Well when you do the thing online, it asks for the dates anyway, at least it did when I submitted my application...I think she's good to go that way. She seems pretty reputable, but I just hope she doesn't feel like she didn't get a whole lot out of her party saleswise (I think so far it might have only been $400) and just want a little bit more and then quit. I hope she'll sign up, see how great we are, etc., etc.,

If she's all about products, then continue to encourage her and show her how she can earn products with the promotion and PCD earned in her 1st 90 days. If she works it, she can get the catalog free! Then she'll see her paycheck!
$400 is a good show. =) Hopefully bookings came from it to get her started strong.
Wishing you lots of luck! Congrats! It's exciting, huh?

$400 is not a failed party!
