I'm looking for some recipes that work great in the rice cooker and micro cookers. I've sold some of these and have been asked for some recipes. I don't own them myself, so I don't know where to even begin, though I do a bunch of cooking in my microwave, just not in those. Anyway, help is...

Good question, Bee! And that can be tricky sometimes. My sister-in-law, whom I'm trying to recruit, sells MK. She gets VERY defensive when I talk to her about MK and compare it to PC. Her biggest hang up is we get a base 20% comission and she gets a 50% comission, and she wants that cadilac...

I'm not that great with numbers, especially percents. Could you explain the 2% is actually 10% for me? :confused: The 2% is 2% of what? I guess maybe an example of a show and how it would look might help. And how does all that relate to the raises we get when we sell so much in a given...

Just a few comments... My Director has recruits all over the country - Hawaii, WA, FL, etc. There are no "territories" and such. So you don't have to worry about that. I have other consultants that go to my church (previous church and present), in my circle of friends, homeschool groups, etc...

Just wanted to say that I LOVE these ideas and I put bath salts in one, Skittles in another, and the Vanilla Sugar idea in a third. I showed them at my show this last Monday and sold 4 sets. :eek: I was going to make a sugar scrub but ran out of time. I'll be doing it this weekend though...

Just making sure I completely understand... Sept $250 October $0 November $150 Dec $75 Would have made someone inactive because Oct-Nov weren't $200, but Nov-Dec are okay because they are? Or would December have to be $200 to become active again? I hope to never get close to toeing that...

I'm noticing my hosts that use the evites get a lot of "No" under viewed, meaning the recipient has not read the e-mail yet. My question is could these be construed as Spam by their e-mail provider and therefore not making it to their inbox? Or maybe they don't recognize the e-mail address so...

This is a WONDERFUL idea that I will be using! My family is BIG on Black Friday deals and we trek to the stores in the wee hours of the morning to stand in line for hours to guarantee we get what we want. Of course, we go for the bigger ticket items like laptops, computer components, certain...

Thank you ladies!!! I have been blunt with her, to a point, maybe I need to be more clear. heh She has been to and hosted other shows (mostly TW, CL, maybe MK) and is familiar with them. We have a really good friend who used to be a Consultant, and so I think she got really spoiled by what...

Well, I used it. I needed copies for my upcoming shows in November. It went from $76 down to $32. :eek: Even the guy who did my copies said "Wow! That's quite a difference! Nice savings!" He asked me about a PO number? Maybe I misunderstood him. I said I didn't know since I just got it in the...

If possible, I'd say both. With a desktop, you can usually put so much more on it, than a laptop. They are more durable and sturdy and if something goes out, it's fairly easy to replace (unlike my laptop screen that has crystals broken in the bottom corner of the screen, which is not fixable...

Is the Office Depot card a discount card, or a card we use to pay for purchases? The wording on the card confuses me. :confused: lol Does anyone know the discount we receive by using it? ~Vicks

How do you handle a host who expects a LOT of "free gifts" for her and her guests? This is a gal who is a PC veteran. She's been to TONS of shows, and hosted a handful as well, so she knows how these things go. She's been to a bunch of Mystery Host ones, where the FPV, 1/2 off items and other...

What a saga! I'm so glad you made it over just fine, Chris. Great advice and stories from everyone else. I enjoyed it. :) I've always had mixed emotions about bridges, suspension ones especially, since we live right by a famous one, at least out this way, The Tacoma Narrows Bridge. It's...

So, Colleen, how did this go?? We're dying to know!! Did she end up showing? Did she heckle you? How'd you handle it? Can't wait to here what happened. I hope she treated you and the guests and host right, and you didn't end up having any issues with her at all. ;) ~Vicks
