I was beginning to think I was doing something wrong, as I have not been successful in signing anyone yet .. until tonight - my neighbor just called me, she wants to sign. I can't even believe it!

Thought you could help me .. she'd like to sign at the end of this month, and have her 1st month be June. How long once she signs will it take for her to get her kit? Or should I talk to my director to get a quick start box?

I'm meeting with my neighbor next week to talk details .. so am sure I'll have more questions then.

Thanks for your help everyone.

Once the agreement online is filled out, the kit should ship within 24-48 hours, unless she signs during the weekend or holiday. Then you have to allow a couple days for fed ex. I hope that helps you.

Thank you Stephanie.
 
If you can get a quick start box, I think it keeps their excitement level up when they sign and have that paperwork to start pouring over right away.
 
Hi Patti,Congratulations on your first recruit! That's so exciting and I'm sure you're thrilled to have your neighbor join your team. As for your questions, I'm happy to help.Typically, it takes about 5-7 business days for a new consultant to receive their starter kit once they have signed up. However, if your neighbor is eager to get started, I would definitely recommend talking to your director about a quick start box. This will allow her to have some products on hand to start booking parties and making sales right away.I would also suggest talking to your director about setting up a launch party for your neighbor. This is a great way for her to introduce herself to her friends and family as a new consultant and start booking parties. It's also a great way for you to support and mentor her in the beginning of her journey.I'm sure you'll have more questions as you continue to grow your team, and that's what we're here for. Don't hesitate to reach out to your director or other consultants for support and guidance. We are all here to help each other succeed.Best of luck with your neighbor's sign-up and your future as a pampered chef consultant!Warmly,
