I will earn Level 1 & 3 with my Black Friday Sale show just putting me over $3000!
 
Just talked with my last Nov. show - she got more orders. I am $17 away from $6000 so I will order something and save my Black Friday for Dec. I am so excited - this is the most I've ever sold!
 
I hit the $3000 mark - wahoo! I had high hopes of $6000, but I had 2 catalog parties not happen and 2 cooking parties barely qualify, and another one not be as good as I had hoped, so I will finish the month just over $4000. Don't ya love it when hosts tell you they have 14-16 ppl coming for sure and 2 are all that materialize!

I'm about $600 away from level 3 and I'm ok with it since this is my best month ever!
 
I'm at 3,000 and have a few good shows (fingers crossed) for Dec. Looking forward to some of the 5% pc dollars!
 
I'm at $3277 - I have one more November show tomorrow but plan on submitting that in December to ensure I have sales for that month (and yes I know it won't count towards PC $ but I'm okay with that!). I'm thrilled with my November - great commission check - I can't complain about being able to pay cash for Christmas:)
 
I can't believe I hit level 4 this SAT. I'm in shock! Don't even know how I did it! I have never even come close!:D Can't wait for those new products!:love:

Thats GREAT!! I'm also at 3200.00, I have a 300.00 catty show that I'm putting on Dec....;)
 
I MIGHT MAKE IT..right now I am at about $1430..so..I am hoping that I can get the $70that I need..I might even just order something to get there.

I am hoping so much..I really want to do this..I might send out some emails tonight..trying to get some orders quick..hhmm..have to think about what I might do
 
I had $1634 this month... that is my best month ever!! I never did more than the 2 shows in the month for sell-a-thon. I am really excited!
 
Didn't do as planned I will come up short this month. My goal was the $1500 level and will only be submitting $1200. Thats ok though I'm proud of myself as this is my highest month ever. I usually do 1 show a month but for the new year I'm looking to step up my buisness and have more shows per month.
 
I am with both of you..even if I don't get the SAT level..I am happy with my sales..I have been lagging for some time.
 
Wow, lots of people doing great with highest sales ever, highest SAT level ever, etc. Congrats everyone! And keep working it to those who are close to a level.

I hit level 4, perhaps the only time I've hit the highest level, though I've gotten directors packages in the past. Now on to earning some PC bucks in December...

The agony of having to wait until early Feb. for the new products to be announced is setting in. Thankfully my Spring Launch is on the first day.

I'm curious to see the SAT list, esp. since this year they made the requirement 2 shows by Nov. 15 and not Nov. 30. The levels usually assume you earned level 1 (2 shows). It sounds like a lot of people will earn higher levels but not nec. the 2 shows. Wouldn't that make for more complicated sorting and shipping on their part?
 
I hit just over $1500, so I am happy. that was my goal. I have 2 shows to hold and close before 12/15 and at least one catty party for December as well, so I feel good.

Well..I got home from work today..and there was an order waiting for me that someone from church had given to my mom to give to me..it was for $63..so now I am only $7 away..not concerned..I give out Season's Best for Christmas cards and I need a few more.
 
I was about $155 away from level 3 which is $3500 here. So I offered the 1K Mystery Host Show and only had one taker :( I let her gather orders anyway offering her the $20 free, 1 host special and 30% discount and she went for it and got about $160 (a show is $200 here). I then got an order for $40 so I was good to go.

The only show I had left outstanding was a catalog one where I hadn't heard from the host at all (repeat catalog and cooking show host) so that's why I had offered the Mystery Host. Well my catalog host called this morning and we closed the show at $1400!! :D :D So now I'm at $5040, made level 3 and will remove the smaller $200 mystery host show and put it with my one December show on the 3rd to get that incentive as well! :)

God is good!

I have been thinking the same thing. Usually it seems like it is $1500 included what was earned for 2 shows... I am sure they will figure out a way to do it. I was always thrilled that earning "a" product for 2 shows seemed to always be a few products. I can only imagine what $1500 will be!!

Before even though the 2 shows took all month to earn you didn't earn it in the $1500 level unless you submitted 2 shows.

WOW!! Thats GREAT!!
 
