I have a friend from Mexico that would love to order. Besides having it shipped to me and then shipping it to her, is there a way to get her an order? Basically what I'm asking I guess is, does PC ship out of the country?
No, you cannot do this. However, PC now sells in Mexico, so she can search for a more local consultant (or, become a consultant herself - but, she wouldn't be able to sign under you).
I'm guessing people in Mexico become Consultants the same way we do . . . go to a show, fall in love, sign up. Or, look for something they can do from home, and sign up online. I don't actually know the details, though.
What would happen if you move to Mexico? That's a good question. No problem moving to a different state, and keeping your business, but I don't know if you'd have to resign if you move to Mexico. You would not be able to keep your U.S. customers, though.
If you can recruit someone bi-lingual, that would be awesome. From I discern, they'd have a wonderful opportunity, because there aren't very many Hispanic Consultants. I believe that's why PC is pushing the Mexican-themed parties so much.
PC operates as separate entities in the different countries they are in. We are not allowed to market our business outside of our respective countries, but we can earn a referral award if a we refer a consultant in one of the countries who signs up. There are details of that in the Policy Guide.
If you were to move into another PC country (not within the military), you'd probably have to re-sign up and start over.
SOFA (Status of Forces Agreement) Personnel and other US Citizens with military shipping addresses count as US sales. But if you are selling to a non-U.S. Citizen in another country, accepting the shipment for them & then mailing it to them, you could be facing Customs issues. So be careful! There would also be warranty issues since the sale was made under the table.
You can also be a referral for someone who lives in another country. So, you can refer someone in Mexico to sign up to become a consultant, and you get a referral bonus for doing so. (I think it's the same $$ as the recruiting bonus)
