HO confirmed that today. I have a open catalog show on my website that people can order from. I didn't realize until I talked to home office that I would have to enter those orders by hand. But that is fine. I'm hoping to close the other 3 catalog shows and my catalog show in the next week so that I can become qualified. Even if they are small shows I can atleast get them submitted and become qualified and go from there. Thank you again to everyone that has been so helpful and encourging.
 
I feel your pain about the HWC stuff. Since I"m not fully qualified yet, people can order them from my PWS either. The HWC logo was on my page yesterday, but then it got taken away today. It really confused a lot of customers.
 
I am sorry that you are having to suffer along with me. They really should have been more clear in their mass email to everyone. Or perhaps they should have only sent it to consultants that were qualified and this would have not caused so much confusion.

Thank you all for your help.

A quick update:
I had 2 bookings because of the mass emails I sent out about the pink items. However due to the fact that they can not view and purchase these items from me I have lost those bookings. One of the lady's and I use the term loosly got really nasty with me and told me that a smarter consultant woud have verified things before emailing them out. And since I was not competent enough to do so that she would take her business elsewhere. Nice huh? Come to find out it wouldnt have mattered anyways because they could not be counted towards the show sales.

I did call HO this morning and talked to a supervisor. She agreed that the email was misleading and she was going to talk to who ever is in charge of the verbage on these emails and have them call me back. I am still waiting on somone to call me back. They were supposed to do so before 11pm. It is now past that so I'm guessing they didn't have time to call me back. However, I did finally get ahold of my director. She is also not happy with the situation. She apologized for not contacing me sooner and cleared up some of my other concerns.

Good grief...many of us have our stories to tell of things that happened because we were not informed... so sorry about yours. Just stick with it... and I agree to post questions here and read this site regularly.. I have found out so much great info to help my business... I'm glad you connected with your upline.. be a squeaky wheel. We have to learn to ask questions. and ask for help. As far as the lady who got mad at you.. she was probably frustrated about something else and took it out on you. So sorry for that.. dust yourself off and find someone else that will appreciate you and then give them a bang up show!!
 
thank you, I'm going to try to give this my best shot. I'm working on trying to get host packets together and I'm assembling my kit. I was at a candle party Friday night and I was talking to a lady that used to be a PC consultant. She offered her left over invitations and some other misc paper work. She gave me the tool turnabout tote and then asked if I would be interested in buying the the tote on wheels for $40. The set that is $90. I agreed so while she was digging it out of her garage she came across a messenger bag, a stoneware tote that hold 2 flat stones, and a dome shaped one that holds either the rectangle or round one when you have food on it. All of these with the PC logo. So I got all of that for only $40. Not bad huh and they all look brand new. I'm really hoping this takes off before my hubby comes home. I would be happy doing 1-2 shows a week.
