Can a host book off of herself and get more than one host special that month by placing two separate orders? I just did a show on Friday and my host wants to book for November also since she didn't get all the people she wanted to show up at this show for the next show. But she wants to know if she does that if she can get two of whatever the host specials are that month? I didn't think that sounded right, but wanted to check and make sure first.
 
bump.... i would like to know also...
 
Yes - I always offer that as a booking benefit for my hosts!

They can order one host bonus as the host, and another as the past host.

They just have to pay the shipping on the past host order.

Thank you so much for answering!! Yay! I will let her know!
 
ChefBecky - are you completely positive about that? I was told that you can't do that. Have you or anyone else had experience with doing this??

I do it all the time.

When you close the show, mark your host as booking another show. When she hosts her next show within the 6 month time period, she is then the host of that show - and the past host.

I know many consultants who do this. Often, hosts will have a catalog show, and book a Cooking Show further out....or have a Cooking show, and book a Catalog Show further out. It is really a great way to keep your hosts re-booking!
 
I do this routinely as well. I don't mention it to every host, and many don't actually use the booking. But it has generated multiple cooking shows (with new customers), several great consultants, and women who have become genuine friends.
