i have a lady who is hosting a feb party - but we will not be submitting it until march as it is right at the end of the month. how does this work for discontinued items? can she still order them even though it will be after the cutoff date or should we order them beforehand? and how does it work for the guests? can they still order these items even though the show will be submitted after feb 28?:confused:
 
You can from what I understand. You have until the last business day of the next month to submit the previous months shows. I think.
 
Yes, The show information (sales/ discontinued items) go by the show date and must be turned in by the last day of the following month always. The consultant specials go by the month they are turned in *(or now you have till the 5th or so for consultant promos) but your commission goes by the actual month submitted as well as old super starter program.
 
You will want to keep an eye on Weekly Bytes through February so you can note any items that are gone by her show. Sometimes at the end of the selling season the warehouse runs out of the items that are being discontinued.

I offer to put in a catty show in Feb with the discontinued stuff, and the cooking show in March with new stuff. It is pretty easy to get to $150 with the discontinued products.
