Directors, did you get your special gift and card from Doris and Marla today? I never knew we got a special gift at Christmas time too! What a surprise. And it's really cute. All the perks we get as Directors are just awesome, I don't think any other company does this!!! I LOVE my job :)
 
Yes, I got mine.:) It's cute!
 
Are you guys really going to tease us like this? :(

I like to think of it as giving you another incentive to work for and promote!! You're almost there--just keep asking. I'm amazed with how many I've recruited this year alone, I've never done that many over many years! Ask everyone and you'll love your benefits!!!!!!!
 
Man, I really want to know! :D But I definitely plan to be receiving those benefits by next Christmas! Congratulations to all of you who do recieve whatever it is! :)

Janice--that's why I didn't say what it is!!!

Kate--I have recruited 9 this year alone. 3 still need to qualify (one just signed last week-but turned in her first cat show today).

My lifetime recruits is 15--so most have been this year. I was looking at TPC (my new goal) and I need to recruit 8 more and have all of them qualify by May 31st. It should be do-able at 2 a month. Needless to say I'm asking everybody!
 
Mine didn't come yet - wahh!
 
mine either... but have been looking for it! waiting.... waiting.... waiting
 
Did it come in the mail or from the guy in the brown suit?

santa in a brown suit!!!
 
I didn't get mine yet either - hopefully today!!
 
Ahhhh! My Director told us to look for a gift from Doris, but I can't wait!

You know, promoting to Director is not "easy", but its not as hard as you'd think. I signed up in mid-January. Went to Spring Kickoff a couple weeks after that. Made a goal at Kickoff to be a Director by July 1st. Lofty goal...

Got the call on September 1st. You just have to literally ASK.
Ask your host and 3 other guests at EVERY show (do at least a show a week). You'll be asking so many people that eventually hearing "nah" is like no big thing at all. If you're zooming in on one specific person each time and trying so hard for that ONE person, you're going to be heartbroken when they tell the opportunity no. They're not saying no to you, they're the ones that are missing out... so cest la vie! "... next!" ;)

I just promoted in September, after submitting my first show in February. I am going for TPC in Recruiting...maybe Balanced Business. I dunno yet. :)

I've signed 16 so far this year (6 on the fence right now)... but only 11 have actually qualified. I have a few slackers & kit nappers. But I also have a FD and another one on her way... so it all balances out. ;)

Laura-that's just awesome!! What an inspiration you are. Who is your upline? Your name looks familiar, but maybe it's just from here. It's looking good for getting TPC in recruiting. Keep up the awesome work!!!
 
Thanks Becky! My upline is Cindy Sparling, Donna McDonald, and Chris Manion. :)
Love 'em all!
 
Oh my gosh, I just got my gift. HOW CUTE IS THAT!!!!:D :D
 
Where's mine?Haven't received mine yet...sniffle sniffle!! ;) But it take awhile for us to get things here in Wyoming!

All the benefits of Directorship are amazing! Can't wait to get TWO full sets of free products after Leadership!!!:D
 
Hey Marlene havent seen you around for awhile how are you doing?
 
Hey there!GREAT!! :D Just so busy that I have dropped in a few times to see whats going on..but never time to post!

We were just in Elko for Thanksgiving! One of these times we should try and meet! When we travel with the PC my kids stay in Spring Creek...so they will be there while we go to the Bahamas in May!!

Do you ever get up the trainings in Utah? I recently went to one in Logan with the HO and Senior Director Jennifer Stevens it was great!!:D

So hows business treating you? I hope fabulous! I am excited to be working towards upper level directorship!! My best friend in the business is going to walk as Senior Director at Leadership and she was only a Director at Nationals!!!! :eek: That's the way to do it...just skip those levels!

I hope to be more involved with Chefs Success without letting it take up too much time!

I think THIS is one of the coolest things abotu being a director. I LOVE having two of everything - I can use one for my kit and one for home...some I can use as incentives for my team, gifts for my Mom, etc...

Your gift from Doris & Marla - did it come UPS or USPS?
 
Sure, rub it in.. LOL :p
They should give us FD something too!!!:D

They do! You get overrides on yours and your downlines orders in any month you submit $1,250 (directors should be selling AT LEAST that much - not required but we SHOULD be an example to our downline, etc.) and you get $50 for the first qualified consultants and 25 free catalogs for every signed consultant until you promote.

FD is actually a new designation to recognize those on their way to director. There have only been FD's for the last few years.

All the director perks are great and they are carrots for those of you that want it! You can get there! Some do it in just a few months it takes others years, some don't want it and some never get there - it's your business to run as you wish.

Letscook04: I know you meant your post in light humor and you probably know all of this but some who read this may not... :)

I haven't received my Director gift yet and it wouldn't be fair for them to spoil the surprise for those of us who haven't received ours yet! Be patient I am sure it will be posted in a few days! :D

Yes, we do get good stuff for being FD!! That was my way of being jealous of Directors. I just can't pass the FD to Director!
Thanks for all your helpful info Beth!
