Good afternoon.

I'd like to update you on staffing of the home office sales team.

National Sales Director Jo Price has left The Pampered Chef to pursue
another opportunity. She has accepted a position with a retail
company who opened a direct selling division several years ago.

When she returned to us in 2005, it was our hope that Jo would stay
with The Pampered Chef for many years. We appreciate all of her hard
work and dedication over the years.

We plan to fill the National Sales Director position and will update
you as soon as we have more information to share.

I know you will join me in wishing Jo well in her new endeavor.

Wow...I wonder what company she left Pc for?
 
Someone must have offered a Higher Price.

From the sound of the execuflash, it was very sudden & unexpected.
 
Wow, that's too bad:(
 
Thanks for the update. It does sound sudden.

In the world of sports, this is a euphemism for F-I-R-E-D.

I don't know what it means here.

I'm sure that when someone is hired you always hope they will be around a long time.

Dear Leaders,

Welcome the Newest Member of Our Team!
We are pleased to announce the selection of Joanne Price as our new National Sales Director!

Jo will join us July 23 from Pampered Chef, where she was the National Sales Director. Her first week will be spent in Wake Forest to meet with the functional VP's and the At Home team. She will then travel directly to Orlando for our PASSION! National Conference where she is looking forward to being with all of you.

Jo has an extensive and successful direct selling background. Here are a few of the highlights:

From 2001-2006, Jo was one of four Regional Sales Managers for Pampered Chef and grew her region by 80% over a five year period. Based on this stellar performance, Jo was promoted to National Sales Director last year. She managed a team of eight Regionals, and was developing and executing a program to increase the number of Directors to Senior Director and Executive Director levels.

Jo is a talented and accomplished sales leader and will bring strong skills in leadership, coaching, communications and senior leader development to The Body Shop At Home. Please join us in welcoming Jo to The Body Shop At Home team.
 
I went to one of their spa parties this past winter and wasn't impressed at all.
Even my friend who hosted it said how diasppointed she was and wouldn't do one again.
The two things I purchased are sitting in my bathroom, and I haven't even barely used them, to be honest I can't even remember what I bought!
I know every piece of PChef that I have every bought!
My friend she was going to stick with her PChef cooking shows!! :)

Wish her luck though, her experience will be missed.

I AGREE! I wasn't impressed and then my order took me 6 weeks to arrive when there is a Body Shop store 2 miles from me. That bugged me.

Well... if anyone can do something for them it'll be Jo!!!!!

And of course, we all know, NOTHING compares to PC!!!!
