Hi! My 30 days starts tomorrow. I was in a car accident tonight. Nothing real serious, but I'm not supposed to do a lot for a few days and will most likely have to cancel my first 3 shows!! (Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday)

Do you know if it's possible to have HO extend my 30 day date?

Thanks!!!!!
 
Usually only if your kit miships, but have your director call HO for you and ask - they may make an exception.

Get better soon!
 
(Or see if you can still do your shows sitting down and make it interactive - have your guests do the work! :) )

...and have someone carry your kit for you...
 
Sorry to hear about your car accident Kristy - hope you don't feel too banged up tomorrow (it always seems to catch up with you then!) - I would say try and make your shows interactive and just have your hosts help you bring things in.
 
Sooo sorry about your accident, hope you are ok -- but, why not use this as a Recruiting opportunity...just tell your hosts what happened and that if they sign up, they can do their own shows and get the income and bookings from them.

I am sure that you will find more bookings in the next few weeks, and you will be a Future Director (oh, and when they qualify, you will get $200 in Best Buy gift cards)!!!

Just trying to keep it on the positive -- :D
 
Haha, Janice I love your attitude. And we get Best Buy GCs for signing people up? Oh, my DH IS going to love this business!!! That and once I earn us a trip, he will be completely SOLD on this! :) I need to get more info on the trips... I need to know what I have to work towards. That will help to motivate!

Kristy,

You can always call the HO and tell them the situation and see...what will it hurt?

I believe that they will probably say no...but you never know till you ask!:)

That's the current recruiting promo. It runs through the end of February, and recruits have to qualify in their first 30 days for the recruiter to get the GCs.

There's LOTS of info on Consultant's Corner about the trips. And many, many people have mentioned a trip as the turning point for their husband's attitude about PC. :)
 
I would call HO and tell them what happened - if not, then try to bring someone to help you at your shows - Your first shows are most likely your family and friends - I am sure someone will be there to help you so you can still take advantage of the PC dollars etc - Feel Better!!
