LOL no idea. That was a question being whispered. ;)
 
For us Canadians, the Feb promo is submit $550 in sales and receive the microfibre dish cloth (not in the catalogue) for free. It will also be the Apr guest special.

I have a trifle bowl from the 50's and the lid is glass with a small glass ball at the top. I was hoping that this bowl would be slightly more classy and have a glass lid, but for durability, cant blame them, we are going to be hauling this thig around for the next couple of months...LOL
 
Thank you so much for the CONFIRMED info Laura!! I would hate to call my customers and tell them that something is discontinued from a rumor!!

Need to go through more of my packets and paperwork (and unFRY my brain...). I can't remember for the life of me anything regarding the mid-season products (how to earn them I mean, I know what they are) or the $500 show for Feb thing.
 
Thanks Laura!!

You know what... I'm giving my fence-sitters the choice. The kit is $90 now vs $155 later. Depends whether your new recruits want to choose PC$$ or products chosen for them.
Definately do not wait to get them excited. The whole theme was "THE CHOICE IS YOURS". Give them that, and see what choice they make! :D

But... do NOT sign someone up under the new consultant kit program until they have their first 6 shows BOOKED. The program begins the DAY they recieve their kit! 30 days/90 days to earn all that PC CASH! This new program will help eliminate kit-nappers I think!

A huge deal was "sell the dream, not the deal". I need to do a lot of changing the way I recruit based on that major statement from the Home Office!
 
Hey Laura, is there a list somewhere of what is coming for products in the new consultant SS kit? Thanks for any info...cant wait to get it out there.
 
Does anyonne know what month and what we have to do to earn the midseason products
 
Tell us about Pampered Partner Plus!!
 
yes! Pampered Partner Plus!!!! Pleae Do tell!
Thanks!
 
yes Pampered Partner Plus - and I want to know what all is in the kit. Please!!!!
 
Oh yes, Pampered Partner Plus! I totally forgot about that!:D
 
Thanks so much Laura for all the information. I haven't signed yet but I will sign and start getting my bookings in order now. Now, what do I get if I have 6 bookings? Can 1 or 2 of them be catalog shows?
 
Catalog shows count as bookings
 
Silver Celadon - host your own show - have an Open House - if it does really well, split it into two shows.

Oooh... dunno if you guys got this or not... but the 2 shows submitted on Dec 1-15 earned you the cover product - the new Trifle Bowl. You guys, it's SO AMAZING.
It's three pieces. The bowl part can be used seperately than the stand, and it comes with a LID. And... the stand/lid nests inside the bowl for easy storage. SO TOTALLY AWESOME and a steal at only $39.

This triffle bowl is totally captivating my imagination.

The bowl comes off the pedestal (the stand)?? Does that mean I could use the stand part as an elevated cake plate??? I am so loving this item without even laying eyes on it. That and the fact that I get it FREE!!!

My December sucked, but I am so glad that I hung in there and scrounged up enough to submit 3 little shows.

Triffle bowl.. I know you are out there somewhere, being packed as I type... can't wait to meet you.
