I also am wanting to walk as a director at NC 08!~ I have no consultants right now, but....I have 4 possible recruits signing next month and one in October! I really want to make it to leadership in January also. I am pretty organized, I just have to make sure I offer the opportunity to everyone at my shows. I did the why bag for the first time last night at a show and I got 2 leads with shows booked for September. They loved the WHY bag! I was excited!! I have 10 shows for September already and with those 4 possible recruits, I will have a busy, busy month in Sept!! Can't wait, and this thread will be great!!

Oh an by the way... this business is so awesome! I only had one show coming on my commission check today because I took some time off in August to finish off the summer with my children. So needless to say I wasn't expecting very much money... my commission check for that one show??????? $184.45! THANK YOU PAMPERED CHEF!

Just think, when you're a Director it will be a lot more!! Last month I only turned in a $550 show and my comission was $380 with all my overrides and I only have two girls really working their business right now. I was shocked to get that check too!!
 
Wow, maybe I do want director .. I want it by tomorrow okay? LOL j/k

Addie - Thats over half of the show! What an awesome commission! congrats!
 
Okay so todays tasks for me will be to clean out a 3 drawer bin I have with a filing drawer on the bottom. And try to put some PC stuff in there. I"m also going to try to work on my webpage with putting REcipes in there, anyone have any idea on how i can make my webpage better?
 
We also want to walk as Director at 2008 NC. But we need some advice.
We currently are working with 4 people discussing the business. They all seem like they are going to commit but how do we get them from just looking and thinking to signing? We have really begun working the business like you should and it is amazing.

When I've had someone on the fence about PC, I say, "We've talked about the PC biz... so tell me what you're thinking..." (That is my magic line and always works for me for some reason!) And then let them talk it out. That's where their objections or issues will come out. Be sure not to ask any closed ended questions... "Are you ready to sign?" NO. "Do you have any more questions?" NO.

If you're going to ask closed ended questions, be sure that they are questions that they will say YES to! Like, "Did you have a great time at the show you attended?" "Doesn't doing something like this look like fun?" Only YES questions get people excited.

Good luck! Keep us posted! :)
 
great line colleen! i'll have to use that!
 
Well, I cleaned out that little filing drawer, now I just gotta figure out what I'm going to put in it. It has an actual filing drawer on the bottom, then a smaller drawer above that then the top one is really small .. like for pens or letters or something... anyone got any ideas?

I was hoping soem of these items would have been paid for so I could take them to the post office but nothing yet.

Plus I can't create an updated list of what's left until I know yeah or nay on the items people are asking about

I think I will move the pending items into the next room while I wait. Then I can work on packets.
 
I am going to finalize a date for an October show today. I am working on recruiting her. She wants to the only thing stopping her is that she is a single parent and new in town... she needs to find someone who will help her watch her child when she has a show... I am brain storming. I am also going to contact the limo driver from Chicago. He is considering a catalog show or at least (so he says) a large order. I will make all of my first calls to all my hosts in the first three weeks of September this evening after normal work hours. Also this evening I will be putting together my donation basket for a scrapbooking event. They do donation gufts to hand out as raffles or what not and a past host had asked me if I was interested... I plan to put some sort of coupon inside, recruiting information, the large serving spatula a SB a catalog and a few small door prize type gifts... all in a basket to look pretty of course. Oh- and I am working with a mortgage broker to get some leads on real estate sales. He is a former boss of mine that just opened his own business and we have decided to put our heads together. That will probably do it for the day. How about you Kathy? What are you doing with all your extras? Have you considered holding an open house and using them as prizes?
 
Guess you posted while I asked! LOL
 
I am learning slowly to have a pen and paper near me every time I talk on the phone and take small notes. That way I can remember things that I promised to a specific host or the little teeny things that I need to do later. Some times it is easy to forget the small details that are really quite important.
 
okay... I just went to the UPS store and finalized the October date... now onto the rest!
 
is no one working today?? lets go ladies ... whats your progress?

I'm about to go watch a dvd on host coaching and then the new dvd for this season
 
I posted on a message board for my mom's group asking for referrals. I had a gal ask for more info. I shot off an email late last inght and I'm calling her this afternoon.

My director gave the info on a free table at an Office Max event for Saturday, so I've got to find child care and then hopefully I'll get some leads from there!
 
that will be nice jenny!

i'm a member of a moms group online, what did your message say?

My goals for tomorrow (heading to work in a few minutes) Finish packets (roughly ten) and show set ups - Go to bank - Go to post office, prepare for show tomorrow ( ingredients already purchased)

I went to the library today - got a card - Checked out two organization books from Stephanie Winston and but a book called POwer of Focus for Women on hold
 
Today I cleaned out my one filing cabinet ... trying to find what stuff i should put in there since its by my desk

i entered all of my shows into P3 as well was PWS

I made tons of calls trying to get bookings, will have to finish that tonight becuase no one was home.

I also cleaned off my desk and went through some other stuff I"m trying to sell.

tomorrow I am going to try to finish organizing my filling drawer, make more calls.

Desk question, if you dont mind...

I only have a computer desk....do all of you think that a two drawer filing cabinet will be suffice for filings? There are only two small drawers in the desk and two shelves.

Get organized now as you are growing and it will make your life so much easier

Hanging file folders or a BInder system work for most - There is even an organization CD on the Supply orde. Some people are blessed with the gift of organiization and some are not - Even Virgos like me LOL!

Look for the Organization thread under Conferece for more tips
 
denarella ... i only have one desk that i use for the computer and my pc stuff. i have a book shelf i keep most of stuff on and theni put some stuff on the desk, its kinda big. i'm trying to make it work for myself, we'll see how it goes LOL
 
I have all my stuff in a 2 drawer filing cabinet and the rest all over my computer desk. I will get it all clean and then 2 days later it's a mess again!
 
I will be out of town this weekend but my goals for Monday will be to get at least 2 more bookings on my September calendar! I have 6 cooking and 2 catty's on it for now. The more shows, the more opportunities to extend the PC opportunity. My one and only recruit has a catty show for September, so she'll be "active" for at least 2 more months after that.

Thank you! :) I have a consultant who keeps complaining about the 20% comission. I gave her that example and showed her my check. I told her that with PC you earn what you work for. If you just want to turn in $200 every other month to stay active you can't expect to make much, but if you set goals and either book lots of shows to increase your sales past the $1250 mark every month or set your sights on Directorship then you will see yourself making a lot more. My Director is "Advanced" and when I shared she told me the same happens with her... She has another Director on her team who sold a little over $4K, she sold $1250 and got almost the same comission!! So now I'm shooting for Advanced! :D I say go for it, you can do it! With tips from Chefsuccess and the great people here that are willing to share you've got the formula.
 
I was so excited when i turned in my $1000 show and saw that I had made 27% ($300)! I'm still a regular consultant so I couldn't even imagine the commission if I had been a Director or Advanced Director! Can't wait to get there!!!

That's what I'm talkin' about!!! Good for you!! When you become Director not only will you get that higher comission, but you will get all kinds of other perks that are SOOO worth it! I got over $600 worth of the new products. Be sure to tell me about how you felt when you get your first Director Box of free products!
 
I was just able to make a few more calls tonight, i got one more booking and she is interested in signing! If i get her to sign ... that makes me a

FUTURE DIRECTOR!!!!!!!
