Once you hit this point when does your raise start kicking in - The next month or the next show??
DO you get any kind of official notification?? DO you go in and change PP or will home office automatically calculate

Inquiring mind that are SOOOOOO close want to know
 
If I remember correctly the raise comes into affect the next month. The notification you get will be a silver whisk charm at your cluster meeting and your name printed in the consultant news. I am not sure about the new P3 but in PP you need to put that you have submitted 15,000 in sales.
Qre you about there? Congrats

I am nervous about P3 and I am a former IT professional I don't want to lost my data
 
If you install P3 and play with it for a while, you'll see that, while it is different, there is nothing to be afraid of. There are some reports that aren't there yet, but it's pretty nice. Make sure you have a bunch of RAM if you want to run it. I'm ordering some for my laptop, because I only have 256MB, and it can take 3 full minutes for P3 to open (I wish they had published recommended system minimums for P3).
