None of my team has even gotten the little Wahoo Recruiting Club gifts yet much less an end of the year thing.

Want me to send you the pack of gum wrapped in a white cardboard with WAHOO on it? I almost sent it back and said...save the postage and the cost of this...just tack it onto my commission check. I liked the post cards better. They gave me a chuckle at least!!

Sign me Miss Ungrateful!!!:(

Pack of gum? Was that the November gift? Seriously? ...and I complained about the smiley pen.

A consultant has already spilled the beans that her Director called & a big announcement will be made today. Some are getting upset that they are being teased before the announcement. :(

Luckily no one has posted WHAT it's about yet.

It's unbelieveable the way they're complaining about "being teased". Ugg. You would think they'd be brainstorming like we all did for the week before we had our call.

...and then someone started a thread about guessing the trip destination. I'm surprised they aren't complaining about that too - after all someone knows.

Maybe you should go in that thread and suggest that you know where the trip is....that would really get under some skin!! It would be fun to watch the fireworks fly then!!

Funny enough, most are for places we've been recently. DC, Miami, cruise...no one has suggested anything new.

No one knows me over there except one of my TL's who knows my humor....maybe I'll start a rumor that I heard from a credible source that we're going somewhere we've never been and that I'll get fired if I tell more. That should get them going!!:devil: Some people just beg to be messed with!
 
I never even got my october gift. Most of my team got theirs. I am ok with it. I do know something about the trip. Not where it is but about requirements. Kathy thought they told everyone. I don't think they did.

You know you guys are probably going to have to give me the scoop for my meeting, right? I doubt seriously that I'll have the DVD in time to do a meeting here! :(

LOVE it!!! They are about to combust over there regarding who has and hasn't gotten the Career Plan Change email. I might get lost in the shuffle. Maybe wait until this dies down in 24 and then stir, stir, stir it up again.

My mom always said I should work for Maytag...b/c as a girl, I liked to agitate people.

I think i love you
 
I love my smiley pen! I think it is cute. Gum, I like gum so I chewed it. I don't have a mouse so I didn't need it, so it went in my business basket for my team. So what do you want them to do instead? I like that they are recognizing those that recruit and not just those with recruits that qualify. It should be about recognizing the effort. That is what I am trying to do with my team.
 
I got the gum and i recruited 2 people over the weekend. :) What is the December gift? Do we get one for each recruit?
 
Great. I recruited 3 in Nov, but due to a jaw injury, I can't chew gum! LOL
 
It's the moment, not the memento.... :D

That is evil.


I just drove through roads that were covered with a foot of lake-effect snow (seriously - I was two-tracking down main roads) to get to and from a show. :yuck:
It's only December 6th.

But hey - at least it's qualified as a show (4 guests, $160 in sales so far...and a booking for JANUARY 6!!!)
 
But I like Detroit...I know someone there I would love to visit with!! How about Fargo, ND in February...just in case they have a January thaw?

We have several small towns & cities here in NY that are named after diffferent countries...Antwerp, Greece, Poland, etc. They all would be delightful destinations!!
 
Paris, Texas has what? One red light???
