I don't see a reason to give away the whole boat (but then again Don has way more to give away from), it's not an issue to have the $200 in outside orders -- I would say that 3 out of 5 do it. My shows that have it are usually always over $800.

How do you get 3 out of 5 of your hosts to collect $200 in outside orders? Do you use a flyer or do you just talk about it during host coaching. Also just wondering how many shows you do a month. I have been admiring how many shows you have done in two years! Awesome.

Host coaching is key....I make sure they know that "My most successful hosts have at least $200 in outside orders from people who can't attend by the night of the show." And before I leave, I total the orders so far and let them know that they will most likely get another $200 in orders before we close (in 3-4 days). I tell them to focus on that level -- they don't want to go back after they have "spent" the larger amount in free products.
I usually do 2 shows a week (but have done 4 a week in the busy fall season, though -- includes 1 on Friday, 2 on Sat and 1 on Sunday) and always have 2-6 catalog shows most months.
And oddly enough, I only did 4 shows this month, but with catalog shows and 1 show from last month, I am at $4800+ in sales this month. Hmmm...still can't figure that one out, although 2 were over $800 and one was over $900...oh, and $1000+ from online sales.
