Does anyone know the answer to this ? - would love drop it during interviews.
 
pt here, but interested too
 
I believe I heard this statistic a year or so ago. Almost 50%??? Anyone else know?:confused:
 
I would also like to know the % of consultants who work FT and are AT and ABOVE the Director Level? Is it achieveable having a FT job?
 
I work full time in a very demanding job, its extremely stressful, and the last 3 months of the year are our most crutial. I'm also a full time "mommy" to my BFs son, and a part time "mommy" to his daughter. With the exception of right now and my BF being laid off, when he is working, he could be working up to 80 hours a week. It doesn't leave me much time for me. I think thats part of the reason I choose PC. I am not able to go get a part time job to help out with bills and such because of the kids. With him working so much, someone has to be home with them. We do have a lot of family thats very supportive though.
 
I asked the home office once how many directors work full time. They said they didn't keep those statistics. I work full time and have been a with PC since July 04 and a director since Jan 06.
 
I know my ED has said that very few of her downline actually work PC full-time!
I remember her saying at least 50% of her consultants also hold FT jobs.
I have found it to be quite true.
 
maybe some computer savy person could do a chef success survey on this. i would be interested in results.
 
I work full-time as a teacher while I've been a consultant for the last 4 years.

I thought the answer was given in one of the online classes - but cannot remember which one? Am too busy/lazy to do them a 2nd time. ;)
 
I work full time at a Credit Union, plus cordinator for the concession at my son's school for the athletic boosters, and Ive been doing Pampered Chef for 5 years. I may have my first sign on yet this year. Wish me luck

Just read the Sharing The Opportunity Onlione Class again.

They state: 47% of new PC Consulatnts work full time.
 
How many parties a month qualify a person as working full time?
 
Well then at this point I am part time. I am striving to be full time. :O)
 
When they say 47% of new consultants work full time do they mean with PC or do they mean they have another full time job? I can't see brand new consultants only doing PC..
