Well, I finally made it!!! Surpassed the $7,000.00 Canadian goal to get everything FREE next Spring and still 2 more shows to go!!! CAn't wait for Spring!!! :-)
 
Congrats to those of you hitting level 3!!! :DLooks like I will pull off level 2 after all the lost shows this month. I am at $2,332.20 and still have a catalog show open, another cooking show, my Mystery Host show (with only 5 left playing!!!) and a booth this weekend which I'll add to the Mystery Host show to boost the benefits for the participants. I really don't think I'll hit level 3 with those, but a girl can hope, right? LOL

What? With that many shows still open, you can most certainly hit Level 3!!

Just taking averages:

Catalog Show - $250
Cooking Show - $500
Mystery Host - 5 people who turn in $100 = $500

That's $1250 in sales right there, and you need less than $700 to make it to level 3....you can do it!
 
I'm still in Level 1, but I have two shows this weekend and I'm at over $2000 right now, so I feel like I'll hit level 2!! I'm pretty pleased with that!
 
Great work Mountainmama. We must do coffee (or something) sometime. I'd love to meet with a nearby fellow cheffer. I would also LOVE some contact information for your director. I'm looking for a hospitality director.
 
Sheila - you are definitely reaching the $3,000 mark. You sell yourself short.

Keep going everybody!
 
I just signed & so far my calender has 3 catalog parties & 2 cooking shows on it. I'm so excited!!
 
Well..I didn't get even $1500 in sales this month..and I don't think that I will either..I don't have any more shows..I do have a booth tomorrow..but I don't think that I will get there with that because sales are usually pretty bad at this one..but it is for my church..so that is why I continue to participate..maybe this will be my big year..LOL..anyway..I was hoping that I would have a great show last night..but I didn't..her sales are going to end about half of what I needed it to..I needed them to be $800..but I think we are only going to close it at around $400..but that is ok

not to hijack..but..that show even though sales were low..I am trying to pick up my business to pay for a cruise that I am going on in June..and i had 4 bookings..and 1 recruit lead..so I am very happy about that.
 
I don't think I'll be getting anything either. Just closed another show at $275 she didn't even want to get another $25 to jump her to the next level. My mystery show is stuck at 5 people and it's suppose to close on Monday.
 
I'm very excited! This may be my best month ever and I still have two shows to close and a little holiday booth on Monday. My current sales for the month are $6005!!! :eek: Now if I can just figure out how to get the December incentive. I'm going to be gone Dec. 2-12.

Yippee Jeanine! Glad to hear your month is going so well too!

Don't you find it amazing, and a bit curious, how we can be doing so well in Michigan? We have the highest unemployment in the nation, and we have been in recession way longer than the rest of the country, and yet, sales and bookings for me are the best they've ever been!

Yes, it really is shocking. I think I've had more $1000 shows this year than in previous years. I suppose I'm a bit better at my job but I think it's more about people staying home and eating!
 
Just submitted my largest show ever two days ago, $1,224. That puts me at $2,553 for the month at this moment. I had a vendor fair last night that is shaping up to be very small, but I have a cooking show tomorrow evening with the potential to do very well, so I'm hoping to cross the $3,000 mark for the month to get the second level. :)
 
just about to close my first ever $1000 show... that brings me over the 1500 mark... yeah!! I did not think it would happen for me!
 
right now I have hit the $1500 mark. Have one show tomorrow, but attendance is not looking so great, but I am happy with where I am. :)
 
I've hit $1,500. I think I'll get to $3,000 before the end of the month. I have three shows to close, and I can always divide my Black Friday orders and put some on a November catalog show if I need a boost.
 
Woohooo!! I'm so excited. I had a show today with 20 people in attendance. I have a few shows to close but when I calculated it earlier, my sales are at 3650 for this month!

I could do this too...Assuming I get Black Friday orders! I'm thinking about using Phonevite to remind all my contacts about this amazing sale!

I'm sitting at about 2600 right now. I have a show tomorrow, so we'll see!
 
I hit the $6000 mark as of yesterday! Yippeee!! Now I have a small break for Thanksgiving and then I need to do at least $2400 next month and Disney Level 2 is in the bag!!
 
I'm right around $2700 right now! All my shows are closed but I have a couple orders ($40) and I just sent out my Black Friday Sale. I already have a few people who are really interested. I will also be seeing DH's aunt who wants to order some Christmas presents tomorrow. I know I'll hit $300!
 
Oh, I guess I'm calling the levels wrong. I look at the 1-15th as a bonus, not a level. I knew I'd make $3,000 ... it was $6,000 that I was saying I probably wouldn't make. I'm currently at $3977.26, so I made the "bigger" selection of products. But I won't make the "biggest" level. I have one booth left this month, but I've agreed to let my 3 recruits take shifts & work it for the sales/bookings. So I'm not expecting to get anything out of it.December is my panic month. I only have ONE show on the calendar! Jan I have 2 set dates & another one that wants to host a show but hasn't picked a date. I have 3 set dates in Feb & one in March. I'm going to have to fight to just make my $750 in sales to stay active (as a Team Leader) ... praying that I'll hit $1,250 in sales to keep me in the comfort zone of HO leads. That extra $485.35 in HO lead outside orders this month felt GOOD!!! ;)
 
$5,300 submitted so far, a $600 show submitted but on hold so not in that count, and a $650 show to hopefully close tonight. Should end up around $6,500 for the month. Nice paycheck! I may not be so frugal with Christmas this year. Crate & Barrel already got some of my commission ;)

I'm holding off on submitting my son's nursery school fundraiser until Dec. 1, making it a Dec. show so I can get the 5% PC bucks on it. I thought I was going to need it for Nov. SAT. Good thing I didn't b/c the sales are not what they have been in the past.
 
GO Becca!!!! :D
 
Becca, make sure that fundraiser is DATED Dec. 1!
 
Yup, Di, I'm all over it ;)

Credit card on hold just cleared. I'm just so thankful not to be sweating out all of the incentives until the last day of the month/year. Been there, done that!
 
I am $121.89 away from hitting $3,000.00 mark. I have never hit the $3,000.00 level before at Sell-A-Thons. So excited!!!!!!!
 
I am sitting at $5787 right now - I did a black Friday show and got $380. I'm debating if I should turn it in as a Dec. show because I only have 2 shows in Dec. and am not sure I will make it to $1500 or turn it in in Nove. and get over $6000. What would you do?
 
I'm at 1997. I'm sitting on a fundraiser & party (that I just did today) that I'm hoping will put me over 6,000. My party is already at 1100 with more outside orders to collect. The fundraiser is at 1200 with only 4 of 25 girls turning in orders so far. Sadly, it will all be done on the 30th. I don't like doing that to HO!

I'd probably turn it in for November and get the highest level of product for free...then work on building a December calendar to get at least one more show (cooking OR catalog) that could make up for it in December. JMHO, but free stuff is hard to turn down! :)
 
Got the two shows before the 15th and hit the $3000 level thanks to my $1623 show. Wahoo, can not wait to see the new products!
