Pros and Cons of Promoting to Director

[pckrissy]

Being a new director and waiting for all my new Director paperwork...this thread has been very helpful! Thank You...

Kathy~good luck on recruiting and promoting. From my personal experince (a Director for approx. 12 days!) if you worked hard to become a Director you continue to work hard so not to lose it. If you want it bad enough you will make it happen~I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT~~~Enjoy Conference I guarantee you will promote shortly after, if only conference energy could be bottled...it is AWESOME you will be so pumped up!!!!

I know I would be devestated if I accepted it and lost it that is why I am trying to be realistic at this point. I coul dsay - Oh sure no problem go for it and get the goodies but I know I would be very upset to lose it. We just had a somone in our cluster lose hers so that is why I have been questioning it alot Especially since I have been successful somewhat in recruiting. NOw to get some qualifications too.

Kathy,

Believe me when I say this but ALL of us feel this same way. All of the WHAT IF's can drive you insane. I know and went through this same debate for a while after Leadership when I started my recruiting streak (didn't know it was a streak at the time). Carol Radu always said to all of her downline was that you should take the Directorship when you get the 5 as basically you would have almost 9 months to recoup if need be before you would lose it. My Director and Upline Director were worried about taking it at the 5 and wanted me to wait til everything was stronger, etc.
I ended up taking it the second they called (LOL!) but I actually had 7! One is still not qualified and one reactivated and another qualified on May 31st. However, my sales and my cluster sales were above the $4,000 so the sales issue wasn't a big thing at the time. My fear is just losing some of my parttimers who don't call or return e-mails on a regular basis so you have got to keep building your team and try to get your cluster to recruit as well!!!
You do want to do the bulk of your cluster's sales so that won't be a worry and obviously the more shows you do the more people you will be in front of which will lead to more recruits!
My sales over the last few months haven't been bad but I definitely wasn't concentrating on them though. I was so worried about everyone else's business and getting them qualified and all, I was lacking on my host coaching etc. My goal now is to work on my summer as I really want the cruise and I am on track for it. Had a show last night and got 5 bookings! 3 more for July and 2 more for August and ON MY CALENDAR!!! YEA!!!

So, in a nutshell, work your business, ASK EVERYONE to join your team, and accept Directorship when they call! YOU CAN DO IT!!!

...and by the way, the perks are great already!!! I promoted June 1st and last Friday I got ALL of the Spring NEW PRODUCTS!!! I AM SO EXCITED! Also, I have already had 2 online lead orders. 1 for $102 and one yesterday for $207!!!
