I'm just curious. I am resigning with PC and was planning to do it this week, however when my director told me about the changes, I decided I might as well wait until Monday. But she kept mentioning something about upgrading........

Can anyone give me the low-down on the upgrade procedure? I may consider that avenue and get signed up tomorrow if I can find out more.

Thanks!! :)
 
It was said on one of these threads that the upgrade would cost $105 I believe but I am not sure if that is absolutely correct?
 
Basically you can sign now and get the $90 kit, or wait till the 22nd and get the $155 kit.If you sign before the 22nd, you get to decide which rewards program you want to be on.If you sign before the 22nd, you can "upgrade" to the new kit for another $105. You get everything in the new kit that is NOT in the $90 kit.Make sense?

Absolutely. Thanks Kate! I finally found some information through another post on here. Sounds like it will probably just be best if I wait until Monday to sign up.

If you have the $195, I suggest you sign now and get the upgrade - it ends up being a better deal with the amount of products you will get. However, if you already own most of what is in the $90 kit, then wait. Another plus to waiting is that it will help your recruiter with the recruiting promotion going on - it starts the 22nd!
 
Watch you sign date!From all my reading, the first 30 days are the most "critical" in your earnings on this new program. There is no buffer period - like having two months to work towards Super Starter Month 1. I have two potential recruits right now - I'm telling them to hold off until right before their first show, so they can make the most of their first 30 days. Your 30 days starts from the day you get your kit. So if you sign up a week before your first show is even booked, you are losing 5+ days out of the 30! Am I making sense? My recruit actually went a week past her latest show in Feb - giving the Host a week to close her show - backed that up 30 days and THAT is how she came to the date she wants to order/get her kit by (I thought that was a great idea!). Just another thing to consider on when to sign up. My Director said something about since it's FedEx your kit would be there the day after you sign! Did anyone else here that??
Thanks!

Shipping time depends on where you live. They said that they take the region that you live in into consideration when they set the 30 days. I am sure that we will not get kits that fast in CA

FedEx isn't all overnight delivery. But I did hear that kits were supposed to have one-day turnaround from the warehouse. So, depending on where you live, it will arive in 2-4 days.

HO uses the estimated delivery date as Day 1 for figuring out Day 30 and Day 90.
