Maximizing Commission: Strategies for Salvaging Unsold Catalog Shows in Nov.

[lockhartkitchen]

I have 5 catalog shows for Nov. that I didn't keep up with before the end of the month. I don't think they've done anything (I'm calling today). With everything I've read they only benefit I'll get when these close into Dec. is commission? Is this correct? In order to go toward Dec. promotion show had to be held and submitted in Dec. If they haven't started them yet, I'm going to offer them the Dec. special.

I do think you are correct. Sometimes it is hard to keep up, and sometimes it is hard to get hosts to close.

I'm mad at myself. I would have easily hit the $3000 mark. I'm releasing myself and just going toward Dec. sales now. I'm really going to encourage the catalog shows as Dec. ones and I have 2 Dec. cooking shows already. I should have a nice % at the end of the month in PC dollars.

I would get on the phone girl!! There could be lots of orders out there for stoneware!

Don't give up yet! You still have 2 days left. Get a hold of those hosts! You didn't blow it until tomorrow night at midnight.

Sorry... my catalog shows pushed me over the 3000 mark this month. But I have worked all of them like jobs (or so the saying goes) ha ha ha!

Hey, when I went to get my perm done this afternoon, I left a catalog and OOF with the ladies. I told them if they would let me know by tomorrow night at 6 p.m. and had $150 in sales, one of them could get the DCB for $26! The Manager said her Mom loves stoneware and I showed her the prices! It can't hurt and can only help my sales! Unless my other three catalog shows come up with HUGE sales, I'll not reach $3,000 but my $1,580 as of now is a personal high so I am really excited!
