Hey guys!
I signed a new gla today and she chose to get her kti in Spanish as she is really escited about doing demos for her Spanish community. She will also be needing English supplies as well. Can she order her booster kit in English even though she got her SSKit in Spanish?
And does anyone have any good input and suggestions for coaching her to be a successful bi-lingual consultant?
 
Have her contact the home office spanish division. they have special programs that they put together just for them! I'm pretty sure she can order supplies however she wants them.

I know up here that if you sign under the spanish division, you enter a whole different lead system (even consultants get leads)! I think there are three different geographical areas, but dont know off hand which ones they are.

I just signed a bilingual set of sisters--but they signed under the english and will just do spanish shows. most people at those shows speak both. but from what i've heard from other spanish consultants is that it is a bit harder to explain our products in spanish than it is in english--so those shows are ...not more difficult but more detailed.

can't give any suggestions as dont have one on one, but would definately have her call ho and talk with them. they can help lead her too!

Funny, I sat with Grace Calderon at the Director's Special Event at NC this past summer and we talked at length about the Spanish market. I just don't remember anything we said cuz it was such a wild night - LOL

Anyone know her email address?
 
it should be [email protected] that's how everybody else's email is. try it and see!

I sat with Valerie who runs the Illinois area and I stupidly never got her card either!!! duh.........


ps, there is an underscore in that address, you can't see it when i originally posted
 
Grace Calderon is NO LONGER with PC. Your inquiries should go to Valerie (AKA: Valeria).
 
FYI - I heard on a tape that any bilingual consultant, no matter what their level, can call HO and be put into the lead system. One of my recruits is bilingual in Arabic and called to be added.
