I am signing up next week and wondered if the first 30 days is counted from "calendar days" or from "business days". For instance, if I sign up on Feb. 2nd, are the "30 days" over on March 2nd? I just wondered because I saw the new consultant incentive.

Thanks!

Congrats on your decision and best of luck on your new business venture. Keep tuned here for great ideas and support...this is a great site.

If you sign on 2/2, your start date will actually be a few days later, based on the arrival of your kit. My recruit in December signed like the 8th or 9th and her start date was 12/16. Then it's 30 days from then...calendar days from your kit arrival.
 
Actually, it's based on when HO *THINKS* your kit will arrive, so do not assume that it will be counted from the day it does arrive. If you sign up o the 2nd Feb they might guess the 7th Feb, but it might arrive on the 6th or 8th. Either way, they will count from their estimated date, and so your 30th day would be the 9th March. You will get an email with the OFFICIAL 30 day date in it. Check it carefully, mark it on your calendar and keep checking it to make sure you don't miss it by a day!

The estimate depends on where you live.

It is calendar days though, not just work days.

Oh, and it doesn't matter if the 30 day date is a weekend or holiday, it is still the last day to submit shows for them to count.

Thank you so much! I really wasn't sure and wanted to try and get that approx. date in my head, so I can plan accordingly.

By the way, I love this site! I have been a "lurker" since November trying to decide whether or not to join...so I am jumping in...just hope it all goes like I want it to! (Yes I am really getting nervous and antsy...sure seems like a long week!)


Again, thank you!!

So if you sign up on February 2nd, your 30 days will end on March 2nd. This is great news for you because it means you can start earning rewards and bonuses right away! And yes, the new consultant incentive is definitely something to look forward to. I'm excited for you to start your Pampered Chef journey and I'm here to support you every step of the way.
