I've been there too - and the harder you try to explain yourself - the more botched it seems to get! It's good to have someone else come along side and understand (and diffuse!). I just wanted you to know I appreciated your words.

I know what you mean! At a show last month I told everyone they could say how they knew the host if they wanted to & my host took it to mean that some people would be embarrassed to say how they knew her. I meant that if they were shy & just wanted to say their name, it would be ok. The more I tried to correct it, the worse it got! Not too bad though--she did book again off her show!

Did they meet her in adult book store or something? Why would people be embarrassed? Some people are just goofy.

I have had this problem, too in ther past. I figure, you know her well enough to come to her house, eat her food and order from her, can't you tell us how you know her??? Well...I solved that problem...

I have a rookie question. I haven't beenw ith TPC for a whol year yet, and failed to earn quite enough to earn any incentives last year--do the points that I DID earn just disappear? Or can they be rolled over to this year, or used for something else?? It's probably written somewhere, but I haven't seen it yet.

Thanks
 
Sorry. All the points you earned in 2006 are gone. Points begin Jan. 1 and go through Dec. 31st. No rollover. :(

London is my goal! 76,000!:eek:
Has anyone won the Level 3 trip before?
My husband is just baffled over it, he thinks there is no way I can make it.
I just wanna work hard enough to prove him wrong:mad:
 
My Director Pampered Becky- made level 3 for Atlantis and I know it is possible, you just have to have alot of shows and recruiting helps a ton!

Yeah, I do like the business supplies, but my incentive for shooting for TPC has always been the perks at the trips. I have to admit that I'm a jewerly snob, so the PC jewerly just isn't my bag.

The TPC ring has been redesigned and it is GORGEOUS!!!!!!

I am going to strive for TPC in recruiting for this year--2 signed, 1 qualified, need to recruit and qualify 13 by May 31st. Think it can be done?!?!?!?
 
For the London trip, the brochure says you actually leave the day before, so it's not as short as you think.
 
Only 50% of your points can come from online orders. Remember all bruhaha over online ads last year?

Recruiting points are UNLIMITED!!!!

To clarify - online orders are direct orders not orders placed online as part of a show.
 
Couldn't have said it better!!

I am VERY excited about the trips.
I have been to DC and have always wanted to take my kids there as it is SUCH an educational vacation and we are a ver ypatriotic family so I think this will just reinforce for my kids why we are SO lucky to live in America. I am THRILLED that the special dinner event is at the Air & Space Museum - what a treat!!! And having traveled with PC - I know this will be TOP NOTCH.

The cruise -- on cruises they always have a special events JUST for the TPC earners - and again, TOP NOTCH everything for achievers. We got a huge balcony room last year on the cruise with Pampered Chef. I have cruised both WITH pampered chef and without PC and I'll tell ya - cruising with PC is the way to go!!

London I think is another amazing opportunity. I know from my sister-consultants that Vienna last year was incredible and it was only, I believe, 5 or 6 days...much like London. The tours they are offering and the events they have planned sound spectacular.

The bottom line for me is this -- I could NEVER afford to take these trips on our own...and Doris is offfering to send us on these trips and to pay our way. I won't look a gift horse in the mouth - I am so excited!!!

I"ve been to D.C too, finally went when Party Lite had their convention and knew I was getting out of PL so went sight seeing most of the meetings instead!!!

I'm always up for a trip, free is even better when it's thru something like PC; unfortunately where I work my regular job may have a very difficult time getting off, but I would never put down anything my PC group has set up for us !!!

Just my 2 cents worth!

Do I get the recruiting points if they qualify before going inactive, but go inactive before the end of the year? I have a few SS's that aren't going to make it (I know that sounds negative but I am ready to bless and release once I squeeze the points out of them!) and I can get them to qualify, but actually stick with PC isn't looking so good!
 
As long as they qualify before going inactive, you get 2000 points.
 
