9-15-10: I love that I can be out an about and mention to ANYONE that I sell Pampered Chef and be told how much they love it. I know it was said before, but I want to keep this thread moving and it really does touch my heart. Next?
 
I love all the carrots that PC offers just for working our biz!
 
I love when I get "thank you" responses to my newsletters from people excited about the recipes each month! :D
 
I love that I can help someone from their "What's for dinner" dilemma.
 
I that we get HO referrals. Had a RL as a HO referral. Explained the options of having a party for a discount, talked about grand openings and while we were talking she asked me for my consultant number and completed the kit agreement before we ended the conversation!:party:
 
I love sending out one of our online flyers from PC and getting about 4 requests for hosting parties!:party:

YEA! That's terrific!


But...I'm a little (sometimes a lot) slow...what's a RL?
 
That's AWESOME Ann! Congrats...may they keep coming!

Becky - I think it's Recruit Lead
 
Thanks Laurie! Just couldn't figure that one out!
 
I love that recently someone who has been receiving my email newsletter actually emailed me to let me know her new email address. She doesn't want to miss getting my newsletter!

And I LOVE that I have 3 cooking shows within 4 days at the end of Sept/beginning of Oct. I pretty much only had 3 cooking shows ALL summer, so things are starting to pick up for me and get me out of my slump. I have two consultants supposedly signing in the next week or so too!
 
That's Awesome Becky!
 
I love that we can all share in each others celebrations and disappointments. I love the spirit of support and generosity amongst the consultants.

Here here! 9-19-10: I love it that even though I am getting the dreaded "can't make the meeting after all" calls and emails today for my meeting tomorrow, I can turn to my friends here and know that we are going through the same stuff, and it's still a great gig!

9-21-10: I love that even when I get those wierdo consultants who expect me to do EVERYTHING for them, then get mad when I encourage them to do it on their own, I can stand back and laugh at this.

I have a blind consultant who is VERY demanding. VERY. I pick her up and bring her to the meetings, then take her home, and she lives about 15 miles away. She borrows my tools and then loses them. She is a dear, but just I guess organizationally challenged. I sent out an email to my cluster today because NINE of them told me they were coming to the meeting and then never showed. She was not one of them, she had moved over the weekend and I didn't plan on her attending anyway. So I sent out an email today with next month's date and just mentioned that is disheartening when they tell me they are coming and then don't show up at the last minute, and she sent me an email BLASTING me for a bad attitude, and that she wants to go it on her own and won't be looking for any help from me any more as a director. Ummm. ok. I wasn't referring to her to begin with, and she is welcome to find another director that hauls her around for free, LOL. At first I was puzzled by her email and then my dh started laughing about it, and I could laugh too. So I am loving that it takes all kinds, and I can laugh at it.
 
Ugh....sorry Nanisu. I am glad that your hubby helped you see the humor in it. What WILL you do with all that extra time! :)

I love seeing the team apply the training and see immediate and positive results.

Sorry, I haven't been on here (and shouldn't be now...at work and it is a crappy day...you are all my calm in the storm!!).

Yes...RL is recruit lead (now that you are rocking at the ticket game you will have lots of RL's!!!)

I love when this same HO referral that signed has found me a cost free place to hold a meeting so I can get a team growing north of me!! She is already looking at recruiting and I am holding a second meeting now (it's ok, my local team is just squeaking by but I will have to call some SC and make sure they will be active so I don't drop down to Team Leader from Advanced)
 
Sending good juju your way Ann. =)

I love hearing the excitement of new teammates from doing their 3-2-1, and I love hearing the ooh's from the guests at shows.
 
I love that in one hour I am leaving for a Director Retreat and 3 days of AMAZING girl time with my team in Colorado!!!!!
 
OOOH Jealous almondfarm! :D Have a blast!

I love that than I can choose to ignore my phone and not worry about it coming back to bite me in the...
 
I LOVE that I'll already re-promote to Director on 10/1. I have 2 SC lines active and maybe even 3 will do it. Better yet, I recruited this month, so now I'll be eligible to get back into the lead system , which I REALLY miss!! (if I can get to $1250 this month). It's been a long time since I've been in the lead system and it really does make a big difference. Especially leading up to the holidays. And I'm excited to be back in it for October for the pink HWC products that I hope lots of people will be ordering.

I should have another consultant signing soon, so possibly in October. Things are looking up slowly but surely.

I love that I was sitting back thinking everything was sent in and a friend just called me and said "I have a $450 catalog show here, isnt' today the last day of the month? I'm ready to go with it...is today a good day to close?" Um, YES, that would be fine, I didn't even know you were collecting orders...and it just puts me over $4K personally (think higher commission), AND at least this month I am a director again==had to send a show in for one of my consultants to do it but I had the orders and it worked....So I'm good to go till the end of the year at least. Sheesh.
 
I'm excited because I have 4 shows in the next 8 days! And I'm going to get at least 1 more October show from each show and have a stellar month! :D
 
I love the fact that I will someday soon be able to replace my full time job income with my PC business!
 
I love that I have been working hard on my business and I can take credit for the results. I did 9 cooking shows in the last 3 weeks, one grand opening and signed two consultants, added a SC line this month and have someone lined up to sign early next month!!!

Wow, Chantelle, that is GREAT news! Congratulations!
 
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE getting a long email from a newer recruit who is working her business that ends "I know this has been a big jumble of an email, but my goals for Pampered Chef (summarized) are: 1. book 12 shows a month consecutively beginning in January. Use November/December to lead up to that. 2. Become an expert on the Policy Guide and the products. 3. Develop a system to organize my expenses and my dealings with hosts.
Thanks so much for working with me! I'm really excited about all the possibilities. I really have come to love Pampered Chef, and I thank you so much for getting me into it. "LOVE being a director and I love my job!
 
That's awesome, Chantelle!! :D:D

10-1-10: New month, new thoughts:

I love that it's booth season, and I love doing booths! I love the recognition in people's eyes when they see my PC banner, and I love the energy! (from the crowd, not how much I have to expend, LOL--I love booths but they are TIRING).
