Quick Start Boxes....

[pampmomof3]

I just promoted to Director and really wanted to get "2" QSB to have here. But, I'm wondering if I order them now for the F/W season, will I actually receive the right paperwork in there? I looked in the Leadership handbook and can't find the answer.

Do you "seasoned" Directors find them useful?

How many do order for each season?

Thanks for your answers!!!

The QSBs are essential to the New Consultant Program IMHO. I just received 5 of them - they have all F/W paperwork, so I'll just give my new recruits this month some S/S catalogs.

[cmdtrgd]

Oh, you can have 5 at a time. I only reorder when I get down to one or two. You don't have to be the one who uses them (any consultant can), but they have to put your info on the QSB part of the agreement otherwise you don't get credit for it and end up paying $35 because it wasn't used.

Thanks Kate!! I'll order them now!!

I agree that theya re essential to the new consultant program. Getting that paperwork first gives them time to read, send out packets and organize before they get the "toys".

The current QS boxes have the fall materials and must be used by mid February or we have to pay $35 for them. There is more than $35 in usable paperwork in them so it's not a loss but I really try to use the last one within the month before the deadline.

Thanks Beth! How many do you usually get for each season?

I start with 2 and keep 2 on hand until the last month (if we have to use them by Feb 15th I would have 2 until January 1). I have one on hand for that full month and if I run out after (in this example Feb 1) I do not get any more unless I have a very hot lead. So far I have only ended up with one extra box since I became a director.

I do offer them to my team to use for their recruits as well. They are usually delivered in about 2-3 days so I try not to get ahead of myself.

Thank you!! One more question~Are they big boxes? I just don't have room to store too many more items!! Especially since I don't have a office room!~:grumpy:

What's the "QSB part of the agreement"? What's in the box, just the binder stuff?

[PamperedPosey]

There is a section in the agreement that says "Did you receive a Quickstart Box?" If they check yes they have to enter the Director's consultant number to continue. I believe that's right. The box has everything in it except the actual product. Catalogs, host packets, Binder, etc.

They aren't especially big, but they are heavy! Probably about 24x8x14ish. Totally guessing, but you get the generall idea.

Now that they have changed the Super Starter Program I think its even more important to use them if its a local consultant.

[bethcooks4u]

I totally agree! I once "got stuck with" one at the end of a season and thought I'd stop using them but with the new program it is so nice to be able to give them that extra time with their paperwork before the products come and they get distracted with them.

[Happy Chef]

Good point Beth. If paperwork is what they have they'll read and look at it. Once they have the products the paperwork gets way less attention.

I ordered 2 of them and have them sitting here. I do have 2 possibles the first week of September!! May get rid of them faster than I thought!!:D
