Top Recruiters Tell All 7/12/08 9:00 AM - 10:15 AMLooks like I'll be seeing a few of you at the workshops. I'm not planning on doing the HO tour this year. I thought I'd spend a little time wandering and resting while I have the chance. Once the workshops/sessions start, I feel like I'm sprinting for the rest of NC.
 
I hear you, Rae. I have not done the HO tour in a few years. Mainly because I feel that first timers should go and that nap time or booth time is better time spent for me. I too feel "spent" most of the conference...I get so darn cranky when I get tired!!:grumpy:
 
Thanks Janet! I'll be posting my schedule soon! I can't wait!- I started Conf Club on time and I only have $166 in it. Anyone else have this problem?

I think it's due to the fact that they've structured Conf. Club like they always have and then they opened registration earlier this year.
 
Thanks! I thought they opened it sooner but I can't remember last week let alone one year ago.;)

Hey, Fluffy, don't worry about being on your own. It's a great opportunity to ask questions of those around you. Look for those wearing Director ribbons. They often have really great ideas.

Hey Fluffy, don't listen to Rae, its not always true!! :p :p Just Kidding!!! Rae, I can't wait to see you in Chi town!!:D
 
Just wondering ... is there a reason most people aren't taking the home office tour on the last day?

It seems like the easiest way IMHO ... is there something I'm missing? Or are most of you just leaving on Saturday? We're leaving on Sunday morning.
 
Here are my workshops, Janet!

Twinkie - I did a cooking show live at my first conference and just don't feel the need to go to another - plus at our cluster meetings we have "guest PC consultants" come in and do theirs - that is my reason!!

Well, my reasoning for doing it is that I am taking workshops that will help enhance my business the most. The 2 areas where I want the most training are in recruiting (taking 2 workshops on that topic), and leading new consultants (taking that one). The past couple of years, I have been disappointed with the workshops I've taken on bookings and/or selling (a couple I actually walked out of, because of unethical ideas being given by the presenters). However, I have gotten some really good tips on how to conduct my shows by going to the Cooking Show Live workshops....maybe because I have never been to a PC show other than my own. :rolleyes:

now you've got me thinking about changing my schedule. I kept wanting to take the cooking show live class but wasn't sure. I think I'm going to go back and look at the workshops again and pick me schedule over. Honestly I can't even remember what I signed up for (I KNOW Janet has it posted). But also I think my focus has changed some too. Aghhhh! Decisions, decisions, decisions.:o :o

Don't worry, change away and repost. I'll catch the file up in a bit.
 
I'll be on the Home Office tour #2 with several of you.
