I wonder how many total consultants we have?
My friend sells Tastefully Simple and in their newsletters, it tells each month how many total consultants they have and broken down by how many per state. I know why PC does not release this information, but just for curiosity sake - I'd like to know!!!

I've heard that it is because they don't want people to think their market it saturated. If people see there is someone else in their neighborhood they may be more likely to not sign thinking they can't be a consultant who lives in that neighborhood also. Instead they want people to know that there are still millions of people who haven't been introduced to PC and new consultants can always be successful, no matter how many people in their area are consultants. hth!

This was the only "con" I could come up with when I was deciding on joining. I had thought about PC for months but I was PG at the time. After I had my baby, I found out a consultant moved here, a rural small town, and so I never thought about it again. Then I hosted a party with her and was sooooo excited that I eventually signed on with my kit credit from my show. Here I am 2 years later loving it. Strange thing is we do have different customers and it has worked out fine.....but I was intimidated thinking I would not find a customer base here!
