Yeay, I just signed #3 today but I was wondering will they send 25 catalogs of Fall or Spring?
I ask because I just bought a pack from a cluster mate because I need them for next week (and she was sure they would send me Spring cattys)?! I just don't want extra Fall when I don't need them now.:(

Ps. also Will she get a changeover with her kit?

great question - I signed mine on Weds. and wondered the same thing - I would of course prefer the s/s - also - will THEY get the F/W or S/S cattys?? Her first show is the end of Feb but the rest are in March - I really want her to stay with it as she is young and ambious, but really needs the money and doesnt want to outlay too much in the beginning -
 
They will send spring. I just signed a new recruit on Tuesday, and I got a pack of 25 S/S 08 catalogs in the mail yesterday - wooohooo! :DThe new recruit should get a combination of F/W and S/S, so they can do some Feb. shows and start booking March shows. I'll know more when my recruit gets her kit.

Thanks so much!!! BTW - Congrats on the new recruit - walking the stage in July??? What wave are you?
 
Thanks, and congrats to you girls, too!

I'm in Wave 1, and I've been a FD off and on for about 3 years now, so I'm not sure if I'll be walking the stage or not, but it would be nice! My team is definitely the most solid team I've had so far (2 personal recruits, one downline recruit, all active and working their businesses). I am working FT now so I'm not able to do as many shows as I was before, but the shows keep coming my way, and I'm still doing everything I'm supposed to do (sell, book, recruit), so we'll see! I have a couple of people at my FT job interested, and some other past hosts, as well, but they've been fence-sitters for a while. How about you?

You've got a deal! It's nice to have a buddy to keep you on track! I see you're in NY - I'm not too far away and will be visiting NYC in 2 weeks - I'll wave to you from Manhattan! :D

I've been to NC 3 times myself, but had to miss last year (it nearly killed me!). I always focused on having a blast, but I would have even more fun if I walked as a Director, that's for sure! If my team is going, I'm there - I think they all want to go, too. I am focusing on recruiting more lately, and it's coming more naturally to me, too, just like everyone always told me it would! GL to you!!

Nope, not under Don. I'm actually under an ED who is in Michigan - we had a weird recruit line that wrapped from California to Michigan to Texas to PA!! I wish I were under Don so I could go to his meetings!! Michigan is way too far to go to a cluster meeting, that's for sure!! ;)

My friend lives in Purchase but we'll be spending most of our time in the city. I've been out to eastern LI for a wedding - it's beautiful out there!! '

Hope to meet you at Conference and we're both wearing big red "DIRECTOR" tags on our nametags!! :D
