Qualified and Ready: How to Obtain a PWS and Maximize Its Benefits

[PCSarahjm]

I have just qualified and was wondering how to get a PWS? Also is it real beneficial? Thoughts Please!!!

You need a PC debit or credit card to pay for it. To actually get the PWS, sign in to Consultant's Corner, and go to Promoting your business > PWS assistant. If you don't already have a PWS, it will walk you through setting it up. If you do already have one, that's where you go to change/update it. You can also get to it from the right-hand links ("Frequently Visited") on the main CC page.

Thanks Chefann I can always count on you to answer questions. I was thinking about getting one in the next month or so. Can you use PC $ to pay for PWS?

 

[chefann]

Nope. Darn.

Does anyone want to share their opinion or advice about a new consultant getting a PWS? I'm debating with myself about it. Should I wait until I've been selling longer than two months? I haven't even finished my first 90 days. I really want one because it would give me one more thing to fiddle with and I like having the "latest and greatest". Is it worth it right now at this point in my business? Please, bless me with your wisdom!

I think every consultant should sign up for one the day they get their PC debit card #. You can start collecting show orders from the start and get your hostesses using the evites. I've had $200-300 in outside orders on a single show come through my website.

It's more than paid for itself!

 

[ChefBeckyD]

JAE - okay, you know what I think! But one thing to add - the sooner you have one, the sooner it can start paying off!

 

[JAE]

Anyone else have advise or opinions about this?

 

[PCSarahjm]

So Jae did you get one? I plan on getting the website going next month. Let me know what you decide and how it is working for you

 

[JAE]

I decided to go for it, and I signed up last night. I'm tired of trying to transfer pictures to my newsletters, and I'm tired of rewriting things already said on the website. I signed up for 6 months rather than a year because my PC account is not very full at this point. It was only a dollar more per month for 6 months. It's all ready to go. I'm now on the web!

 

[PCSarahjm]

Great that is my goal for July!! I think I will do six months just to see how beneficial it is. Keep me posted on how it is going for you.

 

[PCSarahjm]

Jae I know you have only had the PWS for a day or so but has any of your customers checked it out?

Great that is my goal for July!! I think I will do six months just to see how beneficial it is. Keep me posted on how it is going for you.

I signed for mine for a 6 month period. It is up for renewal in August. I wil do it again but this time for a year. I wanted to make sure that it would work for me having the website. I love it! I have gotten over $200 in orders in the past 2 months and out of all my hosts that use it, they get at least 1 order on the web from people out of town or those that can't come. I signed with PC at the end of Oct. I waited a little while because I didn't have the money. If I would have done it sooner. But not everyone has them and not all of my hosts use it. Just wanted to give you my 2 cents!

 

[JAE]

Yes, I have had a few people respond that they've looked at my website. I sent an e-mail out to everyone on my PC e-mail list, and then last night I decided I should just send an e-mail out to everyone who's e-mail address I have because the out of towners can order off my website anytime. Today, I had someone from Virginia, I live in Michigan, e-mail to tell me they need the salad spinner and the whisk. I'm pretty happy about that. I told her it would be much less expensive for her if she has a catalog show in July. We'll see.
