Where are you at? Who's shooting for what level? We're almost half way through the year and need to be held accountable.

I've officially earned Level 1 as of tonight!! YAY!! Now I need 29,000 more to get to Level 2!!

I don't care what level it is as long as its Disney! I got home from my show tonight and my 8yr old was still up. I told him to go to the tracking chart and highlight up to the 23,000. He was very excited to do it and told me GOOD JOB mom! :D:D That was so nice to hear!

So, how are you doing?

I am at 28,000 points so far. I would LOVE to earn level 3. Being from California it will be a BIG cost to have to pay to get there so 3 would be ideal. With that said, I will still be happy with level 2.

Did you guys see the changes for Disney? That is pretty cool that there is the Achiever Plus One option now for people who don't have kids or other family members going. Pretty cool! And it's cool that the big dinner/celebration event is at Hollywood Studios. The one place we didn't go in March was Animal Kingdom, so I don't know what to compare it to, but I loved HOllywood studios, mostly because of the Tower of Terror. that ride was AWESOME if you like that kind of stuff. Now we can ride it over and over and over. :)

I've been away so I'm just catching up... does this mean that there is no celebration at Animal Kingdom... now it's at Hollywood Studios like last time?

On track for level 3
My goal is level 3. Got the sales, now need to get this recuriting in order. Need 4 more recruits. 6 months to go. I can't let my kids down.

I am sure I will be able to find out more the closer the trip gets but next June we will have DH, me, DS 6, DD 5, DS 3, and baby 9 mos it says the room limit is 5 people, will they make us get an extra room for the kids? I wasn't planning on that as they are all little. Has anyone done this before?

I am full of questions, is the first time achievers breakfast just for the first time you achieve a trip or is it for the first time you achieve that level. If I earned level 3 last year and want to earn level 4 this year will we get to go to this?

I *think* that the first time acheivers thing is for first time acheiving a trip at all.

Was on track for Level 2 but would like to be on for Level 3. I have had no time to book June so it will be a long shot for me to keep on even Level 2 at this point.

Hopefully things will slow down AND I will find some willing hosts!:pray:

Please tell me we have 7 months to go .. please :) I'm fully on track for 2 but I truly want 3 ... especially if I'm going to buy in my extra kids... I need that extra travel allowance. I may only be able to take our youngest 3 but I'd love to see God bless it all enough to take them all!

Technically we could say 7 months. I look at it as 6 more for me, cause we are almost done with May and for me December is a half a month.
I hear you on the travel allowance. We are taking our 2 boys and it would be so much easier if the travel was covered. So 3 is my goal. Plus DH wants to stay at that hotel.

It is only for the first time you earn a premier trip. So, since you earned Paris (congrats!) you wan't go to first timers in Disney. HTH

I earned Mexico last year but had to take the cash award instead so I guess technically I won't be a first timer either?

pampmomof3

05-26-2009, 09:14 AM

Here is a first timer question.
If you have only earned at Level 2 and you earn a Level 3 for the first time, do you get to go to first time reception?
I never got a first time reception at level 2. Bummer!! The year I earned my first trip they didn't do anything for level 2 first timers. Every year since they have, go figure.

Same thing here! When we earned San Fran, no first timers but at the cruise they do! Oh well! I'm still stoked to have earned a couple trips!

pcheflisad

05-26-2009, 12:37 PM

It's the first time you attend a premier trip. I earned London 2 yrs ago but opted for the level 2 cruise, and then we went to Mexico in March and I was invited to the first timers reception.

Lisa

Koolotus

05-26-2009, 02:59 PM

Lisa said it right. Level 2 is not considered a premier trip, but that means you all can do first timers in DISNEY!!!! Wahoo!

pamperedlinda

05-26-2009, 03:50 PM

I went to a First Timers in Miami last month - does that mean that when I earn Level 3 Disney I'll get to go to another one?

Chef Kearns

05-26-2009, 04:09 PM

That's what I"ve been wondering to, Linda. I hope the Disney reception will be a little more spectacular.

I'm definitely not on track for level 3 but ahead for Level 2.

Where are you guys at now?

With hitting those 3k triple points, I'm now at 32,224. :D

Debi

06-24-2009, 08:01 AM

I suck and it looks like I won't be going to Disney unless something drastic changes. Darn small town country folks! But I have been attending networking meetings in Columbus, where there's LOTS of business! Ya never know, anything is possible!

finley1991

06-24-2009, 08:39 AM

I'm behind but will be close to catching up to be on track for level 2... when my newest hits her $1250 I should be almost right on. Have 2 shows this weekend and 2 catalog shows waiting to close. So maybe I'm better off that I thought!

