extra 30 days promo and the "pay off Christmas" aspect.

One of my gals called me about 30 minutes after I sent out the email. She has a few friends who need a couple of things and she thinks she can gather enough other orders to put in a $200 show. And if I happen to get a random order or two in the next few days, I'll have her add them to that catalog show (I'll give up the commission on them if it means she reactivates).

 

[finley1991]

Great start Ann! Hope you're feeling better!!!! Everything is going to work out! And the best part is is that one of them called you!!!! YOU GO GIRL!

 

[pamperedval]

Good luck Ann!

Sending good thoughts your way - we know you'll make it! I'm looking forward to meeting you since we are always in different waves for conference.

Leadership wouldn't be the same without you...

 

[pamperedbecky]

Ann,
I'm crossing my fingers for you!!! I hope to see you at Leadership!!

 

[Chef Kearns]

Ann, I sure hope to see you there! Great start on your $200!! You can do it, girl. I'm sure your team loves you just as much as we do and want to help any way they can.

Great. Now I'm crying at my desk. Everyone here at work is going to think I'm weird(er).

And, since I already have the time scheduled off work, if HO says I can't go - I'm still going! So I won't be able to go to workshops and things. I can still hang out with you gals in the evenings.

And it just happens that I'm off work some of the days... you are more than welcome to come hang out at my place or I'll take you on a tour of Cincinnati!!! Then we can go crash the MnG together!

{{{nerd hug}}}

Way to go Ann. How great that your team member is stepping up to the plate for you! Keep us posted....we need you at leadership!

 

[chefann]

I totally slacked off on this yesterday. I think I was so wiped emotionally that I just crashed after dinner, since I had already heard from one of my recruits. I swear on a stack of catalogs that I'll make some phone calls tonight.

I did call my Director and let her know what is going on. (Which reminds me, I should send a note to her and to her Director, just so everyone in my upline is in the loop.) I haven't heard anything back from Randy about the inquiry to HO, but if my recruit reactivates, it'll be a moot point anyway.

 

[PChefPEI]

Boy, that one statement just about sums it up. Jeez, how can they have a PC get-together without Ann?

Okay, what they said!! You are totally awesome Ann! We all love you!! :love: :chef:

 

[ChefLisa]

Ann,

Here is an interesting thought. When your recruit reactivates and you regain your Future Director status, won't you qualify for the recruiting bonus? Extra $100.00 cash?

Lisa

I am always trying to look at the glass half full!

If that is the case offer half or all of this to the recruit that reactivates....a little extra motivation may do the trick!!!

 

[chefann]

Actually, yes. I did think of that yesterday. It would be nice to have for the hotel bill, though. I've got a bunch of business materials (stickers, rubber stamps, postcards, etc.) that I'm going to put together for her. And she actually owes me some money for some products that she bought out of my basement stash (she had been paying in installments). I think I'll forgive the rest of that debt as a thank you to her (it's over $100).

 

[Chef Kearns]

That's a pretty big thank you!

 

[chefann]

I won't actually miss the money - lots of the products were things I earned, got for free with purchase, got on my HO shopping spree, etc. And If I did have money tied up in them, it's from so long ago that any payment is "found" money. So while it may seem generous to forgive the debt, it's actually not a big deal (and no cash out of my current pocket).

 

[Jennie4PC]

Ann I really hope it works out for you and you get to go to Leadership

 

[Addie4TLC]

Well I already look forward to meeting you at Leadership- I KNOW you will be there!!

 

[legacypc46]

So, how is it looking? Inquiring minds want to know.

 

[chefann]

Haven't heard from Randy with an answer from HO. Margie is collecting some orders. And I completely spaced on calling a couple people tonight. (And now it's too late.)I'm confident that I'll be there.

 

[pamperedlinda]

......I'm confident that I'll be there.

Oh, I hope so! :chef:

 

[Pam Moore]

cheering you on Ann. But I do know how frustrating it can be when the people in your group don't follow through. You can always attach a few loose orders you collect over the next couple of days to hers.

 

[chefann]

I got a good Christmas present yesterday. My recruit who was collecting orders called and said that she thought she had enough to reactivate. She's going to submit them today or tomorrow. Now I'm on pins and needles until they show up in my IPT.

 

[ChefLisa]

Fingers crossed for you!

Lisa

 

[finley1991]

woo-hoo Ann!!!!Let us know when it all shows up so everyone can share in your big sigh of relief!!!!

 

[pamperedalf]

Ann I have beeb checking this everyday to see the outcome. I can only imagine how you are feeling.

 

[pamperedlinda]

Hooray for you Ann! And give your recruit a big fat hug and kiss from all of us!

 

[Addie4TLC]

Is it official??

 

[Bren706]

Hooray for you Ann!!
