Who May Find This Useful

This discussion may be of interest to Pampered Chef consultants looking for motivation and shared experiences related to achieving sales goals during the Sellathon event.

I rescheduled my party for today to the 28th. She knows that I have to close by the 30th and is one of my best friends. I have no doubt that she'll do good by me. I'm closing out my party for last Saturday today. Fundraiser is going well & I had a friend call yesterday wanting to do a catalog party to close out the 30th as well. HO is going to hate me b/c of that but I really don't have another choice! :D
 
I was able to close a second show last night..and I will be submitting it today..so I will get the product for submitting 2 shows between the 1st and the 15th.

My sales however total are only at around $550 and I only have 1 more show this month. So I don't think that I will reach the $1500..but I am still going to try.
 
Phew! Just submitted my second show. I was getting nervous since there was an issue w/ a guest's payment. But it's all straightened out now and I submitted the show. So I have my 2 shows in and I'm at $2,079! I had a show just cancel for next Friday. All I have left is one catalog show. I'm hoping to have that work out, but I'm not holding my breath. Catalog shows are never that high for me. I think I'm going to do a Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale, so maybe I can scrounge up some orders. But if it's not enough, I'll hold it over for a December show.
 
I've submitted my second show and with that I'm under $4000.00......BUT... I've got 2 shows open that are going to get me within $100.00 of the $6000.00 level. :D I'm so excited!! They pulled in more outside orders than they expected, so I'm really excited about what I'll be getting in the spring. Now I've got to just make sure my last show stick, or else I'm going to place an order myself on my outlet or something, lol.

This is only the 2nd time my time of selling PC :eek: that I've earned the directors pack of things and I'm only $100.00 away, so unless something God forbid should happen, I'll be getting it!!

Wait until my hubby hears the news!!! Only "bad" thing, is I won't make as much $ as I promised donations to chararites if shows made levels, and they did!! So Awesome all around, as I get spring products, hostesses get things and local charities get some help too!!

Ok, I need to go take a chill pill, lol. Hubby is not home, he's with the 3 girls being a great dad :angel: and doing a girl scout/brownie activity that they are earning a badge at, but he had to take them so I could meet and get these orders for these shows. I was so Thankful I had to close these shows today, as Discovery Center, where he had to take them is so LOUD on a normal day, let alone a special day of activities. I'm so blessed with an awesome hubby and my girls are blessed with an awesome daddy.

Lisa... please share how you have two shows submitted and $4000 in sales... That's awesome!
 
Krista,
Well here's what I did for first show.......
It started as a show for previous AWESOME hostess and sorta went into a fundraiser, but not a fundraiser. I said I would donate % of sales to hostesses charity of choice is she got sales to a certain level and she passed that, so I'll be making a donation to local charity.
That show was just over $3000.00 in sales, woo hoo.
We only had a few at the actual show, but everyone helped her get more orders, once they heard what I was going to donate, so it was great.

For the other show, she's another repeat hostess and her show sales ended up being $801.50, which was actually low for her, she apologized for not getting to the $1000 mark.

I've currently got another show at just over $700.00 from my girl scout troop grandma and she's getting more outside orders to try and double that #. I've got another show I just got outside orders for of just over $1100.00 with at least 1 more order to come in, that show was sitting at $949.00 and then another lady called me with Outside order to bring it up to the $1100.00 mark.

I really think it's helping that I've said I would donate a % of sales to local charity, as most people know local charities need help.

I've also already got an order from a neighbor for my bf's show at end of the month of $240.00. So I'm just excited. I've sold more in Nov. than I have April-Oct., so that's an awesome feeling. Now to keep the momentum rolling!!

I had 4 shows last week right before my surgery. Then I got a HO lead order for, GET THIS!!! $730!!!!! WOO! HOO!!! I still have 5 more shows, and at least 3 catty shows too! Hoping for the $6000 level but we will see! Gonna be fairly close!!! I'm still recooping from my surgery too!
 
I just turned in my 2nd show which was 930. With that show I'll get the two shows and 1770 in sales. I've got a FR and two more shows to turn in yet!!
 
Then I got a HO lead order for, GET THIS!!! $730!!!!! WOO! HOO!!!

:eek: All I can say, is WOW!!! :eek:

And Congratulations!!

Hope surgery went well.

