Kristi! I WOULD CALL and fight this one. Most definitely!!! But that is just me and how I am. I have to stand up for my rights. (Maybe because I'm short-LOL!)
Anyway, really now! On May 31st I submitted one of my consultants shows on my computer using my old Pampered Partner because her internet was down at home. Anyway, it was submitted at about 11:00pm that night and said it was successfully submitted too! I kept looking at the IPT over the next few days to see the sales show up and it never did. My Director got a call from H.O. saying that a duplicate show # was used and P.C. kicked it back. It says successful on the consultant's end but rejected on their end. However we never know about it unless we get an e-mail.
Well, to make a long story short (I know, too late!) I had to get on the phone and e-mail them pleading with them to count it for May and they finally got it taken care of. They did see an attempt was made so they took care of it. I had already had my 5 qualified at that time and she was my 6th but it was the principal of it all. My consultant had reactivated to help me out and I wanted to make sure she wasn't jipped for her hard work.
It could be too late now to change things at H.O. but I would try once more AT LEAST and talk to everyone about it and say it was attempted and as a new consultant she didn't know about updating her system. (If she's new though how come she wasn't using P3 since it comes in the kit?) You shouldn't be penalized!
I hope it all works out but the most important thing is YOU WILL be a DIRECTOR by July 1st NO MATTER WHAT and I'm so EXCITED for you! I can't wait to meet you and we can walk then!!!
