anybody else notice that these 2 are slow to update?
 
Yes, they are very very slow to update!
 
very slow lately. Which makes it very hard to keep track this way.
 
yes, very slow, which makes me very nervous here at month end.
 
yep...it's driving me nuts! (though some would say I've already reached that destination. :))

Last year I was trying to keep up to date on my Consultants' sales to make sure we hit a goal. I asked them to each make a screen print of their Monthly Sales diary and email it to me when they were finished submitting for the month. It worked great!

I know--I am actually going to make it I think in Sales! But it's driving me nuts having to track everything in excel--one year I missed it- tracked it, earned enough but thought I was over, didn't submit it all because I thought I had it in the bag and I wanted sales for June--missed it by $300--so even though I sold enough I didn't earn it technically--I said never again and now I track it myself. So I am watching it really carefully. I am close but it looks like I'm there--I have only $300 left to earn it and have 1 show left for Sunday with 16 confirmed and already $250 in outside orders + a catalog show closing on Saturday, so it looks like I have it! Yay!!!

Just wanted to update....WE MADE IT!!!!! But shhhh, I haven't told my team yet b/c I don't want anyone to hold shows over and then find out we missed it by $1 or something crazy! So I'm waiting to tell them until later on this week.

I can't believe it! 12 years with TPC and I've made Personal Sales 8 times...this is the first time I've earned it in two catergories! Just goes to show, it's never too late and the only way to fail is to quit!!
