Can I Avoid HO Issues When My Husband Hosts a Show?

[SillyChef]

I was unsure where I should post this thread considering it really isn't Host coaching. Or is it? I wanted to know how I can have my husband a host of a show and not have any trouble from HO. I did this last month, and my show was put on hold. They had to take off like 2 dollars of commission or something, but I don't want to have to worry about calling HO and explaining myself everytime my husband hosts a show. Which is BTW almost every month considering he takes a catalog to work and has people order. I just wanted to know if anyone has done this or something so that I may be able to put it into my website with no worries. Thanks!!!

I don't know why HO would put your show on hold or take some of your commission. Under the host address do you put C/O your name and then put your address or do you just put in your address? That might make a difference. My daughter is one of my regular hosts and it has never been an issue.

But you cannot make a commission off of any family member in your household's order. That would be the reason they are holding it.Just a thought for you, if you have some of the same people always making orders, maybe pick one of them to get the host benefits every month like a mystery host show, that way you will have even a more loyal customer base and they may even order more. I have people from my place of work that always make orders and so I just let them all have a turn. One lady ordered the SS bowls during the year for all of her children, and some other things, and she got the roaster for her host special.

Hey Jennifer, That is a really good idea! I am going to do that with this next catalog show that my husband is having. I will drawl a name from one of the people who bought from me this past month and then let them be the host. That is awesome. Maybe it will get them to spread the word a little too, to their families?!? Thanks for the idea.

Valky: I guess what happened is when I put in my husbands name and address as a host, they seen that it was the same as mine and I didn't put the C/O. I asked what that was all about and she said that you can't make commission off of the family in your household. Now if I kicked my husband out and had him do a show from .... Lets say his mom and dads... then that would be another story. HaHa.

I haven't had my mother host a show for me yet...but she has kind of a tough zip code to ship to and an ever worse area code for them to call. Hmmmm...

On a previous post somewhere... another consultant said she always puts her catalog show in a different family members name so that they get the yearly 10% discount. Whenever they order and get their discount they think she's giving them a great deal!
