ok - so I am ordering my kit tomorrow (yay!!!) and was told by my consultant that it should take about a week or so to get it delivered...so let's assume August 23rd is when I should receive it - give or take a day.

When does my 30 days actually start? I have a friend who wants to book her party on September 18 and so I'm not sure if that would be considered within my "first 30 days"? Do I have to have the show CLOSED before a certain date within those 30 days? How does this all work?

Also (unrelated question to above) - just so I'm clear too (not that I'm counting chickens before they hatch) but paydays are twice a month, correct? how does that all work? Thanks!!!
 
Your 30 days will probably start after you get your kit. They give you a few grace days. In order for a show to count towards your first 30 days it must be both HELD and SUBMITTED during that 30 day time frame! If you're ordering your kit tomorrow, I'd try to have a few other shows booked before that Sept 18th show, just to ensure you get those free fall products!!
 
I just had a new consultant sign yesterday and her 30 day end date is 9/16. Delivery to us is usually 2 days and to you is probably 1 day so if they take that into consideration, if you sign tomorrow yours will probably be 9/17. As was said, you not only have to hold but also submit the shows by that date to qualify.

If your friend isn't able to move her show sooner, it's okay. You'll need shows beyond the 30 days too! Note: she won't get the extra gift they give hosts of shows that are held in the first 30 days. Your other option would be to wait a couple days so she's in the window. Do you have other shows booked already? What is the date of your first one?

Congratulations and good luck with your new business!!


ETA: We get our commission checks twice a month. Sales submitted the first through the 15th are paid on the 22nd and sales for the 16th through the last day of the month are paid on the 8th of the following month. The mid-month paycheck is based on what you've sold so far and the end of month (8th) check is figured with all sales for the month minus the amount already paid to you minus $2 for insurance and anything else that might be added or dedcted that month (always explained on the statement). I believe new consultants only get a month end check the first month (on the 8th).
 
We get paid on the 8th and 22nd of each month.The 22nd is for all shows submitted on the 1st-15th of the month.
The 8th is for all shows submitted on the 16th through the last day of the month.If the 8th and 22nd fall on a weekend, we get paid that following Monday. (like this month - the 22nd is on a Sunday, so we're paid on Monday, the 23rd)********When you get your welcome letter (email?) it will give you the beginning and ending dates for your first 30 days. If you sign tomorrow, the 18th will be Verrrry close to the end of your 30 days. Here in MI, when consultants sign up, they have their kit the next day, and their 30 days usually starts a couple days after that. Being in Indianapolis, I would imagine it would be about the same for you.

It takes a week if you're in a 5 day shipping zone from Home Office, but you would have to be in a 1-2 day zone. They do an EXCELLENT job of getting those new consultant kits out ASAP. If you ordered tomorrow, you'd have it Friday or Saturday.
