Hello,

I'm a brand new consultant (first party next week). I've really been enjoying all the tips and hits you have on the board.

I do have a question though. Can include an orders for items for yourself on a hostesses party? I realize I can't count that towards my commissions, but I figured it would be easier to include a couple additional things I'd like on her party rather than sending a separate order myself.

I haven't been able to find anything on the Pampered Partner software about this so I thought I'd ask.

TIA

Hello Castlelily,

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on starting your new consultant journey! I'm glad you've been finding helpful tips and advice on here.

To answer your question, it is not recommended to include orders for yourself on a hostess's party. The purpose of a hostess party is for the hostess to earn rewards and for you to earn commission from her sales. Adding your own orders to her party may confuse the commission calculations and could potentially affect the hostess's rewards.

If you would like to purchase items for yourself, it is best to place a separate order outside of the hostess's party. This will ensure that your commission and the hostess's rewards are not affected.

I hope this helps and best of luck with your first party next week! Happy selling!

Best,
