Something I Don't Know but Should

[otisbg]

Happy Labor Day!
As a new consultant, I came across this question while looking at my meager cookware inventory....
Am I able to purchase the host special from someone's show who booked from mine?
I searched the policy manual online and can't find the answer. There is no way that I can currently afford to increase my cookware stock at a personal order price and I just held my own show last month.
Any answers will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much

Linda

Unfortunately you can't (since you are now a consultant) - if you are able to get enough loose orders during September to reach $150 in sales - you can then put it in as a catalog show and get the host special of cookware for yourself.

Thank you so much - I do think my director told me that awhile back but I think I was secretly hoping I didnt understand her correctly. The outside order idea is very well worth pursuing. I appreciate the suggestion.

Because you are the consultant, you don't get the booking benefit or past host discount. It's in the section that mentions holding your own kick-off/grand opening party in the business guide. And in the policies and procedures, it's on pg. 5 under Consultant-hosted Shows.

Could you hold a fall open house? Maybe you could round up enough sales to have it count as a show so you can get the host special. Another thing is that on the supply order you can purchase the 1.5 qt. covered saucepan at a discount. Or if you wait till your fourth month, it'll be your Kit Enhancement month and you can buy things at 40% off.

Hope that helps!

I was under the impression that if your original show was BEFORE you signed, then you could take advantage of the booking benefit...at least my consultants who did that were able to do it. To be safe, I'd check with HO.

Yes, that is correct.

If it's a "consultant as host show" AFTER you sign, you don't get any booking benefits, or commission on the discounted products.
