Ordering My 200th Show Kit - Need Info on Consultant Tote

[reba515]

is there a way in PP to find your "cooking" show count? or do I need to manually count them subtracting cattie shows & ind. orders?

 

[chefann]

You can sort by show type and then manually count them, but there's no report.

I don't know how to insert the picture I took with adobe from Consultant's Corner - Policies and Procedures so I'll just type what it states:

"For EVERY 200 Cooking shows submitted, you can order a new set of the New Consultant Kit products at a discount to replace samples that have become worn. You will receive information on this when you reach the 200 show milestone."

So for those of you who never received notification you should contact HO. Also for those of you working towards or past your next 200 (Beth) you are also entitled to a new set if you choose. Now we just need to clarify if we receive the tote or not since one did and another didn't. It DOES state a new set of the 'new consultant kit products' so does products mean/include the tote?

Also, it doesn't state how we will receive the information. Is it an email or through regular mail? Either way our notification could easily get lost and that would just bite! Can you tell I'm almost there as well ?

It came in the mail for me. I have no clue where it is though but HO has a record of the fact that I didn't use it. I don't know if I want it if I don't get a NC bag though...

Thanks for looking this up.

Mine was an order form that came through regular mail. I didn't have an option to order online - it was an order form that had to be mailed back in. It reminded me of the Sample Order Forms.

I'm going to call about not getting the Consultant Tote - but not today. Mondays are too long of a hold, and I'm on the move too much today!

Mine had a specific expiration date on it. I had to use it within 90 days of receiving the notification.

That info on the replacement kit is different in the US policies:

Once you have submitted 200 Cooking Shows, you can order one new set of New Consultant Kit products at a special discount to replace samples that have become worn. You will receive information on this when you reach the 200 Show milestone.​

The price is $155 - the same thing a new consultant pays for the kit, paperwork, bag, apron...

My former director called HO to replace her kit back when the new kit came out. She had never replaced her kit and was over 600 shows. They at first said no but then they did allow her to buy one since she hadn't used it. That was a couple years ago so I don't know what they would do now.

I am still waffling about asking if I can still getting it - I would do it today if it included a new consultant bag but I don't really need that either. lol

thanks Ann.

 

[Jenni]

Do you pay for it what someone who is just signing up would pay for it? Or is it cheaper? 200 shows it should be free...lol

 

[stacywhitlow]

Is it 200 cooking shows from when you signed? I went inactive a few times & lost all my info with computer crash prior to 2005. P3 states 97 since 2005 but I signed in 2003.

 

[stacywhitlow]

I just checked policies & procedures on CC. This is what it states:

200th Cooking Show
Once you have submitted 200 Cooking Shows, you can
order one new set of New Consultant Kit products at a
special discount to replace samples that have become worn.
You will receive information on this when you reach the
200 Show milestone.

 

[chefann]

It's 200 cooking shows. Catalog shows don't count, nor do individual orders.

And I don't think fundraisers count either - but bridal showers do.

(I also don't know if you start over from zero if you go inactive....)

I think you do start over if you go inactive - just like career sales.

To answer a previous question. The cost is $155 - the same that a new consultant pays. You only get the products (no bag, apron, paper work) if you buy the 200 show deal. It's still a deal though - just add up the retail cost of those products.

 

[cathyskitchen]

I'm not sure if I should get mine - I got my letter a couple of weeks ago and I have until July 15 to order it. I have the tote, so don't need that, but my mom just broke my microplane over the weekend and I think it's out of warranty She said she'd buy me a new one, but I can't let her do that. So, those of you who have gotten one, was it worth it? I have a lot of doubles already (2 batter bowls, scrapers, 8" saute pan, small bowls, etc.) but an extra garlic press, cutting board and cooling rack would be nice. I just can't decide! HELP!

 

[quiverfull7]

What cost do you come to to replace the things in your kit that you would like doubles of or need a fresh one of? Like, I need a new cutting boards as it get tons of use at home and shows; My chopper and cooling racks stay in use... it doesn't take long to add up to the 155. I'm not in line just yet for having the deal offered to me... I'm coming up on 200 shows with all combined but I'm trying to think ahead and decide for myself. I'm very interested to hear what you decide.

 

[cathyskitchen]

I know - I'm doing the math and it comes out to be 60% off to get all the items at $155 - but how many will I actually use? I might be able to sell the "triples" as cash & carry, or use them for gifts, so that might help me out. It's just tough to plunk down $155 all at once and justify it when I already have everything. A few of my things really need to be replaced, though, and I hate to pass up a good deal. I'll let you know...

 

[janetupnorth]

I'd say 60% off is a good deal! I'd have a hard time passing that one up!If NOTHING else, buy it and put the items in a hope chest for your children.

I struggled with it too - and waited until just before my time was up before I ordered.
But - I really needed the bar pan, and my chopper was looking really worn, and the guard for my microplane broke, and I gave away my extra batter bowl, and some other things I didn't have doubles on but wanted doubles. The things I really didn't need - The SA bowls & caddy, the 8" saute pan, garlic press (have 3) - I figure I will use as really great incentives at some point, or give as gifts....and I got those gifts and incentives for 60% off!:thumbup:


The silliest thing - I was most excited about getting the silicone basting brush! I only had one, and I was always having to pull it out of the dishwasher to take to shows! But, $155 is pricey for a basting brush!
