What Essentials Should I Include in My First Supply Order as a New Consultant?

[laylaleigh]

Hi! I am about to place my 1st supply order and I was wondering what are the essentials? Are the display cards nice? Which ones are good to have? Any other suggestions? I want to place my order to get everything before my 1st show. What products that don't come in the kit are great to have at shows?

I am also ordering the new consultant business package. I just didn't know what else I need. Does everyone have a table and table cloth to bring? What size table? Thanks for the help. I can't get a hold of my director to answer some of these questions.

HELPFUL TIPS WHEN PLACING YOUR FIRST SUPPLY ORDER

To help you get off to a good, organized start, here are some tips concerning items you will most likely want to order from Paperwork/Supply. Many of these items are included in your kit. You will find an order form in your kit materials but it is much easier to submit your order via Pampered Partner Plus (P3). Be sure to plan ahead. If you find you are short of something at the last minute, call another Consultant to see if they have any extras. Also, catalog and paperwork changes occur on March 1st and September 1st so make sure you only buy enough to get you through the current selling season.

You DO NOT need to purchase all of these items. These are just suggestions and ideas to get you started.

As far as a table goes I have had some hosts that did not take into consideration that I would need a space to work at so I do have a table that I take with me but I leave it in my car until I know if I need it or not. I had to do a show on my knees at a rubbermaid tote one time. Anyway I have a table that I bought at Kmart that after the legs fold up the whole table folds in half and it has a handle then to carry it. It is really handy so I would recommend that.

This is part of our discussion in host coaching. What room does she have in mind and does she have a table? I also invested in the type of table you are describing to use when my hosts don't have a table for me. But I ALWAYS ask so I the host is prepared--can bring her card table out of the basement and wipe it down--or I know I have to use mine.
