So tonight I sign the agreement. I don't get my consultant number until I get my kit, right? Im guessing I will need that number to get everything such as my debit card, cc access and access to Merrill to order a shirt to wear everywhere! (Im so excited b/c NOW its reality and not a 'dream'! I feel like I just drank a six pack of mountain dew!):yuck: :eek: :)
 
You will get your consultant number before you get your kit. You should get an welcoming e-mail and within 24-48 or your recruiter will have your consultant number. As soon as you ahve htat number go to consultants corner (you will also get a CC password) and apply for your Debit card. Do you have a bank account set up just for PC? - I would recommend that.
Once you have your consultant number and bank account number apply for the PC debit card - There is a credit card too but I have never gotten one of those.
The debit card takes about 5 business days for approval.

I recognize that ANYWHERE!!!! LOL! I need a sedative!:yuck: :blushing:
 
Sounds like you are excited. If you are going out of town before you get your letter with your password in it, you can get your Consultant number & then call 1 (800) 449-2433 and you will have to give certain vital info that will give you your password. That will get you into consultants corner and when you get your kit it will be your password for Pampered Partner.

If you are taking your laptop, you will love being able to get in and see things in Consultants corner. Also, take some information on the business such as some catalogs, order forms, and any info you have about the business. You never know, you could come back with a show ready to submit.

BTW: Did you get a Quick Start box? That would give you the P3 software and so much info to sit around and read on vacation.

Good luck!

When should I sign up for a website? Do I wait? How do you pay for that, i.e., how often and how much?
 
That's one of the reasons you need the debit card. You can sign up for a website as soon as you have your consultant number, CC password and debit card. DO IT! It's a great tool to show how easy this business is, since HO does everything, we just personalize it a little.

Congrats! And officially, WELCOME!

YES! For the first year I did it 6 months at a time, that way if I wasn't happy with it, I could cancel and it wouldn't cost so much. But I've been very happy with it and have made enough in orders from my website to pay for itself.

Once your agreement is accepted and you are officially a concultant, you can sign up for your PWS. But you won't be able to accept orders on it until you are qualified. Still, you can put the address on your information and start directing people there because they can still see the catalog and send you messages.
 
And Dena - you sound like you are going to jump out of your skin!!! It is so refreshing to hear a new recuit sooooo excited. It is making me even that much MORE excited for you!
Now go find two people for YOUR team so you can come to Leadership with us in January!!!

Actually prior to qualifying you can accept show orders on your PWS. Its individual orders and bridal registry that are not available until you qualify (there has been much confusion over this lately). This is a great benefit because you can set up your first shows and encourage your friends/family to send out emails to long-distance friends/family that they would not invite to a local show.

And I will, believe me!
 
Dena- get out there and recruit, lady! You're so excited about PC, and people will feed on that. Besides, HO won't promote you to Director until you've got 6 months under your belt, so you've got some breathing room. :)
