I am a new returning consultant. I went inactive for 6 months because I was not happy with my upline and I knew it was hurting my business since I was not enjoying it. Anyway, my old senior consultant told me that only directors could sign up for booths and fairs and then they would pass them down their line if they could not make it or whatever. Is this true? I would really like to do some local craft fairs.
 
Not true. Anyone can do a booth.
 
But congrats on deciding to restart you business! :D

Thank you so much. I am much happier this time around and it show in my business :)
 
So sorry you had misinformation and unhappiness. Best wishes in your new business!!
 
Any one can do a booth anytime. PC used to give directors a certain amount of money each year for booth reimbursement, but they don't do that anymore. But even when they offered that, there was no rule saying only directors could organize or do a booth.
 
Booths are a great way to gain a lot of exposure. Look here at the threads for a ton of excellent information from consultants who are very successful at them. Welcome back to PC.
 
I encourage all my new consultants to find booth , crafts fairs for additional business.
