I have a host having a party ten days from now (Sat. May 20). She was so sad cause no ones coming to her party and she's taking it personally. She wants to have the party (more for socializing than for the products) but is now feeling like a failure. I tried to encourage her to think of other...

Hey ya'll....need a bit of advice. My friend who recruited me was telling me about a show she had this past weekend. I told her to come here and ask you all but I don't think she's made it here yet. She's pretty discouraged. The show yielded no bookings whatsoever, and no interest for...

I have a friend who wants to sign with PC, she's expressed this. However, whenever I discuss it with her she is very passive and won't commit.

A friend of mine who lives in a different state called me with an individual order. Because my state does not have sales tax, I'm NOT used to entering that in as part of a sale. Well, I put her address in the "ship to" field and transmitted the order, WITHOUT adding sales tax. I realized it...
