What Are the Changes to Director Benefits?

[finley1991]

The thing that worries me the most is that if you lose the director title any director under you passes you by so you could lose a big part of your team just by having 3 bad months - if I understand that part right, that is.

I believe that's the same way it is now according to the director policies so that's not a new change...

DIRECTOR REPROMOTION
The repromotion program is designed to give relinquishing Directors a head start on rebuilding their Directorship. When a Director relinquishes, any Consultants and Future Directors (both personal and nonpersonal recruits)
will remain “assigned” to the relinquished Director for three months.
• If the relinquishing Director has at least two personal active recruits, she moves to the level of Future Director. Otherwise, she moves to the level
of Consultant.
• Directors or above in the first line will pass by and be permanently assigned to the upline roll-up eligible Director. Even if repromotion occurs, these Directors or above remain permanently assigned.

Is that in the relinquishment period or the repromotion period that they pass by?

I guess I always thought that the first 3 months (relinquishment) was grace period and the next 3 months (repromotion) just required more effort on the director's part to overcome. I only had one month in 4 years that I didn't meet the requirements so I guess I didn't pay enough attention.

So I guess it's no different then it was when it comes to directors? ...but better than now because all other recruits in our downline stay with us.

Well, I don't plan on losing directorship but it's good to know the rules.

It is in the reliquishment part. Currently, if we are a director and have a director in our 1st line, if we go three months (1-3 month time frame) without meeting the current requirements, we lose the director... they automatically roll up to our upline. Even if we repromote, we will not get that director back. Hope that helps!

ray:Hope you feel better soon, my friend.ray:

I too did not use the booth or the professional development (that they approve of).

I am trying to stay positive about the changes but with reading Beth, ardipc, Nanasu and Chef Kearns posts, I was relieved to find the same thoughts running through their minds.

Some of this is changing mindsets and "the way we do it now" can pop up as negative...the fear of the unknown, so to speak. So I am trying to "check" my thinking. What thoughts are reoccurring are that there is no longer the feeling to me that "we value our directors" or that directorship is the level we boost up the perks and benefits. And how I mean this is that, to me, it looks as if directorship is now just a level to achieve and not held in any higher regard than others...not as distinct as in the past. Not sure if I am conveying my feelings correctly because it is merely an observation and not a complaint.


I will soon be celebrating my 9th anniversary with PCarty: and I still do love it, however other than income the trips just kept me wanting to do more and now they seem unattainable. (this is coming from someone who is trying to work a very full time job along with growing PC) The same feeling is with attaining TPC. Beth's conversations with her now corporate PC person just confirmed feelings about the direction PC has been headed in. I find the comments Beth's friend made to be demeaning and narrow minded. Our motto states that we are to make the best of our God given talents. We are not born with a standard set of talents but PC has given us a wonderful place to develop them.

Colleen when you stated that you could be a better director...we all could state that. I try my best, but my best is probably not the standard that PC would like. It is called striking my balance. I am changing and getting my now "Future Directors" ready for more contribution to training. So I think we if we are to continue the most successful business, we are constantly re-evaluating and adjusting our business. I doubt that even if I did do PC full time that I would not be doing my business "correctly" according to the person Beth spoke of.

As well as seeing the trips and TPC less attainable, I also see that my Career title will probably be constantly changing as well as my pay check. Not a secure feeling for me.

Also I feel we are now feeling the affects of moving from a Doris Christopher founded corporation that we are now moving into an Warren Buffet corporation. I love Warren Buffet but it does seem much more of an industry than a feel good company. I really feel like I am trying to be "sold" on a concept.

Despite all of the misgivings I have written here, the one thing I am the most hopeful for is that I am wrong! I continue to love PC and still want to grow and do my best. I have to vent sometimes so if you are still reading my long winded rant...thank you for letting vent. I do feel better and it actually helps me to get positive and get on the phone!

Ann, we are so like sisters in our thinking. I have more to post, but have to head off to a fair...catch up with you later.

I LOVE that change
I think you should have to recruit and be consistent to get leads. I know of many Director's that only get recruits through HO Leads, so this will hopefully motivate them more. Booth reimbursement was good in theory, I forget to send them in, so while I "could" use it I unfortunately didn't

Your so funny, I forgot to send my in too. I think it was allthe paper work, just didn't want to do it. I new the reimbursement was there I just never used it.
My thought is I'm making the investment and I need to work at the leads to get that money back.
I do think I 'll send in the last one I just did, just to do it.:yuck:

 

[icerneaccorie]

My basic thinking is...If I want it I need to work it. If I show weakness or fear it will take over.
Sure sometimes I worry and freak out but I remind myself of why I stayed doing the buisness after my 4 shows and the girls that joined my team. It comes down to my why, I want others to feel what I feel when I'm finished with my show or paid that bill I didn't think I could pay or send my kids off to their game that PC paid for yada yada yada..
We will get though this. Anything new is scary but once you now the program and work it you laugh at what you were afraid of in the first place.
Just my simple thoughts

Simple thoughts are the best! Although I have vented more on DS than ever before, I am "letting it out" so it does not go to my team members. And I have an AWESOME upline, but I do feel that the negative feelings need to be dealt with at times and not just glazed over. It feels kind of "Stepford Wife"ish to me at times!!!

Thanks for your postive and realistic spin on things!!

 

[icerneaccorie]

Your right Ann we all need to vent from time to time, I guess I just dont need very often, my life could be so much worse, and I know that if I need it I have all your support as you do mine.
Love you all!!! Sappy kind of morning- Sorry, back to work, if I have a job. Work for the school system in Ca. Thank goodness I still have PC.

Did you all see that the promotional expense reimbursement is going away? Effective April they don't anymore. For events Jan-Mar you have to submit by June to get reimbursement.

AND it looks like for professional development you are limited to four vendors, Skillpath, Franklin Covey, CareerTrack, and National Seminars Group. And limited to specific topics. No more cooking classes !

Tara

thanks for this info - I totally missed it!

Just registered for a class before the new changes go into effect!
