In today's discussion, we will reveal the intricacies of personal and customer orders. What sets them apart? What are the various use cases they offer? Let's start by exploring personal orders.
Personal Orders: Tailoring Choices to Your Preferences
Imagine yourself as a consultant with unrestricted access to our product catalog brimming with enticing offerings. Now, you stumble upon a navigation option to place a personal order. What could motivate this choice? The reasons are quite straightforward:
- Buying for yourself regularly: as a consultant, you get special discounts, which makes it a good choice to place personal orders for yourself.
- Sampling the product: evaluating products yourself to sell them better.
- Showcasing the product at parties: having the product available helps boost sales or create content for online parties.
- Local vendor events: to show products in a “one to many” setting - way to expand customer base.
- Giveaways: gifting product to your loyal customers, running consultant-led promo programs, etc
Customer Orders: Building Connections and Earning Rewards
Now, let's pivot our attention towards customer orders and explore the varied use cases from a consultant's perspective. Why would a consultant opt for a customer order?
1. Party Orders: Consultants frequently host gatherings where customers place orders during the event. Consultants curate shopping carts for customers and handle order processing during these occasions.
2. Non-Event Orders: Consultants have the flexibility to place orders outside of events, often catering to acquaintances from workplaces, fitness centers, or other social circles. This enables them to serve the needs of their customers efficiently.
3. Online Orders: Consultants possess the capability to craft customer orders and share them with customers, who can subsequently finalize their orders at their convenience.
4. PWS Links: Consultants can conveniently share Personal Web Shop (PWS) links with customers, simplifying the reordering process for loyal customers.
5. Auto-Save Orders: Consultants can establish auto-save orders for products expected to be consumed gradually, ensuring a consistent supply of essential items.
Customer orders also serve as a means to expand a consultant's network and accrue commissions. By inviting hosts to events, consultants can further broaden their potential customer base.
Key Distinctions: Personal vs. Customer Orders
- Rewards: Personal orders aim to offer consultants discounts, whereas customer orders are integrated into a reward program, aiding consultants in earning commissions.
- Checkout Process: Customer orders necessitate additional information, including shipping addresses, while personal orders afford greater flexibility in terms of payment methods, encompassing store credits and account balances.
- Billing: Consultant discounts are automatically applied to personal orders but can also be utilized for customer orders. Account balances are exclusively available for personal orders.
- Payment: Payment for customer orders is typically handled by the customer, who provides their credit card information to the consultant. A secure share card feature streamlines this process.
- Network Expansion: Customer orders facilitate the expansion of a consultant's network, potentially resulting in increased sales and commissions.
In conclusion, personal orders predominantly cater to consultants seeking to acquire products for personal use, sampling, or giveaways, while customer orders empower consultants to expand their networks and earn rewards. Grasping the distinctions between these types of orders is imperative for consultants and customers alike, aiding them in making informed decisions when navigating our platform for shopping or sales endeavors.