July I am trying to book the end after conference. Keeping my fingers crossed that I can move BEFORE conference and just get in the groove and crank when I get back and feed off of the conference excitement buzz!

I'm putting in an offer today on a condo and the place is empty so we will see!!! (Wish me luck... I've never done this before!)

I am less than 10,000 points away from level 2. I really wanted level 3 this time but it's not looking good. I am in a recruiting rut. LOL!

How close is everyone else here?

09-02-2009, 03:19 PM

I have 44814. Just spent a good long call with my director today making solid goals for level 3. I need one more recruit qualifed for level 2 so I know I can do that but I SO am praying for level 3. I was on my knees this afternoon and then wrote out my goals for many areas of life and so i'm shooting for 8 qualifed recruits by the end of the year and hitting level 3! I'll need $5k per month as well. I'm believing and envisioning it and I'm writing lists and making calls tonight! Thanks for popping this check in up today! Great confirmation for me since much of my afternoon was focused on this!!!!!!!! God is Good ALL the time!

For me, it's NOT gonna happen.:cry::cry::cry: First time in four years I'm not earning a trip.

cincychef

09-02-2009, 03:37 PM

50985 right now. So I am on track for level 3. I can't wait to mark of the 52,000 level. I wanted to make level four, but with baby #4 due tomorrow I don't think it is going to happen. Either way we are going to Disney next year! I have one recruit qualifying this month and two more who could qualify, but I don't think they are going to so my goal this month is to recruit three or four more. Deb is my inspiration to try for 4 in a month!!

finley1991

09-02-2009, 04:15 PM

Too embarrassed to post my points.. my goal was to sign 5 in August so that at the end of Sept I would be on track for Level 2 with the points from the 5 qualifying. I signed 3... at least 2 are going to qualify. A past host just e-mailed me and she wants to sign as well so maybe, just maybe, I can get back on track via recruiting points. Then I need to bump up my sales (need to do regardless) to get there.

I WANT THIS TRIP. I was too jealous sitting at home thinking about all of you in Miami. That's not happening again!!!!!!!

DebbieJ

09-02-2009, 05:17 PM

As long as I can get all these latest recruits "qualified", I will earn level 2. That is just fine with me! :D I moved this year and I'm having a baby and will still earn the trip!

I am now a VERY FIRM believer that the key to earning these is recruiting. My sales have been down this year (I earned the previous 3 trips basically on sales alone) and recruiting is going to help me earn this year. If my sales had been where they usually are, I'd be on track for level 3.

finley1991

SusanBP0129

09-04-2009, 08:29 AM

I am on track for Level 2. (I have 37,000 pts) My goal was Level 3, but I will still be THRILLED with Level 2.

Chef Kearns

09-06-2009, 08:40 PM

URGH!! My goal was Level 3. I am on track for 2 with a lot of hard work (35,743). I really wanted 3 since they pay for airfare then. I will just be happy to go!! We are going to extend our trip so we can really experience the park.

My plan is to recruit and qualify 4 more recruits by the end of the year. That will make the monthly sales goal more reachable. I am not have great success qualifying my recruits. I've recruited one gal (18 y.o) who really has her stuff going on!! She submitted over $2k in her first 30 days and has 1 recruit!!

Debi

09-06-2009, 09:27 PM

I've pretty much given up. It's really frustrating after earning the trip both of my first two full years with the company. And now, in my third full calendar year, I won't be earning it. This area it totally NOT conducive for my business. I am still pondering ideas though! I don't plan on 2010 being this sucky! LOL!

pcjenni

09-07-2009, 01:22 PM

I have 13 recruits this year but only 3 have qualified!!! Need to get them working and I will make level 2

On track for level 3 stilll with my sales, still need enough recruits, 3 more, bleh

gaddischef

09-08-2009, 11:17 PM

One thing that helped me with the recruits needed for the trip this year -- I had a goal to have 6 recruits by July 1st, not stressing at the last minute. I signed up 6 people, 2 more need to qualify. I'm definitely not as stressed as I was trying to earn Paris, because that came down to me having to recruit 4 people in Nov and Dec. and I wasn't doing that again.

annew

09-09-2009, 03:10 PM

at the end of this month i'll earn level 2 but I'm still trying to shoot for level 3........ I'm just hoping that I can get there!!
I just signed 3 new recruits last month & I need 3 more by the end of December to make it :)
don't forget we have 4 months left :)

We can do it!!

chefkugler

09-12-2009, 08:28 PM

I have earned level 2. My goal is level 3. Sales points, I'm on track for level 3. But still need 2 more recruits. I'm trying real hard to stay focused on that. Business hit a slump for July/August, so I need to get back in the game.