After I submit everything I plan to submit by the 15th, I will be just under $4000.00. I have 4 more cooking shows, 5 catty shows and a fr to close out before the 30th. I feel very much at ease that I will be getting 2 sets of everything again this Spring. I love that! My consultants do too.. they get the extras as incentives. :)
 
I'm at $4747.92 with three shows submitted, two nearly wrapped up and one more next week. I would love to reach $6000.

It seems to be ok so far. Went in for a hernia caused from my gallbladder surgery 2 yrs ago. When dr opened me up to repair hernia he found out the actual source of my problem was not the tiny hernia, but a large abcess that was caused from a nonbiodegradable stitch the previous surgeon left in! I am quite upset @ previous dr!!!
 
Sharon,
I'm sorry to hear that, that sounds very painful. I hope the other doctor is going to be taken to task for that!! Wow, so for 2 years you've been having problems and that's why. Makes you wonder how these doctors would feel if it was them who went through things like that.

Hugs,
Lisa
 
WOO HOO!! I did it, already this month I've sold $6037.18 I'm so excited!!!

My director is going to FLIP when she hears this!!

Lisa
 
Go Lisa!!!
 
I've done 5 shows this month (3 submitted b4 the 15th YAY ME!), and I'm ONLY at $1,315, with no more shows on my calendar. Hadn't even been thinking about the $ amount for more products... duh!!! I'm reading about the mystery host idea, but don't know the details, and the $1,000. I'd REALLY love to get some more sales this month to earn the products. Any earth shattering news that may help me?
 
I'd say either the $1k mystery host (I know there is some info floating around here) or a Black Friday sale. You don't necessarily have to have a "sale" but if you put it out there for your past hosts/guests, you might generate some sales. Or even host a Black Friday party at your place if you're willing to do that, as an open house.
 
what happens if we do a show in November, but submit it in December? Which month would it count towards?
 
Congrats Lisa! Happy Dance for you.....that's amazing!!! :D
 
Bobbi....it would not count towards your November SAT, and it would not count towards the Dec incentive either. It would simply make you active for the month of Dec...the host would still be eligible for the Nov Host Special....and you'd make commission and get paid in Dec....but it would not count towards either SAT.
 
I had my first show for the month last night. It was a $300 show and my host has no intentions of getting any outside orders. Kinda bummed I was hoping for at least the $500 mark. I have one more show this month and my mystery catalog show going on.
 
Well so far I have just over $2000 in sales (need to close out two shows from this weekend as I don't have the host orders yet) - Still have 3 more cooking shows, 1 catalog show, and 1 vendor event for the month - hoping to achieve $3000 level for SAT.
 
Wow, I didn't realize how close I was to the $3000 level. I have only hit that once during a SAT month. Right now if I submitted my two open shows as is I'm at $2616.05. One just needs the hosts order and the other possibly has a couple more orders to add. I lost two shows this month which sort of bums me out because I would have easily hit $3000. I know that some of DH's family would order something at Thanksgiving but I think that I will do a Black Friday sale just to see what happens. I would hate to be so close and not try to make it!Either that or I need some random $300 HO lead! Prayers!
 
This will be the first time I've ever earned anything for the SAT. Right now I'm at $1468 for the month with 3 shows left for this month (and perhaps 2 catalog shows as well). I'm definitely planning on earning the $2500 level, which is AMAZING for me since my best month ever was last month when my sales were $1428. I couldn't be happier! :)

That's fantastic Nicole! Congratulations on a personal best!



but, just so you aren't disappointed - there isn't a $2500 level. ;)

2 Shows by the 15th - Level 1
$1500 in sales - Level 2
$3000 in sales - Level 3
$6000 in sales - Level 4
 
1 catalog show closed, and 2 parties at the $2100 mark.. have one show to close tomorrow night (it's at $500+) and doing a show Sat, of which the hostess invited over 50!!!!
 
D'oh! I knew that! :o I meant the $3000 level! Ugh! I think I'm thinking back to when the levels were $1250, $2500, and $5000 (at least, that's how I *think* they used to be MANY MANY moons ago). Thanks for the congrats! I'm pretty darn happy! :p
 
Today i'm closing out my mother-in-laws show...and I will have reached level 2 :) woot woot!!!!
 
With 3 shows I'm now at $3253.74. That means I'm $247 from level 3 here. I have one more catalogue show and my 1K mystery host but I've only had one response to the mystery host. Time to get on the phone. I'd hate to miss out after having one $700, one $800 and one $1700 show!!
 
Well I didn't think I would get anything, but I'll reach $1,500 with only 2 shows:)!
