Once a month our unit joins forces with five or six other area units for a monthly Power Up event. This is a big training and recognition event held at a local hotel. The six or seven directors sit at a head table to conduct the meeting. Consultants are recognized for moving up the career path, weekly sales totals, monthly sales totals, etc. The newest thing they are doing is giving consultants who sell at least $1200 retail in one month a place at the head table amongst the directors. This month, I had a spot! I felt a little bad because life’s been hectic and I haven’t finished counting up all my sales from July yet. I know I hit $1200, though because I was over $1100 when I stopped counting. I gave my word I could vouch for $1200 and I got a place at the table! It was fun to be up there, however, because of my hearing loss, I had trouble hearing the training when directors were facing toward the “audience” in front. Bummer. I will get my sales all tallied up and share them in the future!
Tonight at my meeting I couldn’t believe my luck! I arrived a little late because although I was off all day, I slept way in and I had been trying to get products together for a customer who wanted them for her trip. She leaves in the morning so I had to act fast! Fortunately, someone could front me the products because my order isn’t here yet and she was so happy I could personally deliver them to her. She doesn’t live very close to me. I normally mail her orders to her, but this was a special circumstance and I am more than happy to accommodate in these situations. (more…)
Today did not start off so great. Last night I didn’t sleep well. As a result, I woke with a bit of a headache that I did not want to have escalate to a full blown migraine. I decided to stay back at the hotel and rest. I looked over the class schedule and decided that the afternoon classes looked more interesting to me than the morning ones did anyway. One thing I really liked this year compared to the Seminar I attended five years ago is that our classes were split based not only on our career path level, but our number of years in the buisness. Hooray! Finally, I can go to a class and not hear the same tired things over and over and over and over! (more…)
After all the opening Seminar festivities it was time to get ready for our local Future Area Awards Dinner. This is when our unit gets recognized for our accomplishments such as our unit’s Queens of Sales and Sharing and our Miss Go-Give Award. To be honest, I liked the food served at this dinner much better than the food at the dinner last night. Last night’s dinner made me a little ill. Tonight’s was better and the dessert was an excellent pecan pie! Yum! (more…)
Tonight was our National Area Dinner. It ran late. It’s always inspiring to see my NSD and hear from all the high achievers in our area, but after a long day of touring it got to be a long evening of awards. My NSD is Kathy Helou and she is absolutely amazing. We are the #2 national area at this Seminar. The #1 area is the Gloria Mayfield Banks Area. Some highlights of tonight’s dinner were that the Director Queen of Personal Sales is from our area. She did just over $106,000 in personal sales! She accomplished this by doing fund raisers for the troops. Her son had been overseas in Iraq and that was what originally inspired her to do this last year. She was the Queen last year with just over $116,000! Now her son is finished serving his time, but she couldn’t stop the program she had begun so she continued on this year. It was quite an amazing story and she accomplished tremendous results! Another highlight was Kathy Helou’s younger daughter singing at the end of the evening. She has quite a voice. She’s very talented. This is all I can muster for tonight.
Tonight at my meeting I was recognized for my awesome sales week! I was hoping I would be the “Queen” as we call it. I’ve never been the Queen before. I was sure someone might blow me out of the water with a $1000 sales week. Nope. There were two of us that had Star sales weeks (at least $300 retail sales) and I was ahead by about $145! At our meetings the Queen of Sales wears a little tiara. LOL It sounds silly and corny, but it’s fun. I got to wear the tiara. Not that I’m not used to it. I wore plenty of tiaras in my dancing days. Hehehe