To my surprise I just hit the $1,500 level, which is also my best month this year. I had a fantastic show that I just closed, a decent show earlier this month, and, as a result of sending the newsletter, a couple of nice individual orders. Both the products and commission will really help - my only December show wants to reschedule but is not answering voicemails, and I have no January shows scheduled yet.
 
Okay I'm changing things up a bit. I just entered my small mystery host show of $201.00 to November to confirm my SAT numbers and it will bring my sales to $5040 like I mentioned earlier plus I forgot about two online orders so my SAT is $5102.

I'm not moving this show to December to get two shows by the 15th after all because if I leave it where it is, it's only costing me $12 to the host for what she chose at the discounts for the mystery show and it makes me at the top commission level available - 27% for $5000 or higher, so that's another % which makes another $51 for me.

If I don't get a second show in December that's okay with me. I'm sure the one product for two shows submitted by the 15th isn't going to be equivalent to the $51 extra I get submitting this show in November and bumping up my commission level to the top one.

Does this make sense? I'm getting so excited I'm confused. I've got to work from 4 - midnight tomorrow so have to get this done and submitted tonight or tomorrow morning and want to make sure I'm not missing something :)
 
I closed a show tonight that put me over $1500 for November. Host had a $200 Show then spent $150 herself so it put me at $305 in commissionable sales! Gotta love hosts who spend a ton themselves and I get commission for it!!
 
I wanted to get to the $3000 level for several reasons, but I'm still $525 away so I'm not holding out too much hope. I got a few orders from my Black Friday online sale and a booth I did at a Black Friday sale. I did also set up a Cyber Monday sale so I still have a chance, it's a long shot, but it's a chance!

At least I made the $1500 level which is a level higher than I got at the last SAT (I was in I think month 2 of my business). So who knows, next SAT maybe I can get to the $3000 level!
 
wow, every time i read posts from the more experienced Cheffers, i get all envious.

My biggest show was $501 and I've JUST hit $1500 right at my 90 day mark (next Monay is my 90 days). I can't imagine a $1000 show at this point, let alone a $10,000 month! Crazy! I'd love to pocket $2000 this month! Would pay for a lot of Christmas presents for my new son (who will enjoy the boxes more than the gifts anyway :D) Haha.

Can I be you guys when I grow up? Seriously! You go girls! (and guys!)
 
Just submitted the catalog show from hell that was supposed to be a cooking show in Oct. That $290 put me just over $3K for the first time ever! WAHOO!! Back in Jan. I set as one of my goals to make level 2 of a sell-a-thon and I did it! Happy Dance!!!!!!
Icing on the cake--one of my new recruits submitted their first show over the weekend and I'm now a Sr. Consultant (after 3 yrs--HA HA!--and am seeing OVERRIDES on Consultant Connection! YIPPEE!!!
 
I made it..I made it to $1500..I am so happy. I was really hoping to..I had a girl do a $314 catalog show..and that was what I needed to get me over the $1500. Plus I had already submitted 2 shows between the 1st and 15th so I will get that product as well.

PLUS..the commission will be great..and every little bit helps..since I am using my PC money to send myself on a cruise.

Everyone is doing so well! Yay!! I, however, have a little over $1,600 for the month. I'm submitting 2 shows for December, but they're just a little over $500 totaled together. I had to cancel a Dec. 5th show because I forgot it was my daughter's piano recital. DD could care less if she played, but we're scheduled, so we're going! Don't get these chances too much, and it's important! My host was VERY cool about it, and understood BUT won't book "until after the holidays". NO shows booked for December AT ALL. I was told that THIS is the BIG month, by my director... guess I'm not with the rest of the crowd.....

So I'll be hearing "Jingle Bells" played by my 11 year old for the umpteenth time, and LOVE EVERY MINUTE OF IT!:)
 
I just submitted my last show of the month and my biggest too. I only do PC part-time but I was so excited to at least have $3800 in sales for November. Just started in March and this was my biggest month yet. And I've also reached my 10 k in my first 9 months. I cant wait to get lots of free spring products!! Wahoo!
 
My month will end at 5500. I'm 500 short of my 6000 goal. If my FR would have been what I thought it was going to be, I would have been at 7,000. Oh well, I can handle at $5500 month! :)
