Cheering on TPC Aspirants: Reaching Your Goals in the Pampered Chef World

[janetupnorth]

I was thinking about this early this morning for some reason...maybe since May 31st is fast approaching and maybe because spring isn't coming fast enough.Anyway, I only do this hobby/part-time so I am NOwhere near TPC on anything but have fun cheering everyone else on...So, check in...1. What category is there a possibility of you making?
2. How far away are you?
3. So, what are you doing about it?!?!?!?!?!
4. How can we here kick you in the butt to keep you on task to make it?

So, check in...


1. What category is there a possibility of you making? Personal Sales
2. How far away are you? 522
3. So, what are you doing about it?!?!?!?!?! I have a show Saturday
4. How can we here kick you in the butt to keep you on task to make it?

I really need some ass-kicking about getting on the phone - my sales and bookings are way down right now and I need to unstrap that 900lb weight from my phone so I can start using it again!

Only 522 away, that is AWESOME Carolyn!!!! Post when you make it...

Now on the phone thing...hmm...you need to treat yourself like a child and do an incentive plan...X calls get you Y item...


How about doing some CCCs? Those tend to be the most non-threatening ones to do, you are checking on your customers and how they like their products...then you can move into the..."you bought X so I'm sure you would like Y (new spring product)". Have you thought about taking a break from this long winter (I know it IS warmer by you)...and having me come show you some great spring/summer recipes...(Greek Cheese Torta...grilling ideas...etc...)

 

[sfdavis918]

Carolyn, you are only $522 away from TPC? That should be no problem, right??

1. What category is there a possibility of you making? TPC in Recruiting
2. How far away are you? 5 recruits
3. So, what are you doing about it?!?!?!?!?! I have three VERY strong potentials (two have actually said they are sure they're going to sign). I'm trying to follow up with all my cold recruiting leads too!
4. How can we here kick you in the butt to keep you on task to make it? Keep me accountable! And a little encouragement would be great.

(Where is that cheerleader smiley when I need it...)
That is so attainable based on what you said above...I'll try to remember to check in with you in a week or two to encourage you too!!!! :thumbup:

 

[PamperedChefDebi]

[janetupnorth]

Bump because I KNOW Carolyn and Debi aren't the only TPC contenders... Guess the rest are working their businesses?!?!?!

1. Personal Sales

No, don't stop posting. How do you coach for a $1K show. How is it different than host coaching in general?

Don't forget to send another e-mail out when the outlet changes again in April!!!! Individual orders will help...

Ask your guests if they have spring weddings coming up...how about a gift certificate for the bride???? Purchase now and they are ready to go for the wedding...

1. What category is there a possibility of you making?Recruiting
2. How far away are you? 8 qualified, 3 pending qualification. 1 signing this week (hopefully), and working on a few other leads, but none that are really HOT
3. So, what are you doing about it?!?!?!?!?! trying to book shows, my calendar is lacking. Contacting "cold leads" to see if anything has changed, like needing extra money for gas! PRAYING
4. How can we here kick you in the butt to keep you on task to make it? get on the 3-2-1 thread & kick my rear if I don't post my contacts

I'm nervous putting this goal out for all to see. :blushing:

 

[ChefBeckyD]

I have about 6 catalog shows that are going, too. Argh... I'm usually booking 2-3 months out! Not sure what the deal is here, but I'm getting on the phone.
4. How can we here kick you in the butt to keep you on task to make it? No kicking please!!! I'm trying, but not real hard.

[lacychef]

Congrats Ruthie! And congrats to you all that are definately on track:thumbup: You guys CAN do it!
TPC in personal sales was something I was kinda shooting for, but I did not do a good enough job tracking it the whole year. Right now I'm 23000 away, so I'm not seeing it this year. But, it will be a goal for next year!

I'm on track for the trip! With the show I closed last night, I'm at 20,000 points! I'll have a recruit qualify in April, plus 3 more shows this month....so by the middle of April, I've earned level one! Yippee!

Quiverfull7, thanks for the comment at the bottom of your TPC goals. I am totally with you! That is why I put on #4 that I'm not trying too hard!

If I make TPC.... what success!!!:thumbup:
When I make it to heaven... the absolute most value and success!!!:angel:

 

[chefruthie]

Gosh guys :blushing: Thank you so much! I admit I was really shocked to see I had made it already. I was shooting for sometime in May. I have been getting really blessed with lots of catalog shows the past couple of months and have spent time host coaching them more than I had normally. It really does work!! It's not too late for lots of you all. I sold over $10,000 just in October. You can do it !:thumbup: !!

Diane that is exactly how I feel! I learned from the first time I was with PC that I had it backwards. Now it is God first, family second and PC third. I have made hard decisions but He has always blessed me in some way or another. This is the best fall selling season I have ever had and it has been pretty stress free because my family has been behind me all the way. I earned the cruise but because my daughter was due with baby #3 the end of this month, I knew I would be needed at home so I took the $900. I know the cruise will be great and they'll have lots of fun but helping with the 2 1/2 year old & 1 1/2 year old is a blessing for my daughter and that is priceless
Tell everyone you know that you are trying t reach this goal. People are so willing to help others achieve their goals.
I don't post that much, but I do read as much as I can and here's a belated CONGRATS on your new grandbaby!

 

[lacychef]

I'm too lazy...

LOL! It would definately be a miracle if I could.....so I'm being realistic.

There's gotta be more that are close....
