Karen

Never talk about specials unless you are booking in that month! She can still get it 50% off or free right now!!
 
Good point....need to stay within the month of April since it will only be the 2nd!Karen
 
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who do you know that you actually got a consultant news before the news is old! I think I would feel so blessed if I got it before the 15th of that month. I so appreciate the spoilers as these next 3 months are so busy at my regualr job as well as in PC world.
;)
 
YAY YAY YAY!!!! I love these specials- thanks for the spoiler :) What a GREAT summer its going to be!!!!
 
I am anxious to see the Summer Essentials Set for 2 shows submitted in May. Sounds cute :) Thank you for posting.

The DCB and MFP or one or the other? That is incredible if they get both! Can definitely use gas cards!!!

Thanks so much for the info. One of my girls is signing up a friend Wednesday and now she can pick which promotion she wants and just put it in the next day if she wants April.

They get BOTH!!
 
Thanks CK. I am soo excited. I did tell my girl who is signing on the 31st because this actually is a bigger advantage for her over the 50% back on her kit,and she can sign on the 1st and I will have one recruit a month for the past 3 months. Thats awesome for me.
 
Got mine today too!!!! WOW!
 
Maybe...just MAYBE, the HO decided that it's more important to us and to our business to not have it such a secret and get us this news timely. If we know what the specials and incentives are, it just will increase bookings and recruiting. Hoping mine is in my mailbox when I get home from work.

Well, now I feel horrible. Just got an email about not posting the news before April 1. WHY would they send it early and not say anything until a day later! I am sorry ladies. I am a little irritated that they would send it out and then send an email a day later not to share the news with anyone. I know I will get over it but feel like a 'fall guy'Blessings, CKI would delete the entire threat but cannot figure out how after 30 minutes so I gave up!
 
In olden times, Directors got their CNs earlier and I don't think they were told not to share the news with their team, then it got so that they could get the CN online early but not an early paper copy. HO really doesn't want new products and travel incentive info leaked. If they put something in the hands of the USPS, I don't think they should expect it to arrive exactly on the first of the month. Don't feel bad, CK. Anyone who gets the news early has to know how to process it - continue to book in close and fill your calendar before discussing upcoming specials; have recruits sign sooner rather than later, but if it has to roll into the next month at least you know there will be something to motivate the recruit.
 
I agree as directors we used to always get our CN early. Don't feel bad, plus anyone who is consistently working their business isn't going to change when they submit a show or sign a recruit based on the new announcements, it really should just motivate them to keep working!! I know it did for me.
 
Don't feel bad. It was mailed to you and the assumption would be that it is information that is available.
 
holy great googely moogely! I need to work on my recruiting skills!!!
 
I for one want to thank you for letting us know about April. I did not get mine yet but since I am a new consultant maybe I won't. Anyway I really appreciate the heads up.
 
I wouldn't feel bad either. Just because I know ahead of time doesn't mean I'm going to stop working on my March. My March isn't going to change b/c of the new knowledge of April and beyond.

I hope HO doesn't make them later next time is what I thought when i read it. I liked getting it "on-time" for a change instead of half way through the month.
