I got an e-mail yesterday that said they don't have enough HWC totes. The number of consultants who submitted two from 5/1-15 was more than they anticipated. They are working with the manufacturer but probably won't get my bag until the end of June :cry: Sending me a packet of HWC pins in the meantime. Sounds like PC Consultants are selling!
 
That's a wonderful way to look at it, Pat. I'm looking forward to getting mine.
 
WOW that means there a ton of recruiters recruiting new consultants who are performing... which means we have a strong company in THIS economy! That's the BEST advertisement!

That would be a great recruiting angle for the company. We're doing so much business even our own HOME OFFICE didn't anticipate how much business would be done in the first half of May. :D
 
Hey Bobbi you need to send that line to HO. Maybe they could use it in a CN.
 
Thanks to each one of you who have responded! Thank you for being positive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will be very happy when I receive my bag and can't wait to receive my pins!!
 
I was disappointed at first as well but as several people remarked, that means we are selling well! That's okay! I'll be able to use that line you suggested, PCJenni! I'm excited that we are doing well!
 
Oh no so glad I already got mine. My director is probably gonna have to wait. I submitted my 2nd show on the 14th and she did 15th but hasn't gotten hers yet. I think I got lucky!:p Guess it's better I got it in a day earlier than all the rest of last minute peeps!!:)
 
Yep, I was definitely one of the last minute submitters. As a part time cheffer, I worked REALLY hard to get that tote because I love Vera Bradley bags and I wanted a PC version of Vera. Whenever it comes, I'll be thrilled because I earned it!​

Well I'm disappointed because I wasn't so lucky. My shows were submitted on the 8th and the 13th-neither were on hold and I am on the waiting list. I was very unhappy yesterday to get the email that I had to wait. I really didn't want any HWC pins but I'll take them. I can't wait for my tote.
I'm glad everyone was able to put a positive spin on it. At least it's a sign that business is good:love:
 
Well, Beth, you'll probably be one of the next ones to receive your bag.
 
I submitted my shows on the 9th and 12th - my bag arrived on Sat (16th). Sounds as if I must have submitted my shows just in time.
 
Now I am totally curious on how many of those bags they did have and just how good is business? Awesome to all of you who did earn them, that is great! Linda, you gonna take yours to China this summer? Remember, they said you never know who or where your next recruit or host may be!
Make sure you take a picture of our Santoku!

I submitted my shows on the 8th and the 15th, so I'll probably be one of the only ones to get mine. Oh well, I'll get my Deep Covered Baker next week, so I'm stoked about that!
