What makes the first NC experience so incredible?

[KellyTheChef]

No, but I have been in Wave 3 the last 4 years...so I just kinda figured it would be the same.

Ahhh...

If it helps, my cluster was Wave one in 2004, Wave three the next THREE years, and then Wave one this year.

I think they try and rotate things to be fair, but then if the NED's have a conflict, they will adjust so that they don't miss it. They NEED to be there for their downlines!

 

[wadesgirl]

I was in 1 last year and 3 this year. I hope to never be in three again. It's so hard!

Becky - Which Banquet did you attend? I was at HO Direct Banquet and I agree, the meal was good, but dessert was not good at all. I would have preferred anything CHOCOLATE!!!!!

Becky attended Yvonne Mattson's banquet. I was there, too, along with Janetupnorth.

Conference was GREAT!!! Except for MESSED up accounting system at Palmer House!!! Just as a warning be sure to watch using a bank debit card to charge the room. My account is still #%@###!! Hoping it will be straightened out by tomorrow.

 

[dannyzmom]

National Conference was GREAT!! I feel like we were going and going and going (not that that is a bad thing, but it felt a little busier than normal). The three days went by entirely too fast!!! I have to say I got so much out of most of my classes. Gratitude Recruiting and First Class Coaching were my favorite. I bought Pat Pearson's book, Stop Self Sabatoge and can't wait to read it. I was in the same VERY VERY HOT class Carolyn was in and also left. That one was pretty disappointing. I ended up in a P3 class and learned a lot (I've been using it since it came out, but was really happy with all of the info that was shared). I'm so excited about all of the promotions. I'm psyched and ready to get on the phone tomorrow!!

Hey Jennifer!!!
How was your friend feeling after you guys left the sauna class?
I wold love to get your notes from the P3 class if you don't mind!!

 

[KellyTheChef]

I LOVED this conference! I needed it more than ever! I felt revitalized and energized about my business. However this year, instead of other years I have actually been motivated and determined to set goals that work for me! I was in that phone courage with you JAE, I sat up front and was the last helper to read the script. I heard our class was way better than others! Actually I got a lot out of all my classes this year. One of my friends said it was like a needed a V8 bop on my head, as I just sort of had all of these Aha! moments throughout it. And I won $100 PC dollars for business supplies, so that was really exctied - another bop on the head for all the signs telling me I am ready and need more PC back in my life.

Alison!

I haven't seen you around in AGES!! I have missed you!

YES, YES!!

Could she post this info since it wouldn't have any spoilers?

If not...pass along the info to me too!! I don't use P3 for anything but the bare bones right now...

That's true, Kelly - I actually had a conversation about this with my ED. They have their Exec. Conference in the fall (Oct?) and that's when Home Office makes the scheduling suggestions to the Execs (EDs, SEDs and NEDs). At that time, they are allowed to change their wave based on personal conflicts, and then by about December it gets set in stone and announced to us. So, we won't know for sure what our wave is until next year. And, you could have an upper level director in your upline who promotes to ED before conference, and then you'll be in HER wave. So, don't assume you'll be in the same one every year. You just never know.

I'm exhausted but exhilirated after my first NC. It was all I was led to expect and MORE! Without revealing anything, here's what I loved about NC:

• Workshops contained original material, not just a reshash of PC training
• General sessions were fast-moving and fun!
• New product and incentive reveals with Marla and Jean were so funny!
• People at many different levels achieved, not just senior directors and people with 10+ years experience

I am reinspired to sell, book, and most of all, recruit!

I totally Agree!!!!!!! Ohh so pumped!

conference was wonderful even though I was soooooo sick on Friday...not sure if it was a combination of sinus infection, the air plane ride, and then maybe staying on the 20th floor (with fast moving elevators. I had vertigo or something really bad...was worse than morning sickness I had for 6 months when pregnant with twins.
Only tip I'd give is if you see something you really want at Merrill buy it the first day you are there...stuff goes really quick and they didn't have enough inventory for us.

I hate elevators, especially on upper floors. My roommates thought I was nuts last year that I had to have room in the elevator and not have people crowd around me! I forgot all about that!

