Can someone help me in answering this consultant's question

"
Quick question...Does the $1250 that I need to make...is the commissionable sales or just over all sales...

Like my last party's show total was $ 521.15 but only $362.12 in commissionable sales...which number is the one that counts towards the $1250...???

And when they say the average show is $500...which number are they talking about...commissionable sales...or show totals...???"
 
I believe it's total sales. I just qualified with sales of 1275 and I only had 3 shows so it's total sales.
 
Commissionable sales. Pretty much everything (promotions, incentives, minimums) are commissionable sales. The only time you pay attention to "guest sales" or total sales is that's what you base the host rewards on.

But those were probably the commissionable sales from your shows....not the total show sales. Hope that makes sense.:)
 
Like Becky said, for all consultant promos and our commission, it's commissionable sales.
 
Show sales includes tax and shipping as well as anything the host gets at a discount (some of that we are not earning commission on). Everything I have ever seen was based on commissionable sales. Like what was said above, GUEST sales are what the host program is based on.For example:A show I had on February 2nd had $702.97 in commissionable sales, $819.47 in guest sales (past host special does this) and $996.41 for a Show Total.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are commissionable sales in Pampered Chef?

Commissionable sales refer to the total sales amount that a consultant generates that qualifies for earning commissions. In Pampered Chef, this includes the sales from products sold to customers, excluding taxes and shipping fees.

How does the $1250 threshold affect my commission?

When a consultant achieves $1250 in commissionable sales within a month, they typically qualify for a higher commission rate on those sales. This can significantly increase the overall earnings for that month.

Are all sales counted towards the $1250 commissionable sales total?

Not all sales are counted. Only sales that are considered commissionable, such as customer orders, are included. Sales from host rewards or discounts may not contribute to the $1250 total.

What happens if I don't reach $1250 in sales?

If you do not reach the $1250 threshold, you will still earn commissions on the sales you do make, but at a lower rate. It’s beneficial to aim for this target to maximize your earnings.

Can I combine sales from multiple months to reach the $1250 goal?

No, the $1250 commissionable sales goal must be met within a single month. Sales from previous or future months do not count towards this monthly target.
