So, what is everyone getting during kit enhancement month? I am curious to see what everyone else is planning to get.
 
Since I will have a lot of money to write-off for conference, I think I might hold a show for myself, and have my mom as a guest and order stuff through that so that I can get the sales, benefits & commission off of it....Not sure yet!I definitely want a 2nd trifle bowl....
 
There is so much that I want to get!! Easy read measuring cups, mix n chop, can opener, deep covered baker.... I am in my 3rd ss so there is still so much I don't have yet!!
 
A rice cooker!
Eyeing up some forged cutlery...(that is a "wish")
Also eyeing up the stainless bowls...

Basically eyeing up the things I would normally never get for myself (cost-wise) but would be nice to have to sell...
 
I will get my $200 in PC dollars when I make director, but I am not sure how fast I will get the PC dollars. If I get them in April then my order is ready to go!!

Double burner executive griddle
large grooved cutting board
oven mitt
stackable cooling rack
apple wedger
12" glass lid
 
Is there a limit or any restrictions as to what you you can get during kit ehancement?
 
Yes, no more than 1 of any item and $500 max (before discount).
 
I think the rules are that you can only get one of each thing, and only up to $500 in product "retail". If you are a super starter there are more rules...
 
If you are a super starter, the additional rules apply to YOUR kit enhancement month, not the common one...
 
Thank you I am looking now to see what I can get. I really would like the cookware
 
And that rule is that you can't get something that is already in your kit correct? But that is only in your 4th month not the general kit enhancement that everyone gets?
 
Nothing. I don't think kit enhancement is worth it.
 
I thought about it but then decided to host my own show for the new cutlery steak knives!
 
I havent' thought about it hardly at all!!

and boy are they nice!! I need a 2nd set to make a nice set of 8 :)
 
I think i am going to host my own show next month as well.... It's been a year I should do that.
 
I'm getting some seconds of products that I have in my TTA so I can leave one set at home in my white TTAs & leave the rest in my bag for shows. I hate always having to check that hubby put the PC stuff in the right TTA! I also need a large cutting board & might get one of the sets of cookware. I don't need too much this year--I've been earning a lot for free lately!!
 
Well, for those of you that know about my colored santoku knife that came up missing since my son does the dishes.....I will be getting one of those definately! I will be asking my mom after I put in my order if there's anything she needs. She has helped me out in the business more than once so I thought as a "thank you" I'd do that!

Why don't you think it is worth it my director is always talking about this opportunity?

On my bigger shows, I have ordered some things along with the hosts' order (with her knowledge of course). That way I get at least 20% off with her discount, PLUS my discount. In Feb I earned 23% off, so I totaled 43% off AND free shipping!!! So in that sense, I'm not impressed by kit enhancement either.

There are other ways to get products for free or for a bigger discount.

I order on hosts orders and that way it counts for my incentive points and career sales, too.

How do you get your discount on top of a host's, on her order??? Or, are you speaking of your commission on top of her discount?
 
DebbieJ said:

I agree! If I need something, I will ask a host that I know if she is OK with me adding something on using her discount. Then, you get it at the discount, sales count towards incentives/trips, AND you make commission on it! It usually ends up MORE THAN 50% OFF!

That being said, here's what I just got through an open house I just held:

Forged bread knife (completes my set of awesome knives!!!)
Citrus Press
Grill Press
Chillzanne Bowl
Chillzanne Mini Bowl
Spreader (one with vanilla glazed handle)
A couple of Mix-n-Chops (already have one...wanted some to give away!)
Mix-n-Masher

I honestly have most items that I would ever like to have...the only other thing I was looking at is the small bamboo board and petite squares to go with it...but decided against it since I have tons of SA that I can use for entertaining!

Have fun shopping all!

Yep. I'm kinda tore about the whole thing too. My 4th month will be May, so I'll be able to order both months. I have SOOO much PC stuff now, I don't think I could fit anymore in here.

I would love to get the cookware, but even with the discount, can't afford it. So I'll probably just wait it out.

Yay!! So happy to hear that you decided to go for it :)
 
I really want the cookware. -- But if I self host and get to the $300 level I can get it for 50% off. . . plus cooks tools for free.

I'm trying to weigh the options.

(I could also try to recruit three people before the end of April and get the cookware for free.) -- April is my third "old" Super Starter month.

Try to recruit!!

If not, then I would self host and get to the $300 level. Then, you are getting commission on the $300, at least 17% = $50 towards it! This is what I plan to do to get the cookware within the next few months!
 
I see your point. It does not seem like such a great bargain. I love this site. You woman (and men) are awsome. I am going to sit down and figure out how I can get the most benefit for the items I want. I really like the fact that if I add to a host order (a host I know) it can go towards my career sales.

That's exactly what I did a little bit ago. And I am so glad I got the cookware it is awesome.

Plus, you do not have to pay shipping as host either!

Yes, I was referring to my commission on top of her discount. And it goes towards my #s, so I like that, too. :)
