I will be attending a show that booked off of mine in October next week, now that I've signed, will I be able to still do the host discount on the stones, or did I screw myself out of a really good deal on the DCB? The consultant doing the show will be the consultant for the one next week, so I won't be acting as consultant! BUT she's my upline!
 
I believe that as long as you aren't the consultant you'll be fine. If that's wrong I trust that someone with better info will respond. That's one of the things I appreciate about this site. There's always someone who knows more than I do. :)
 
I think it's ok too, but probably best to wait till Ann chimes in on this one. She knows everything!
 
Hmmm... that maybe a question for HO.

Or Beth. She usually has a good handle on the rules.
 
Once you sign as a consultant, you no longer are a "past host".
 
I'm just curious why YOU aren't doing the shows that booked off of yours?

I was actually wondering the same thing, I give my recruits the shows booked off hers, only fair thing to do, and I want to see them succeed. (although it does hurt to lose the shows, heh)

It's my uplines sister, I got the rest of the bookings, but I didn't think it was fair to take her sisters too. Plus, I didn't decide to join until after my party closed.

I'm really bummed about not getting my DCB at 60% off now... guess I'll have to save up my money now... boohoo!

I believe this is correct. You can be a host though and get it at 60% off this month but not a past host. (consultant as host). Also if you go to the show and make a purchase you cannot use your past host discount (correct me if I am wrong).

Hmmmm... was just thinking, if my BFs mother doesn't use her 60% offs (she's a strange one who doesn't like stoneware) maybe I could ask her if I could use it!

Just remember about the warranty issue if there is a problem in the 3 years of getting it how to deal with it. It's a thought and for the price I say go for it if she doesn't take advantage of it!

We get along great! I had to do a lot of butt kissing in the begining though. It took her a long time to open up to me!
