This is going to seem like a very weird question and you may be wondering my sanity. A little back story... I met this host at a couple's party. The husband was way more into PC and the products than the wife is. He agreed to host a party last March. One of the worst actual parties I have ever done but $1103 in sales later, my first thousand dollar show. I caught on that he likes a challenge so at the time I bribed him with the host special for free if he hit $1000. He was more than happy to. Last fall, he did a catalog show for me. I offered an extra $25 free if he beat his last show. I wasn't going to pass up a $1140 catalog show.
So fast foward to now. I really, really want him to do another show for me but he is stubborn. He doesn't like the upcoming host specials and maybe wants to wait until July. There is no talking him out of it. The last time we talked, I brought up a HWC fundraiser. Talked about how 20-25% of the show total would go to ACS plus the HWC products (DID NOT MENTION PINK!). All he asked was what he would get out of it since he wouldn't get any products for free.
I was thinking of offering him free product value totalling half my commission - if he get a $1000 fundraiser. I know it sounds crazy but this host has been very good to me and I would LOVE to have him do a $1000 fundraiser for me. That would be $250+ going to ACS. My commission would be at least $187 so giving him half "value" would be at least $93. What I was thinking of doing was either putting his "order" on the fundraiser under his name using his PHD (more comm. and fundraiser money), or tack it onto my own show I'm doing later on this month, getting the past host discount and commission.
Am I crazy??? I really have no problem doing this because he has been a wonderful host. I've had good parties from him (3 in the last year), booked multiple parties off his and would love to do this for HWC. I thought I would see if anyone would consider doing this or if I am truly just crazy!
