Hello all. I have signed on my first consultant. Driving home, I decided to give her the first year of Chef Success as my thank you and also to help her get started.

I mentioned this to my AD and she thought it was a good enough idea to share with all! I have learned so much here that I want my recruits to have the best training possible!

Blessings, CK
 
I like your idea. I think i will consider doing it too.

Thanks,
 
I thought about it, but I had already started a thing where when they qualify I buy them 500 Merrill Business cards to help get their business up & off the ground. They seem to like that, so I stuck with it.But I definitely agree that there is lots of useful information here! I talk about this site all the time & have it as my "web address" on FB! LOL
 
I've been throwing around the idea of using CS as a signing gift.
I also was pondering the idea of doing a New Consultant Gift Package that includes:
Bank Bag and Calculator from Merrill and a 1 year subscription to CS.
 
I've given a 1-year membership to CS to each of my recruits. Since I get so much from this site, I consider it an investment in their success.
 
How do you gift the subscription? Is there an option to sign up as if its a gift?
 
Go to User CP. Click on Paid Subscriptions. Near the very bottom of the page there's a place to click if you want to donate a subscription. Just follow the instructions there.
