--Pampered Partner Plus - Everyone as of Feburay 2009 will need to be using Pampered Partner Plus - If you are not using it now you may want to start while we are in the busy season to get use to it. As of February you can no longer use just Pampered Partner.

Guess I'm going to have to stop dragging my feet and learn it!
 
Where did you find this?
 
Every month I say, OK I'm going to switch now. It is now October and I haven't done it.
I guess I better start.
 
Here's what I think...

Switch people, switch! It's pretty easy.
 
OK gang~this is a no brainer now! P3 is really easy and I know you ALL are intelligent, computer savvy women and can switch.....NOW!!!
 
Definitely switch! I didn't do it until this last March and have not been disappointed (except for the CONSTANT updates). There are lots of features you can't see until you are actually using it and I am surprised that I don't miss the reports.

It came thru my direcdtors monthly newsletter- she didn't state a source.
Hope I'm not spreading a rumor.

If I remember correctly, Beth needed a little extra encouragement to switch at that time. Okay, actually it was a gentle kick in the tushy! Now look, she loves it! :candyheart:

It truly is an easy and wonderful program. After you make the change, you will be disppointed you did not make the change sooner.

Still. Not. Ready. :grumpy:
 
Come on Carolyn! You can do it!!!! GO GIRL GO!!!!PS: Linda, that is too friggin' funny!
 
I switched earlier this year and don't regret it one single bit. As Beth said, I don't miss the reports like I thought I would. You can still get every report you need.
 
Would you switch during a month or wait until the start of a month? I know I'm hesitating here. LOL
 
I would switch when you are not busy. Wait until after you've submitted shows that are time-sensative.
 
Oh, and don't do it on a weekend when you might have trouble and tech support isn't available.

Glad you like it....there's not that many people I would go out of my way for to find a dancing chicken! (But, now that I've found it....beware :D)
 
Pretty soon I think we are all going to have to change quite a few things.


Anyone wonder what Leadership is going to be about? The most fun stuff they are sharing with us before we go, the trip, recruting incentives, Jan/Feb host and guest specials. I know that the training is fab-o, but what about the general sessions? What in the world is going to be happening then? Are they going to break up the new product presentation to cover all 3 days? WHAT?! Lots of stuff is about to change I bet. Our minds are going to be BLOWN!!!

So...Carolyn start NOW!! Don't wait.

You are so right Lisa!:p

And Linda is right too! Don't do it on a weekend in case you need help. Another piece of advice is download the version on the PC website - if you use the CD version from the change over kit it will take a lot longer for updates.

This just in....Dear PamperedPartner® User,We wanted to make you aware that PamperedPartner® will reach the end of its lifecycle on Feb. 28, 2009. This means all U.S. Consultants must upgrade to PamperedPartner® Plus (P3) before the end of February 2009, in order to continue to submit orders and manage contacts.P3 makes it simpler for Consultants to place orders, track sales, monitor recruiting leads, contact customers and track income and expenses. In addition, it includes the following features Consultants have requested most often:1) Simplifies Personal Web Site order tracking and sales:
Online orders are automatically downloaded into P3. You can copy Outside Show orders from your Personal Web Site to your Shows in P3.2) Transforms Order History into a sales tool:
Easily identify a customer’s buying habits and suggest new purchases or hosting a Show during a particular month based on the host special. 3) Prevent unresolved issues:
The finalize tab provides an at-a-glance view of outstanding issues that need to be resolved, before submitting an order.In order to help Consultants make a smooth transition, the following resources are available:1) Audio Workshops:
Listen to National Conference workshop recordings conducted by Consultants who have successfully made the move to P3. You can find them on Consultant’s Corner under Consultant and Leadership Training/Online Training Center/Resources.2) Tech Support:
You may contact the Tech Support team by calling the Solution Center at 1-888-OUR-CHEF (687-2433) with any questions.Also, available on an upcoming version by popular demand, P3 will run on Macintosh computers.We have begun sending e-mail reminders to PamperedPartner® users so they will have ample time to make the switch before the February deadline. If any members of your Cluster are not yet using P3, please encourage them to make the switch. If Consultants choose to wait until after the holidays, it could contribute to longer response times from our Tech Support team.The Pampered Chef, Pampered Partner and PamperedPartner Plus are registered trademarks.Please do not reply to this e-mail. It is not set up to accept replies. You are receiving this e-mail because you are a Consultant with The Pampered Chef, Ltd. If you received this e-mail in error, please send a separate e-mail to [email protected].
 
Did you try to switch yet Carolyn? I switched over the summer and it was not a big deal. There are somethings I liked better with PP but to be honest with you, I adjusted quickly.

One of my downline accepts "change" like water mixes with oil. She switched to help one of her downline out then howled about hating change, etc. She did it under pressure and at the end of a month when she was trying to submit parties, so ofcourse it was even more of a pain than it should have been. I have not heard her say a thing about it so must be the transition has gone smoother.

Linda...LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the dancing chicken!!!:)
 
It's funny... I changed back in Jan because I signed 3 and knew they would need help so I wanted to be prepared. I can't even REMEMBER anything about PP!!!!!
