Can we order the Pumpkin Dish? I thought consultants can order the Guest Special the month before. I can't figure out how/where to do it? Any suggestions?
Thanks!

When you have a personal order of $60 or more AFTER the discount, then you can get the freebie. (Policies and Procedures, page 10)
 
Does KE count as a Personal Order? :-)
 
No. Personal orders are a different order type than KE orders.
 
Can you just order it to pay for it? I am willing to pay if I could find a product code for it.
 
I thought you could order it on the supply order the month before.

No, there's no way for us or customers to pay for the dish on its own.

Only a limited number of products are available on supply order. We can get the monthly special as part of a personal order.

From page 10 of the policies:
Early Purchase of Guest Specials

In order to have a sample to demonstrate, Consultants can purchase most Guest Specials (but not Host Specials) the month prior to the promotion (as well as the month of the promotion) on a personal order. See the monthly promotions flyer for specific details. Guest Specials are assigned a unique order number for the month of the promotion.

To order a Guest Special on a personal order:
  • Fill out a sales receipt, checking the box for a personal order. Write in the Guest Special in the designated area; you must use the assigned Guest Special product number.
  • In the month prior to the promotion, only one early Guest Special can be purchased.
  • If the Guest Special has specific purchase requirements, the Consultant must meet the requirements after the discount has been taken to take advantage of the special.
  • Example: Spend $60 and receive the Ice Cream Dipper free! If the Consultant wants a free Ice Cream Dipper, she or he must spend $60 (after the personal discount) to receive the item free.
  • NOTE: In the example above, if the Consultant simply wants a sample of the Ice Cream Dipper, we recommend that she or he order it using the regular product number and purchase it at the normal personal discount.
