Hey all. Can someone tell me what the time period is to earn the trip? Is it from Jan-Dec or from March-Feb. I couldn't remember if it started with the new year or the new Spring catalog. Sorry, it's been awhile and my brain isn't working correctly. I was actually thinking of hanging up the towel until I saw what the trip was.
 
The earning period runs from Jan 1 to Dec 31 2009. Good luck!!

Great! I have a catalog show this month!

I will have to have an open house or something to jump back into it.

By the way, my avitar is of my son and step-daughter when we went to Disney last February. It was awesome!! It helps you reach your goal when you know how awesome the trip is that you are working for!!

Thanks so much for the quick reply!
 
No problem! You can make it. Just remember that 8 will make you great. Plan on having 8 shows a month either all cooking shows, 4 catty/4 cooking, or any combination of parties and you will be sure to earn the trip. Don't forget about the recruiting part of the earning.
 
I wish that the recruiting part wasn't a requirement because that is the part I am having the most difficulty with. I just started in December and have not had problems yet getting cooking shows, but still do not have even 1 recruit! The 52,000 points seems daunting but the 4 recruits is the part that makes me question if I will be able to go!
 
You've got quite a few months to work on it!! Don't give up. Just think about how excited you were when you signed up. Also, think about how much the extra money can help out someone's family. You are just offering ketchup!!

Is level 2 52,000 points? How many recruits? We haven't had double points month yet have we? For some reason I was thinking it was usually in Jan or Feb. Sorry, I haven't been paying much attention. Like I said, I was thinking of quitting. I can't any paperwork on the trip. Maybe I was inactive when they sent it.
 
Double points month was in January. Mine was a complete bust. I had a lot of family issues and was traveling and unable to book shows during January, but I am still planning to go to Disney!

I just had a recruit info night and 2 people are signing!!! (My first two recruits, I am super excited!!) You can do it!!

What did you do, contact those who had marked "maybe" on the info slips? I'm trying to be proactive about this because I WANT Level 3. Which means I have got to have 6 recruits. I've been a consultant for 3 yrs and have not even come close to recruiting so just trying to get some ideas since I have a show next week (my first in three months), and I'm doing a show the day after (sent out over 200 invites).
 
The incentive information is all on CC -- look there for details.
I am close to signing #3 and #4 this month -- My goal is to have my 6 recruited my July 1st, then adding on as many as possible after that. I have just been talking and talking and asking and asking -- it's getting easier and easier to just ask. Recruiting is the easy way to make the trip points!! And you are helping so many other people!
