Congratulations!! How exciting...............and yes, I'm singing, "what's gonna work...........TEAMWORK" too!:p :p
 
Wonder Pets, wonder pets, we're on our way....
Congrats Gillian! and my girls love the kitten episode and the elephant one. I have to say the song is so catchy we sing it alot when we are getting ready for dinner. It's our crazy cranky part of the day and singing a song they love makes them happy and I can get more work done without being pestered to death.
 
I haven't heard of the Wonder Pets, but they HAVE to be better than Barney!! I always said that my kids would never know who he is! Good thing he phased out pretty quickly!!

OMG...ALL the kids in my Pre-K class sing this song ALL the time. When I have them clean up the toys i hear, "what's gonna work?...." When they are doing a floor puzzle together I hear, "what's gonna work?...." It's never-ending!


Congratulations Gillian! Directorship is a really great accompishment...way to go!:D
 
Congrats, Gillian!

I'm still so far away from that & losing hope. :( I have 2 qualified, 1 that's 1 show away & 1 that's 2 shows away & don't have #5 yet. So, probably no stage walk for me, but I'm not giving up, yet.
 
WOW!!! Well now its OFFICIAL!!!!
Director Gillian......:cool: :cool: :cool:

I'm almost getting my call as well. All I need is 5 more Recruits....:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
 
Congratulations!!:)

WA-HOOO Gill:D :) :D :cool: ;) :D :) :cool: ;) :)
Nice new signature! I am so excited for you!

While I was on the phone with customer service today, my dd was playing a Dora game on the computer & the HO lady kept saying there was a weird noise in the background. She thought it was funny when I said it was my dd. Oh, & we do watch wonderpets too! Definately better than Barney! LOL

Ginger: I'm right there with ya! I've got the leads....just gotta get 'em to sign!

(I had more smilies, but it told me I could only have 8! LOL)

Thanks ladies! My next goal is the New Director Fast Track! I need 3 recruits and $9000 in sales in my first three months. I have one of the recruits already! I won't be able to attend conference, but the briefcase would be nice :) Since I won't get to walk at conference this year my long term goal is to walk at Leadership and walk at Conference as an Advance Director! WHOO HOO! I LOVE goals!

The puppy episode is my 3 year old's favorite too because they let the puppy outside to go pee pee, and her new "job" is to let our dog out. Hey- if she lets the dog out so I don't have to and feels like a wonder pet doing it who am I to stop her??

LOL You are so funny!

Congratulations on your "official" promotion!!!!!!!!!! I am so glad for you!!:)

I called HO tonight and told them I still haven't got my director agreement and she said that she was giving it to the woman who handles that and I should have it by next monday. We'll see!!

The agreement is supposed to be sent in the middle of the month after you sign your 5th recruit. I signed my 5th at the end of Jan, so it should have been sent mid February, but they didn't send it. I called and requested one and had it within a week.

The call- She told me that since I had 5 qualified consultants that I was eligible for a promotion to director. Then she said "Oh, by the way, I am calling from The Pampered Chef" LOL! I told her that I figured that is who is was :D She talked about goals and such, and asked what my goals for the next three months were. I told her that I was due to have a baby in two months, but that I still wanted to earn the New Director Fast Track. She explained the packet of paperwork that I would be receiving soon, and I asked about my PC dollars and when I would get them. She didn't know so she had to ask someone else, and I never did get an answer... I think that is all I remember because my heart was beating so fast!
 
Anyone know what the New Director Fast Track is? Not there yet, but still curious :)
 
WTG Gill!!! :D
 
Congratulations!!!!! I've enjoyed all your posts as well. Enjoy all those wonderful benefits.

Sorry! The new director fast track is something that you can earn in your first 3 months as director. It breaks down to $3000 in sales each month and 1 recruit or $9000 in sales total and 3 new recruits total. You earn a briefcase and special recognition at conference.
 
That's awesome Gillian! You can do it! Just think May is HWC and June is Sell-A-Thon... what better months to have in that program???
 
Congrats, Gillian!!

I was totally not excited about my HO call, but when I saw HO's number on my caller id I about lost my breakfast! The lady was so nice and we chatted for about 10 minutes. My heart was pounding so fast that I was sure she could hear it in Chicago! My DD was watching Wonder Pets (a creepy cartoon where tiny animals save big animals by teaming up) and they were saving something. My DD was screaming in the background "help! help! help!" pretending to be the animal so the HO lady probably thinks I am nuts!

Anyway, I am official! The woman thought it was hilarious that I was most excited about my PC dollars, but I want to spend them in kit enhancement month when I can get almost twice as much for my money!!
