Do any of you know a consultant for the PC without a computer? I have a host who I know would be FABULOUS at this, but she does not have a computer. Is it possible to do this business without one? Has anyone encountered this before?

I am meeting with her on Thursday for a recruiting interview, and I know this will come up so I want to be prepared.
 
Ask her if she has a family member with one she could use to submit shows. From a thread I read here before, it is possible, but a pain in the butt to do without a pc.
 
It would be really hard, but then again, maybe she wouldn't waste (I mean spend) so much time on CS or checking e-mail. I wouldn't want to do it w/o a computer because of the website, e-mailing and using P3. But, she will have more time to use the phone.
 
My only recruit doesn't have one but uses her brother's pc to submit. I have used mine to submit her's also, but then I have to change the personal profile everytime...
 
I have a gal in my upline cluster who does not have a computer and still submits things completely manually. She does not have the software on someone else's computer or anything. She was very active for about 2 years, until she married and had a baby, and is now pretty much a show a month gal. But, she never seemed to mind doing it this way.

There are separate deadlines for manually submitted shows and it is more paperwork, but if no computer is available, it is, for now, still a possibility.
 
I have consultants who submit manually with absolutely no problem. Not that long ago, NO ONE had Pampered Partner and managed to have great businesses. Anything is possible. It's all what you're used to. If they don't use computers they are accustomed to using the calculator and filling out the long forms. I would never tell them that it would be harder for them. It's all relative.
 
We had a consultant in our cluster who did an awesome business without a computer for quite some time. She finally saved up money and bought one but she sure never let it hold her back. Go for it!
 
I have one who doesn't have a computer yet. But she is going to use my desktop to submit her shows since I have everything on my laptop.
 
I did it for the first 2 years without a computer. It was more work, but definately posssible. Once we got one, it was a tax write off for my biz.
 
When I first stared with PC, we had to buy PP. I didn't buy it and did all of my shows by hand... and it was pretty easy. The forms are very user friendly and all we had to do was pay attention to the submission dates for mail-in shows.
