I am at $2700 for the month and one more show next Saturday (11/22). I want to a couple more, so I will be on the phone the next few nights doing CCC calls. I should hit Level 3 ($3000). Wahoo!
 
I'm at 1300+ with two shows. I'm finding my average higher than ever. YAY! :) I've still got two catty shows out plus a cooking show next Friday. Working for $3000!
 
I'm at $1950 with 4 shows and 5 more to go. I was only hoping for $3000, but I would love to add more.
 
Wow...Yay for kicking Butt!
 
I'm at $3000 so far and I'm hoping to get to the $6000 level!! I love the free products, but what I really need are TRIP POINTS!!! Come on points! I need more shows!!
 
I'm at $1800 - with 1 show submitted, 4 others that have held, and are gathering outside orders to close, and 4 Cooking Shows, 2 Catalog Shows, a Vendor Fair, and a PTO Fundraiser still to be held & submitted.
I know I have the $3000 level, no problem - just have to wait and see if the $6000 level is within reach!
 
I'm at $2185 so far. Still have 2 shows and several catalog shows out there.
 
I've submitted 2 shows and am at a total of $1160.97. I did 2 more shows that still need to close, 2 more catalog shows, and have 5 more cooking shows still to do.ETA: Oh, I forgot...I have one more catalog show that just got confirmed today...so I've got 3 catty shows still...
 
Booya! Just hit $1500 with 2 cooking, one catalog show and a couple outlet orders! 3-4 more cooking and 1 catty show to go...3k is in sight!
 
Just submitted 3 shows with 1571.09 in sales. One to close that is at $555 and a catty that is at $400 right now. Have 5 more cooking shows to do. :angel:Pray for me...I only need 11,104 to earn Miami!! I also have 1 Fundraiser, 4 cooking shows and 1 catty for December!

WOW! My host from last night just e-mailed me some more orders, she's at $1000 now! My first $1000 show! Yippee!! (Guess it was worth the 2 hours in driving time, bringing a ton of items at her request, making 2 recipes (plus she served other snacks), her son being the highlight of the night and throwing up in the kitchen--thankfully NOT on my stuff!! and then coming home at midnight) But I'm so excited cause I'll definitely hit $3000! Now I wonder if I can do $6000?! We'll see! :)
 
I did it!
As of today's update I am over $6k!
 
Carolyn, that is great! Enjoy your free product.

I had my first show last night for this month and finished a catalog show that I'm turning in tomorrow. I'm at $1300 with supposedly 4 catalog shows left out there somewhere.
 
That's awesome Carolyn! With only half the month gone:thumbup: Do you still have more shows?
 
WTG Carolyn!!!!

I'm at $2064 and some change with the closed orders and the pending orders thus far. (2 cooking shows closed, 4 Catalog shows open a cooking show open & another cooking show next weekend.) I'm expecting to hit $3,000, hoping for $4,000 or $5,000 ... I really don't see hitting $6,000 but certainly wouldn't complain if I lucked into it!!! ;)
 
I'm at $1447 right now. I'm pretty close to $1500, and I'm positive I'll get there. It's the $3000 level that eludes me. I have four catalog shows going, and only one of them has any orders placed. We'll see. I need to call two of them, today.

At least I can buy the new items for 1/2 off. Always looking for the positive.
 
Last Friday (7th) I did my first Show for my new Recruit. She signed that morning and had never been to a Show! She only had her Mom, 3 kids, her hubby, and her 3 kids, but we did it anyway! She closed at $371.46 with some help from outside orders I collected from a couple of booths.:D Then I had my Cooking Show on the 10th go to a Catalog Show that was supposed to close the 14th; Host called Friday and needs to finish collecting her money so wants me to pick it up at 11 on Monday; hopefully it will close then.:confused: I did a great Cooking Show at one of the local Primary Schools on Tuesday evening! The guests had a great time...I gave away a DCB with the Dice Game (definitely not PLANNED!), and I closed her out tonight with $503.82!! WOOHOO!:cheerleader: I had one catalog show host call to say she just could not get a single order because they are cutting hours at the bank and everyone is afraid to spend a dime! I can fully understand that one. I thanked her and she said she would try again in February!:( I called 2 catalog show hosts who were hoping to close today but said they wanted to try a couple more weeks. I was glad to hear them say they would keep trying! I told them fine since I am shooting for $3,000! I have a Catalog Show to drop off catalogs at a local credit union on Monday. I met the lady at a booth in October. The cool thing is that I had sent her a couple of emails about a Pampered Business Show and she emailed me tonight to say that she wanted me to bring in catalogs on Monday and they already have $172 in SALES!!!:sing: I just hope the catalog isn't so old they found that the things are gone! She is talking about closing by Friday! I also have another lady to follow up with at our local Hobby Lobby that got a packet about 10 days ago and has not called me back. I have talked to the coworker who is my customer and she says the lady is collecting orders, so that is a good sign. I will also check with her on Monday. I am "making rounds" with several catalog hosts on Monday! I did a Stop N Shop last night and it was TERRIBLE! I had a few people ask me if they ordered online would it still count towards the 10% donation to the school. I told them if they got them in soon! I'm not leaving it open all month for them to mess around! 5 ladies told me they were going to order "later" then never came back. One lady was at the KITK tonight and asked if her order went towards the 10%. I told her if it came in this week! I did get one lady who came up to me at the very end and said she wanted to do a Cooking Show with me. I gave her a mini-catalog and told her I would call her Monday! She wants to schedule in December and I am fine with that! I did my Kids in the Kitchen Workshop tonight and told the parents that anyone placing an order by Tuesday would receive free shipping! Several sounded like they were interested in doing so! I have also had 3 online Outlet orders that total $143.52!!

