I have a consultant who submits a $1000 every six months on the dot. Well, this time she submitted it November 1 instead of October 31 when October 31 was her 6 month deadline, so she's being told she has to buy the mini kit to start over. Does anyone know if she can order it today or does she have to wait for some "official" notification of her status with the company? She's on hold with career solutions but it's taking forever so I thought I'd throw it out here to see if any of you have dealt with this.Oops sorry about the title! I was typing too fast.

Bummer that you guys don't have that!No, our people do not have to wait for anything from your corporate office. She can sign back up now on your team. She'll probably get a new consultant number which means she'll have to have a new account on her P3 software. Make sure she builds a new user vs deleting all her previous data! She'll probably still want access to all of that.

Hey, she's almost to qualifying! So make sure she understands that with re-signing she also gets to start over with New Consultant Rewards. Now's a GREAT time for her to hit the ground running, earn as much as she can with the NCR & get that booking snowball rolling for her business! It's all downhill from there.

What new announcement? You guys have different stuff in the US..... 
Good point about the New Consultant Rewards - she'll be happy about that. She'll never do more than what she's doing now though - this is why she joined - just to sell to her friends and family and get free stuff....

They just extended our 50% Kit Rebate offer until the 6th, due to snow storms & power outages on the East Coast that apparently made it hard for some to sign by the Oct 31st deadline. Rather than trying to figure out who did/didn't qualify, they just made it an across-the-board extension for all US Consultants.
