Who May Find This Useful

Consultants interested in understanding the new Consultant Kit and the rewards program may find the shared experiences and viewpoints relevant to their own situations.

I wonder if we would be able to buy that tote seperately.
That is SAWEET!
 
The kit is going up to $155?
 
yep- with more products in it and premade hostess packets!
 
I am hoping that maybe they will let us normal consultants buy the "premade" hostess packets ... it would save me tons of time. All I would add would be my own personal stuff and give it to them. I personally like things that are streamlined and have a slick look.But the bad thing ... I have to buy ALL new recruiting material, especially the brochures and stuff that had the products pictured on the back. :P I haven't even used all the ones I got for fall/winter!!
 
Well, they'll put a packet of recruiting info in your changeover kit. You may be able to make those last...

You can always leave the old ones around town, at least it might make someone call for info and then you could tell them about the changes.
 
In the UK you only have 30 days to earn your first super starter bonus, and I'm kinda surprised they changed the US rules. Seems like a lot of people liked those extra few weeks to get their business going and get more bookings.
 
Oh those hostess packets would be great. I know when I started, that is what takes so much time and causes so much fear is just not knowing what in the heck to do at shows for packets and guests and just having no clue. We are suppose to make this look easy. It is pretty easy doing a show...but it can get pretty involved if you want to treat your hosts and guests like Royalty.

That would be great. I HATE making those up. I always say I am going to sit down and make a bunch up but I never do. I make them as they are booked. And keep one extra with me to take to shows in case of a quick booking.
 
is there a pic of the new enhanced kit around?? For $155 I am just curious?
 
What comes in the premade host packets?
 
are there always this many changes when a new catalog comes out? or just the one in March? I started in Sept. and feel a little overwhelmed with all the new stuff. If we met the thing to get a new spring product for submitting 2 shows by 12/15 will we get to choose it or will they send it to us?
 
They will send you the promo item, it's been said its the new trifle bowl.

That's my point exactly. In fact, that's been a point that I've been telling my potential recruits. I wonder when these changes are going into effect? Maybe they can slip in under the wire. :(

There is always changes to the catalog, but not to the SS kit.

The December Incentive they will send the product. On most incentive unless it is PC Bucks they send you the products that are offered for the incentive, you do not get to pick.
 
Must have picture... hehe
 
This is great news for me and I don't care about the price increase as long as it's better than it was before!
 
So is a new consultant going to have to pay 150? rather than 90?

Yep. If they sign Jan 22 or later. There's always the Kit Credit, right?

At this point I don't think we have details on anything related to kit credit. Most of us are assuming (bad us) that the kit credit is staying the same but I believe we have nothing from PC about it one way or the other.
 
That would be great if they allow you to pay for the entire kit with credit, I know that I did the max from my show, but would have loved to have done the entire $90!

I can't even contain my excitement about jump starting my business this year! I just wrote a couple of emails to my recruit leads, and told them a little bit about the new kit. One has already written me back, saying, "Thanks for the heads up. I'm going to talk to my husband and see if we have the money to start. Its just $155, right? Hopefully I will be able to get started soon."

Yay!

Would you mind sharing the letter?
 
We are so disappointed that we have spent hundreds of dollars investing into our businesses to attend Leadership Summit and then find before we can even get home to excite our teams ourselves all these great announcements have been leaked and even some we don't even know about yet have been plastered all over this website!!!. Eyebrows have been raised on this one! We here at the Summit won't be surprised if announcements will ever be released again in any way before we can tell our teams ourselves. I have only one word for all of you that feel you have to spread this news when you know the company goofed in releasing it.... disappointing!
 
I am kinda nervous about the whole kit credit thing. Being a newer consultant it is already hard enough for me to get recruits let alone having it pushed up $65 dollars. I mean the people that I see this company geared towards is; working moms, people who need extra money and what not. However, if they are struggling to get the 90.00 what is it going to be like when they are faced with 150?

Are we doing something wrong that I don't know about???? I thought most of us, point out that we can't attend....well I am new, so I have no idea what I am talking about, just don't know what is going on.:(

When your director gets home from Leadership, I'm sure she'll share all the POSITIVES with you.
 
My director is home..and she is wonderful...and I think the new kit will be wonderful..and this site has helped me more than anything EVER....
Nothing is usually ever posted on here negative. Everyone is warm and friendly and AWESOME.......so I am a bit confused!!!
 
YOu know what I am going to do though Jill. I am going to have the recruit buy the 155.00 kit and then if she qualifies in her first month I will give her back 55.00. That is what my recruiter done for me and I loved it. :D Thanks!!!

OOOOOOO Great Idea if they qualify..AWESOME!!!!

..I was just confused by this post. It's directors at the summit, so it's directors calling their team giving the info...all excited. I guess I don't understand if something was done wrong by posting the info given by the directors.:(

For me I don't think so. I am too a bit confused on everything and my director is at Leadership. I haven't heard from her, and I haven't been with her THAT long to be chummy chums with her yet. So I am glad that I have everyone else to help me out ya know?!
