And if you send "too many" you'll get an email saying "I see you have sent several emails...". Really? Tell us to notify of we see issues and then slap my hand for doing it?!ETA: that day I had sent two or three.pcjenni said:I have sent numerous emails, which takes more time from my day.
That's lame! I have been getting the updates since I re-promoted and it's nice to be the loop, but they need to have a better system for those in your position. That's crazy! I'm glad you can get the updates forwarded!sandilou2 said:Well, Becky, I have the opposite problem. I had the title in April so got access to the new web and jumped in with both feet. Lost the title this month, so I don't get any of the updates! Not cool! I was pretty much told, well, you are not a director anymore, so when you re-promote you'll get them again. I'd rather not started at all. Thankfully, I have someone that forwards them to me so I'm not caught in limbo.

When we got to test it, it was just a beta test and wasn't really "online" yet, so I don't know how that affected the differences between then and now. I do remember them saying that each guest either needed to provide an email address or an address AND phone number. We should get this information anyway. The way around people NOT wanting to provide an email address is the whole address/phone number requirement. To be honest, it sounded like a good idea because they HAVE to give you one or the other. I already get so many people who JUST give a name and mailing address and it's ridiculous. Now I can say the order can't be processed without it. WHen it's put to people that way, I'd imagine they'd have to comply. I like the idea of guests being emailed an automatic receipt. I feel it's easier to keep in touch with us. However, this was all in the perfect world where everything actually WORKS. LOL.Since it wasn't really "live" when we played around with it, the problems of truly importing guest lists and all the other problems everyone has been having (to be honest, I have lost track and haven't kept on top of all the issues) weren't showing up. I don't think they EVER anticipated the amount of problems they are having. And to be honest, I guess there would have been no way to know some of these issues until it truly went live. I guess this is why they are having directors and above do it this way.Back when before P3 came out, there was a beta testers group. A fellow director was on that and actually got to use P3 for her actual shows. This beta testing group seemed MUCH smaller and maybe that's what they should have done with the current "new web" mess. Or maybe their thinking was they could identify more issues if more people were using it?? Hence, having all who were Directors and above in title getting to use it?They worked on this whole transition for over 18 months before it was ever even announced and they pursued using some focus group participants to "test" it out. Who knows, but I hope this doesn't send people packing. I can tell you from MY perspective (I've been doing this 9 years, a Director for 6 1/2), I'm kind of "phasing out" and have been for the past couple years. I hate to say it, but I've gone back to work in my previous field and completely intended to do both, but I'm not sure how much longer I'll last. I just don't have the time to put into it like I used to and I feel it slipping away. Unfortunately when I get negative about things, it makes it easier to think about saying goodbye and this is one of those times. I went to Spring Launch and had just come off being in that focus group. I was SO excited about all of this new web stuff and all of the new products and remember thinking at SL "Wow, there's NO way I can give this up yet." But I can't say I'm still having those same feelings! But, that's just me and I don't always look at the glass half-full and fully admit it! Sorry - got off on a tangent. But I truly do hope things get better with all this!! For the sake of all of us consultants, as well as for the company as a whole because I know how much time, effort and MONEY went into this whole thing. (Over $2 million!).Ok, I'm done now.:blushing::blushing:Becca_in_MD said:Becky - were all of these problems there when you were in the focus group? It just seems that things like every guest needing to have an e-mail address would have been brought up by focus group people. Instead it seems like Directors and above are now the beta testers. This new web mayhem makes me glad I can't keep D status. I agree with Linda that you guys are not being compensated for all of the time it is taking you a) just to do business and especially b) to report problems to them.
Malinda Klein said:Ok, if the bugs were gone, i actually like setting up the show with a theme, and having the grocery list all in one place, with the receipts being emailed.
It does take longer. We use to be able to set up a show just by putting in the date, address, phone/email info in and syncing to the computer that would add the show to our website. But I'd have to go into the website and send the email to my host.
It's forcing me to talk to my host more about the website and encouraging her/him to send e=vites- although, no one has taken me up on it lol.
I'll be glad when the bugs are fixed.
The one thing I did NOT like, was entering my show online. This took alot longer then entering it into PP+. Maybe it was the connection, but having to wait as it saved, and made sure it saved...was a pain.
bethcooks4u said:I wish there was a way to make changes on the grocery list or at least notes. For instance I may bring some of the items or perhaps change the ingredients slightly, things like that. Maybe there is a way but I didn't see one when I looked at that area. You are right though, it does make you talk to your hosts moe and that is always a good thing.
pcjenni said:Don't get me started on the lead list...does anyone else think that maybe they are purposely bringing up lower level people first so they can get more people outside their circle?
Not sure what you mean by this Ann???
Sheila said:I'm not eligible for leads right nowQUOTE] Keep checking...read my last post...they may have left you on!
Sheila said:I'm not eligible for leads right now, but still got an out of the blue one the other day. She said she looked through all the possibles on the PC page, didn't see any who looked like they were "working" their business (no events?) and then went to Facebook & searched for local consultants. She said my FB business page looked the most active, so she contacted me to book her show. So make sure you have your calendar looking busy on your PC web page & events on your FB page too! It could be what makes you stand out from the rest.
pcjenni said:thank you for sending it, thank you for taking the time to share wendy! I am with you 100%. You are spot on about top performers and this new website. I will NOT be entering orders at a show. There is NO way that it would be time effective and usable in a real world situation. We have to put 10+ orders in to the system in less than 20 minutes sometimes, all while doing FSC and trying to connect, relate, book and recruit. Where is my time best spent, getting the customer an email receipt on the spot or getting them on my calendar and on my team?

Wendy, I agree 150% with EVERYTHING you have said. Send it to Marla, Jean, Doris - hell to Warren if you can!!!
I'd love to hear if you get a response! Or when! Of course, they are probably weeding through hundreds.cookingwithlove said:If you all agree then please send an email too. I want it shut down until it is fixed. I want to stop wasting time and energy on this thing. In case you do not have their emails here they are.

I am tired of the cheerleading and wahooing. Do I expect a personal response, no.
