What's a Quebie?

What’s a Quebie?

Quebie (noun): A person in queue to become a Lularoe fashion consultant.

In other words:

When you first sign the papers and agree with Lularoe policies, then you are put in the “Queue.” While you are in the queue, you are considered to be a “Quebie.” The wait right now is 6-7 weeks. Then, after 6-7 weeks, you get a call from the Home Office, during this call you place and pay for your first inventory. Once you receive that call, you officially become a Lularoe Consultant! Which is why it’s so exciting, waiting for the call!

I have seen a lot of Quebies express their impatience while in Queue, and a lot of customers or those new to the Lularoe world question the reasoning for the Queue. I, for one, am so grateful for the Queue! I am so excited and yes, I want that call to come now, yes – but there is so much to do!

(I have both a personal and Lularoe To-Do List on my phone, it has saved me and my sanity!!)

One of the reasons I decided to become a Lularoe Consultant, is because of the opportunity it will give me to be a stay-at-home mom, while allowing me to make a little money and have something else that I love to do, besides being a mom. It’s not so simple though! There are a lot of in-home businesses that probably take less time, but it is Lularoe that I have fallen in love with. My family is continually awed by my sudden passion for clothes… Well, more specifically Lularoe clothing, because I still dread normal store shopping, and even more now- that I’ve found a way to avoid stores altogether!

I’ll talk more about that later though, when I write my post about my “Why.” And it’s something that is changing every day as I discover more about Lularoe, which is why it’s taking me longer to write.

While it seems the dream to work at home, it’s not a piece of cake. Back to the queue, it’s not so simple a process, to buy clothes Wholesale and then resale. There’s business licenses/registration, taxes (income, state, etc), time management/schedule, supplies (clothing racks, hangers, shipping stuff, incentives, room décor, etc.), prepping Lularoe Room (or where ever you plan to put the clothing), other storage (if you don’t plan to hang everything), and oh, how are you paying for all this and inventory? Also, learning about Lularoe, the fabrics, how they are made, you’ll need to know your colors, and how to put together outfits for customers as well. It’s a lot to process! It’s a business! AND I love it! My husband was entranced that I was reading fine print on Lularoe policies and credit card info – and so was I!

QUE CLUB:

I’ll tell you, while I have managed ‘peace’ and ‘tranquility’ while waiting in Queue, and keeping busy so I don’t get impatient… Every time my phone rings, I answer it, from all unknown callers and prerecorded calls. I even got one that tricked me, starting out, “Oh, sorry, my husband was being annoying –“ and then went on about how I had qualified for some cruise or another. Now I’ve put the Lularoe Home phone in my cell, so I know when it’s them calling. Let me tell you about the butterflies and how I squealed when I saw it was “Lularoe Home” calling the other day. They were only calling to help me verify my banking info – but it got my heart racing!

The other that gives me butterflies is the last five minutes of the Queue Club Call every Monday. They give us training on Lularoe culture and how to be the best Fashion consultant for our customers and team members. In the last five minutes they randomly pick five of the Quebies that are there listening and they are chosen to be called in the next 24hr to become a consultant!! And just this past Monday, they called TEN! Through the whole thing I was doing that thing in my head, “Don’t get your hopes up…but what if? What if it was right now?? Noooo, very unlikely, I still have plenty to do still….but what if?” (:

No I did not get called, but guess what! My 6 week mark comes THIS FRIDAY! Which means I will be getting my call from Lularoe Home NEXT WEEK!

I am so excited! And I am excited to have all of you with me on this adventure, because that is EXACTLY what this is.

I am proud to be a Quebie!
