Hey everyone! :D I thought this might be a fun thread to start. Maybe get some of us motivated. ;)
1.How many here have reached your cluster challenge?
2.How far is your cluster away from reaching its goal?

My cluster only has to turn in 10 shows :rolleyes: :cool: and I have 4 that qualify (with another 8 to turn in!) and I know 2 other clusters have 4 more to turn in. Without a doubt we will reach it so I can't wait!!!:D
 
Count your blessings...Our cluster has to do over FIFTY shows...I think it's 52. We're not sure how HO decided the numbers, but we got jacked! My director has many who are barely active, and two directors under who don't count.

I wish it was based on sales...every $250 in sales counts as one...I am just getting ready to close a $1200 show for June that would really help then!

My director isn't very hopeful, but we will see. Good luck to everyone else!
 
How do you find out how many sales your cluster needs? I have never spoken to my director and havent spoken to my recruiter since I joined in February. I am kind of bummed. I wish I knew how to get a hold of her, all I know is her name. :(

I'm half way there, I have one show (catalog) as I just bought a new house and it's taking forever to unpack, my first house!!!! YIPPEE!! I wanted to do PC OPen house, but....
I also work an extremely demanding job at a hospital which takes up most of my time.
I think I'm the only cluster member any are worried about, so if I have to I will order the entired 2nd show myself!! :( DOn't want to , but sure don't want lose out on the gift either.
 
My cluster needs to do 88 - I have already submitted 4 at above $250!If you don't know who your director is or how to contact your director, call HO and ask for contact information. I'm not sure if they will give it out - you at least could ask them to give your contact info to your director and ask for contact. Also, ask if you can get a Hospitality Director that lives near you and actually holds meetings. That REALLY makes a difference!!!Another way you could try to find out is to go to CC, Consultant and Leadership Training, View Your Director's Website. Jessica - where do you live?
 
My recruiter just got promoted to director last month. Unfortunately, that means that we're under her director who has mostly inactive consultants. My director's team makes up almost all of her cluster sales apparently so we have a lot of work to do to make up for everyone else. We're working on it:). I don't have any idea what the new product is but I know that I want to win it!!
 
Our cluster has to do 66. I have 8 scheduled this month myself. One was supposed to be today, but she had to cancel because she had to take her son to the hopital. They think he got bit by a spider. She already had about $250 in outside orders. I had another show at the beginning of the month. Only one person ordered, but she said she was going to keep her show open for awhile and work her butt off to get orders.

A lot of our cluster is inactive too, so not sure how they came up with 66. I think there are only about 10 of us that work regularly.
 
To figure the number they took the number of consultants (I believe they included all consultants except inactives...I could be wrong) under each director and added the director to the number and multiplied by 2. So, for my group, my director has 43 consultants under her - excluding any directors under her and their team - plus her makes 44, times 2 is 88. HTH
 
:::::hanging head in shame::::::::
My cluster needs to submit 22 shows...so far only one of my girls has submitted anything and she only submitted one show -- I have my two in already...but I don't see this happening. I have a bunch who went inactive in May and a handful of kitnappers :(
 
I've done mine...Now they're not HUGE mind you but I do have 2 submitted (June 1 and 2) and have 4 more to submit (June 4, 9, 10 and catty this week). Then I have the 13th, 14th, and 25th. Too bad there's only 2 of the five I've done so far that are over $600...one of those is about $820. I'm finding more and more that the show totals are smaller....but at least I'm helping the cluster :)
 
I'm not exactly sure how many we have to get. I have 2 shows booked for June. One is next weekend and the other is in 2 weeks.

I'm in the same boat! Our cluster needs to submit 22 as well and my director has 4 shows scheduled and I have 4 shows scheduled. Everyone else on the team is up and down and so far, most of them have no bookings for June! Yikes! I've submitted 2 shows so far, but it's looking pretty dismal for our team...oh well. I look forward to earning the Sell-A-Thon products, at least!
 
Our cluster has to submit 20 or 22. I have 11 scheduled. :)

I know my director already submitted two, one gal on my team had a show on Thursday that has yet to close and a fundraiser as well that is still open. I have two open shows that should make it.

As long as everyone who has shows scheduled doesn't run into cancellations and they're all above $250, our cluster should make it!

I'm so excited!!!!
 
Our cluster has to submit 60 and my director sent out an e-mail on how to get bookings for June because she was getting alot of people asking (doesn't sound very promising).:confused: So far I have submitted 3 shows, one at $1100 and two at $500. I hope everyone is working their tails off cause I want the freebee.:D
 
Sounds like we are most all in the same boat. My team has to do 22 also and so far we have in my 2 shows plus the one I did today. I plan on submitting 8-10 myself. I hope we all make it! June Sell-a-thon is going well though!
 
