One of the Japan Consultants has a customer looking for a local rep. (military who's moved there). If you are looking at getting into Pendleton, this would be your door. ;)

FYI, I started my career working with only military. YOU HAVE TO HOLD THE SHOW CLOSE TO PAYDAY ... close within 3 days of the 1st or the 15th if you want a smooth closing without declined cards. I promise, you need to remember to do that!!!
 
Hi Sheila, I'm 15 minutes from Camp Pendleton and in fact have a show scheduled there next month. I'd love more customers on base. PM me and let me know how I can help!

I've found out the person making the inquiry is not the one wanting to do a show, she's trying to find a host for another friend. She agrees that the business opportunity will be great for her friend, so we are going to see if she's interested in joining the team. I might end up needed a hospitality director vs a consultant for her! But I'll let you girls know. ;)
 
I PMed you back. Either way it's all good. We have a great cluster that meets in Oceanside so if it turns into hospitality I can help you out with that as well
