I am a new consultant, and am trying to find my way into being successful. I thought I read somewhere that you can purchase the special for an upcoming month before the month starts to show at your shows. Am I imagining this or is this true? I am going to get out my book to try and see where I found it but any help would be appreciated!!

Thanks.
 
Yes, if there is something on "sale" as the guest special, the month before you can order it on a personal order and get your 20% off of the sale price.

If it is "free" with purchase, you can do that too, but you must make whatever the minimum purchase is on a personal order and then you can get the free item. (Your purchase after your discount would need to be $60 in product in order to get the free seasonings, for example, in March.)

If there's anything else...can somebody correct me?

OH MAN!! How do I keep forgetting about this?

Thanks for starting the thread, and for the answer!!
 
Ditto Jennifer's comment!! How do we do this Kelly? Enter it as a personal order or what??
 
Yup, personal order through PP/PP3!!!PS: If you didn't earn the dish cloths, I advise you too! I got a booking at Thursday's show just because of them!!!
 
Do our personal orders count toward our sales for career sales/recognition/trip purposes? Can't remember!!
 
No, they don't.
 
specialIs the 20% off of the host special price? For example can we buy the trifle bowl at 20% off of the $15.60 price? If so, how do you do this?

We are only able to order the GUEST specials using our discount. In order to get the host special, you would actually have to host a show.

Remember, too- you do not receive commission on host specials (for the current OR past host) nor do you receive commission on 50% off items that the host purchases...You DO receive commission on anything "extra" they purchase using their earned (15-30%) discount. So make sure you are telling them they have this ONE TIME ONLY....UNLIMITED discount to encourage them to order extra!
 
Very well put Kelly!
