Sheila said:I think they should offer a "no kit" option for the ones who already have a big selection of products and/or have been a past consultant! Just my 2 cents.![]()
Sheila said:Oh, I totally agree that they shouldn't be using the discontinued stuff. But I've had a couple of people join my team who have been consultants in the last year or two, have most (if not all) of the stuff in the new kit and don't need it or the mini. If all they need is the measuring spoons, it's cheaper to just buy those. But with the current plan, they have to buy more products to start again, even if the kit products are all duplicates. Even if it's just a temporary deal, I still think it would be nice to offer the no-product kit for those who would benefit from it.
DebbieJ said:I love having duplicates! Then I don't have to empty my kitchen cabinets each time I pack for a show. My kit is always packed! Six years in, I now have a closet that is kit products only. I love it! Then my hubby doesn't wonder "where is the pizza cutter?" when I'm out doing a show and he is serving frozen pizzas for dinner.
So that new consultant would start off at an advantage!
