I'm with you Rae.....I'm not scared of P3, and I am usually the one who loves change! (drives my DH crazy sometimes!) But, I use the reports and labels, etc....too much to change to P3. I'd go crazy not being able to access everything in the reports section of PP!:eek: I was on dial-up until this past week - and it took FOREVER to even log in to P3!
I am concerned because I have a recruit signing next week, and I'm pretty sure she will need alot of guidance at the beginning, and I'm not sure how much I can give her!

PP3- I just switched over & I'm having problems entering the guest special on orders. Anyone else having this problem?


You do it like you would add their order. Hit + and the guest special number. Remember they have to have spent $60 or more in product in order to get the free product.
 
I think most of you know that I am using P3 and love it so far. I've been using it since we got our changeover kit. I love how it lets you know if you missed a special and stuff like that. I am waiting for the reports we want but when I need to refer to something from the past 2 years or so I go to PP and get my info. One good thing for me is that I started 2007 on P3 so anything prior I know to go to PP to get info that is on a report that I might be looking for. Some things I can still get on P3.

I went to submit a show today and I had 3 guest specials that I missed! I wish there was a part that showed how far away from $60 each guest was. It would be easier if I could say "You are only $14.56 away from a free _____. Was there anything else that you were interested in getting tonight to get the free special?"

Wouldn't that be cool?


I think I remember you saying that you enter your orders at shows. If you do you can see their product total as you enter their items on the bottom of that screen and then know to ask if they want to get the special. It's not exactly what you would like I know but at least it's on the same screen.
 
Need another choice!!I would have picked USING P3 MISS PP!!!:(

I love some of the changes, but I hate not being able to run my Director's reports or Total items sold report to find out when a customer purchased a product! Can't wait until we have all of the capabilities in P3 that we had in PP!! :D
 
I am just plain scared. I have added in my show that I will be doing on Sunday but I am not sure if I am ready to take the plunge. If there aren't reports does that mean we won't be able to print out our expenses for taxes?
 
There are expense and income reports, top sell reports, monthly sales diary and a few others, just not as near as many as on PP. And you can't look at a show older than 6 months except for the show summary which doesn't include CC #'s. I told a customer that she didn't have to write down her number because I had it on an old show. I went to get it out of that show and I couldn't view it. I have my records backed up on a CD but my recruit has been using my PP so it was harder to put everything back on than it was to just call her and get the #!!
