what is that on our supply list? I am trying to get some supplies needed and wasn't sure exactly what that was.

and how big is it?
 
It's a black "binder" type thing with 2 rings at the top and it turns into a tri-fold, so we can display the product cards and the monthly specials at our shows. It comes with 3 page protectors, so you'll probably want to order a few more of those if you want to show more than 3 pages. I use mine at every show to go over the host and guest specials, registry, business opportunity, theme shows, product lines (cookware, simple additions, etc.) and I think it really comes in handy! Better than printing a bunch of copies for your guests, then watching them get thrown in the trash. Plus, you only have to update it once a month.
 
It holds standard 8 1/2 X 11 pages - like a regular binder, but the spine is at the top, not the side.

great, that is what I was hoping. I am ordering it
 
Before you do, you should know that it also comes in the business building package for new consultants - I just got mine, and the whole package is great!
 
Oh, that's right! That's awesome that it comes in that package now - it didn't when I joined, and I think it's such a necessary part of my business that it should be in the kit!! :D

You know, I looked at that sheet and I really didn't want that much of the stuff. I haven't used much of my supplies at all really yet. I have a TON of catalogs .. if I could order it after the new catalogs are available than it would be worth it but I think it will be too late by then

That is good to know! We didn't even have the flip chart when I started...I am really glad that they are including that. I think it's very helpful at shows!
 
It also includes the paper to print receipts on, whcih I didn't have before (seem like it should come in the starter kit...), but if you really don't need the cats, I guess you should price out how much it costs for just the bits you want. How much is the flip-chart on it's own (just curious and too lazy to look it up :))?

its $13. I figured it out and it would be about $21 for everything I wanted out of the whole kit list. I actually can still get it until august 1st with the end of my 60 days so if they start filling that new consultant kit with those new cattys by then I think it will be worth it
 
You can probably call and ask them about buying the business building kit so it will have F/W catalogs in it. I did that for one of my consultants who signed on close to changeover time and they let her order it past her 60 day mark so she could get the new catalogs. The catalogs alone are worth more than the $36.
