Maximizing Unused Host Benefits with Pampered Partner Purchases

[lotsadots]

I've done a quick search and didn't come up with a post that was helpful, so forgive me if I'm starting a thread on something that's been covered.

I'd like to know how when using Pampered Partner (not P3) how I purchase items if a hostess doesn't use them, and they don't show up on their receipt etc? Are they entered as a co-host?

I never figured it out when I was a consultant before, and thought this go around I'd better ask!

I've heard we aren't supposed to do that. But I could be misinformed.

No, consultants are not supposed to use the benefits that a host doesn't want. We've got plenty of opportunities to get things for free by earning them or submitting consultant as host shows.

It always kills me to let host benefits go. I'll try to persuade the host to get whatever they are missing out on, and then save it as a gift for the future. We offer such great products that appeal to all, so getting the host to think of shopping for someone else is always a plus.

I've had people not use the half-price items they earned because they just wanted the free items. I know what you mean about it feeling like a waste. But if you think about the benefits as being a non-transferrable reward (like credit card points or airline miles LOL) it helps reduce that guilt about them being wasted.

Ultimately it's the host's choice and if she chooses to not take the rewards that's her decision. We do not have the right to use those benefits, in fact it is against policy. As has been stated, we get tons of opportunity to get the products free, 50%, 40% off and we can always host our own show and get those same host benefits legally.

If a host doesn't want to use them I do ask if they want to get them as a gift for someone they would buy for anyway in the coming months. I do not suggest that they give them to a friend - I want that friend to book their own show - but I don't stop them from doing that, it's their benefit to do as they wish with - or to not use at all.
