Anybody else waiting in anticipation for your IPT to update? I've had a few team members call me this morning about shows they submitted last night, but they're still not showing up. Seems like for us, anything after 9:30pm last night is still in limbo.......
I know I need to be patient but the suspense is killing me!!!!:cry: :cry: :cry:
 
Yes.... the show I submitted at 10pm isn't showing up. I did get the e-mail confirmation so I know I'm okay. I'm just curious if anyone on my team submitted something at the 11th hour (so to speak!)
 
Yes!! I submitted a show @10 pm as well. I did look at the shipment status and it shows received and it shows on my incentive calculator as well. BUT, I called one of my girls (miss brenda;) ) to see if it went in b/c it's not showing and she could loose her career sales if it wasn't submitted last night. She reassured me it was submitted but I still can't wait for it show updated!!!

I'm here with ya!!!
 
My 10pm submitted show isn't showing up on the IPT or Shipping Status. I'm guarding the confirmation e-mail just in case! :)
 
My 8:30 submission showed up fine this a.m.
 
Correct that, it was submitted at 7:58 p.m.Also checking shipping status to see if it shows received there at all...

this is killing me.....I want to know for sure that one of my girls qualified!!! If so I promote, if she didn't then it's another month of waiting.......
 
Mine showed up a few minutes ago on IPT and on shipping status but not in the PC dollars I just earned for it.
 
My shows that I submitted yesterday are showing up on my IPT but my recruits shows that they submitted late yesterday are not on my IPT .. .and I SHOULD be showing up as an FD ... but it still says CON by my name... I know it's a little thing but I'm looking forward to seeing it there!

It's not a little thing!! You've worked hard to grow your business and it will be even better when you "see" it!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!;) :D :D
 
Thanks! It feels kind of selfish to be longing to see it there... but I do! :)
 
Give the "Fut" until the 8th, when all the sales from Oct. are finalized at HO.
And congrats!
 
FYI at New Director's Academy ~ HO staff informed us they only update the website 1X a day at midnight. So I'm thinking since it wasn't updated last night a couple of things may be going on:
1) Tooooooo manyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy last minute end of the month shows submitted again!
2) Because of #1, HO staff wasn't able to run credit/debit cards through on all the shows submitted, therefore, IPT not updated
3) I'm if California...so if we submit at 9:59 PM (not me!) that's 11:59 PM HO time...no one working at that time to sun credit/debit cards through, so not showing up on IPT.

Sorry guys ~ you'll have to wait until tonight's update. Should show up unless you have a declined credit/debit card...

Anticipation ~ is it killing ya? :eek: :eek: :cry: :cry: :grumpy: :grumpy: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :yuck: :yuck:
