I'm loving this! I was SO excited when I returned from NC! I told my boyfriend that he should go with me next year just to see the excitement, the recognition, the support and of course the networking with successful consultants from across the nation! :chef:

He just announced to me that he wants to join my team! :love: He loves to cook as much (if not more) than I do and has become one of my best customers since we met in February. He will be retiring from the Army next May and is currently seeking employment, but when he found out the income potential with TPC, he said to sign him up!
 
Wow! Congrats!
 
That's AWESOME!!! Congrats! Whoooo Whoooo!!
 
That's awesome! My boyfriend is considering it too, but we decided to wait this year because it's so late in the year. When I earn the cruise, if he's a consultant, I won't be able to take him! So we're going to wait until January - that way he can earn the trip as well!!
 
Congrats!!!
 
That is just awesome!
 
If you live at the same address I don't think he can sign up under you. Good point about the trips!!

We don't live together. We live in two different cities and I already know I won't earn any incentive trips this year, so I 'm not worried about that. I had to ask him if he was really serious, and yes he is! lol

Yah!! Congrats!!
 
What happens if they would ever get married? Would one of them have to give up their job?

GAK!! I'm not ready for marriage! LOL Been there, done that! Him too...:yuck:
 
Okay, not necessarily you 2 but just 2 consultants that meet on the street. What happens then?

good question. I guess you both have to earn the incentive trip, right?
 
I believe the policy guide does talk about married consultants. As far as non-married/dating consultants, yes, you'd both have to earn the trip since we cannot take another consultant on a trip you earn. Not sure how they'd handle it in that case. you could always call and ASK, but why not BOTH earn it. ;)
