I have a new recruit that will be joining in either late August or early Sept. I'd like to help her out with some supplies to get started (esp. mini-catalogs for invites). What would you put on supply order to help a new recruit off & running?
 
I would include some recipe cards. I use them more than I do business cards.
 
Recipe cards
SB Cookbooks
I also like the Show Tally Form. I know not everyone uses it, but I've been using it, and my hosts really appreciate all of their info in one place. It's fairly inexpensive ($2.50, I think?).

I tell my new consultants (since most of them have been hosts of mine) to just use the invitations given with their kit to begin their business. I encourage mailing the invites, and using the mini cats. - but not until they have established their business and started earning money.
