Congrats to all! Looks like everyone is doing SUPER well! Whoo Hoo!! I am happy to report that this is my best month EVER. I am at $6260.83....but $886.22 is from October, so for the SAT, I am at $5374.61! Close to the $6000, but still ecstatic with the month. I can't believe that I actually did it! :D Now, if this can become a trend....whoo whoo! LOL

Thanks Chica! You are still my partner, and we're walking together! ;) :D


Can I just say.....WHOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOO for YOU!!!??!! I am still making my goal to be like you....I want 4 shows, and $3000 sales results! :love: You ROCK!!! And a big ol CHEER from TX for your 15K!!!! :thumbup::thumbup: I love that we are able to place checks by some of our goals...it feels nice, huh? I'm joining you on the dance floor!

We need to set a time when we can chat and see how we're doing on those goals.....I am so excited and proud of you!
 
Just sent in my last show and I got $3225.32! I wanted to hit the $6,000, but am very happy with this.
 
She not on here but I have to tell you about my newest recruit. She's been great since she started in October. I kept emailing her and my other team memebers (who don't do anything... another story) about the SAT. Well yesterday I realized that she was only $400 away from the $1500 level. When I contacted her she said she had one more show to submit. I kept encouraging her all day to see what she could do. She texted me at 10:30 last night to say that she thought she got it! Now we just have to wait until it shows up on CC to know for sure. So happy for her.
 
got 1 show ready to go in for December! It's only $170 but it was a individual order I was able to turn into a show so I'm happy!

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!:)

Really? Because my big month is always November. It used to be that SAT was only in December and I was SO GLAD when they switched it to Nov.

In December, most of us have a more limited time to do shows, and also, the calendar is shorter...I have 7 shows and 2 catalog shows in December, but they are all done by the 15th.

That feels as good as making a SAT goal yourself, doesn't it?

I had 3 team members make the 2 shows by the 15th level, and I was so excited for them! One is someone who isn't real active, and has never earned any of the incentives...so I'm especially excited for her!

Mine was about the same! I had over $6000 in sales, but $1500 was from October. I had 4 shows in November that STILL haven't closed. Grrrrr....with those 4 shows, I would have had the $6000.

Oh well, the way my Dec. is shaping up, I'll have enough PC $$ to buy whatever I didn't earn! :D

Still waiting to see if one of my new recruits from November qualifies this month, so that I get that Spring product too. Both of them are holding and submitting shows...just don't know if the totals are there.

Of course! This was her first time for a SAT and I didn't want her to miss out! When I noticed she was real close I didn't want her to not make it by a few $!
 
I wrapped up my Mystery Host show and closed it with over $2700 in commissionable sales. So, my month ended at approx $4700!!! My highest month EVER!!! And, the $3000 level........woo-hoo, I'm so excited!!!
 
UPDATE ALREADY!!! (my not so silent plea to CC)
 
All I have to say is THANK GOODNESS this year we are able to resolve declined cards online. Last year, I was on hold for SIX HOURS on the last day of the month b/c of my mystery host show. It takes a lot of work getting that thing closed out. This year ~ no hold time!!!!
 
I'm on the line with PC right now and I was able to get right through. Remarkable! I was expecting to hold for a long time, too or get a call back this evening or something. They are getting better and better at the HO.

that is remarkable!!! AWESOME!!!
 
whew just made it, I was freaking last night trying to contact a host that was supposed to close on Friday. But I made my goal with little room to spare, being new and hitting the 3000 was a challenge but glad I made it. I also learned I need to get much better at host coaching, that is my educational self goal for this next 6 weeks.

Except that it's NOT WORKING!!!! I have one I need to resolve--I had to call this morning, and she reran the card for me, which still didn't work. Getting ahold of the host has been a PITA. I'm pretty sure I'm just going to put it on my CC (it's only $19) and then deal with it whenever the host gets around to it. (nothing seems to motivate her--ready to kiss her good-bye!) I MUST have this show resolved to make my Sell-a-thon level 2!!!!!!
 
I closed out at $7400.00. I will be happy with 2 sets of the new products. WHAHOO! I had 6 of my team members earn level 1 and 2 earn level 2. I am so excited for them!
I have 6 cooking shows, 2 catty shows and a fundraiser this month, all before the 15th, so hopefully I will rack up the PC$ too. WTG everyone!!

Oh no!! I actually had that problem too, the one person I had an issue with a card, I tried 2 times and it didn't work online. But, she said the account was closed for 2 days, and thought that was the problem, I didn't think it was a problem on our end. Luckily, I got cash from her and was able to close it out online. I hope you get yours resolved today!
 
$6004.00 for me! Yeah! I don't even know how much you earn at this level for free products - in the spring I didn't earn any!

Get this.............after fretting and stewing about this ALL DAY I checked shipment status again (and hoping the resolve declined cards link was working) and it said RELEASED FOR PICKING! WTH?!?!? I hadn't done a thing, since the host from he** still hadn't called, texted or e-mailed me back about the declined card!!!!!! This morning--notification that it's shipped. Still waiting for it to show up on my Nov stats.

Things that make you go "HUH?"

So weird.........I wonder if they re-ran the card?? Or, maybe the host had purchased something else and there was a hold on the card that released??? I dunno, but I hope everything works out for you for the sell-a-thon numbers!!
