I don't know about Canada, but in the US it's 4 shows or $1250 in sales.
 
It means that you've fulfilled your contractual obligations. Basically, you've held & submitted $1250 in sales OR you've held & submitted your 1st four shows.
 
Call your recruiter/director to find out what the requirements are in Canada or ask this question in the canadian section of this forum.

Also if you go to consultants corner and look at the Individual Performance Tracker which a few days after you qualify shows the "qual date" (at least in the US).

I knew that was only a matter of time!
 
We're all here because we're not all there.
 
So true KG.
 
Oh, brother.
 
Well, Anne, if we were all there, then we wouldn't be here, right?
 
Touche!!!!

Nothing. There are no kit police who come and take the kit away, but sometimes it's good to imply that there are, just to get people moving. :)
 
They're guilty of kitnapping.
 
Yes, that's true. And HO probably would have legal recourse to recoup the kit products or the difference in cost between retail and kit price, if they wanted to bother.
 
That is, if they could find a lawyer who'd work for the two hundred and some-odd bucks that makes up the difference.The bad PR wouldn't so great, either.
 
Exactly. What are they going to do - go to every small claims court in the country to get back slightly used Food Choppers?
 
Especially one that hasn't been thoroughly washed.EEEEEeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyeeeeeewwwwwwww!
 
I picture Wakko doing his eeeuuuwwwww face. :)
