January 5, 2011 is our special meeting to see our incentive trip for the year.

So glad they are giving us a lot of notice on that one!

and dont forget the incentive for holding/submitting 2 show nov 1-15th!!! i want that apron BAD!!!

 

[Intrepid_Chef]

But it's not Sell A Thon AS USUAL. No spring products unless you sell at least $1,500. And no December Sell a Thon either.

They do need to "share the wealth" a little bit....Upper level Directors have the opportunity of getting double the product. One for their level and another for their sales.

I like that "level 1" is for the whole month......this is what it looks like in Canada:
November 1-30
$2000 - selection
$3500 - bigger selection
$7000 - biggest selection - assuming this means all new S/S products

Last year, we had to submit 2 shows Nov 1-15 to earn "level 1" = ONE new S/S product (yes, ONE product for 2 shows!) Then level 2 & 3 were the same as this year - November 1-30, $3500 & $7000. So, I like that they have eliminated "2 shows" thing.

This has been a director benefit for years! It hasn't changed. Directors (not just upper level) and above can earn the products by their sales and if they have $1250 in 3 of 4 designated months and hold the title of at least director in the month it's shipped they get the $6000 level product package.

It does kind of stink. But to be honest, we didn't get that much when it was submit 2 shows. I still ended up taking advantage of the 50% off opportunity.

I think they must be wanting to reward those who work the business more. It is doable to get $1500 in sales with a few shows. We just really need to host coach well. The sales come when we are genuinely excited about our products. If we dwell too much on what PC isn't giving us for free, then we get down and start getting bad attitudes. Those attitudes rub off on others here and on our hosts/guests.

I want to get free stuff and I only have a few shows on my calendar. I'm taking this as a challenge! You bet I'm going to try to squeeze in one more show and try to get some catty shows. I'm also going to promote Christmas gift ideas and other things. If after all I try I still strike out and not reach the goal, I'll be disappointed, but I'll know I tried my best.

When we earn them, we appreciate it more, too. And we will be proud of our accomplishments!

They often don't announce the December part of the sellathon until later. They sometimes also have a new product for recruiting too and again that is often announced later.


Geeze, ladies. Keep complaining and they'll just stop the incentives all together. Work your business. 1 show per week gives you many of the incentives they offer. If you only do 1 or 2 shows a month that's YOUR CHOICE but don't whine that you don't get "stuff". The idea of the incentives is to make us stretch a bit.

 

[sherri lynn]

I'm a newbie and this may be a dumb question but where on CC do I look for the November and December specials? Thanks in advance.

 

[Maragib]

on the right hand quick links sidebar there is a button for promotions grid or something like that.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to complain. I was just stating a fact. I do plan on doing enough shows to earn for free. I don't know about my downline though. Fingers crossed.

 

[Intrepid_Chef]

I'm GLAD the directors get so much! The most generous among them do "share the wealth" by giving them away in product drawings to members of their cluster.Maybe they will announce a December SAT. I'm hopeful. I think it was announced with November last year, but I'll see.The SAT is a big change for some of us. In past years, I chased the $1,500 level, fell short, but still got something for my effort. I appreciated having new products to show people in the spring, but I do have to say I REALLY liked getting a nice selection when I hit $1,500 in June. Maybe I'll get there again. Maybe I won't. But I do dislike that they took the bottom level out for those who can only do this part-time. It's doable in ONE show, but those kinds of hosts don't come along every day.

That is generous of them but it shouldn't be expected that directors give away all the benefits we get. We get 3% extra commission and overrides if our team performs (so not every month for most of us) and the free products if we EARN them. Some people expect us to turn around and give it all away. There are costs of doing a meeting and coming up with extra incentives for our team and these things are a perk for achieving directorship. It's up to us what we do with it. Personally, I do give some to my team as incentives but for the most part I use the products in my kitchen and kit or give them to my adult kids (a perk for being my kid).

It's kind of like our customers thinking we should give them our discount on what they buy. I'm not doing this to help all my friends get deals. I pay bills with my paycheck just like they do.

 

[Intrepid_Chef]

Never said I expected it. Just that it is very nice when they do. For those who have a supportive cluster, it helps them meet goals and incentives. And we're talking 1 or 2 duplicate products, certainly not the whole line.

I totally agree with you! :thumbup:
Just to clarify my intent in my post (hopefully you didn't think I was complaining)...

I do think it's too bad we don't get something for submitting 2 shows, but...not getting something isn't the end of the world. It doesn't mean that HO doesn't appreciate us.

An incentive means that if you work a certain way and meet the criteria, you will receive a certain reward. HO doesn't have to give us anything. They set the bar a little higher this year, that's all. Maybe they want us to grow, maybe they can't afford to give so much away to all consultants, who knows. But it's their decision. We can complain or we can accept the terms and either try to earn something or decide it isn't worth it. It's all in our attitudes.

I personally am just glad that even when I didn't earn much other times, I was given a 50% off discount to get what I wanted. And it wasn't a requirement!!! It was my choice to get those things. I didn't have to, it's not required. Our catalog is gorgeous and we don't lug every single item to shows anyway..so we don't necessarily have to have all the new products.

 

[Jenn822]

I'm still a newbie too... What exactly does a sell-a-ton entail?

 

[Intrepid_Chef]

Free products from the spring line if you sell more than $1,500 in November.
