Hi, all!
I posted some of this information in the Lounge, but said I'd post it in here, too. So here it is, with some more details.
(I cannot take credit for this idea. My director got it from her Director, who got it from hers - Randy Weiss. I don't know where it originated, but it seems to work.)
The Pig Promotion
Everyone hates paying for conference all at once. There's already Conference Club to make paying registration easier. What if there was a similar program for all the other Conference expenses: hotel, travel, meals, etc.
The Pig Promotion is an easy way to save for all those expenses while creating good business habits. You can do it on your own, or as a cluster activity. You can base it on a calendar year, or go from July to June (Conference year). Whatever works for you.
In a nutshell, you use money in a piggy bank as a reward whenever you perform some specific activity that grows your business. Conduct a cooking show? That 25 cents. Close and submit any show? That's $1. Make 3 customer care calls? That's 30 cents (10 cents each).
If you do it as a cluster activity, then the Director in charge gives additional money in lieu of other recognition rewards at the cluster meeting. Top in sales for the month? $5!
The other rules are simple:
I no longer have the specifics that we used, but I recreated them, or something approximating them. Feel free to modify it to suit yourself or your cluster.

The other rules are simple:
- Be honest. No fair putting in money for phone messages instead of live calls
- Once the money is in the pig, it's there until the end of the promo.