Where are you?

11-15-2009, 09:17 AM

I am 2867 away from level 3. I already have all the recruits I need.
I have 3 more shows and one FR this month...one recruit about to qualify (which will give me another 2000 points)...and 5 shows plus a FR in December.

I am also 6k away from Level 2. I have the recruits already. I have four that have not yet qualified--one is just $278 away and HAS to submit this month or she'll lose it.

I have $2k+ in sales that are not turned in yet. I have two more shows this month and two shows next month. I need a few more shows to make sure my dreams come true!

YAY Deb! We'll make that Disney trip together! Looking forward to it!! Now I just have to buy my daughter in. It's over $400 to buy in a 5 yr old! Crazy!

11-15-2009, 03:12 PM

beckyjsmith

11-16-2009, 03:23 PM

Right now at 96,000 and change. When we get those promotion points on dec 10 level 4 is a done deal. WHAHOO! I have to buy in for 2 kids as well... holy cow.... all I can say is TG for the travel allowance! Since my husband travels so much with his job we usually fly free, although we are considering driving. I am so so so so excited!! We have asked our parents to get them Disney gift cards for Christmas and birthdays... the girls will be having tea with the princesses and the boys enjoying a pirate adventure.

I've earned level 2 but still chugging away @ level 3......

pamperedbecky

12-12-2009, 08:04 PM

Amazingly enough, I would probably earn level 2 if my last consultant qualifies!!! It's a HUGE long shot though. I had a potential consultant wanting to sign up and she would have tried to qualify by the end of the month, but I don't think that one is going to happen. I would need a 4th to qualify AND would need the 2000 points to squeak by for level 2. I doubt it's going to happen.:(:(

I'm not too bent out of shape though because up until a few weeks ago I didn't think I would be anywhere close, but it's been an awesome couple months. If a miracle would happen and I'd get that one consultant to qualify, I would flip out!!!!

I know....I'm SO excited that there's a chance we could go again in June. I never thought I'd be close. Unfortunately I learned that the consultant that still needs to qualify only had a $152 show today, so that puts her at just $715. She'd have $535 to go. :cry: She doesn't have any more Dec. shows booked, but says she's going to try to get some more. You never know! It's a long shot, but I did tell her that it would help me earn the trip and I'm offering up some cookware that I have that's extra. So....we shall see. I have a feeling it's not going to happen. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and praying for a miracle. :)

Chef Kearns

12-13-2009, 09:57 PM

I don't want to say it's not going to happen either!! My gal is so new and she hasn't had a show yet or anything!! She's got her first party on the 20th, she's collecting a few orders now from people who want Christmas gifts and I've convinced her to have a Grand Opening Show the weekend after Christmas. It will come DOWN TO THE WIRE!!

Then even IF she's able to qualify I'll need about $800 in sales!! Anybody need a Deep Covered Baker? LOL!! BTW, offering the DCB for the price of the day is really booking my 5-10th!!

DebbieJ

I do the same thing! Last time he didn't answer, and when I got mad he said all you are going to say is don't give the baby a bottle, which is true, but I was really hurting:)

Gavin is doing great too. He started sucking his thumb last week and I think it is because I have been gone doing shows and he would rather suck his thumb than take a bottle. That works for me and it is kind of cute at this age...... we'll see at five though.

pampmomof3

12-14-2009, 12:29 PM

I'm thinking out loud here so hear me out-
To earn the trip on level 2, you need 52k points. In January PC gave us Directors 500 points for being a director. Well, if you are no longer a director, will those points be taken away? If so, I want to make sure you consider that and make sure you have a cushion. I would seriously hate for anyone to miss the trip b/c of 500 points.

Again, I'm thinking out loud here....... :)

pamperedbecky

12-14-2009, 12:47 PM

Nope. I just re-read the rules about the trip and it says points can't be taken away. But you don't earn them twice if you re-promote in the same year. Good thing to check on though!!!

Wow, I've had $175.75 in online orders over the past 24 hours!! Every little bit helps. I just want my consultant to qualify!!!!:cry:

Chef Kearns
