WHEN do they make Director calls? Ugggh the suspense is killin' me!! :D :eek: :eek: :eek:
 
Congratulations!!

I didn't get my call until the 8th of the month - one had gone inactive on the 1st (she counted for me UNLESS she had asked for a waiver which she didn't - they just had to wait to be sure).

Most people get their calls in the first day or two of the month!!

I had one "almost" go inactive yesterday... she did a show this month, but turned it in at 11pm last night!! Thankfully, ALL of my 5 are active and qualified as of 11pm last night.
Uggghhh!
 
Congrats - I hope they call you ASAP!:D
 
Anything yet, Laura??
 
Ok, I have been with PC for over a year and I don't know what a Director call is!!
 
It's when you are eligible to promote to director, the HO will call you and perosnally ask you if you'd like to promote, then they'll answer any questions you have.
 
I think I got my call around the 8th also. I think it might take longer some months than others though. I promoted in November and I think they had a lot of people to call since that was the last moment you could promote to get points for the trip. Hang in there, you'll get the call!
 
I think mine was around the 8th as well. I wonder if it's to give time to people to correct any "holds" on their shows?? Sometimes this may affect whether or not someone stays active? I know, the waiting is SO hard!! Congrats, though!!:D

And with that, my wonderful Director promotes to Senior Director!
(and the Home office said that I qualify for them to send me ALL OF THE NEW FALL Products ASAP) woohoo!!! Thanks for letting me share - I'm so excited! :)
 
Good for you! I'm sure you were relieved when they called....now you're going to be waiting for the UPS guy:)
 
Congrats!!

BTW: You won't recieve ALL the fall products - just the ones at level 3 of the sell a thon we hadin June (which is still a lot!!).
 
Congrats Laura! I'm glad you didn't have to wait until the 8th!!
