I know that we used to be able to get name tags from Town & Country, but then I thought that Merrill came out with some - but I'm not finding them on their website. Does anyone know if those are still available? I'm offering name tags to some of my new consultants as a spiff, but ummmmm.....can't find them now!!!:cry:
 
They are on the merrill website. I looked under business builders on there and there is name badges.

Ahhhhh....thank you!!! I looked under Business Enhancers!
 
I bought one last fall just before I did some booths. Those were offered in "starter" packs too with a stamp, business cards, etc. I just went on Merrill's site and the magnetic name tags are under the "by words" tab under business builders. Is that the ones you are looking for....the personalized name badges?
 
While I was looking it up on Merrill's site, someone beat me to it. LOL

Ok, but now, I've encountered another problem - it is pulling my title (current of Future Dir) and I just want it to say Independant Consultant so I can order it for others. Do you/anyone know if this can be changed or do I need to contact them directly?
 
You can't put anyone else's info on it. It has to be your name. I tried to do this in the past.

Well, that stinks!! I wonder if you have to be a director to get to the "director store" in order to get one for someone else?
 
That will happen soon, won't it Andrea?

I'm a prayin' Paige!!! :D
 
I think if you call them you can order it with someone else's info. Or with a lesser title (one of my former upline advocated using Consultant on everything because it's less confusing to customers, and they don't know what a Level Blue Director in Training Step 7 is anyway).
 
They aren't available in the directors store.

I've always used Consultant instead of Future Director - because I thought that title was a bit silly anyway. Gheesh - we could all be "future" directors, couldn't we? People who aren't part of PC wouldn't have any idea that it is an official title.

But now, I love the title of Team Leader - in fact, I like it better than Director. I think it's much more descriptive of what I do!
 
huh...I tried this and was unsuccessful, but it was awhile ago.

When I first started with PC, before I knew that FD was an actual title, I thought that people who used it (on the loops) were just thinking positive, like we were trained to do in my previous venture.

LOL - that's what I thought too!