What are the different TPC categories? I think I understood from a previous post that for recruiting you need 15 qualified--why by May? I thought it was by Nationals in July. Does the person I recruited in Nov count towards this or do I need to start over?
Thanks

I'm with Lacy on this one - I am so pumped to win a trip with PC that I really didn't care where it was!! I was mentally aiming for Level 3 (without even knowing) but now I want Level 2!! I shared it with my Hubby and he's tickled too. He has always been supportive, but now he wants to win the trip! I think we will AIM for London (a DREAM), but when I hit the cruise be thrilled!! I actually thought Level 2 was really nice compared to last years.

OK... I never really paid attention to this before because I didn't think I could do it. I recruited someone in June of 2006. She did 2 shows and went inactive. She is ready to get started again. If she does the 2 more and qualifies, will she count for TPC? I know I lost the 2000 points for the trip, but what about TPC?
 
I don't think she counts...the full rules for TPC are up on CC because it runs through May...
 
Okay I was excited about the cruise but a little disappointed when they announced level 3 & 4, Then reexcited when they announced anyone could earn level 4.
However a free trip is a free trip & if I earn a trip I am going on it and will make the best of it. When we earn level 3 we will go to London, notice I said when positive thinking....I am in love w/ the new TPC ring, that was just what I wanted, for me the other ring was just not me.While sitting in the airport yesterday waiting for my delayed flight I started figuring the #'s I need and how many shows a month to make level 4, & how many recruits I need. Aim high, knowing there is a possibility you won't get it. I would be perfectly happy w/ the cruise. Can't wait to see where my biz goes this year!

Nevermind! I just read the rules. If they go inactive, they do not count. Oh well!
 
Anne, she can still help you get directorship!
 
Shw can help get directorship- which is another 3000 points!!

PC is very good about letting you add on to the beginning or end or maybe even both beginning and end of the trips we earn. You could earn the trip and then add on to see your family. Do you need help figuring a plan to earn Level 3 or 4?
Can you earn one level but, take a loweer level if that's what you want?
I of course wnat the top level but we are all Supposed to Dream HUGE:D
Love your plan though it sure makes any level easier to realize. Hopefully 2007 will be the year that I earn my First PC Pampering Trip:D

Yep! You can take the level 2 trip if you would rather do the cruise than Washington DC (which is a trip for 4) or London.
 
Level 4 +TPC London...Here I come!!!

I was so thrilled about the trip announcement that everyone at every level can earn the top trip! :D We are already making plans to go to Paris as well!! YIPEEE!!!:D One of my good friends (Duska Mills, for those of you at Leadership, she is the one that got special recognition on stage for being the only person in PC history to totally skip Advanced Director...she was a Director December 1 and a Senior Director January 1) earned Level 3 Atlantis TWICE with her points but wasn't eligible for Level 4...so we were glad to hear that we could both earn Level 4 this year!!!:D

It was great meeting the few Cheffers I did. I didn't see many buttons...thought I would see more!
 
Earned Level 3 two times so far...

It is definately possible!!! I earned Level 3 to go to Vienna and Atlantis. It comes down to working a consistent business and sharing the opportunity!!

I earned Vienna even having my son April 19 (C-section) during the earning period!! That's right, I had a baby and still earned the Premier Level Trip! And I am excited to be going to Atlantis this year. I earned 89,000 points this year so I am definately aiming for Level 4 for London!!! I also plan to earn the trip as Advanced Director instead of Director!!!

Another secret...psssttt...:D :D :rolleyes: :D :D .PACK FEBRUARY as full as you can get it!!! If you have a $10,000 month, that is 20,000 points in 1 month!! Allow for cancellations as well!! I always book 13-15 shows in February. The past two years I have had from $8000-$9000 months and that sets you up to earn a trip! Remember that for every qualified recruit you get 2000 points and you also get 3000 points for promoting to Director or promoting Directors!!
 
add on!!
SillyChef said:
Can you add your own days to it and stuff like that? Or is it a Take it or Leave it kinda deal?
Sorry this is my 3rd post in a row...but I keep seeing questions I have to answer!!

You can definatly add your own days on...PC will fly you in up to a week before the start of the trip or up to a week after!!! We have already decided we will be hitting Paris as well as London!!!:D :D
