ifI Add to Host Party--Can I Have the Extra $30 Reward?

[chefjwr]

I have a hostess who has $34 to the next reward level of $500. If I add the $34, can I receive that extra $30 in Hostess Reward in Products? Is that ok to do since she is not going to be using it? This hostess has been quite frustrating for me and I just want to end with a positive spin. Does the hostess know if you do this or do you just tell the hostess that you have an order coming in on hers and then pick it up?

You can always have the order delivered to you and no one is the wiser. It will show up on her computer receipt, so just print hers before you add the rest of the stuff.

As a customer service, you could divide and bag all her guest items, then drop it off at her house.

I'd say, go for it!

If you add the items you want from the FPV as a co-host order, then they WON'T show up on the host's receipt. However, there's still the issue of them being in the shipment, which is easily solved by either paying for direct shipping on that order, or having the show shipped to you (as suggested above).

Good point Ann! I forget about the co-host option.

Sometimes you order things for yourself under the hostess ordering and just tell your hostess that there will be an order for yourself included in her order. Then I just pick up from her when it is convenience. If you bump the party total up and there is extra hostess reward, does your hostess know the difference between the items that are just an order you put on and items that came as part of the hostess reward program? Is it all listed together except for the packing list for the guest? Does she know if you bought at a discount on her order or if the itmes came as part of the hostess reward? Frankly, my hostess had a hard time using the hostess credit she had.

She does NOT know if it was free or just discounted. She'd have a list of what you ordered (either on her packing slip) or as a co-host (if delivered to her).I just let my host know that I'm adding something to her show and give her a list of what I need. Much of the time, it's orders and WELL as something I got. Plus, if she doesn't use her 1/2 price or host benefit, I'll tell her think gifts or if someone wants it, great. Otherwise, I'll take advantage of it b/c I don't want to waste it. Usually these are hosts I know well though.

You guys!

We are not supposed to be ordering for ourselves on host orders. Of course, if we are purchasing a gift for the host or one of her guests as a promotion that we are personally offering that is another story but the host benefits are for the HOST.

I know people do it all the time but it is not ethical and is against PC policy. PC is SOOOOOO generous to us and to our hosts - let's not ruin that by taking advantage of them.

And it is not a good way to train those who are brand new.

Off soapbox now.

Thanks Beth. Just not sure of the rules yet. Thanks to all who offered advice.

Silly question, but why would you spend $34 to boost her sales only to get $30 in free products?

 

[jlevernier]

You would have $64 worth of product for $34 plus the comission on the $34.

Good answer, sometimes I should just smack myself. It's the simple things that I question the most

Keep asking questions, that's the way we share information!

Thanks Beth! PC is so good to us and it is frustrating to see consultants "working it" for their own personal benefit. We all have great personal discounts and if consultant choose to abuse our benefits and the host benefits, they one day might decide to re-think what they offer us. We have an AMAZING host program that is FREE to consultants. Other DS companies require the consultant to pay for the host benefits out of their own pockets! PC is sooooo good to us! Please don't use them. And there really aren't a lot of rules & regulations placed on us! Just think it through and do the right thing. Thanks for reading!
