(((hugs))) Is the team at least communicating who has what?I'm still good on team sales & organization sales, just waiting on one more personal recruit to submit. She says she has a show, so I let her know that if she submits it by the deadline it will make a good $750 difference on my paycheck and how I really NEED that extra money with our 2nd house here in TX, less money from the military & less money from my PC business. Hopefully, she'll pull through for me!
 
If you are close, call HO and confirm that your consultants really are green. They may not be able to tell you the amount of the show, but they can tell you if a show was submitted. You know something always fails on the last day so I call to confirm the submission if I am stressed.
 
I called about an hour ago & they said they are not yet seeing anything for the ONE that I'm waiting on. No response to e-mail, FB message or the voicemail I left her. My guess is she didn't do it & doesn't want to admit it. She's in Japan, active duty & at work. So if she didn't get it in before work, I doubt she'll get a chance to run home & make it happen. :(

I hope she got it in and they just can't see it yet:pray:
 
I'm not counting on it. This was a show that she assured me LAST month she'd get in on time & didn't do it. Now she's holding me up this month too. I just need to get new blood. The evac to TX has really affected my ability to follow up with the current team members & do the monthly recognition & incentives. I need to step up, go back to doing what I was doing & keep adding new members to the team! I will prevail. ;)
 
Now just waiting for it to be updated for today. There are 4 shows in that I know aren't on hold that aren't reflected yet... sigh.
 
Can't update soon enough. Threw out a challenge yesterday to text or e-mail me if they'd be green or not for a logo picnic blanket and only had the ones I already knew about respond. Trying not to stress.
 
GAH!!! come on system....
 
I second that!!
 
geez -- i am out of patience!! I am hoping we hit $20k......
 
What the heck is taking so long??? Ugh!
 
IT'S UPDATED!! :happyforyou::clap::clap::):money:
 
YES! Finally!
 
:happyforyou:We're Green!:clap:
 
OMG! Someone I wasn't expecting to submit pulled through & failed to communicate that she was putting a show in! My team went GREEN!!! I so thought another girl dropping the ball & not getting her show in had gotten me this month. My paycheck just went from an estimated $236.97 to $1,081.77. I'm sooooo happy to be paid as AD and not TL this month!!! Dang, and I took all the cookware for my little evacuation home off the host order last night at 11:30 PM & sent it through with just a 1/2 priced item & the free stuff because I didn't think I could afford to spend the money. :( I really needed some cookware here in TX! I'm using a 7 pc set that cost $17 at Wal-Mart & it's driving me crazy!!!
 
YAY!!

We only had $17k for Team Sales, but I'll take it!
 
Horray for everyone who got a nice surprise this month!!! So happy we made organizational sales for paid as AD... down to the wire!:happyforyou:
 
Yes, congrats to everyone who made it, especially those who were stressing at the last minute! ;)
 
I wasn't stressing about it, but we didn't hit. We missed by 1 active consultant. This wasn't our 3rd month. The first one, so we're good. Everyone (at least enough) have communicated to me that they have things on the books for Sept, so we should be good going forward.
 
I'm voting my entire team off the 'island'. I have 9 and only 1 submitted. I haven't been a Senior Consultant since right after I started 2+ yrs ago. :cry: How discouraging.

:clap: HUGE KUDOS to those who made it early on and down to the wire! BIG CONGRATS to you!!!! VERY HAPPY FOR YOU!!! :clap:
 
:( I'm sorry girl!!! BIG (((HUGS)))I think the whole "back-to-school" in this economy made it tougher this year.
 
Wahooo to those last minute submissions and BOO to those who should be voted off. Sending you love and wishes for a better and not last minute surprises in Sept.

Sheila - you can return that 1/2 price item when it arrives and exchange it for the cookware as an exchange. They'll charge the difference to your debit card or cc card and still keep it as a 1/2 price selection. ;)
 
Thanks Laurie! I've never done an exchange. Is that crazy? LOL

Right there with you, Melissa. I thought only 1 had submitted and couldn't believe I was going to get paid as SC. The person who had told me at the beginning of the month that she had a $150 indiv. order must have submitted it close to midnight. Why oh why she had to wait until the last day of the month to submit I do not understand!!

This is month 6 for 3 of my 10 so I think they're about to drop. Time to put on my vampire fangs and get new blood, new blood, new blood!!!
