What was your favorite part of Conference? Share your testimonial with us!

[soccermama]

OK.... I feel so dumb asking this, but I'm just really exhausted right now and I can't think anymore!

I'm supposed to give a testimonial at our TEAM Meeting tomorrow night, about my experiences at Conference. But I'm drawing a blank on what to talk about. So I'm thinking maybe what I need is to be asked questions, and I can answer them as my testimonial.

So, PLEASE..... put on your thinking caps as if you didn't go to conference, or have never been to conference, and tell me what you'd want me to tell you about my experience! THANKS!!!

What made conference worth the $$ you spent to go?

 

[pamperedlinda]

Answer these questions:

What was an eye-opening experience or what did you see/hear/learn/experience that you didn't expect?
What was your favorite moment?
Why would you never want to miss another conference?
How will you run your business differently as a result of conference?
What are yor goals now that you have attended conference?

What made you see the "Big Picture"??

 

[soccermama]

I think this is where I'm having issues.... I didn't have any "AH HA" moment, light bulb moment, "seeing the big picture", etc..... I really just had fun, and I'll go back, simply because I thought Chicago was a beautiful city!!!! lol

I wanted to come away with something that would make my business sooooo much better, but at this point, all I've got is that I'm excited about the new products, and I had fun!

What kind of director am I going to make, if I can't even tell people what my lightbulb moment is?!?!?

Rememer the 5 W's of reporting:Who

One thing I realized at my first conference last year was that there are SO many people who become directors & earn TPC. I always thought it was an elite group, but seeing person after person walk across that stage was eye-opening. Did the awards ceremony make you see the business opportunity differently?

 

[soccermama]

nope, not a bit.... I guess maybe I've always just "got" the whole thing. I've known how wonderful this business is and that ANYONE can do and be as successful as they want to be...... So conference didn't change anything for me.....

What is TPC?

 

[pamperedgirl3]

Well, if it didn't really make you realize anything you didn't already know, then maybe you could mention what others might realize by going. Or you could mention things you learned in your workshops, meeting new people, etc.

 

[pamperedgirl3]

What is TPC?

Top Performance Cluster

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

TPC can mean one of two things - one is The Pampered Chef, but in this context, it means Top Performance Cluster.

 

[jsnow]

thanks

I'm still new and don't have a cluster.

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

You might want to browse through the acronym thread, too.

Has anything changed in your business since you attended this conference? If not then just get excited about the new products and share how you've shared your excitement with others since returning.

 

[chefjeanine]

Well, if it didn't really make you realize anything you didn't already know, then maybe you could mention what others might realize by going. Or you could mention things you learned in your workshops, meeting new people, etc.

If the goal is for you to inspire more to attend next year, this would be my focus. Think about some of the comments made here at Chefsuccess or by people you met at conference. Use this information to discuss why attending conference is so important to having a growing business.

I understand where you are coming from. . .this is the second year in a row that there hasn't been an "aha" moment for me. However, one thing I ALWAYS take home with me is the diversity of the people achieving success.

 

[finley1991]

thanks

I'm still new and don't have a cluster.

You don't have to have a cluster of your own to earn TPC!!! Log onto Consultant's Corner and read up on it! Then set your goal and go for it!

Did you learn one great tip you can share from networking or attending a workshop.

Probably, your director won't want you saying you'd go back because you loved Chicago....

This is part of something I just added to my PWS

"You can Make Your Dreams Come True!
For the first time in my life I truly believe this about myself!
I went to our Pampered Chef National conference this year for the 2nd time and I learned SO much, not only about my business but also about myself and how I want to live my life. We all have the power within ourselves to make it happen we just need to dare to dream. I know my dream what’s yours?"

Pretty much summed it up for me.

The bold is just so perfect!!!

Well, wish me luck. I'm gathering my things and leaving in about an hour. I'm considering writing out questions on index cards and handing them out, and then making everyone that has a card ask their question.....

I agree with this too! I also have to speak to my cluster tomorrow and that is my answer to what I brought home! I also plan to pick my favorite tip from each class and share it. Good Luck!
