Isn't that bizarre? I had that happen earlier this Month - a $2.75 product, and paid over $6 in shipping for it. I think I'd add something to my order, just to make it worth the shipping!

This is a great one... the customer calls and says she needs to make a change to her online order and can I do it because I'm the one she ordered with... I explain that she ordered directly, not through me, but I'm happy to help with anything as I am the consultant HO referred.

She needed to add to her order (of 1 Southwestern Seasoning) because she couldn't find the Garlic Garlic in our catalog. I'm told her that is TS and not PC.

{{{Crickets}}}

Then she says, "How do I cancel my order?"

I told her to call HO directly and they could help her. :p

Colleen...this post made me laugh...especially the "crickets" part!!! Thank you!
Maybe PC should come out with a product called "Better than Garlic Garlic":D

I never have any luck with HO Leads that are "interested in purchasing products", they usually want something fixed or an item that is @ $10....until yesterday!

She hadn't been to a party in years and needed some things to help her make salads. Wanted to get a few things for herself and her mom. When it was all said and done, I turned it into a catalog party for her. She ordered $111.25 for her mom, $62 for her friend, and her host order was $247!!! And, she's having a party with me in late April! Oh how I love free money :love0010:

That's awesome, Lin!!
 
Linda, That is awesome!!!!
 
got a lead this month, emailed because it was 6 am when the lead came through. I received an email back very fast YEAH.... except she wanted to sell me her bling tshirts that she makes. After explaining that we can only purchase logowear from a specific company, she went on and on about what she could make for me! Hello... my website is paid for by me to help ME build my business... not YOU to build yours. Of course she was not interested in purchasing or hosting, but was happy to tell me about all the PC products she has and loves! Good luck lady! Go build your business like I do, one legitimate contact, one show at a time!

Congrats Chantelle & Linda! :DAnd thanks for the reminder that I need to change my address so I can get some Texas Home Office Leads!!! :D
 
My last two HOL's have been home runs (so far). The first one has a Launch Show scheduled for April 4th, and the 2nd one is planning on attending that with me, and signing after the show also. The 2nd one is a former consultant who wants to re-sign, but her previous upline is no longer with PC. She already has shows scheduled for April & May!!!

WooHoo! Way to go Becky!!!
 
UGH! I woke up at 4am and what shot into my head is that I think I'm going to lose my HO Leads! :yuck:

My sales are fine but my last recruit was December. So will I lose them April 1st?
 
I think it is four months PRIOR to the current month so it would be December, January February and March. You would lose them in May I believe.

Anyone else know for sure?
 
Thanks Lynette! I recruited 2 in December and will mostly likely be signing one in April. I have an issue with one that wants to sign but don't want to totally hijack this so I'm off to start a new thread...Thanks for your help! :)

Lynette is right. You have to have a new recruit in Dec, Jan, Feb or March to get HO Leads in April. If you don't recruit by the end of April, you'll loose them in May. ;)