 

[Intrepid_Chef]

Yeah ... I bought a shirt at Merrill that was 2 sizes larger than the largest size I've ever worn in my life ... it's big, but just a size big. I snapped it up b/c it would not have been there the next day!

I bought a medium sparkle shirt and a small pink cable knit sweater last year. I usually buy medium in women's and large in juniors so I was shocked to see a small fit me!

I totally agree!! I waited until the 2nd day to go to the Merrill Store because I didn't want to stand in that HUGE line on the first day and I am sorry I did, because they were really picked over. If you buy any shirts/jackets, be sure to try them on first as the sizes are all over the board. Depending on the style, I wore anything between a Large and 2X. They have a new short sleeve red shirt with a silver logo that I thought was really cute, but that was one of the first ones to go.

Re: New ProductsI am attending Wave 3 NC. I was wondering if you can just post what you think of the new product line. Is it really good? I don't need to know details. I earned the 6,000 pkg, and I am hoping it was worth the effort.:thumbup::thumbdown:

 

[Intrepid_Chef]

I give it a thumbs up ... there is a little thing I've been asking for since I joined!

OMG - it was SO worth the effort - SO SO SO TOTALLY worth the effort!!
And did you check your PC $'s account? They deposited the sell-a-thon $$ this week!!

Also - I don't think anyone will be disappointed with the level they earned. I thought all of them were generous and thoughtful. I earned the $3000 level and was THRILLED with what I earned. But I know people who earned the 2 show level were also thrilled ~ PC goes above and beyond our expectations once again.:love:

I earned level 3 also and cannot wait to find out what I get!

Re: New Products

Almost everything I wanted was in that level.....I was so excited. For those of you who are going - the list is in the New Products Room....and the New Products Room is in the room to your right when you leave the Arie Crown Theatre (where the general sessions are held).

 

[Intrepid_Chef]

I am thrilled with the 2 shows level and frankly ... not too disappointed that I didn't make $1,500, just b/c I'm not too kicked in the head with the different products in that level. In other words, the products I'm most interested in, for the most part, are the ones I'm already getting!

 

[iteachurkid]

Hey Jennifer!!!
How was your friend feeling after you guys left the sauna class?
I wold love to get your notes from the P3 class if you don't mind!!

She was feeling MUCH better...it was just way to hot in there!! I'll be glad to share my notes...they have to get typed up first though It was great meeting you! Congrats again on the catalogs!

 

[dannyzmom]

Thanks !It was so great to see you, too!!
And how 'bout the look on our faces when we got to our next class and saw the presenter...AGAIN???
BAhahaha!!

 

[ChefSheryl]

Thanks for all the replies. I need to hurry up and get on that plane so I don't end up getting on the list for a spoiler e-mail. LOL! I too can't stand knowing.

I think I could write VOLUMES of reflections. Meeting some of you at MNG was so specail. Then hearing Ginger's voice as she tried to take my picture after coming off the stage as a new director and poor thing... all she got was me bawling my eyes out becasue as I came off stage I lifted my eyes toward heaven and said Thank you JESUS and I just burst into tears. I will say that I want anyone and everyone who I know to experience that feeling on stage. It truly is indescribable!!!!!! I got to grab a hug from Rae that day too and had a fun experience watching Becky as she was slowly walking by me... I called out her name and it was in a spot where my voice kind of came from several directions and she looked up and around and I teased her that she looked like she was hearing God calling her name with a female voice! It was SO funny and SO FUN! I then attended a seminar with her director! The whole conference was just so awesome I'm still processing it all! I'm just so especailly thankful to have met some of you and I'm sorry that I didn't get to speak personally with everyone at the MNG because I got there so late.

Diane - my director (Jennifer) fell in love with you being "Your new best friend" in that workshop! When you walked across stage, I was cheering so loudly for you, and so was she! She isn't a Cheffer, but after meeting so many of my cheffer friends, now she knows why I love it so much!

She wants me to send her your email so that she can send you some stuff. I figured it was okay with you.
