Ok, do you have to be qualified in order to get the website up and running?

I had 2 catalog shows from out of town friends who were going to help me in my first 30 days..but it was really based on them thinking they'd have access to my website...which i too had thought I could have before qualifying?

HELP...
 
Nope- you can get a website before qualifying, but you can't take individual orders, just orders associated with a show.

thank you! i was about to cry..if it were true!!!
 
So go to Consultant's Corner and sign yourself up, girl!Don't cry. :)
 
You can sign up for your web site as soon as your debit card is available.

I hope you signed up for that debit card RIGHT away, because it can take a week. There is a sepereate number you have to call in order to retreive your debit card number.

The web site access is immediate once you sign up.
 
I applied for the Debit Card as soon as I got my Consultant number. I had my website up and running before my first show. I've had good luck with it, as my first catalog show was 800 miles away. I've had close to $400 just in web orders for my first 4 shows, which I think is decent and well worth the cost of the site. I have quite a few people ask me when they could place individual orders, so I am looking forward to tomorrow when I close my 4th show and qualify.
