Hello all! I finally found the newbie's intro section! HA!
My name is Jen and I was with the Pampered Chef about 4 years ago, for a year, then went inactive once we moved from Maryland to Tenn. My first show as a customer was done by Kathy Yellets (Exec. Director) and I've been connected to her ever since. We moved to TN in 2005 and Kathy moved to OK. I kept in touch with her here and there, once I went inactive I didn't hear from her too much. I needed a replacement part so I would contact Kathy. I needed a recipe, I knew who to email. Well, I lost my ooey gooey chocolate chip cheesecake bar recipe and I knew she'd have it, I emailed her. Kathy had moved to NC (even closer to me!) but she got me that recipe and then I hosted a catalog show for her. Which, by the time it was submitted, turned into MY show (actually my first 3 shows) because I signed up. I split it up into 3 and had a 4th to turn in, qualified pretty quickly. I just passed my 30 days, and in those 30 days I recruited 2 consultants, 1 who just qualified in her first 30 days. My 2nd recruit is well on her way to qualifying after only 2 weeks of being in biz. My 3rd recruit signed up last night, and before she had signed her agreement on my PWS, she already had bookings for 5 catalog shows. I have 2 more consultants waiting to sign up in May (1 is going on a cruise, the other is saving up her $$ and planning out stuff before she starts) so I fully intend and expect to make Director in MY 90 days and walk the stage at Wave 1 conference as Kathy's first director of 2008!
Needless to say, I'm just thrilled to death that my 2nd go-round of PC is turning out so much better. I truly believe I'm attracting more business and consultants because I have a more positive outlook about it this time, and more than just getting my kit, qualifying and then not being required to do much else past that. I have high goals for this business this time around and am SO thankful to still be a part of Kathy's team.
Now that I told you THAT story, a little about me.. I am a mom of 3 boys and a wife to a wonderful husband for 10 years now. The boys are 11, 8, and 6. I am also a full time hairdresser, and have worked in that field for 13 years. My family is from all over. I'm originally from Nebraska (Go Huskers!!) and my hubby is from Florida (where my dad lives and we met there) but my inlaws currently live in TN and we decided to move here to be closer to them. We lived in Maryland for 5 years (job for hubby) but are staying in TN for good, Lord willing. We are busy right now building a house on the property his parents gave us. Needless to say, my life is JAM PACKED right now, but even still I know I can do this business! I'm excited and so happy to have found this site. My newest recruit (pamperedchristy) found it and led me here.
If you've read all that.. thank you! Now that you know about me, I look forward to getting to know all of you better. 2008 is going to be a fabulous year for all of us!
