My wife and I signed our Consultant Agreement July 22nd. We received our PC consultant number and password three days later via email. Our SS1 is September and I was told our kit would ship today (Aug 2nd) and arrive by Friday.
I would say definetely go to your bank and setup a business checking account so that you will have all of that information ready so you can sign up for your Pampered Chef Debit Card when you first sign on to Consultant's Corner on the PC website. You need a business checking account because the routing number of personal accounts is different from business accounts. In order to get your PC Debit Card, you must have a business account setup. The way it works is that the PC Debit card just deducts money from your business checking account. This way you can send orders in electronically and also keep your personal finances separate.
If you want a website through PC, you need to have your PC debit Card number in order to pay. They don't accept any other types of payment except PC Debit and PC Credit cards. You don't have to wait for them to send you your PC debit card in the mail either! A day or two after you sign up for your PC Debit Card, call PC and get your Debit card number over the phone and you can use that to sign up for your PC Webpage.
I know that this is information overkill, but this is what I have been LIVING the past week and a half!
best of luck to you!

Dexys:
I have been reading your posts and don't worry-- you will be better!!
I am so impressed with your enthusiasm! I never knew PC before I started, it was strictly a business venture. I had goals and am reaching them, so I am always setting new ones! My 5th recruit's Super Starter #1 is Sept, but she is already entering 2 catalog shows, I am only 4 shows away from Directorship. Hopefully it will take effect on Sept. 1st. Not bad for 8 months of business!
My current goal -- I am planning on walking as a Director at Leadership!
I am truly blessed to meet up with such a great group of people here, just remember to share more than you receive (just as in your PC business with recruits) and you will reap the rewards!

Congrats on starting your business! Just so you know, you don't have to have a business account to get a PC debit or credit card. In fact, you can link it to any account. My account is a regular bank account, but I set up an account at a separate bank from our family account so there would be no problem with bounced checks, incorrect deposits, etc. PC just suggests you get a separate account for your business, so as to avoid any confusion. Plus it makes it easier at tax time!

Janice,
Well put - I think our own success is very much related to us helping others succeed and that is where our focus should be. If you concentrate on helping others, your own success will follow. Sometimes it even costs you something, but that's okay because it will come back to you. You just have to think about when you were a new consultant how much you appreciated somebody else giving you great advice or helping you get started in some way. With the new catalog orders starting soon, I've got 3 words of advice -- go, go, go!

I didn't know that! I tried using a separate personal checking account but I couldn't because the routing number didn't start with the numbers that pampered Chef said it needed to start with. So, I assumed that business accounts started differently. hmmm...makes one wonder......
