I'm hoping someone can help me. You guys are great on here and are soo infomative. So I just had my show August 23rd and I'm getting ready to close it tonight. First I have to figure out pampered partner, so that should be fun to do tonight. So I may be posting later with questions about that..haha.. Okay so here are my questions
The receipt, there is one that say HO copy, does that need to be sent to HO or can I keep that copy if I'm putting everything through pampered partner?
Guest special- Do they have to order $50 in product or can it be $50 total including s&h and tax?
Do I as a consultant pay S&H if I order something for myself?
For September stone specials- Do I use the original price of the stone toward the products sales or the 20% off price? Also for september guest special how do I write it on the receipt, do I just write the sales price of the stone on the receipt?
Last one for now..lol...
Can a host qualify for a guest special if they spend over $50. One of my hosts is having a party in october but knows she is going to spend over $50 can she get the free jar opener?
Thanks soo much for all your help. My recruiter has been really busy with personal issues and I knew you guys would help me.

Thanks again :)

okit has to be $50.00 before tax and shipping, to get the guest special.
You can oder something for yourself , If there is something i want i will add it to a hosts order so i get a discount and do not have to pay shipping.Hosts do not pay shipping ! A host can get the guset special if she spends $50.00 out of her own pocket not the Free money they earn for doing the show !

Hope that helps !

I leave that copy with the host of the show so she can sort the orders and I keep the consultant copy for myself as a hard copy just incase my computer crashes.
 
The host gets the receipt that says "Host/Home Office" to give it to each guest with their products. you get the last one that says "consultant copy" to keep for your records. If you order something for yourself on the host's show, you can't put it under your name. If you order it on the host's order, it will be on the receipt you print up for her, unless you print it up before you add your item.

This may have been a separate show you're talking about, but you can't have September specials on a show dated in August, even if you're submitting it in Sept. All the stoneware specials have a special item number associated with it...a "G" with the last three digits of the regular stoneware item number after that. You would list the sale price on the receipt, as well as the special item #.

Hope that helps! I tried typing a response earlier but the whole dang thing froze up on me. Hopefully this one will work. :o

You guys have been a great help. I really appreciate it. The response about specials leaves me to another questions. If her show is in august she still get the august specials even if I submit in September, right? Hopefully because I'm putting it in tonight. Wish me luck with pampered partner tonight..haha.. I may be back on tonight looking for help.
P.S. How do I get all my info to pop up under my name like everyone else does?

Thank :)

Yes, as long as the show is still DATED as an August show, you have until September 30th to submit it and they'll get the August specials.

To do your "signature" at the bottom, click on "User CP" up there and "Edit Signature" and I think that's how you did it. I did mine so long ago, I forget exactly.

I'm definitely closing the party by sept 30th. Hopefully as long as pampered partner doesnt give me a hard time it will be closed tonight.
