Sorry, one more question. Not even sure where I should have posted this. My recruit is going to send in her 4th show this month tonight IF she gets the last cc # from one guest, if not she'll wait until Monday but the first two shows were May shows submitted in June. So, in order to get her 2 shows for the sharp products she would like to submit tonight to be safe. However, show #3 was on the 23rd and at that show a lady booked (show #4) for yesterday. She only got to submit show #3 last night due to a pokey host gathering last payments and doesn't have a past host number now for host #3 to order the past host special on show #4. Should she wait until Monday and phone in to get the #3 host number or should she just submit tonight with a made up number for host #3 and then she can call HO on Monday and tell them what she did so that they can fix/change it? I would like her to just submit it so that she finally gets a decent paycheque with 2 shows on it instead of one cheque show #1, one cheque show #2, one cheque show #3, etc.

What would you do/suggest?
 
All she has to do is check the host number box and put xx1234 where the phd should go. HO will check for the actual number and PP will let it go through - don't wait!

Hi again Kate! So we took your advice put xx1234 in the past host # section and submitted that 4th show (2nd for June) and she's qualified AND got a decent paycheque plus of course the 2 new sharp products. Thanks a bunch for your help :)

Oh and my recruit Michelle told me to say thanks too! :D :D
 
Jodi - glad I could help!

I know P3 will not let it work though. Tried. However, she can look up the host # herself on Consultant's Corner

Thanks Sharon but we don't have P3 here in Canada and she didn't have a host number yet. First show was submitted on Friday night and the show that was booked off of it was being submitted last night (Saturday night) so of course when we checked there wasn't a past host number yet.
 
I've submitted with "dummy" PHD #s through PP plenty of times. It will go through just fine.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Should my recruit submit tonight without a past host number for Show #3?

It's generally recommended to have a past host number for submitting shows, as it helps in tracking and ensuring that the host benefits are applied correctly. However, if your recruit is unable to obtain one in time, they can still submit the show, but they may need to follow up with customer service to ensure everything is processed correctly.

What happens if my recruit submits without a past host number?

If your recruit submits the show without a past host number, it may delay the processing of the host benefits. The recruit should be prepared to provide any necessary information to customer service to rectify the situation after submission.

Can my recruit still earn commission if they submit without a past host number?

Yes, your recruit can still earn commission on the sales made during the show, even if they submit without a past host number. The commission is based on the total sales, not the host's status.

Is it possible to add a past host number after submission?

Typically, once a show is submitted, it cannot be modified to add a past host number. However, your recruit can contact customer service to see if there are any options available to correct the submission.

What should my recruit do if they are unsure about the past host number?

If your recruit is unsure about the past host number, they should reach out to the previous host to confirm the number or check their records. If they cannot obtain it in time, they should still submit the show and follow up with customer service for assistance.
