Re: Outlet?Outlet items are only available as individual orders- not as part of any Cooking or Catalog show.Once you hit the $1250 in sales/Qualified, you're PWS will update to allow individual orders- including Outlet. You can then send that guest an email update and let her know maybe as a follow-up. (Consultant Connection through your PWS has an email template about Individual Orders (I think it's one of the last ones in the drop-down list of Designs to select from).)

Re: Outlet?Before you qualify, you can place an order for an outlet item as a sample. So you can find out what the guest wants, then go in to to consultant corner under order samples and you can order it for her. You won't get commission, but it is discounted to you. It is a great way to go the extra mile for your customer. Also make sure she knows there is no guarantee on outlet items.
