Just asking out of curiosity....how much communication do you get from your Director monthly? (assuming you hear from her monthly). My ex-Director used to send out a newsletter monthly with ideas, info and recognition. And every week she had meetings, one was a general unit meeting and the others were to help us with sales or leadership. The unit mtgs were open to everyone of course and the others were limited to small groups so she could give us personal attention. I thought it was wonderful. Currently I don't have a Director so I"m not getting any help, but I was wondering how much info others are getting from their upline. So out of curiosity, how helpful is your upline. Or if you are a Director, how much communication do you offer your downline?

I have had many directors over the years one by one they have left the company and one is still a senior consultant. My first and second directors were awesome providing newsletters, recognition, contests and fun logo items when you produced.

My present director has a program if you sell $750 a month she will provide a gift of product which is very nice. She doesn't communicate other than that. No information, no contests, no recognition for being number one in the unit or anything else. I have never met her since I rolled up 4 times each time a director left.

It looks like headquarters would encourage directors to communicate more with those of us who make them money and help us stay on top of changes. Let us know what is working, what helps recruit consultants and so forth. I noticed my director communication all stopped when the Freedom Plan started then she quit and now I am under the 5th director.

My director has been with BC for 23 years. She has weekly meetings, sends us emails and texts or calls to check on us. She is now encouraging us to go to Celebration. She's driving and we're sharing a suite. She encourages us to trail her on spa if we think we need help. She's pretty involved.

my director reaches out to her friends and family girls 2 times a month and spa girls any amount of time really just depends on what information is being shared. We have a unit social once a month and this summer we have meeting with several teams just to brainstorm and get more ideas and for just general networking.

I am very blessed that my national lives about 7 miles from me and she's wonderful (so is my director too)!

Has any of your directors mentioned any upcoming changes at Celebration? How about changes to the Freedom Plan? Please keep us posted since our directors do not send us any information.

Monthly?? are you kidding -- I've heard from my director maybe 2 times in the at least 6 years that I have been struggling. part of the reason is I happen to be a number of states away from my up-line...(I'm in MA, they are all in FL).

She left a message on my phone about a month ago about how she calls all her girls at least once a year (um, that math doesn't work here!) -- mainly the call was her me to put in an order so I don't lose my consultant status !!
See, she put a really bad taste in my mouth YEARS ago when I responded to one of her BC emails that goes to everybody -- and she basically "blew me off" and said she had too many girls to give any one of them special attention ---

My girlfriend came up and had me do an "emergency" spa at the home she was staying at -- only the hostess and one guest -- did sell the Skinlogics to the hostess.. no booking (YET!)
plus I did the lead box with info from Team ostwinkle, TeamOstwinkle.com Lead Box (http://teamostwinkle.com/teamfiles/leadbox.html) and I'm expecting a booking from that. (sorry - got a little off topic)

Aw, I hate to hear even one bad experience! My director, and our upline Senior are both awesome!
My Director has weekly or 2 a month meetings all with different themes (Earn N Learn, training, Rally, etc) !
Sends out weekly emails, special emails, always a monthly challenge, and we talk at least once a week. If not its usually on my part!
