Wow! Just closed an over $500 catalog show, and realized that with that, I've already hit the $3000 level of Sellathon! Whoo Hooo! (some of it still has to be submitted)

More than Sellathon, I'm excited because my goal is a $10000 month to ensure that I am Disney Bound! 4 Shows next week to help me with that goal too! :-)
 
Wahoo, Becky!

I had a party turned in last Wednesday that was $775 and just left one that's already at $670. We'll be closing that next weekend. I've got another party on the 14th and a fundraiser that I have high hopes for. :) I'm wanting the $3,000 level for sell-a-thon. OK, secretly, I want $6,000 but I'm being realistic! :D

You can do it, Crystal!
 
I had 2 shows this week. They are still expecting a few large outside orders to come in, so we'll see. But right now one is at $885.50 and the other is at $675.25. I have a catalog show going on and another show on the 20th. That's about it for this month. I wanted to do more, but 2 of my kids have birthdays this month, my son is getting baptized, and my in-laws are coming, plus Thanksgiving and a big craft event at my church. So I ran out of available days to do them. :(But I'm at least going to reach the $1500 level. :)
 
Good for you Becky! I'm very excited that you are about to earn Disney. I've had to scale back my biz to the bare minimum these past few months and through the rest of the year while taking care of my dad. I won't earn Disney afterall - but I am excited that conference is paid for next year.
 
Wow Becky! A 10K month would be awesome. Cheering the rest of you on as well.

Linda, hugs and prayers that life settles down a bit for you.

Linda - I totally understand! One reason I am working so hard now is because at the beginning of the year, I had to just do the bare minimum because I was taking care of my Mom. Family comes first, and it's one of the reasons why I love this business - I can put my family first, and PC will still be there.
 
You're so right, Becky. It's great to be able to determine how much of each day's 24 hours (or each week's 168 hours) to devote to PC.I'll definitely have the 2 shows and the $1,500 level. Depending on calls I'll be making over the next few days, it's very possible that I'll hit the $3,000 level. I'll just have to see.
 
You go girl!!! I only work PC part time, but between booths, cooking shows & catalog shows, I had 11 events planned for this month. My last host decided to sign, so that's 1 show gone. I gave her a friend's booking too, so that's a 2nd one gone. TWO of my cooking shows canceled this week (which is VERY odd for me), so that's 4 shows down. I gave my 3 new recruits the option of helping out at my booths, so that's 4 more of my 11 gone! Last night my current catalog host e-mailed & said she gives up without enough to make a show but wants to bring me the two orders she did get. At this rate I'm going to be scraping by to make the $2,500 for HO leads! I did book another catalog show, so I still have 2 catalog shows & 3 cooking shows that are mine. I lucked out into $300 in orders yesterday at my booth after the recruits left. I do have one booth later in the month that none of the recruits could work so I'll get some sales there. It's a monthly event and I usually make $200-$250 each time that I work it.I decided 2 days ago to put together a $1,000 Mystery Host show. I'm working on it now. I haven't sent out the e-mail yet, it's taking forever to sort through 971 contacts & pull out just the ones who are here on Okinawa!!! But I already have 3 volunteers to participate out of just the ones that I've spoken with in person. :D So hopefully that will help out a LOT this month for SAT!!

$1000 Mystery Host Shows have pulled me through more than once!

The hardest balance I had to find for myself was the balance of recruiting and sales. It took me a long while...

BUT - on a bright note for you - the $2500 doesn't have to be all you! You have to maintain $1250 in sales for 3 of the last 4 months (and I know you have!) and the $2500 can be made up by your team sales too! Since part of your shows have been given to your team, you should be all set there!
 
GO BECKY!!!!!! GO ALL OF US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone is doing SUPER!!!!!!!!!!
I'll post sometime but have to go to bed at some point also! Just wanted to cheer you on!
 
I've already got over $5000 waiting to be submitted - and 7 more shows this month (two of which are FR's) so I am set for the top level of SellaThon. Unfortunately a big chunk of those sales are fundraisers so while my #'s are up there, my wallet is not benefiting.
 
I'm doing the $1000 mystery host show too! I also have 2 shows so far this month hoping to get more. I would like to hit the $3000 level but for me that's a long shot. I've only been doing one show a month. Maybe this thread will keep me accountable and the motivation I need to get more shows.

I won't be submitting my 2 show before the 15th. Everything I have is afterwards.
 
Becky - you rock! I would love to see you have a $10,000 month. What a great paycheck!

Sheila - while many things are falling apart for your month, I see a lot of bright spots in there with your team and your continued contact with hosts and customers.

I always love the fact that with SAT, no matter how much or little you work your biz, there's something for you, whether the 2 show level or the higher levels.

I've got a little over $3,000 to submit with 3 more shows and a fundraiser to do. Plus I'm hoping that a booth I did today will generate some online sales with a special offer that I made. Fingers are crossed to hit the $6,000 level (need those Disney points!!!). Depending on how things develop, I will do a Black Friday sale to put me over. When (not "if") I hit $6,000, it will be the first time in a long time or ever that I reached the top level of a SAT. I've gotten the Director Package before but never the top sales level.

I keep forgetting about the December part of SAT. Still trying to scrape together some shows for that to at least get the 2 in before the 15th. I would love to earn some PC bucks. I'm sick of paying for catalogs.
 
Great job everyone!

