Need an idea to boost your March sales? Here you go! Spend $1 on your Consultant Gift (FREE Season's Best Recipe Collection) and make at least a $30 profit from the $150 Catalog Show! (if you've achieved $15,000 in Career Sales, promoted to SC or above and/or hit new commission levels with your March Sales then you could make more than $30 off one of these deals.)

PLUS 15% off anything else they want!

Remember, Past Hosts who get 10% OFF will have to boost their sales to $149 to qualify. But remind them that their 1-year Past Host Benefit starts over with this show.
 
Sheila you are AWESOME! Is it OK to share on facebook?

Yes. You can market to your friends who already know you are a consultant, you just can't go post it on a FB forum full of people you don't know in an attempt to find new customers. ;)
 
Great - Thanks Sheila! I really enjoy your wealth of information and your positive outlook.
 
Thank you, Sheila!

Sorry, I didn't make it 8.5 X 11, I made it to fit on a FB page. It wouldn't print right for you and the black background would use a LOT of ink. :(

You're welcome! :D
 
Such a great idea! and thank you for the image!
 
sorry, found it
 
Okay so I loved this idea and posted it to my FB page. The only response I have gotten so far is from a guy that I was friends with in high school (that I had blocked from seeing on my fb page becuase of his rude posts a long time ago). He posted this link with the comment "just sayin'"

Calphalon 11-in. Square Nonstick Contemporary Nonstick Grill Pan.

I am terrible with words most of the time. Any ideas of how I should respond, or if I should at all? I want to comment to him, but it's on my fb page where others will see it so I don't want to be snotty. I know some of you are great with stuff like that. Or I could just ignore it and let others form their own opinions...

Any ideas?
