Of course I know sample packages are avaliable each season which brings me to question #1(and I should know this after 3 years but I am on good drugs for vertigo so work with me;) ) What are the months for each season? Like spring/summer is it MArch -Aug? etc and Fall Winter would be Sept -JAn ok anyway...

2nd question is about host and guest specails...it came to my attention when I saw HWC items were avaliable to purchse as samples the in April so we could have them to display and "entice" customers to book in MAy..so here is my 2nd question... Can we always order the specials a month in advance?

I really wish I had taken things serious with this business the fisrt time around b/c now people look at me like I am a moron b/c I been with company 3 years but ask questions of a newbie:rolleyes:

It is always spelled out on the flyer announcing the sell-a-thon. The current one is on CC.

Yes, we can get the guest specials a month ahead but we have to do whatever is required of the guest (if it's spend $60 we have to do that). It would normally be a personal order under noncommissionable orders.

It's okay! Remember, that's the beauty of our business - it fits around your life! (NOTE: I see that you represent other companies - that might be contributing to your confusion.;) ) - oh, and you are not a "moron"!
 
S/S = March 1st -Aug 31

F/W = Sept. 1st -End of February
