Kit Enhancement Credit: Explained for Newbies

[pchefjaime]

Ok so I am still new and learning, What is a kit enhancement credit that I see people talking about?

 

[chefann]

Kit enhancement is your 4th month after starting or April all other years. Consultants can place one kit enhancement order that month and receive 40% off the retail price of the items they order. There are some other stipulations that are outlined in the Policies and Procedures document (on Consultant's Corner).

So new consultants cannot order it right away? My recruiter sent me the flyer. I just assumed I could do it when I sign up next week....wrong again, eh?

There's a Supply Booster that I think you're talking about, Dena. That's a separate program. And as a new consultant, you will earn Pampered Chef Dollars (PC$) in your first 90 days, that you can spend on any non-commission order (other than the booster): personal order, supplies, samples, kit enhancement.

A breakdown...

• New consultants can EARN Pampered Chef Dollars in their first 90 days. There are bonuses for earning them in the first 30 days.
• All consultants also EARN points toward the annual incentive trip. We get 1 point per dollar sold, plus points for recruiting or for qualifying as a new recruit (4 shows or $1250 sales).
• This fall, all consultants can EARN points toward Pan-o-Rama by selling cookware between August 1 and November 30. We get 1 point per dollar RETAIL for all cookware sold (personal, supply, sample and kit enhancement orders don't count). We can redeem those points before December 31 for free cookware.
• New consultants who sign between Aug. 13 and Sept. 17 will receive a BONUS of the 29 Minutes to Dinner cookbook in their kit. They can also EARN the 8" SS Saute pan if they qualify by October 31. If they earn the saute pan, their recruiter will EARN 500 additional points for Pan-o-Rama.
• New consultants may PURCHASE the New Consultant Booster, which is a collection of supplies. There's an order form in the kit that must be mailed in. You have until the end of your 60 days to get it in. It's a great deal.
• New consultants may PURCHASE products on a Kit Enhancement Order during their 4th month. They may use PC$ to pay for the order. There are specific rules about what may be ordered on a KE order, check the policies.
• All consultants may PURCHASE products on a Kit Enhancement Order in April. If they have any, they may use PC$ to pay for the order. See the policies.
• All consultants may PURCHASE new product samples at 50% off retail until the end of the first month of the new season. This time is extended for new consultants who were not signed when the samples were made available. New consultants have until the end of their 6th week to order samples. Anyone may use PC$ to pay for samples.
• All consultants may PURCHASE products on a personal order at any time. They receive a discount that varies based on their consultant level. See the policies. PC$ may be used on personal orders.

Wow! Never knew there was so much we could take advantage of, did you?

All consultants may PURCHASE new product samples at 50% off retail until the end of the first month of the new season. This time is extended for new consultants who were not signed when the samples were made available. New consultants have until the end of their 6th week to order samples. Anyone may use PC$ to pay for samples.

I need to qualify before I may order the samples?

Is this the same kit? (Im done disecting.....just curious!)

 

[chefann]

You do not need to qualify before you order samples.

The 4th month and April Kit Enhancements are similar, but they have slightly different rules. The 4th month KE has a stipulation that you cannot order anything that came IN the kit. There's also, both times, a limit of one per item per KE month, and a max of $500 at full retail.

 

[ginamkiely]

I don't THINK you need to qualify before ordering samples. The Kit enhancement is ANYTHING in the catalog at 40% off

Thanks so much, Ann....

Im going over my recruiter's Thursday night for training and signing next Thursday. I cannot wait.....

 

[pchefjaime]

thanks to all of you. I am glad I was not alone in the confusion

It may have been said but the supply booster (the one that's $36 and has to be mailed) can be ordered at any time within the first 60 days - you do not have to be qualified to do that.
