I have a new consultant who hasn't qualified and shes is doing a Bridal Shower Show but she keeps telling me she can't set it up online. So now, I'm starting to doubt myself. Since it would be set up as a show, she should be OK, right? It's only if she wants it set up as a Wedding Registry that she'd have a problem, right? And if she wants it set up as a Wedding Registry, could I do that on MY site and still give her the orders? I haven't done a Wedding Registry yet so I'm not sure how that works. Don't the orders process like individual orders in that case?

Help! Break it down for me please!

She can set up a show, and she can collect orders for that.

Until qualification she CANNOT:
accept individual orders (including outlet)
set up wedding registries

I KNEW you'd be the one to answer me! LOL! AND I finally just found it in the Policies and Procedures. I was looking in the wrong section. Thanks Janet!

So Registry orders DO process like individual orders. Meaning, if I set it up on my website, I would get the sales credit, correct?
 
Wedding Registry orders process like individual orders so you cannot set it up on yours and give her the orders, they will automatically go through to HO through your website.

Great! Thanks! That's exactly what I wanted to confirm. Janet, do you remember everything you read or what? You are awesome with reference stuff! Wish I had that kind of memory.

Thanks again!

I used to (not a photographic memory, just decent), but lately with 2 little kids I forget some things...probably because between them and all the activities I do I get worn down. Either that or they sucked my brain cells!!!!

I am great with numbers and usually horrible with names though!
 
Oh, and it really did help to read through the entire policy and procedure manual when I started...along with do a lot of research. :)

Man, I seem to forget everything! LOL! But I don't have good excuse. Hmmm... Maybe I can blame the Air Force.

I actually read most of it but then they changed several things. I'm a geek like that too, I'll read stuff just because.
 
Can't the wedding registry be set up through Consultant's Corner???
