I have 2 shows coming up that the gals want to co-host the show. Since I haven't ever done a co-hosted show I wondered if you seasoned Consultants could give me a heads-up on how it is done. I just installed P3 last night and I see there is a spot to put in the co-host name. They don't both get the Host Special, right? Just one Host Special and then they can split the rest of the Host Benefits ie: split amount of free product, etc. Then do they both receive the PHD 10% card from TPC? Want to be informed when I talk to them. Thanks for your help. You are all the greatest!! So much help! Appreciate it!:angel:

I don't mind co-hosting as long as they are on the same page and decide for themselves how they are dividing the rewards. I don't like the feeling when I'm having to "lead" them to decide who gets the Host Special etc... so far that has only happened once and the others have been great. You've got your info correct to share with them! Have fun!
The first show is with sisters and the one called and asked if they have enough if they can just split the show and each have their own (I think they are both wanting 60% off cookware) and I told them that I was pretty sure they could do that. The second co-hosted show is in Oct and is a mother and DIL. I am sure the mom will let the DIL have the special for Oct. and she will just be a "helper" to her DIL.

I discourage co-hosting by pointing out that they will need to figure out how to split the benefits to keep it fair and it's up to them (one usually does way more of the prep...).
BUT if they want to co-host I point out with a $700 show they will get 3 half price items so they could each take one and then if they both want the 60% off item they can use the last half price to buy the other and both get it for 55% off. That usually makes it work and it helps motivate them to get their sales up to at least that $700 range.
I also point out that they can totally decide how they want to split things up between the two of them and I will honor their decision AND that both of them get the discount and 10% off for a year.

I have a co-hosted show next Saturday. It is a neighborhood show (great neighborhood - I do shows there all the time!) and on neighbor offered to have the show for another neighbor. She really wanted to get the 60% off cookware, but her house is being remodeled right now, and wouldn't be ready for a show. So the neighbor who is having it at her house (already has the cookware) will use the 50% items, and then the discount.....and the neighbor who initially wanted the show will use the 60% off, get free product value, and the discount.....they already worked it out themselves!

My co-hosted shows have gone well. I let them know up front that only one can get the host special. They will have to decide who gets that and how they want to divide the free products. They'll both get the discount and the PHD. Only one will get the booked-from host benefit, though. I always tell them it's up to them to fight it out, and they'll need to have those decisions made (except the booked-from, of course), before I arrive to close the show.