My month so far through the Shows/Outlet orders is at $1,007.70! This is a personal high month for me and it's only the 15th!!! WOOHOO! God is blessing my socks off!

I sent out the Quickbites that Joy from Tasty Tidbits (thanks!:chef:) does to my current customers and already have an Outlet order from it so hopefully more will come in.

I am shooting for $3,000 and this will nearly double my career sales! My Recruit is very excited and we need to get her Shows scheduled so she can do well too! She has set her sights on Disney in 2010 along with me, so we are doing great! Now we need to RECRUIT!!:blushing:
 
Just submitted a couple shows from last week. I am at around $2300 in sales so far.

Submit 2 shows - check
Submit $1500 in sales - check
Submit $3000 in sales - hopefully by tomorrow (mystery host show is wrapping up)
Submit $6000 in sales - I SURE HOPE SO! That's my goal!

You Go Girl!!!

Just got a call from a friend and she wanted to know if it was okay if she did an online catalog show! Is it okay??? You bet!!! She's sending her show link out in emails to friends tonight and wants to close November 30th! WOOHOO!
 
WOW CAROLYN - Congrats! I am excited for you! :)
 
I had a limited show schedule to start with because of traveling twice this month for at least 5 days at a time - and I only do shows on Friday and Saturday nights because of hubby's work schedule - but now everyone is cancelling on me. One lady actually said to me - "Oh, I didn't realize that Thanksgiving was THIS month" Yes, that is what she said. So now I am left scrambling. I at least want to have the two shows turned in for the SAT. I do have three shows scheduled for December - but that isn't a big help for now.

Figured I would bump this. I'm currently at $2800 with three shows to close before tomorrow and two more shows holding this weekend. I also have 1 more catalog show going on. I know I'll hit $3000 for sure which is awesome because I made it for the first time in July but barely made it! This time I'll hit it for sure. Would love to hit $6000. Guess I'll never know!
 
Congrats to everyone :)
I am at ,after submitting a show today $4867.19. I have a show tomorrow, 2 more to close and 2 catty's. Don't think I will get to 6K, but a girl can dream :)

I've done 3 shows so far - still haven't submitted the 3rd. The first one was a fundraiser of $3500 - that gave me the big boost. I have three more shows and a Bridal Shower this month and am desperate for December bookings.

Congrats on the great fundraiser! :thumbup:
 
I submit over 2 shows and I am a bit over $1500 right now, I have a small show to turn in yet and I have one more to do tomorrow night, won't hit the 3k like last year, but that's ok...

Um, with 5 shows left, all you need to do is average about $350 and it's yours! Don't say you won't until you don't!
 
Okay, so as my signature says, I am 2,200 away from my goal! And, for December, I have 2 shows booked so far, so I will at least get the new spring product.

And, our Director has challenged our team to do 2-1-2 for November/December. That's 2 shows in November-1 recruit in November-2 shows in December. Looks like I'm gonna make it!!! :D
 
I am SO impressed with all of you!!!!!!!!!! WAY TO GO EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today I went over $3000 and I've got some things going yet this month but
I unless God has some real surprises waiting I don't know about the 6K but
who knows... we'll see!

That's what I'm here for! You cannot be that close and still not think that you can make it! I was hoping for $6000 but with a couple of my bombing shows, I don't think I'll make it but I'm not counting it out until the end of the month.
