What Can You Tell Us About Your Experience as a PC Consultant?

The discussion revolves around the experiences of various PC consultants, focusing on their tenure, recruitment experiences, and personal goals for 2008. Many consultants shared their lengths of time in the business, with some having joined after being asked by others, while others approached the opportunity independently.

I've loved PC for years and had many products thats why I emailed HO for a name of a director here. I have a very long story as to why I wanted to do this. I'd have to write a book to explain. Lets just say it involves a boyfriend and his psychotic mother who lived in a new house for 3 years and has never turned on the oven ONCE!!!! I was a prisoner there for 13 weeks!

I would love to do 2 shows a week!

6. How long after you were first asked or knew of PC was it before you become a consultant? I've been buying PC products off and on for over 10 years. I was never able to go to a show until last year. I was never asked by any of the consultants I was ordering from. I always placed my order through the host and never heard from the consultant. Granted, they were outside orders, but shouldn't I have been contacted, too? I wanted to go to those shows, I legitimately couldn't go. I wasn't just ordering to help the host, I love the product.
7. Goals for 2008. Qualify in the first 30 days. Consistently hold 2 shows per week. Go to convention in 2009. Meet some of the wonderful people on this site!
