I got the Turkey Roaster when I signed up. 2 years ago! Aug. 05

I signed in Nov 05 and just missed the Show To Go incentive.

I signed in Nov 05 and just missed the Show To Go incentive.

Funny, my Director was chasing after me for a YEAR!!!! Then when I signed it was JUST IN TIME. I got the show to go, even did double what was required. Couldn't talk them into giving me two though... I had a great start with 9 Bonus Plus, don't know what happened after. First 4 months 18K! Then this year TPC period I missed out on getting the ring for TPC in recruiting because of my sales!!! (they were less than 15K!!!) :cry:

When I signed (May 30th 2006) I didn't realize that I needed to qualify by June 30th to get my free Simple Additons 3-Tiered Stand. I'm sure my director must have told me but I had all my shows set up for July, my "Super starter" month.

I'm looking forward to the great news for recruiting coming up! I'm really focusing on this. I finally have my show schedule consistent, so I can really see myself going somewhere. The more people I'm in front of, the more I can potentially recruit. It can be done with a full-time job. I have 10 shows this month. I'm carrying myself well with my sales. Now I just need to add 3 to my two that work like I do. I have a possible recruit from a show today. I'm going to contact Monday those who have showed an interest.

Ok, now I'm really interested to see what's announced:love:
I've got a show today 1 1/2 hours away, so I'm putting my recruiting hat on!

 

[lacychef]

Ok, I didn't kill our thread did I? lol
How's everyone doing this week?

No, you didn't!

I am insanely busy this week! I've got a show tonight, 2 bridal shows (in Florida) this weekend....hope to get a recruit there too. I'm delivering fundraiser products today, visiting a catty host this afternoon, my grandmother is having surgery tomorrow so I'll be at the hospital all day, I still need to pack for my trip (leaving Friday).....and I'm trying to track down an MIA catalog host (doesn't that just tick you off when they vanish on you ) I need to do invites for two shows in Oct and get them out before I leave town. I'm having a SLAH party in two weeks and need to get those invites out too (my SLAH consultant doesn't take care of her hosts the way that many of us do :cry: )....and how am I gonna get all this done while cruising Chef Success?????? I gotta go get busy! See ya. Oh yeah, and I have not done my newsletter for October.....the list is growing. I need to go to the bank and the Post Office.....

 

[Brandi2007]

Wow! Things have been pretty busy for me! Looks like everyone is doing really good! Welcome to all of you who have decided to join us on our mission to directorship! I still don't have any recruits signed yet. Still a lot of fence sitters. Maybe this new promo will help me convince them! WOOT! I am getting so close to my monthly goals for sales and panorama that I can tatse them! It feels so good! As of this morning I have $2821.00 in sales and 3079 panorama points. I still have 3 shows to get closed and they are growing daily! I just love this company! You would think my enthusiasm would just rub off on my fence sitters! I have next weekend off completely! No shows. I had one that cancelled but that is ok. She rescheduled for a much later date. I have plentry of bookings to keep me moving through the next two months and seem to be averaging 3 bookings per show. It will be nice to spend the whole weekend with my family... even though it seems like everyone in my house is sick but me. "fingers crossed" "knock on wood". LOL

 

[lacychef]

Good luck with all that Linda! Have a good weekend!
Yes, I totally know what you mean about the catalog hosts; I'm trying to track down 2 from Aug:grumpy:

Sounds like you're doing great Brandi! I'm sure you'll hit that sales goal!

HOW ABOUT THE NEW PROMO???!!! Let's all promote by Jan:love:

 

[Brandi2007]

I may have really good news after noon time today... I don't want to say it yet and jinx myself... I'll be back in 1 hour to let you all know.......

 

[Brandi2007]

ya--- never mind. I WILL AVOID THE VENT HERE AND JUST SAY "NEVER COUNT YOUR CHICKENS BEFORE THEY HATCH."

 

[lacychef]

Bummer....I guess we won't ask! On to the next one....

 

[Brandi2007]

Since it is the following day and I have accepted this... LOL... I have been chasing a large order for a couple months now, 3 sets of the 7 peice executive cookware and 3 sets of steak knives that were being thought of a Christmas gifts. We set up the date yesterday at noon to place the order... I called 3 times... no answer. I was really bummed. I am ok now though. If it is meant to be it will be. The hardest part is that I am only $159.00 away from my sales goal and 1,100 away from my panorama goal so that one order would have put me WAY over the top. I am still happy and feel extremely successful with my month... besides, September is not over yet!

 

[lacychef]

Well that would be a nice order! Maybe she just got busy & will call you today:thumbup: You've still had an aweseme month!

 

[Brandi2007]

Thank you Lacy! I did all my numbers up yesterday and I am $159.00 short for my own personal goal. Still excellent but still not my goal. Soooo... I am offering a one day sale today! LOL 10% off anything in the catalog (20% for past hosts) and a free cookbook of their choice with a $25.00 or more purchase... the kicker... the people I am asking are men and I have made up Christmas gift baskets ranging from 40- 100$. Wish me luck! Oh- and I think my potential recruit is just about ready to sign!

