Hi I am a newbie and this will be my first season change over for spring 06. I was curious, if after receiving our Dec. sell a thon products (I am at the $175 level free products) -will we be able to order more products through the sample product order form (the same as the Fall/winter 05 form ) I was sent when I started? I would love to order all the new products at that discount if this is the case??

just wondering :confused: :rolleyes:
 
Spring Products at a discountYes you will get a order form in the change over kit.......and you will be able to purchase the new stuff at the discount as well as having the items that you earned.The great thing is when your a director ..you get all the new products FREE anyhow and then through the sell a-thon you can earn another set........and if you still want more you get purchase from the discounted form that will be in the change over kit. Hope that makes sense and helps. :)

Every season (twice a year) PC comes out with a new catalog, some changes in some of the paperwork and new products. We can sell from the new book starting in March (and in September for the Fall/Winter book) but they send us a sampling of any new paperwork, an updated Pampered Partner disk and some catalogs and an order form to order additional paperwork if we need it. It will be sent to you during the last week of January so you can become familiar with it and are ready for the new season's shows. This is what they call the change over kit.

We also get the opportunity to purchase all new products at 50% off (they group them into sets). Of course we can also earn them for FREE - the December sell-a-thon that we're working toward right now is for the Spring/Summer products. Remember that if you submit 2 shows between Jan 1 and Jan 20 you get the new stoneware piece for free too!
 
Did you know?Did everyone see that they are now charging $6 in shipping for the changeover kit? Just remember that the price has increased from $4 to $6! For you newbies out there, this will be a commission adjustment.

Still not too bad for free catalogs and such! Most companies don't give their consultants anything free with the new line! :eek: We are so lucky that PC treats us so well.
 
New Stoneware Piece??What is the new stoneware piece being offered in January with 2 submitted shows?

Pampered Chef sends the Spring Summer change over kit at the end of January. Directors get it about the 25th and Consultants get it about the 28th. It's automatic but they do deduct shipping from our commission - still a great deal!! Most direct sales companies do not do that! For example, Longaberger even charges for their equivalent of Pampered Partner and if their consultants want to use credit cards the consultant has to pay a fee!

They unveil the new line at Leadership. Attendees get one copy of the new catalog and the special edition of KCN and we get to go into the product preview room and "play" with all the new products - such fun! They do all this again at National Conference with the Spring Summer line.
 
I had no idea!I had no idea that whatever spring/summer products we didn't earn in the Dec. sell-a-thon we could purchase at %50 off! This rocks! :D
