I'm trying to earn level 1 of the new spring products. I'm at $840 for the month so far, and there is 9 days left. I still have a show open that I'm hoping I can get another $100 on or so. But as of right now, I'm only $410 away! I know that sounds like a lot to most, but let me just say, that I think that is the closest I've ever been during a promo month like that. I've exhausted all of my potential hosts, and none of them want to book before January. I have 4 shows scheduled for January which is great and all, but...I really want to earn some new spring products!

I'm out of ideas....I'm even hosting my own catalog show and inviting everyone that hasn't recently purchased or that isn't already on a show right now. Since I've recently restarted my business in a new place, that doesn't leave very many people. DH is trying to collect holiday orders at work, but I don't know if we have $410 to get.

Any ideas? Should I just quit trying to pursue this so hard? I'm 2/3 there! Just don't know where to get that last 1/3 from!

Thanks in advance for suggestions!
 
Hi, Heather
I would really work on increasing individual orders to help you. any one who has placed an order less then $60 should be told about the stackable cooling rack. even shows that have closed you could call the guest as customer service and ask If they have one for all those christmas cookies to come. good luck. Andrea
 
black friday sale? even if you offer a 20% discount, you will get the sales and a couple cents of incentives...
 
I am only $209 away from level 2!!! i had no idea i could ge this close! I just wish this sell-a-thon was in december. I have 4 shows booked, one catalogue, and another woman who wants to do a show in december!
This is the end of my SS months and i really want to get that extra $209! HELP! he he
 
No real advice, but keep trying Heather! I originially had a goal of level 2, and I am really far away from that, but I have a few more shows left to close, and I am going to keep praying that I reach it! I didn't earn anything in June, so level 2 would be amazing!

Sarah, don't forget to push toward the Dec promo! It might not be free products, but you could earn a trip next year! (and don't forget about the comission check!)

Good Luck Ladies!
 
oh yeah, commission! I keep forgetting about that one! he he. I have kinda spent all my commission on products and supplies that i really have not had a chance to enjoy it! Thanks! And keep going girls! I am an old pro at this by now (3 months under my belt, baby!) he he. but i can always be encouraging!
