Yes, as long as it's $150 in sales to qualify as a show, there's no rule as to how many orders or how many "guests" you have to have to make the show. I've had customers call to do a big order & I put them in as their own show with the first $150 as guest sales & the rest as the host order which gives them 15% off the rest of the items that they wanted. Plus they get the guest special and can choose the host special too. They LOVE the savings, especially when they just paid less than they were planning to spend and ended up with MORE! This is the same concept. If they are spending $150 or more (or you are adding the $1 cookbook to boost them to that level) then they qualified as a show & can get more off their wish list at a discount.And remember, if they are a "past host" on an Aug show, they can get the grill pan set for $73.20 (+tax & shipping)! I have someone who just did a July show & booked 2 Aug shows off her show. She's planning to do the Grill Pan set as the "past host" on both of the shows that are about to close. One for her & one for her Mom's Christmas present. 
***And*** since she's spending more than $60 on each order, she'll qualify for the guest special on each of those orders too.

so I stayed up til almost 3 last night sending e-mails to all my contacts in my address book, checking for e-mails I've missed from past shows and getting a number of mailings ready for snail-mail. I had to have sent over 200 e-mails. I had one nibble and then they changed their mind....a friend. She knows it sounds good, but needs the $ for an upcoming trip for her and her daughter. Maybe tomorrow... How is everyone else doing?

Some folks have added 3 rubs for free when you buy the grill pan set, as an extra perk. Adding a Season's Best makes it the minimum $150 show....then some have decided to add in the 3 rubs too. They are added to the host order, so you get the 15% discount. Before receiving commission, it would be about $12.50 out of pocket/after discount. You'd make at least $30 commission....so you still turn a profit, and get the show

When you add a SBRC to the customer's order (out of your pocket), the order total becomes $150, which qualifies it to be a show. Because the order is more than $60, the customer qualifies for the Guest Special, which is the free knife. If you were to submit the show as a cooking show, there would be $15 in FPV, which would cover the three rubs, but that wouldn't be the right thing to do, as it really isn't a cooking show. You could still offer the three rubs out of your pocket, and place them on the host's order, giving you a 15% discount plus commission back. Since it is being submitted as a show, the host also qualifies to choose one of the Host Special items for the month of August.hisecho said:
