Got First recruit YEAH!!!! :D I don't really know what to do next and my director is dealing w/ a family problem. She doesn't want to host a show she just wants to be a consultant now. I have the contract and $$ what do I do from there? How do I order the kit? :confused:
 
Just send in the contract with the check (or CC number). If you have a CC number, you can actually fill out the contract online and it will be processed faster, because it won't have to travel via snail mail.Help your new recruit get some shows lined up - get actual hosts committed to dates. That will help him/her qualify sooner.Answer questions, but don't throw up too much information.And invite him/her to your next cluster meeting.Congrats!

It'll be on the web. There's a link from the public PC site (I think it's under "Join us").
 
I have a recuirt that wants to sign up..... but doesn't want to do her first show until April 21st..... Would it benfit her to go ahead and order her kit and familairize herself with the products?

The old way would have benefitted her (because you always had that buffer month), but now that they have changed the new consultant program (no buffer month), her starter month is going to start the day she receives the kit. So, unless she is willing to lose out on her first starter month it would be best to wait on her kit, but you can train her anyway before then.
 
How long does it take to recieve your kit?

It's a day or two to process the agreement, then whatever shipping time you have from HO to your location.
 
It's been a year..... I couldn't remeber...... and I have been sick for a week doesnt'help matter!!!
 
HO is pretty good about prosessing kits, she'd probably have it in a week to 10 days.
 
OOps, I meant processing...not prosessing.:)
