I have been with PC since Nov. I want to get a PWS, but at the sametime don't want to spend the money for "nothing". Did you guys wait months or as soon as you qualified got it?
 
I got it AS SOON as I qualified. Well worth it!:D
 
I got the 6 month deal right when I first began, and I love it!!
 
I got it as soon as I signed up. My first show had several outside orders that paid for the site immediately.
 
I got mine as soon as I signed up:) I'm in my second month and it sure has done me good... I had a online/catalog show and so far it has been my highest show... So I have to say it was well worth the investment.
 
I got mine as soon as I got my debit card #! It was very helpful for my first hosts to use it! I got a bunch of orders on my first show!

Ditto here....I got it as soon as I signed up and got my debit card. I plan to start pushing "electronic" catalog shows as soon as I'm qualified.

You don't need to be qualifed to do those!!! Push them NOW!!!
 
Exactly That was what qualified me:) A friend in Louisiana(sp) did a show online for me and it was my best show:) I even booked another online show from hers. And the one that booked started right away and has 2 potential bookings:)
 
I also got mine as soon as I signed up.....I'm still in my first 30 days, and it has already paid for itself several times over!
 
The did not have PWS when I first signed on as a consultant - but as soon as they offered them, I got one!
