Uncovering the Top Benefits of Becoming a Director

[gilliandanielle]

You go girl!!! You're a director and haven't even reached your $15k? That's great!

I got close after 9 months in business, but then I had my son and lost everything when I went inactive for 6 months. I reactivated when I found this site, started recruiting and am now here! I only do around one show a month so it adds up so slowly, but now that I have 8 shows this month I hope to excell from here on out!

 

[PCGINA]

Keep the momentum going Gillian!!! We will have to move out of the way when you take the STAGE by storm

HOW EXCITING!!! Now - get on the phone and get that $1300.00 in sales - I know you can do it.... you HAVE 15 days left in the month!!! <<<<<WOW>>>>

 

[gilliandanielle]

Thanks Gina! I have 3 more shows this month so I am hopeful that I will hit it without adding anything else. I have a show tomorrow, the 24th and the 29th so I really won't know until the last minute whether I got it or not!

I will have to walk at leadership also because I won't be making it to conference...

 

[baychef]

Congratulations, Gillian! I hope to be at leadership and I will be cheering you on! You will have your hands full with a new baby, but I think I would love to be a recruit of yours and receive training while holding a newborn!! I saw your tummy on another thread and you are so adorable!!! All tummy. I am and still am (after 17 years) all tubby!!!! I think I have to stop blaming my son after that long, though!!

LOL! My newest recruit is a really good friend of mine and I am sure she is going to come to my cluster meetings just to hold the baby! I am all tummy and hope to get back to normal quickly after the baby... I am that lady that people come up to me after I have a baby and say "I hate you!".

I had the baby blues last time and people would come up to me and tell me that they hated me daily. It was really hard with my hormones even though they were joking. I actually remember wishing I wouldn't go back to normal as quickly so people would quit telling me they hated me ALL day!

I don't know how I am going to NOT lose weight chasing after two toddlers and carrying a newborn all the time!

That is awful. We have no control over stuff like this. And I can't imagine hating someone because there body goes back to normal quickly. I hope you don't get the blues this time around. Remember we are hear to cheer you up and rant against the stupid people.

I thought the words "I hate you" but it's not your fault God designed your body the right way and slept through the part about putting in a metabolism in me that keeps up with my appetite!! Or gave me the desire to want to exercise!! I was born early on a Sat. morning so maybe she/he was still out partying when that part was supposed to go into my system!!!

The hormones play such rotten tricks on us. I know I had a old fart lady visit me that looked around my house and said...Oh, must be you've been holding the baby a lot. Come to find out...she had a cleaning lady her entire life!!! I nearly bit my tongue off!!!

Pregnant women and new Moms are beautiful...no matter how rotten and tired they may feel. When people compliment them on their beautiful new baby, that radiant smile peeks through even the most sleep deprived parent!

 

[gilliandanielle]

Hormones are definetly an adventure!! I would have smacked her- even if she was elderly!! I have pics of when my son was a newborn and you can see the mess in the background of each one. It sucks when I look back, but there is only so much you can get done when sleep deprived and taking care of a newborn!

I am so excited that the baby is going to be born in the summer when I can take my kids outside more and hopefully keep my house cleaner, LOL!

Bact to Benefits of Directors.....Sorry to "un-hijack" - but I just found the neatest download on CC! Under downloads - there are ones that have a big blue D beside them that are for directors only.....well, you can still access them! I just downloaded the Directors Policies - answers every question we have about promoting to director and benefits of directorship! Check it out!

 

[gilliandanielle]

Maybe that is where I read all that stuff before, LOL! I knew I read it on CC, but couldn't find it in the Policies & Procedures...

Thanks Becky!

Thanks Becky!

You're welcome.....and now back to our regularly scheduled hi-jack!

 

[gilliandanielle]

I can't believed you interrupted a hijack with relevant information!!

 

[Chef_2_Four]

So am I crazy for reading that info about Director policy, and all about that great stuff, and I still don't want it. Well at least not right now. I want to be a future director and that's about it!

No, you're not crazy! I personally like my full-time job and would be absolutely nuts to jeopardize it in any way, shape or form. I will be happy being a consultant for awhile.

 

[Chef_2_Four]

Ok! just checking!!

 

[jenniferp417]

Isn't that the real beauty of our organization? We can choose to do with our businesses as we wish. You two can be consultants and there's no forced promotion, or getting stuck as a consultant forever just because you don't want to promote now.I love it!

 

[lisacb77]

Me too y'all...right now I don't have the time to devote so I'm happy to be a consultant and get those perks for now!

 

[chefkristin]

Ah the pleasure of working a full time job. I wish I could make PC my full time and become a director but I can't do it right now. I need the health benefits.

 

[Paige Dixon]

Yes. It does not include any CD or DVD's you buy or courses like that nor does it include anything PC would sponsor but it would pay for a class or a speaker that you would go to.

My cluster did a tele-class with someone once and it was $60 each. That WAS covered.

NOTE:: The $100 for classes is once per year.

Actually, I had Belinda's CD program reimbursed last year.
It could also be a cooking class, a computer class, public speaking, leadership workshop, Spanish class...

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

Actually, these aren't ornaments, they are limoge boxes. They are EXTREMELY expensive in the stores (I think they're supposed to be used for little mints in the powder room), but it's really cool because they are special to us as they relate to PC.

 

[Paige Dixon]

Gillian, you have a few months before you even can go into relinquishment. I believe it is 3 and then you have 3 more month before you would loose anything. I think the important thing is that your team is also meeting the sales requirement ($4000 a month, including you). That is the one that you could have trouble with after the baby is born if you are the one that is usually doing most of the numbers for your team.

Unless you have a director in your downline. If you are in relinquishment more than the initial 3 months, you'll lose any directors in your downline for good. The rest of your team you can recover in the following 3 months.

 

[gilliandanielle]

Thanks for clearing these things up Paige!

I ordered a CD program this year and they denied it. Maybe they changed the rules? It was definitely business training related.

Gillian ~ you can FAX your Director Agreement and send in the hard copy ~ that's what was suggested to me...worked great!

ANOTHER Director perk ~ I LOVED this one...I promoted Oct 1, 2006 and because I sold the $1250 for the 3 qualifying months for Directors to earn FALL products...they BACK DATE this and you get them all!!!

I think the BEST perk ~ is SHARING THE BIZ WITH EVERYONE ~ YOU NEVER KNOW WHO NEEDS THAT EXTRA $$$, NEW FRIENDSHIPS, A NIGHT OUT, ETC.

Someone else said that I could fax it, but there wasn't a number on the agreement- do I just find the fax number for career solutions? I think that is what the envelope to mail it in said...

 

[DebbieJ]

The fax number is 630-261-8586.

At least that's what it said in my letter.

 

[gilliandanielle]

Where in the letter? I guess I didn't get a letter, just the agreement and the fast track flyer... was there supposed to be a personalized letter too?

 

[DebbieJ]

Mine had a letter, the two parts of the agreement, and a Fast Track Flyer.

Sounds like they're really slacking on these agreements.

 

[gilliandanielle]

Maybe I just didn't even read the letter- let me go check...

 

[gilliandanielle]

I have the agreement (the page where you sign the back), the attachment with the overrides, etc, tha fast track flyer, and Frequently Asked Questions sheet. No letter, no fax number... anyhting else important in this letter I should know about??
