Just wanted to pass this onto all of you:

I had a new recruit sign on April 1 for the mini kit. She just received it....2 days....not bad at all! Anyway, just received an e-mail from her. No binder was included just the Business Guide and no booking calendar. Since the information we have so far has been very vague on the contents, I told her to call HO to make sure the items were either missed or are truly not included.
 
Since this is a brand new idea, so I am sure they won't have these kits perfect. I think it is a great idea but it will help to have the necessary paperwork too.
 
All the business guide information can be found online, I think.
 
Did she get the consultant tote?
 
The flyer indicates they only get the paperwork for 4 shows, so I'd be surprised if the tote, binder or calendar are included. All can be purchased with their PC dollars or received from their director as a gift.

I don't believe so. I am picking her up tomorrow morning for her to observe a show of mine. I plan on arriving to her house a few minutes early so I can look at what she actually got. I'll let you know if there are any surprises.
 
Sounds like it's one of those "you get what you paid for..." thing.
 
The only thing I would really be concerned about is the Calendar. that is a consultant gift for every consultant to get one free a year - that should have been in there.

I've had consultants not get them in their kit before, and PC wouldn't resend them. I ended up ordering them from Supply for them. And that wasn't the mini kit!
 
I think the new consultant mini kit has two pc bags (the red ones), I thought I read that somewhere- not the big black ones. Correct me if i'm wrong.
 
nope, you are right
2 PC shopping bags to transport their stuff to shows. Shame about the calendar though.....
 
Can someone email me a copy of the contents for the mini kit to me? I am not able to get to the link and open it.

Thanks.

Yes, two of the PC red shopping bags were included. Also, it is the 1 cup measure all cup that was included; not the 2 cup. Two new consultant recipes were included that were re-adjusted to the mini kit. She is really excited about this opportunity. I had a show for her a few months ago that was large and she ordered her 1/2 & FREE items knowing she may sell so she does have a number of items. Of course at the time we did not have the mini kit.
 
Thank you all for all your help!!! I appreciate it very much!
