I think I've mostly given up, but curious if anyone has any ideas on how to get a $500 show going in a day. I actually have a host who's supposed to give me a show tomorrow. It wil be my last day of my 90 day period- and I'll probably be $500 away from $5000- and 1 show away from 12- which means I'll miss out on the $100 PC bonus for hitting $5k in 90 days, the $50 PC bonus for another $1250, and $50 PC bonus for another 4 shows. My girl is hoping to submit a $300 show tomorrow- but if I could make it an $800 show... we already did the show- so we're on outside orders now. Ah- I don't know if I have the energy to beg for orders though.

Any ideas?

Or would PC extend my 90 days so my shows next week would count? Fat chance, heh?
 
The best way is to get on the phone.

PC will not extend your 90 days.

I was just thinking- I wonder if I call my host for tomorrow and give her a $50PC bucks bonus if she can get me an $800 order- then I'd split it up- but that would give me a total of $200 in PC bucks and I'd give her $50 to help make up for the splitting- plus anything that she wasn't bonusing on by making it 2 instead of 1- hmmm....
 
I'd say bribe bribe bribe your host. And offer discounts to customers (even if you're losing 10% or so in your commision, you will make it up with the PC $) Good luck!
 
Tell her that if she gets $800 in orders for you that she will be getting $150 in free products from PC plus you will give her xxx. If you give her an additional $50 of product that will actually only cost you $35 out of your pocket and make you like $7 in commission, so it won't be that bad of a deal. If she is a carrot chaser it may work... good luck!

I have 2 hosts working on this for me- the one I have to submit tomorrow I"m trying to get her to do an $800 show- I offered an additional $50 in free product if she could do it.

I have a host who has a show next week and I'm bribing her for outside orders- if she can get me $500 in outside orders by tomorrow- I'll give it to her.

I'm banking on only 1 doing it- but if by some crazy chance they both did it- I would give out $50 to both. Either way, If I can reach the goal- I'll get $200 in additional PC dollars, so I could part with half.
