I have a new awesome recruit, Melissa, who signed earlier this month. She had her first show last week (her mom's the host), and it was $958 commissionable sales. Her 30 days is up on September 10th. Right now she has nothing until the 9th and isn't planning to close that show for up to a week afterwards. She was getting ready to submit the first show tonight but called me to ask a question. Luckily I answered the phone, because I found out how close she was to $1000. I asked her to call her mom to see if there was anything else she needed to get her up and over the $1000 mark. She did, and surpassed it by a few dollars!

She gets the $77.50 rebate (which she is so excited about!), I get $200 ($100 for her submitting $1000 in 30 days, $100 bonus for attending conference). I am so excited - the money couldn't come at a better time to help with school costs!

YAY, PC!
 
That is great!!
 
Yea for you Diane! I'm cheering for you!

I know that I will be watching all of my recruits soooo closely when it comes to their 30 days - don't want to miss out on that $$!
