Leadership Insights: A Recap of My Experience at National Conference

[Pampered Laura]

Do you guys know everything already, or do you need info?!
PS: I did NOT trip or fall on stage , and I met Janice (YOU ARE SO CUTE!)! Didn't have my cheffer pin, and couldnt hear the crowd because my ears were ringing being dizzy... but I lived! I plan to promote again by National Conference.
Leadership was a-m-a-z-i-n-g.

Anyone need info about anything they've heard??

Re: Recruiting PromotionHi,
Can you share more about the recruiting promo and the new Super Starter program?

Thank you,
Sheryl

 

[Pampered Laura]

something I thought was really cool is that they're upgrading the way they pack stoneware. Gonna be surrounded in what looks like egg cartons - designed to suspend the product within the package. VERY cool!

 

[Pampered Laura]

The recruiting program and new consultant program is VERY detailed... do you need specifics? It's literally a whole packet of info

 

[gilliandanielle]

Thank you SO much!!

April host special? Sorry! I knew I forgot something!

 

[jrstephens]

Has anyone compared the other list to see if it agrees with this one. It looks like it to me but that is just from glancing not actually comparing it. I am at work and need to actually work!

 

[Pampered Laura]

April host special:
60% off CARAFE Or.... the NEW Trifle Bowl.

 

[dollfangs]

Is there any kind of a promo for new recruits? Also, they said that there was going to be an announcement about the wedding registry. Anything on this?

 

[thechefofnorthbend]

BWAWAWAWAAHAHAAAAA [evil laugh]

I'm kind of sorry to see all this fun end, now that leadership is over. Its been exillerating chasing down all the good (not-supposed-to-know-till-later) juicy information, and getting to know everyone on a "emergency" type level!!

 

[Pampered Laura]

Oooh... dunno if you guys got this or not... but the 2 shows submitted on Dec 1-15 earned you the cover product - the new Trifle Bowl. You guys, it's SO AMAZING.
It's three pieces. The bowl part can be used seperately than the stand, and it comes with a LID. And... the stand/lid nests inside the bowl for easy storage. SO TOTALLY AWESOME and a steal at only $39.

 

[mbh06]

Coffee, tea... NOOO!!! and why did they keep the disposable napkins???

 

[gilliandanielle]

The lid looked like a giant prep bowl lid, is that right??

 

[mbh06]

Very excited about the new kit, triffle bowl, and now the stoneware packaging!!!

 

[mbh06]

I am so glad I've gotten all the details before I have to be at the hospital in the morning (4:30am!!!) Now I can't wait for change over info...

 

[PampMomof3]

I am so glad I've gotten all the details before I have to be at the hospital in the morning (4:30am!!!) Now I can't wait for change over info...

[mbh06]

[gilliandanielle]

Any word on when we can earn the mid season stuff?

 

[PampMomof3]

That's what I thought but I Seriously have 7 woman around me that are pregnant and are popping them out month after month! I thought it was just in my brain!

 

[thechefofnorthbend]

Having my second son in the morning! He will be born around 8am. I am having a c-section.

Okay everone!!! At 8am tomorrow morning, please bow your heads and say a prayer for mbh06 and her new wonderful gift, 2nd baby!! Then go and kiss all your kids for her too!!

[Pampered Laura]

The lid looked like a giant prep bowl lid, is that right??

Yep! Great description!

 

[gilliandanielle]

Cool! I was worried the lid was going to be too flimsy!!

 

[Pampered Laura]

Coffee, tea... NOOO!!! and why did they keep the disposable napkins???

LOL no idea. That was a question being whispered.

 

[Marg]

For us Canadians, the Feb promo is submit $550 in sales and receive the microfibre dish cloth (not in the catalogue) for free. It will also be the Apr guest special.

 

[thechefofnorthbend]

Cool! I was worried the lid was going to be too flimsy!!

I have a trifle bowl from the 50's and the lid is glass with a small glass ball at the top. I was hoping that this bowl would be slightly more classy and have a glass lid, but for durability, cant blame them, we are going to be hauling this thig around for the next couple of months...LOL

 

[gilliandanielle]

Thank you so much for the CONFIRMED info Laura!! I would hate to call my customers and tell them that something is discontinued from a rumor!!

 

[Pampered Laura]

oh ya... new consultants will have a "Charter host" gift available to their first few hosts (forgot the number at the moment). Choice of Soap or Red Trivet!

 

[Pampered Laura]

Need to go through more of my packets and paperwork (and unFRY my brain...). I can't remember for the life of me anything regarding the mid-season products (how to earn them I mean, I know what they are) or the $500 show for Feb thing.

 

[gilliandanielle]

Thanks Laura!!

 

[Pampered Laura]

they have a whole packet of info/training/materials/customer care connections for us to use for the Deep Covered Baker 30 minute chicken! It's it's own mini-theme show now!!!!

 

[Pampered Laura]

LOTS of new Customer Connection emails going to be available to us too. Even one about the new kit!

 

[thechefofnorthbend]

SO much info, not enough coffee to keep me awake to process THOUSANDS of CS posts within the last 3 days!! WOW!!!

 

[Pampered Laura]

tell me about it. My brain is so over-processed at the moment!! LOL

 

[PampMomof3]

Okay, I'm leaving for 3 hours tonight, NO MORE talking until I return! I don't want to have to read through 15 pages of ONE thread!

 

[PampMomof3]

Hey Laura,

Do think a consultant should sign now or wait until after January 22nd?

 

[thechefofnorthbend]

Um...Hey Greg???

Okay, I'm leaving for 3 hours tonight, NO MORE talking until I return! I don't want to have to read through 15 pages of ONE thread!

Can we add TiVO to this site by chance?? How AWESOME would that be???

 

[PampMomof3]

Can we add TiVO to this site by chance?? How AWESOME would that be???

Okay, I would be TOTALLY addicted to that feature!

 

[letscook04]

Thanks Laura for the update!!

 

[Pampered Laura]

Hey Laura,

Do think a consultant should sign now or wait until after January 22nd?

You know what... I'm giving my fence-sitters the choice. The kit is $90 now vs $155 later. Depends whether your new recruits want to choose PC$$ or products chosen for them.
Definately do not wait to get them excited. The whole theme was "THE CHOICE IS YOURS". Give them that, and see what choice they make!

 

[Pampered Laura]

But... do NOT sign someone up under the new consultant kit program until they have their first 6 shows BOOKED. The program begins the DAY they recieve their kit! 30 days/90 days to earn all that PC CASH! This new program will help eliminate kit-nappers I think!

A huge deal was "sell the dream, not the deal". I need to do a lot of changing the way I recruit based on that major statement from the Home Office!

 

[ljcole7469]

Hey Laura, is there a list somewhere of what is coming for products in the new consultant SS kit? Thanks for any info...cant wait to get it out there.
