OK, please correct me if I am wrong! The new consultant promo states that as long as the new consultant signs by the end of Dec she/he is entitled to an extra 30 days in the new consultant program. Right???:confused:

My thoughts are, I have about 4-5 people on the fence and looking at starting in the New Year...if I get them signed by Dec 31st then they can earn even more PC $$ with the extra 30 days...is this right and is that wrong if everyone holds out until Dec 30/31 to sign? :angel:

I think with a host and guest special like we have in Jan & Feb all new consultants would have HUGE success! :D What are your thoughts?
 
***nodding in agreement**
I KNOW that for me personally, signing up to be eligible for double points was a huge bonus. I signed BEFORE my show just to be sure that I could take advantage of it. This is an AWESOME opportunity for new recruits!!:D :D
 
As I understand it - yes, if you sign by Dec. 31, you are eligible. That being said - that's exactly what I'm doing. I was going to sign at the end of Dec/beg. of Jan originally (already have 5 shows in Jan), but now, definitely going to sign at the end of Dec - maximize my 30 (I mean 60) starting days, as well as my 90 (okay 120) days. :D

With Jan and Feb's specials - it is a fabulous time to start!!!
 
And, anyone starting out will still be eligible for double and bonus points in January and February for the 2008 trip incentive. Wa-hoo! Get off to a big bang!
 
If they are on the fence, go over what they could earn in January and February by doing the shows they want to in January and February if they were to sign in December. If that works for them, plan to submit their agreement after Christmas. What they should be doing right now is getting those shows on the books so they can start off right!

Exactly! This promotion gives them the incentive to get the shows booked and be ready to jump in with lots of business in the new year! AND if they want they can put together a catalog show still in December even if they sign after Christmas.

Pampered Chef is SOOOOOOO good to us!:love:

I've sent a few letters regarding the current consultant special and why everyone should start NOW (only sending a few a day so I can stay on top of it). Unfortunately I got a "amazing offer, but now is not a good time", BUT I also got a "can we meet on Monday?" I am following up with the others tonight. I'll keep you posted!
