Do you think it is more advantageous for a new consultant to sign in Nov. or Dec.?
 
December ...Dec recruits get an EXTRA 30 days to their contract...they get 60 days as their first month!!! Check out December Consultant News ~
 
I agree with December! What ever product they could have possibly earned this month, they could always buy with their PC$ later. Plus, they may not even get $1000 in their first thirty days with the holidays and such, so there is no guarantee that they would even earn it. December's special is guaranteed!
 
December here too! I know my Recruit almost wishes she had waited till December 1st because she is really struggling getting those first 4 shows. She had 2 people (Mom and MIL) back out but MIL has had major hernia problems and I understand that. She also thought she had a Vendor booth at her child's school but the organizer gave it to another consultant after talking with my Recruit. That really upset her. She is having her Grand Opening December 12th and I am going to see what I can do to help her make it a huge success. She also had one lady that was at one of my Cooking Shows she helped me at that was her cousin. The lady said at the time she would be glad to do a Show for her so hopefully we can pull that off. I think a lot of people have been putting her off (like they have me) because of Thanksgiving coming up!
 
I just saw the December special in the Consultant News. I thought this was by far one of the best signing specials that PC has done when it came out last year. I'd love to see some numbers so I can relay to a potential recruit how GREAT this special is and why they need to sign THIS MONTH!! So... those that signed or had recruits that signed in December - how did you do? What did that extra month mean to you?
