Some people mentioned they were in beta groups where they were testing this out but I haven't heard that it's happening.
 
Just got a reminder from a SED about the call... she ended her note with...

MAKE SURE you are on the call...you will be really happy you are!

I'm *hoping* someone who is on the call will come here and update. I should make the call but will be in the car driving home from my recruit interview tomorrow night and have a show Friday that ends at 1pm. I should be able to get on one or the other between the two but hate to rush things!!!!

Plus, if it's good, we'll want to come here and discuss it anyway, right? :angel:
 
I know!! Kathy sent out an email saying the same thing. She said it should open the floodgates for lots more promotions. Now I am soo intrigued!

I'm going to try and talk her into staying here tonight and listening in with me. She has the structure and sales to promote, just missed it by one person who's on vacation in the states and didn't submit in Nov. :(. Hoping she makes it for Jan 1st.

Love it, Colleen!!
 
ooooh, I"m excited! Maybe it'll have something to do with what that freebie product is for the 2 December shows!! I probably can't call in for the Thursday night one, but plan to for the Friday afternoon one. But I would love to hear the beans spilled when I come on here Thursday night after going out to a semi-networking/semi-social event that night. But if I don't go for some reason, I'm DEFINITELY calling in. I can't wait!
 
Okay - it's late, I was up late last night, and I still have laundry to do and a kitchen to clean...

and for the life of me, I cannot figure out the time difference for this call. :o

IF I'm on Eastern time, and the call is at 6:30CT - would I have to call in at 5:30, or at 7:30?


I know, I know - stupid question....I'm having some sort of mental block with it though!
 
You would call at 7:30 pm your time. :)
 
No worries Becky!7:30pm Eastern TimeAnd I just realized that I will probably make the call tomorrow night. My interview is at 5:30pm but it's an hour away so at least I can catch it in the car if need be!

hahaha I have this same problem. My sons live in Central time and I'm Eastern and I can never remember. One thing that helps lately is to recall that we used to be able to watch the tonight show when we lived in WI and now it's on too late.

My team meeting is 6:30-8:30 tomorrow and I'm thinking we'll all listen in. They are always telling me I know things before them and that I'm keeping things from them - actually I tell them most things as soon as I hear - so I thought they could get a peek at what directors hear first hand. Hopefully it'll be as exciting as this sounds and that it'll get some of them inspired. I'm thinking of billing it as "be in on the latest news by listening in on a director only call" - not saying anything about it to them until the meeting though as I haven't decided that I'll actually do this.
 
Thanks Ladies!

Actually - for some reason I had it in my mind I had to call at 5:30 - and was worried I wouldn't be able to break away then to do it. Then I got to thinking about it some more, and knew that 7:30 was right, but my mind just couldn't let go of 5:30.:rolleyes::blushing:

I'm happy that it's 7:30!
 
seriously- has ANYONE heard anything?
 
No... just a customer yelling at me about our return policy and she's pissed SHE has to send it back on her dime and she's NEVER going to order anything again. :mad:Sorry... vent over.I really can't wait for this call! I hope it's good since we're all in such anticipation!!!!!
 
Just got another reminder but no details!This better be good!!!!! :p
 
Clearly I am procrastinating today.

Update: The calls WILL NOT be recorded. (Last time they wouldn't record is when we had to do the booking blitz!!!!!)

Only other thing I got from a loop was:

I just wanted to make sure that no one talks about the calls being conducted by Home Office yesterday, today and tomorrow until tomorrow evening! I believe the last call is tomorrow afternoon.

I know there is a big announcement and we all should hear it when we are supposed to! I can't wait!

This whole time difference is messing me up! I have to leave at 3:15pm CT for my interview! That just means that good news awaits me upon my return! Just wish it wasn't a 50-minute drive there and back!!!!!!
