Explain Co-Host Stuff to Me? and Some Shipping Questions?

[brendaziz]

Alright, so if someone is a co-host. I know that they are able to purchase the host special if the 1st host doesn't want it.
What else can they do?
Can they get the 50% items and the FREE split with the host as well?
I'm not sure how to do this in P3.

Also, I think that this ? has a no answer- but just checking-
If a host wants to give a gift to someone w/ her free product credit and wants to have one of their items they purchase shipped to them, is it possible to ship a host's free item to a different person? even if we pay shipping?

Thanks!

There's a checkbox in P3 to indicate whether a guest is actually a co-host. When you check that, the program will recognize them as eligible to share the host benefits.When there's a co-host, all the show benefits are split between the host and the cohost. How they do that is up to them. There are no additional benefits, so they only get 1 (or 2, if earned) host bonus. And the show will be shipped to the person listed as the primary host (not the cohost).Hosts can't split their orders to go to separate shipping addresses.

Hosts can't split their orders to go to separate shipping addresses.

I recently learned that the co-host can choose to have her order direct shipped if she pays the extra charge.

that's awesome to know!

Thank you both for the helpful info.
And Noorak- how do you do this in P3??? Thanks!

I have not done it myself, but from what I understand, you choose the "Ship to Shipping Address" option, just as if you would for another guest.

But that would be shipping the whole order, not just part of it that she wants to give as a gift. Right?

Yes, the whole Co-Host order. The other guests and Primary Host's orders would still go to the other Host's address. But, if there in reality is just one host who wants to gift a part of her FPV to someone, this is a way to do it.

Can there be a co-host on a catalog show? There doesn't seem to be a way to add one in to do the invites on-line?

Nope, unfortunately you can't.

Quick co-host question! I have a couple of co-host shows coming up. One is tonight actually. So they split the free products and half price products right?? They both are eligible for the discount?? Can they both order the host special?? Lastly do they both get free shipping or just the primary host?? I hope I get an answer quickly!!

if sales qualify for two hostess items, can they each have one? Or only one of them can get hostess items?

Thanks! I had been told that they both could order the hostess special. I hope I don't have any upset hosts/co-hosts. Not every month gives the option for choose 2 hostess specials right??

Yes, when it's a month where two items can be earned they may each choose an item.

And they can split the free product value any way that they want! 50/50, 20/80, etc. Any combination that they both agree on. If one of them wants to take 100% of the free stuff and the other one wants all the 1/2 priced items they can do that too. As long as they are both happy and you are not trying to exceed the benefits earned on the show you are good to go. To be fair, I usually show them what each would have earned if they split the sales that they collected. If one collected $700 and the other only collected $200 in orders, then it's really not fair for the $700 host to get less than $140 in Free Stuff. So far, the handful of co-hosts that I've had have agreed on that concept.Always read the fine print on the bottom of your monthly host flyer. It will explain any variations of the rules. The normal special is one item off the host flyer at 60% off. On the select months where 2 items can be earned with a certain level of guest sales then 2 can be ordered - both on the same order or one each order - whatever is agreed upon between the two co-hosts. If the co-host is doing direct shipping, they WILL have to pay for the direct shipping rate! One of the girls on my team figured out that one the hard way ... I think it was $24 or $27 in shipping charges because of the subtotal of what the co-host was ordering!

I told my hosts that I have a past host who doesn't want her host special. So I am letting them have it. Whichever one wants it will have to pay shipping.

I recently learned that the co-host can choose to have her order direct shipped if she pays the extra charge.

And FYI, if she has it direct shipped she pays shipping on the free and discounted stuff too. I recently had a co-host who had to pay the shipping as though she was a guest without any discount (she got the stuff at the discount though). She didn't get any of the half price items so I don't know about that.
