Well, I'll be playing in South Beach I think. I took myself out of the push for Level 3 when we decided to move again. This will be three major relocations within 12 months. I'm a fighter, but I just don't want ro risk turning a happy decision (the move) into a cause of excessive stress.

My September will end over $7K, but I have no shows right now for October (don't yell at me Morfia! :eek:). I have a Business Expo three days after I get to Florida that should draw around 3000 folks. We'll see where that takes me. :pray:

You are going and still fired up!
 
  • #112
Ok, I have a little update. One new consultant is about to qualify with her shows over the weekend, but I won't include her yet in this. I'm thinking Paris won't happen and at this point I've kind of run out of steam. I don't know why. I'm just not taking the time to get on the phone and get more bookings. I suppose it's possible, but there's been so many other things taking up my time so I just need to MAKE time, but I don't know why I'm so "blah" about it.

Anyway, here's the latest:

Becky
Goal: Paris (level 3) - 74,000 points and 6 qualified recruits
Have: 55,043- 6 qualified -3 still to qualify (one probably won't :()
Need: 18,957- 0 to qualify

So here's an update for me:Debi
Goal: Mexico (Level 3) - 74,000 points and 6 qualified recruits
Have: 46,653 - 6 qualified
Need: 27,347 points SOOOO....since I'm moving at the end of the month, from Germany to Ohio, it is time to be realistic. I do have 4 unqualified consultants but one of them may never qualify. So, my new, realistic goal is:Goal: Miami Beach, FL (Level 2) - 52,000 points and 4 qualified recruits
Have: 46,653 - 6 qualified
Need: 5,347 points So, THAT's in the bag!!! I had my highest month EVER this month at just under $5000 so, even with my move, I'm good to go!

Okay, this is the Oct-Dec push. We can all do it. We did an amazing job of pulling each other across the TPC line via Deb's TPC thread last Spring. (I wouldn't have made TPC without Deb and the rest of you!) So, the goal is for everyone to earn the incentive they're aiming for. Let the encouragement and ideas fly! (I so love this site!) :love0010:


I have a little of the pollyanna in me, I'm afraid:blushing:

My DH keeps asking me too. :(
I had SO MANY cancellations in August which sort of tanked my September as well. Ugh.
But that's OKAY. We have THREE more months and they will be 3 more FABULOUS months! ...And we will all have a BLAST together in Miami in April!

Find a fundraiser or two. I did several in my first year that were over $6K. Then I kind of stopped doing them when I did the double-move last winter. My former HD just finished one that is over $6K...with only 15 families participating! That was like a V-8 moment for me.

With the economy going down, all the extras like sports fees, uniforms, band trips, etc can become a struggle. PC fundraisers can be a rescue! Great to do in November...customers save on the stoneware and it goes toward Sell-A-Thon and trip points. ;)
 
  • #124
Ok so this thread made me go look. I had one more girl qualify last night so that gave me a big boost.

Original goal was Paris (as I always seem to want more than I can get) but unless some miracle of God happens I guess I'm going to Miami. (I live in FL about 3 hours from Miami so I am not all that excited but it will be GREAT to earn the trip)

Goal: Miami--need 52,000 pts and 4 recruits
Have: 36,190 and 5 qualified
need: 15,810
I have some prospects but no one I have signed lately. I do have 7 cooking, 2 catalog shows and a fair for October.

I WILL DO IT!!!
 
  • #125
I may have to readjust my goal for Miami instead of Paris...(I'm happy with either!...and I can have a day-trip to visit Carolyn :))

Kris-can you elaborate on how you think November is the "right" month? I know the stoneware is a big draw, but how would you go about presenting that time to be the best time? You always have such great language when it comes to things like this...please share more!
 
  • #130
Well, the good news is that I have earned Level 1!
The bad news is that Mexico is SO out of the picture.
The better news is that I could earn Miami if a miracle occurs!

Miami:
Need:$27,793 (that does not reflect all September sales)
Need: one more recruit to qualify

I have a great looking October and November is shaping up well, but I would need to pull out a HUGE fundraiser or 12 to get that much in sales! I am not giving up~I am just being realistic!

Here's some words you can use/modify...(hope they help):

'November would be a great month for your fundraiser! Not only is it perfect timing for holiday shopping, all the unglazed stoneware is going to be 20% off. This will help your sales since most folks purchase more when they're saving on a product they really like...and so many people love our stoneware! Also, November still leaves plenty of time for people to get what they need to support their own holiday baking and entertaining plans.' [..or something like that.:eek:]

Miami:

Have 2 new consultants yet to qualify so that would I would need 17,152.With 3 new consultants (overall) and 6 shows each month (Oct, Nov, Dec) I will make it.Need to add at least 3 more October Shows, 5 more November and 6 December. And I have 3 good recruit leads. Wow. I feel like this might actually happen! :D
 
  • #133
This thread is the ecouragement I needed.
My original goal was Mexico. Now with only 3 months left, it may not happen. However Miami beach points are set. It is the recruiting.
I have 49,200 points. I only have had 2 recruits. I need 2 more and I will have this trip earned. What kills me is I have at least 7 recruit leads and NONE of them are ready yet. What can I do?:confused:

Just wanted to update everyone!

Mexico OR Paris (Level 4 w/ TPC day) - 102,500 - 7 qualified recruits
Have 86,980 - 8 qualified w/ 3 more to qualify:)
Need: 15,520 - 0 qualified recruits

So with 6,000 points for my three recruits I only need $9,520 to earn Level 4! WHOO HOOO!!!

And you will notice I changed my goal to Mexico or Paris. Because my travel buddy, Duska, really wants to go to Paris instead...so her and Todd might twist my arm enough to go to Paris! Where ever we go it will be a blast!!:D:D

Okay this is a thread I can join in on! I REALLY WANT to earn a trip. The gift card is nice, but it's time to step it up a notch. It seems really far away, but then again, so did directorship!

I am at 33,000 right now and need 52,000 to go to Florida.

Once my director points kick in and my newest recruit qualifies, I will be at 37,000. That gives me 3 months to get $15,000 in sales (or less if/when I recruit more).

Thanks~!!!

I only need 7400 points to make Paris and this will be my first level three trip! I had developed a director earlier this year which promoted me but both my directors had to stop because of life issues which made me loose 6000 points and then we had such a horrible Sept due to the storm. BUT things are turning around, already had a $1800 catalog show come in and did a $1200 booth yesterday and I can't loose the momentum. I've always wanted to go to Paris!!!!
