I am a new consultant (this is overwhelming stuff! Not sure what I would do w/o CS!!!) Can someone fill me in on how to order items that I don't have and need for a show for the recipe??
 
Re: OrderDo you have PP3? You can go in and do a supply order if the items are there for you that you need.
 
Re: OrderYou would want to submit a non-commission order through P3. You will receive a discount on your purchase. If $ is tight right now why not focus on recipes you can do with the kit? There are a lot of New Consultant recipes available. If $ is not tight...Happy Shopping!
 
Re: OrderThere's a lot of great recipes with just using the kit. I'm trying to just stick to them, or figure out how to substitute some items with what I've got. I'm fairly new too, so I know how it feels when you see great show recipes but don't have the products to do them. Before placing a non-commission order, double check the supply order list. There are several products on there, and you'll get them at a better price than a non-comm. order. Remember, you'll also get PC$ based on your # of shows and show total amounts, so you can buy stuff later with that free $! Best wishes! :)
 
Re: OrderAlso if you are close to any ladies on your team they may let you borrow what you need.
 
Re: OrderI've also had some of my customers tell me that they have stuff I can borrow whenever I need it! Check with friends & neighbors, and even the hostess you are working with if she's a previous customer. Nothing is more aggrevating to me than to drag a piece of heavy stoneware across town and see the same piece sitting on the host's counter when I get there!
