Can You Order the Special Before??

[lisatx04]

I am a new consultant, and am trying to find my way into being successful. I thought I read somewhere that you can purchase the special for an upcoming month before the month starts to show at your shows. Am I imagining this or is this true? I am going to get out my book to try and see where I found it but any help would be appreciated!!

Thanks.

Yes, if there is something on "sale" as the guest special, the month before you can order it on a personal order and get your 20% off of the sale price.

If it is "free" with purchase, you can do that too, but you must make whatever the minimum purchase is on a personal order and then you can get the free item. (Your purchase after your discount would need to be $60 in product in order to get the free seasonings, for example, in March.)

If there's anything else...can somebody correct me?

Ditto Jennifer's comment!! How do we do this Kelly? Enter it as a personal order or what??

 

[jenniferknapp]

Yup, personal order through PP/PP3!!!PS: If you didn't earn the dish cloths, I advise you too! I got a booking at Thursday's show just because of them!!!

Do our personal orders count toward our sales for career sales/recognition/trip purposes? Can't remember!!

No, they don't.

specialIs the 20% off of the host special price? For example can we buy the trifle bowl at 20% off of the $15.60 price? If so, how do you do this?

We are only able to order the GUEST specials using our discount. In order to get the host special, you would actually have to host a show.

Remember, too- you do not receive commission on host specials (for the current OR past host) nor do you receive commission on 50% off items that the host purchases...You DO receive commission on anything "extra" they purchase using their earned (15-30%) discount. So make sure you are telling them they have this ONE TIME ONLY....UNLIMITED discount to encourage them to order extra!