I had my mystery host show last weekend - nearly $800 in sales. Vendor event today - $150 in sales so I'll get the 2 shows submitted by the 15th. I still have 5 cooking shows and 1 catalog show this month so I'm sure I'll hit $1500 and hoping for $3000 level! I love earning anything for free so I'm psyched - plus I will love the paycheck as well:)
 
My December is packed! Already have 6 shows ( I know it's going to be a killer!) However, November is terrible. Two cooking shows, one catalog show and one stop-n-shop. I put together a mystery host. It has 9 participants- it should be over $1000 but I don't think I'll hit $3000 this time :(

OMG! I knew that last month!!! Why was I thinking that it had to be $2,500 this month? Who knows. :rolleyes: Anyway, my last 4 months were: $1347.84, $1,100.94, $4,385.30 & $3,724.46 - so I have to do $1,250 this month to get HO leads.

Oh, and I just gave away another show tonight! LOL Recruit #3 was here closing her first show, saw my list of shows & said that another November host is her friend who was invited to her show!!! LOL Now she knows why the girl didn't come or order, she's hosting a show herself!

So now I'm down to 2 catalog shows, 2 cooking shows & 1 booth. I've already submitted $491 and have a catalog show that is currently at $238.90 (he requested 11/9-11/16, so technically it hasn't even started yet!). Recruit #3 just submitted $700.20 tonight and has another show waiting to be entered with 2 more shows this month. So I'm feeling more confident now that the team will do $2,500 in sales this month. :D
 
Becky, you rock!

I have significantly less activity, but that's OK ... I'm working a lot of hours this year that I wasn't last year. Last year I had five shows (including the one from hell) in November and still didn't make the $1,500 level. I decided that was too much for me.

So .... I have two shows in November and a craft fair and an order, whch I hope to turn into my own catty show. If not, I will throw those orders on with one of my shows. My show today had one guest and is turning into a pretty good catalog show. I will get them in on or before the 15th and then we will see!
 
I have 1 show turned in for $800. My mystery host show will close on Wednesday. It's right at $600 right now with only two hosts actually submitting anything so I cannot complain. Hopefully their orders will put it up more. So just between those two I'll hit level 2. I have 1 catalog show open and 3 shows this next week. We'll see what happens. Hoping I can hit $3000!
 
I have yet to submit a show but I will be closing one out tomorrow that is sitting at 860.
One I plan on closing Wed that right now is at 350 and another one I will be closing ot at 250. I still have 1 catty show going 5 shows left and 1 booth to do.I really hope to hit the 6K level and I do then I will only have to do abot 2500 and Disney level 1 is in the bag.
 
I'm doing happy dance here......between first 2 things of month sales at just over 3000.00. I've got 2 fundraisers this week and a show, and 2 more shows before end of the month, so I'm hoping and praying for the directors pack. But I'll be happy with anything, as I slowed down over summer, so I'm thrilled to get anything!!

Way to go Becky!!!!!!

As of last night I have a $326 catalog show and $670 show (with more order's coming in & will close on Wed's) waiting to be submitted. I also have $70 in order's from my event this past Friday to add to someone's show.

I still have two parties and two catalog show's to close. I am hoping to get a confirmation on a third party for the 20th today. I should make $1500 with no problem, and hoping for $3000.

On a side note, I followed up with four of my leads from this past friday and booked all of them for December. I had nothing on the calendar. I am so excited!
 
I have shows on the 19th and the 21st. Unfortunately with the "new" rules that doesn't qualify me for 2 free products...I really wish they hadn't minimized that to 15 days. I'll probably be under the $1500, but I can always hope. I can't cram anything more in my calendar though, I have EVERY night this week booked with activities and almost every night next week...my family needs me too!

And I really wish I'd read the fine print better on that. I guess it's "never assume" right?:rolleyes: but I had been encouraging all of my team - even those who are hobbiests, to get 2 shows in this month to earn a free product...many of them have at least 2 shows booked, but not within the 1-15th time frame. I feel so bad for not being more on top of that for my team!

They can read too. It wasn't fine print....just most of us were used to how it was before.I've got 2 shows- on the 13th, and one the 14th. I also sort of have a show on the 12th (speaking engagement at my church's ladies group that I hope will yield enough sales to submit as a show). We'll see! I need to get on the ball and put out my $1000 mystery host show and give that a whirl. I'm also going to do something for Black Friday. December is still light though- 2 shows currently.

Wholy molly, I completly missed the Nov 1- 15 info on the SAT flyer. Just looked at it again, to see what you all were talking about.

Yikes! I need to get ahold of my team. I feel awful! :(
 
So far I have $2000.00 submitted and a show tonight, one Friday, Saturday, Tues, Thurs, and the following Tues this month. I also have 3 catalog shows and a fundraiser going on this month as well as my online preferred customer online show, which so far has 30 yesses. I think I will be ok to hit the 6k. :) AND... I got a HO lead sale of $390.00 yesterday. WHAHOOO!
 
Just a note...same applies for December too. December 1-15- hold & Submit 2 shows - earn product. ;)
 
I just wrapped up a large fundraiser this morning trying to finalize my submissions for my first 30 days ending on 11/11. I was able to get in 8 shows, and so far in November I have just under $1000 from the fundraiser. I have my fingers crossed that my other Nov show will bring in the other $500 for me!
