I know it is a distant goal but I want to shoot for Director by next Conference. My reasoning is because cannot do $4000 in sales myself and I need 5 strong consultants or additional hobbyist to help before I can ge the team to accept directorship.

Let's all work together to reach our goals whether it is Leadership or National Conference.

Who is with me?? Some of you may have goals to be Director by Leadership some at National Conference - Let's all work together and share ideas.

First action steps - Is your office organized for success? How many shows do you have on your calender for this fall? Duska Mills on the monthly cll in July suggested a minimum of 5 cooking shows a month. Even if you work full time this can be doable.
Are you doing 3-2-1?? Where are your recruiting materials? If your show schedule and leads are low have you looked into doing any craft fairs this fall?

I'm in! Shooting for director by Leadership & working on my own schedule. I am looking for booth opportunities in my area to boost that schedule. Just did a fair in July, have a Holiday Expo for Nov, and made contact for a Pumpkinfest in Sept today. Trying my best to get there bc I just resigned my FT job to see what I can do with PC!!!!

Cold called someone I thought would be a great PC consultant this afternoon, & he said, I thought about that when you first started, and then never said anything to you. They have just phased out his position, so he is in between jobs. Sending out recruit info tomorrow! 2 qualified, 2 potential as of tonight.