I know that my cluster has to submit 28 shows. I think as of right now there are 26 shows "scheduled" so we will see if they all pan out. I should be submitting 5-6 shows. I am really hoping my cluster can do this since there is no other way to get the item free!
 
Our cluster has to submit 72 shows I think. I will be turning in my Friday sale order tomorrow, and closing my show from last week today. I have 6 more scheduled; I just hope everyone else is working hard too!
Now we just have to contain our suspense until conference when we can see what all the new things are:D
 
I have officially done my 2 shows and have 2 more, we only need 28 total so I am hopefull that we will make the challenge.
 
JuneI just know that I have to submit at least 2 shows of $250 or more to get the $70 sharpest product. I have already submitted one for $480, i have a FR running, a catalog show running and a cooking show to close on Wednesday. I only have about 4 more shows booked for this month (so far) so im sure i will be able to get another $250 or more party. I am not sure about the other consultants in my cluster. I know a couple went inactive... including my recruiter! She was a future director, but then got really busy with school, family, work etc and is now inactive. And the girl i recruited back in March, did not turn in her $200 within 2 months after she became active, so i dont think she is active any longer. I havent heard from her or HO, so i am not sure how that works.

I am going to recruit another friend from Texas but waiting till the 15th to join, just to give her some extra time to earn the SS packages.

Good luck to everyone! Cant wait to hear about what the new products are as i will not be able to attend National Conference.
 
I've done it!I've hit both of my two shows!
 
Me too!!!!
Our cluster is small, so we need 16 shows, between my director and I we have hit the mark! Yeah!
 
I've turned in my two. . .and will have others closing before the end of the month. Just don't know if our cluster is going to pull this off. I'll be disappointed to not get the new product because other folks didn't pitch in to meet the goal.
 
Hi there! I'm mostly a lurker, but had to tell you all this....my cluster has to turn in.........184 Can You Believe That??!! My 2 are done and I have 2 more to go, but.....what d'ya think?? Can we make it? I'm not too sure and am gonna be extremely disappointed if we don't. Sigh...oh well!
 
I hope we make it... I will have 4 in... I think our cluster needs 38. I hope we get it!!!
 
My cluster has to do 22 shows - I had four shows scheduled this month (I'm in SS2) and I really wanted to help out. HOWEVER - in the last two days three of my four shows canceled.

I'm so bummed. All of my friends and family are PC'd out. I have no idea how to get at least another show to say I pulled my weight as a new consultant. My director said that we mostly won't hit the mark since we have many people who barely do their 200 in sales every two months.
 
My cluster has to do 88 shows. The most we have ever held in one month is 82 so I don't know how well thats going. One thing that my director said that will help us is that the new consultants who signed up some time during may(can't remember the exact day) wouldn't count as someone in our cluster-for example jane doe who signed up after a certain date wouldn't make our number of shows that had to be held go up-it would actually help us b/c her shows would still be counted. So if you are recruiting, it's actually helping you!!!

I have only submitted one show but i have shows next thurs,fri,sat,sun,monday,thurs.and fri. plus about 6-7 catalog shows. That's the most i've ever done in one month. The most shows i've ever done in one month is 8 so cross your fingers and pray that i can get everything closed out by the 30th....
 
This is a tough challenge for those with larger clusters!!Wow, sounds like most are in the same boat I am in. I have had several consultants go inactive since they counted the number. I have done 4 shows already, but my cluster only has 2 in so far. And we are closing on our new house on June 30, so I only have 1 more show to do, then I will be off for a month...packing...moving and unpacking.... My team said I should have scheduled more than 5 shows for the month, I usually hold 8-12. But I explained to them that this is why I do Pampered Chef...the flexibilty!! Seems like I have spoiled them all rotten!! (just like my kids!)

I think the HO should have started at counting qualifying shows first then bumped the next team challenge up to $250 shows. At least I don't have to reach 100-400+ shows like some larger teams do.

Hope everyone gets their free product!! Good luck all!!
 
we have to have 78 shows and I have 3 shows to turn in 2 towards the end of the month so I hope I can get them in by the 30th
 
I will be closing my 2nd show Friday, and I have 3 more this month, plus 3 catalog shows. I am doing my part, and my 2 recruits are not included in the cluster total, and they have several shows this month, that will help.
 
I've submitted 5 so far as of tonight. Still have 4 more to go. Our cluster has to turn in 36 and I know I have my 9, another has 9, our director who is on the PC trip to Greece has 6, and my brand new recruit has 2, and a fellow consultant just did her only 2 so that leaves us only 8 short. I would hope with 14 more team members we could get those last 8!! :rolleyes:
