Rewarding Consultants: Funny Bucks & Points

[DebPC]

Giving Consultants Funny bucks or poiints.Has anyone had success with consultants accuumulating points or bucks thru monthly recognition that they could get turn them in for Directors Store stuff which is displayed at the meetings?

I tried that last year, no one ever really did anything with it. We have piggy banks this year. I give them money in them for coming to meeting or going out of their box. They are supposed to feed them for doing good business also.

I'm hopefully going to start piggy banks for National Conference. I had a few that wanted to go this year but didn't have the cash. I did suggest early on that they use Conference club, but they didn't. I think having cash in a bank might help.My director gives $5 gift cards for bringing an interested guest to the cluster meetings.

My director did that one year but never cashed them in with us. I have not tried this with my team (many who attend meetings are hobbyists anyway).

The piggy bank would be an ongoing thing for the consultant and me (their director). They would pay themselves for little things ($50 for making 3 live contacts) and I would pay them for other things ($1 for 4 live shows). The cash would go directly into their piggy bank that they bring back each month to the meeting. For those that aren't in the area, I would mail them a check each month.

What we do is you get tickets for different things. At the end of the meeting the tickets go into a basket and we draw a winner. The prize is a product and it is usually a product that goes with the next month or the season. So the more tickets they earn the better the chance to win.
We did PC dollars last year instead and it didn't go over as well.

with the pigs, we did a decorating party at the end of the year last year. It's fun when new people come in because we have a pile of brightly colored pigs on the table to greet them.
I found the best ones from Oriental Trading company just fyi

I like the ticket idea. It sounds like fun! Do you give tickets for monthly recognition or just for other activities like quizzes? Do you give tickets for helping out at the meeting like bringing a dish?

Was wondering what everyone has planned for the weekend.

We are cleaning out our camper and getting it ready for the winter storage. I plan on going to The Autumn Arts and Crafts Festival tomorrow with my mom and daughter. Not much planned other than that!! Supposed to rain too, UGH!!!

It will just be another day of hanging out with the kids. DH has to work still. Thankfully, his 12/7 job will be over soon & we can go back to 10/6. He's a farmer, so the 12/7 is 12 hours a day, 7 days a week & the 10/6=10 hours a day, 6 days a week.

The benefit to all this working is that during the winter, he gets to spend a bunch of time with us!!! YAY!

I need to clean my basement too, but I don't want to and I can put it off, so that's what I'm doing.

I am working on gift ideas for a fair I have soon.

So this weekend I was SUPPOSED to have a show Sunday. I still haven't heard back from her though so if it doesn't happen, I will be helping my daughter make a car out of a card board box. Once or twice a year we have "Drive In" movie night at church where kids bring in boxes decorated as cars, sit in them and eat popcorn and watch a movie. There is a prize and everything. It's cute.