 

[lacychef]

Let us know how the guys like the sale!
Where's everyone else.....seems like it's the Brandi & Lacy show around here....
I'm closing out 2 shows on Sunday, so I'm anxious to see what my sales are ending up. I"m tired today; had a show last Sunday out of town, PTO Monday, show Tuesday, kids club Wednesday, show last night, show tomorrow.....overbooked this week & they all held! I"m anxious to see what my panorama points are after all these shows are turned in too:thumbup:

 

[Brandi2007]

LOL Where is everyone??? This is turning into our little show! Sounds like you finished off your month fantastic Lacy! I made my goal.. last minute but I still made it! $4208 in sale. I am also at 4470 in panorama... not quite sure if everything has gone through there yet though. But guess what!!?? My first recruit is signing next week!!! WOOT! We have our cluster meeting tonight and I will be picking up her quick start box from my director!

 

[sfdavis918]

OK, I'm back! You might remember that I posted pictures of my horribly messy desk. Well, it still looks like that! Goal for today is to get it under control. It is affecting every aspect of my life! I am have a bookkeeping business and I have tax returns due on the 15th and have misplaced a form that I need!

I also need to get extra organized. I really feel like that is holding me back professionally as well as causing issues in my marriage and family life. Yesterday I had a show and was frantically trying to get ready for it and getting mad at my boys for getting into my things and snapping at my husband because he was watching football. It was completely my fault and now I have decided that I am the only one who can change it.

So I am making the commitment to this thread and also the 3-2-1 accountability thread. I really believe my first step on my road to directorship is an organized desk!!

 

[Brandi2007]

Yeah Sarah! You can do it! My clean desk has helped me out immensely! I don't know why I had so much trouble doing it at home when I keep my work office desk clean at the end of every day but I did. So I just took the same focus at home as I do at work. I have a place for "unfinished things" to be filed so when I leave the desk it is always clear... even if there is still stuff to do. I also had the "yell at my children and blame my boyfriend syndrome"... to solve that I make sure I have a special bag that holds all of my show paper work. This way I know it is always ready for the next show so the only thing I have to worry about preparing before a show are the products themselves. This has cut my prep time in half if not more! I can actually get ready for a show before I leave for work in the morning now!

One more big tip.... do all of these things because you CHOOSE to not because you HAVE to and that will make all the difference in the world!

 

[pamperedlinda]

Hey ya'll, I didn't desert you. I went to visit family in Florida over the weekend and did a couple of bridal showers while I was there.

Here's my Sept stats:

Submitted $4152 in sales (the bridal showers from the 29 & 30 are still open)
3917 in Pan-O Rama to date
2 recruits for Sept (total of 4 now) Still trying to get #5 and keep them all active so I can walk at Leadership!

I just got home a little while ago and I am tired!

 

[sfdavis918]

Excellent news! My Aunt who is hosting the catty show is interested in PC! She currently sells Partylite, but is finding it hard to get shows in her area. When she took the PC catalog around she said it was super easy to sell. I sent her some info and she said that she will know if she wants to try it soon so she can get started in November. WAHOO!!!!

 

[pamperedlinda]

Way to go Sarah! I got a call from someone who wanted to book another Bridal Shower off of one I did in Fl this weekend. There is no way I can get back down there before the end of the year so I told her she should sign-up and do it....better to earn money than to spend it! She is asking her DH about it so I hope she will, if not, I'll be looking for a consultant for her.....anyone near Sebring FL?

 

[lacychef]

Sarah: I'm with you on the desk....it's been my goal for the past 2 weeks--gotta get it done this week! (actually it's my whole office!)

Brandi: awesome on your month! Glad you met your goal & congrats on the recruit! I thought you already had one....guess you & I are on the same track!

Linda: awesome month! Hope that gal signs with ya!

 

[amy07]

GO Linda Go Linda Go Linda!
You'll be a director before you know it!

 

[Brandi2007]

Nice to see you all with us again! Sounds like everyone is doing well! I can't wait to do a bridal shower! I have everything I need except the bride! LOL I just had my first show for October cancel on me. I am trying to turn it into a catty show but she said she would have to get back to me on it. Hope that is not a sign of how my month is going to be! AHH!

 

[Brandi2007]

ok. Septembers over, goal completed now it's time to start all over!!! LOL I am not going to stress myself out as much this month. My new October goal is to get 2400$ in sales so that I can reach my 15000$ career sales. I am also goign to put more focus toward building my team. OK now I wrote it... hold me accountable!

 

[chefann]

Ok, I'm going to hop in now, too. I actually have 3 shows on the books for October - first time that's happened in a LONG time! My goal for this month is $1500 and at least 5 shows booked for November, plus 15 people at the Mega Show my extended cluster is having.

 

[Brandi2007]

Hey Ann! It will be great to have you! How many consultants do you have on your team right now?

 

[chefann]

Um... that depends on how you count.

1 active
1 who just went inactive on the first (because she didn't submit anything for Aug and Sept)
1 who's been inactive since April but wants to reactivate

So, kinda 1 and 2 halves.

I've started sending weekly team emails with reminders and tips, just to keep PC in the minds of the inactives.
