Just wondering what the Quick Start Box is for.....
Should I have one on hand?
Won't new consultants get everything in their kit??
 
I am thinking I may get one just to keep on hand...with the way the new consultant program is set up I think it may be a good idea for my new girls to have their paperwork right away.
 
I think it's a great thing for Directors to have one on hand (only Directors can order them). Then they can give it to their consultant if they have someone sign. The only risk you run is that if you DON'T get rid of it during a selling season, you'll have to pay for it. I think it used to be $35 for the old kit (I only had one and luckily gave it to a recruit in November), so I don't know how much the new one will be. Now with the focus on really jump starting their new business within the first 30 days, it's even more important to give them the quick start box.

I totally agree! When I promote to Director this year I will make sure I have ONE - TWO on hand ... :D Plus. That will keep me a bit modivated to get out there and KEEP recruiting!!! :D
 
I started my business with w QS box. Got it on Friday and did my first show like a week later. I had all the tools because I was a long-time PC junkie...but having the QS kit got me right out there fast.
 
Carolyn,

When can we order the new ones? Jan 23?

I wish I knew - I need to put in a supply order but am waiting for the new stuff to show up so I only will need to put in one order. If you find out when the new stuff is up, let me know - ok?
 
I was told on the 23rd. A bit late IMO.
 
I was stuck with one quick start box in September but because I could use some of the items in the box it wasn't a complete loss. I feel even with that it was worth having - wish I would have been able to give it to someone. I suggest having one quick start box on hand at all times (until the last month or so of a season) so that new people can get a jump on organizing! I know those I have given one to really appreciated it!

New directors who get them be sure to tell your downline how it works so they feel comfortable using them. My friend had FOUR at the end of this season and several could have been used by her downline. They just didn't get the concept!

Me too!! They rock!!
 
Last year I ordered 3. It got down to the wire a couple weeks ago with the last one but a Future Director in our cluster took it for her new recruit. Whew! All she has to do is have her recruit put "my consultant" number in the space where it asks if you already have a Quick Start Box.
They are great to keep on hand. I keep one in the car. They are heavy! I'm anxious to see how heavy the new ones are!
 
When I get them, I put my name and my consultant # on the shipping box. That way I can give them to my downline or sister consultants and make sure that they have the info needed to give me the credit for the box when completing the agreement.
 
Okay, question for all you seasoned directors out there. Tomorrow we should be able to order Quick Start Boxes with the new program. Does anyone know if they will be Fall/Winter 06 or Spring/Summer 07 or a combination? This is my first changeover as a director. I want to get some, but I don't want to get stuck with the cost if they are F/W only.Thanks!
