Can New Consultants Order Sample Packages After the Initial Deadline?

[jimgass]

Hi all

I'm in my second month as a consultant. In my kit i got a green order form for some different Sample product packages.

In reading the form, i'm somewhat confused. Did I only have until feb. 1 to order sample packages? Or are sample packages available to all consultants? Also, will there be a sample product order form similar to this with packages, et al available Feb 14 for spring products instead of fall and winter stuff? So should I wait until next week to order, or have I missed out on my window of opportunity to order sample packages? Any help appreciated! Thanks!

Jim

You have 6 weeks after you join to get the sample products from the previous season (in this case FW10) at 50% off. The rest of us had until the end of September to take advantage of that deal and we also had the opportunity to earn them free in June/July.

The SS11 season products were earned in November/December and we can soon also purchase them at 50% off until the end of March. The info will come in the change over box.

You only missed out on the opportunity to get the Fall/Winter products that were introduced last year. But the new ones being introduced NOW will be showing up shortly, at which time you will have the same 6 weeks we all have to get the new products at the 50% off rates. They'll have them packaged a couple of different ways- you can buy the whole package, or pick and choose the package you want. Then the "Open-stock" items will be separate no matter what package you'd choose. (By the way, they will be on Con.Corner under the "Managing your Business", then "Samples/Outlets" section.)I think they'll have those up around the 14/15th next week.As far as any of the newer products or ANY product, you will have the opportunity to get them in your "Kit Enhancement" month....which for ALL consultant's is in April. Sounds like your 4th month will also be April, so I believe you'd still be able to use MAY as another Kit Enhancement(KE) month....so April & May, you can get products on a Personal Order for 40%. Be sure to go to the Policy and Procedure guide and read up on the section about Kit Enhancement. It gives all the details- including how many months you have to be active to qualify (I think 3 of the last 4?).

For a new consultant to get kit enhancement they must submit in months 1, 2 & 3 OR 2, 3 & 4 of their business to use KE in their 4th month and if that month is April, their month is May so they don't lose out on getting to use 2 KE's in their first year if they want to.

For all consultants, they must submit in Jan, Feb & March OR Feb, March & April to use the April KE.

**submit = at least $150 each of the required months

By submitting 150 in commissionable sales, is that within the context of a show, or would an individual order for someone count towards the 150.

I had a show that I closed on the 31st, and then this week somebody wanted to order some things just as an individual order. I don't have a show open right now, so I just submitted it that way. Would this count toward being "active" or must I submit a catalog or cooking show to be considered active?

Yes, individual orders do count toward the $150 you need in a month.
