okay, lets see if I can explain this question. I am part of the Super starter program. I am currently working on my second month. I received the 1st super starter bonus. I am working on my second now... my question is do I have to accrue the 1250.00 in sales by the end of March to qualify? On the tracking portion of CC it says super starter end date for me is in April. But I am assuming that if I don't hit 1250.00 by March 31 that my sales will start from scratch for April... am I even making any sense? Sorry, my mind is thinking it but my fingers aren't typing it. I might just be okay. I am at $919.00 from my two shows that I have had so far this month. I have one more show but it doesn't look very promising and I also have a catalog show going but who knows if it will close in time since she just started yesterday. I really want these free products so I need to figure out how much harder I need to work to get them!:) Any answers?
 
hey, I'm also in my 2nd month of SS! :) I earned the first month, but this one is slipping through my fingers. ;( From what I understand, you qualify with your first 4 shows or when sales hit $1250. In order to earn the SS rewards, each month starts at 0. Whatever you sell above and beyond the $1250 each month goes into a "bank" and once that reaches $1250 (in addition to the $1250 for the month), you get to choose one of their bonus packages. I really, really wanted the bonus for this month, but Im' about $880 away!! :( But I think I might get the other bonus next month. Problem is I don't want any of that stuff! I want the mandoline and grater and colander set! Wahhh!
 
Have you ladies hosted your own show? If not this would be a great way to boost your business by hosting your own show!!

I know about the bonus bank and have a little money in there. I just hope I have enough time to get more sales in. I'll take anything free! What I don't need I give as booking specials and it has really helped me. I really hope I make it!
 
When is your next show??? What are you doing to get bookings?

I have done 6 shows so far and have a full calendar through out April... I am actually booking mid week at this point! :D I was awarded the "TOP PERFORMER" in my cluster for February! So I have been able to wear the red apron for the month! Not bad for my first month ey?

Next show is Saturday the 31st. Plus I have a catty going right now. Last month I did book to look but this month and April I am doing "cans for a cure". I have 4 cans decorated in pink orange and brown w/ breats cancer ribbons on them and "help whip cancer" sayings. If they want to book a show they use the can opener to open a can, inside there is a free product that they receive at their show as long as they hold the original date. Plus one of the cans has a hwc pin inside. If they get that one I also will buy them a guest special from the hwc products at their show. I got 3 bookings at my last show! May will be very busy!:D

ummm... lol no. Where can I find it? Probably about 400 or so
 
Brandi If it is the same as it was when I started then if you dont hit the 1250 at the end of month 2 it does NOT roll over. you will need to start over at 0 in your month 3. I hope this makes sense.

It does. The more I thought about it I realized it was just wishful thinking! If it rolled over than why would I be working so hard to beat the goal! It makes tons of sense. Oh well. Wish me luck! Thank you!

No, I haven't hosted my own show. YET! I have only had 3 shows - the first was $1235, the second was $678 and the last was $400. So right now my show average is about $770. NOt bad, right? Well, I only had 1 show this month. I have 2 booked already for next month and several leads for next month. I think I was spoiled with such awesome shows in Feb I really didn't think I'd have to work so hard this month, but 1 show canceled and this last show just didn't do as well as I"d hoped. I'm doing my own catty show this week and praying to get at least to $150 so I can get the mandoline for 60% off - I was planning on getting it with the bonus. That along with the colanders and the grater and the citrus press. Sigh....
