I have a customer that would like to order and outlet item...

I have tried to enter this into my open show, but it did not work. Is the only way to purchase outlet items through PC online?
 
Yes, unfortunately the only way to order on the outlet is through the website.

If you have your own pc.biz website, have her order it through yours.

You don't commission on pc.com orders....some random director gets those commissions.

I don't have a web site yet...again :cry: bummer:cry:
 
I have a customer who saw something on the outlet on my web site. Her order came to $65 including the $8 item.

Does this mean she doesn't get the bamboo spoons? Also, does it mean the host doesn't get credit?

If not ... I guess I'll add somebody's small order to it so she still gets the spoons!
 
Q: Does this mean she doesn't get the bamboo spoons? Also, does it mean the host doesn't get credit?A: That's right - she doesn't get the bamboo spoons and the host doesn't get credit. Outlet orders are only credited to the consultant who's website it was ordered from - that's it. It's up to you if you want to put something on her order to get her the spoons.
