Not sure if this is the best place to post this or not. I was wondering, how do I figure out my line? I know who my recruiter is, I know who my director is, but I don't know any further up than that. :confused: I've only talked to my director once, but she's called one more time than that, I was just too busy to talk. And I got an email from someone higher than that, but still not sure who she is? :blushing: And everyone, except for the lady who recruited me, is in other states, so everything seems pretty spread out. Now that I'm qualified and have been in more than 30 days, it would just be nice to figure out who I belong to, where I'm at, so to speak, lol. If you kwim....
 
Re: QuestionJust email or call your director and ask who all is in your upline.
 
Re: QuestionIf they aren't helpful you can always call H.O. for a quick answer!

Re: QuestionI don't know her phone number and honestly barely remember her first name let alone her last, it's not like we've had long conversations and are the best of friends or anything. She called me once to make sure I had my 4 shows scheduled to get qualified and the second time she called she congratulated me for qualifying. I joined here just so I could feel like I wasn't alone out here, lol.
 
Re: QuestionJust go to CC and look at your commission statement, it's all listed there at the top.

If your director is not local does your recruiter have a hospitality director? IF not the 2 of you NEED one! It will help you sooooo much in your business! Your Director will need to request it for you. You can also contact HO and they can help you get in contact with her.

Additionally, think about the relevance of your post to the group's members and whether it adds value to the conversation.

How can I determine if my post is appropriate for the group?

To determine if your post is appropriate, review the group's description and pinned posts for any specific posting guidelines. If your content relates to Pampered Chef products, promotions, or direct sales strategies, it is likely suitable. If unsure, you can also ask a group admin for clarification before posting.
