I have my first 4 shows secured. My question is that two of them are teachers who want to do catalog shows. Will I have a website available in the first few weeks to allow online ordering? They want to have their shows in my first 30 days so I wasn't sure. Also, what is this that I keep reading about a PC debit card? Thanks so much!!

Yes, they can order from your website when you set it up. Your website won't allow INDIVIDUAL orders until you're qualified (4 shows or $1250 in sales) You don't automatically get a website, though, you have to subscribe and it costs extra.

The debit card is how you pay for your shows and such. It links to your bank account, but you can't use it for anything other than PC. Not like you can use it at an ATM...

Thank you so much!
 
Go on CC as soon as you can log in, fill out the debit card application immediately because it takes 5 business days to process and that is the only way you can pay for the website.

Ok...I'm going to go ahead and send in my agreement tonight. I wish they padded our 30 days just a little bit more to allow for stuff like that. I really want to earn all my 30 day incentives!
 
I need any tips you can give for a catalog show. I have a few of them myself and I havent had my first show yet. Most of the people who were in my first 4 are now wanting to do catalog shows.

You may not have been asking me since I'm brand new but I can tell you that I had a catalog show in January that was very successful. I sent email invites to tons of people. I didn't pre-judge if they would be broke from Christmas or whatever. I asked my husband to forward my invite to people in his office and I got lots of orders from there. I also mentioned it to people that I didn't have email for like my hairdresser. I was surprised at how many people said that they didn't have a PC consultant anymore. I had a hard time finding one myself. That is what persuaded me to sign up myself. I love the enthusiastic feedback that I get from people regarding PC. I have been a consultant with another company and never had success even in the beginning getting bookings. I also used the success from my own show to encourage bookings. I told them how much free stuff I earned just from a catalog show. I had a few people mention to me how much they liked the ability to order online for my show. They said it was very easy to do. Good luck with your first shows!!
