Okay - it's officially July! Hooray! I am so looking forward to Conference...and finding out what I've earned!
I made it to the $3000 level, which was my goal. I know going into June that it's a tough month for me SAT-wise. Between the end of school, graduations, weddings, vacations...etc...it seems like its a big month for cancellations & reschedules. I had 3 shows reschedule, but still ended the month with 5 Cooking Shows, an individual order that turned into a Catalog show, and a couple Outlet orders. All told, I ended up with $3168 in sales. Whew!
Even more exciting is that I have 7 Cooking Shows and a Bridal Shower in July, and I have guest lists for all but one of those shows! (and invites already out for 5 of them!) I also already have 5 shows booked for August, which is a RECORD for me! August has, traditionally, been my very worst month of the year, and I am doing everything I can to ensure that I break that chain this year!
So - how did everyone do? Did you meet your goals? Did you learn something to help you meet your goals for next SAT?
I know that my Director has finally decided to mail out invites - because she had over half of her June shows cancel, because people "Just got too busy" to get invites out!
