Uncovering the Top Benefits of Becoming a Director

[jenniferp417]

Hm. Until now, my goals had NOT included promoting. Not any time soon anyway.I think I need to rethink that.

 

[Cindycooks]

My goals weren't to promote my first 6 months or so either Jenn! I was clueless...then I started figuring it all out and really saw the BIG Picture at conference! It's awesome!

 

[BethCooks4U]

I remembered about the "no more Directors Dinner Event" after I posted....bummer. It was awesome last year...BUT I am sure the breakfast will be fabulous!
You know what I loved? The way they made each and everyone of us feel special backstage as we waited to take our walk. We all got a rose - we all got cheered on by everyone from HO back stage. So special!

I believe it is a lunch not a breakfast!

PLEASE Cheffers...when you receive the rose and walk out on stage and they call your name....DO NOT wave the rose in the air!! Alot of those roses break off and you are stuck waving a stem with dangling bud! While it is hysterical to watch the expressions on their face....I'm sure it is extremely embarrassing to the new director

Also...NO sleeveless tops if you have "wings".

I have heard it is not good to promote when you only have 5 recruits..that you should wait until you have at leaat 2 more...in case someone goes inactive, then you don't have to worry about your diectorship being taken away...How do you all feel about this?

I've heard that too - but my director has assured me that it is harder to make director than it is to stay a director....you have lots of wiggle room before you lose your directorship, and if you continue to recruit, you won't have to worry about losing your directorship.

That's great to know. I am signing number 5 tomorrow and hopefully #6 on Friday!!! I have about 5 others in the "wings"

This is so funny! I'll remember!

DH and I were talking about a gym membership today......hmmm.....

 

[PampMomof3]

Too funny Deb! Get those arms in shape! I already started looking for a dress that I'm going to wear! I guess I plan on promoting, huh?

 

[DebbieJ]

What about the red number you're wearing in your avatar?

Perhaps we'll be dress shopping in San Fran!

 

[MissChef]

one thing I remember from when I was a director was that I got called on my birthday! Usually from my regional sales manager and one time from Jan Cap-i-something!!! Sorry I don't know how to spell her name or if she's even with the company anymore!
I love the little gifts you get thoughout the year for any and all special little reasons. You also are the first to hear "breaking news"! You also get your consultant news before the rest of the consultants do. I miss that! The company really honors their directors and it really shows! When you make it to upper level directorship it's even better!
I also like reduced points needed to qualify for a trip! ! Oh, I can't wait to be a director again! I am so excited that my youngest is finally in full time school and that our life has finally straightened out here, cause I am again striving hard and getting more and more excited about my business every day!
But my favorite thing of all was free products and it's the thing I want to cry about every 6 months when I dont' earn ALL of the products!
Another thing I loved was when you got your new products you got your changeover kit at the same time, you didn't have to wait a few more days! And you got everything in it too, you didn't have to wait for your "first" supply order to get the rest of it!
I will be a director by the end of the year and I will keep working to just go higher from there!

 

[PampMomof3]

You go Miss Chef!! I love that attitude!!

Hey Deb, seriously, do you think we'll have enough time to do it? I'll tell my dh that Deb and I have to go shopping for a dress for our next trip away!!!

I've heard that too - but my director has assured me that it is harder to make director than it is to stay a director....you have lots of wiggle room before you lose your directorship, and if you continue to recruit, you won't have to worry about losing your directorship.

Promote as soon as you are offered it! And keep "asking"!!

If you would happen to go into "relinquishment" PC gives new directors NINE months before they lose their directorship. New directors cannot go lose their directorship the first 3 months. After that if they do not meet the 3 requirements ($350 personal sales, $4000 team sales including personal sales and 5 qualified recruits) they go into a 3 month relinquishment cycle. After that if they still do not meet all 3 requirements they have 3 more months to get back before they lose it for good. If for one month you DO meet the requirements you start all over. It is hard to lose it!!

BUT! If you go inactive (less than $200 in commissionable sales) you immediately lose directorship no matter what month it is.

I have a new qulifyed person but she was on the SS program her 1st month twas Feb and she qulifyed by feb 28th what do I get I am racking my brain and I can't remember is it still 50.00 in PC money

It is but they will not be sending it as you earn it. It is banked and then when you promote you'll get the $250 all at once (unless you already got some of it before the program changed).

 

[chef131doreen]

I have gotten the 50.00 pc money in the past , and it has reached the 250. I will not get any thing untill I promote to director is that right

 

[BethCooks4U]

That is correct. $250 is the max. (first 5 recruits that qualify)

 

[DebbieJ]

The banking of the $50 PC dollars is a new policy that took effect this spring.

 

[cmdtrgd]

I have another benefit that doesn't come in the paperwork or handbook....my downline look at me with respect. In fact, my hottest consultant who is just about a director and outsells me every month calls me her director in a funny voice (a good one) and refers her difficult recruits to me - she trusts me implicitly!

 

[Cindycooks]

I remembered another! A Christmas gift from Doris Christopher herownself! Last year it was a little trinket box shaped like the UPS boxes that the products come in. I sat mine in my Christmas tree. Year before I think it was an ornament. Comes packaged really nice with a card from Doris!

2006 - shipping box hinged ornament
2005 - Doris' book hinged ornament
2004 - heritage House hinged ornament

 

[AJPratt]

That sounds like a really nice added touch.

Little piece of Pampered Chef trivia....Doris collects those kind of hinged boxes. They have a name but I forget it. The NED's gave her one one year as a gift at conference. They talked about it then how she collected them.

 

[DebbieJ]

Limoges, I think.

 

[PampMomof3]

My 5th signed on Friday but my 1st when inactive! Ugh! I'm so ready for this!!

 

[dannyzmom]

My 5th signed on Friday but my 1st when inactive! Ugh! I'm so ready for this!!

Just keep recruiting Kristi - you can do it!

 

[DebbieJ]

Kristi,

I signed my 9th today. I have two inactive and two active but quitting. It's so close!

I know I just have to keep at it, too, and it WILL pay off!

 

[AJPratt]

I don't know if I shared my "stats". I have four, two are qualified, one is on his way to qualifying. Two are inactive and one is quitting. LOL I had to break it out below, so I would understand. I do have a May recruit coming on. She's just waiting to have her second child.

#1 (inactive, but just temp.)
#2 (inactive never qualified)
#3 (qualified, but quitting)
#4 (on his way to qualifying)

I have a question for current directors: when you get show leads from HO, do you help out your team or do you do them? Just curious what everyone does.

 

[PampMomof3]

I am Carolyn! Thanks! I am hoping to sign #6 today. That'll be 4 recruits in one month!

Deb, Geez, that's fantastic!!! Great Job!!! You are on such a roll!
