Can I Enter a July Show as an August 1st Show for the Pampered Chef?

[teachernikol]

Okay, so if you have a show booked for the last day of July but there is no way you will close it out on that day and they like the August host special better anyway, is it okay to enter it as an August 1st show? Has anyone done this?

 

[Nanisu]

absolutely, as long as the customers don't care about the July specials. I have done this many times and just told the customers it was a ______ (next month) show because it's too late to turn it in. Just make sure her outside order forms are for August.

Yes, in fact my Director recommends it! What a great way to GO GREEN at the beginning of every month!

That's what I'm doing with my July 31 show.Only downside is that when I set it up on my web site, I had to put the date as Aug. 1 because anyone who orders from the web site would not get the August guest special otherwise. So they cannot send e-vites from the web b/c it will have the wrong information.

The other down side is that it's not the truth. The date of a cooking show is the date of the show. Catalog shows have some wiggle room. I know that people do this all the time, but according to PC rules and regulations, the date of the show should not be changed.

Well ... the way I see it, in just 10 hours it will be Aug. 1. I'm going to joke with my customers that "It's August 1st SOMEWHERE."

I understand. Everyone makes their own choices. I just wanted to make sure that teachernikol understood that she was breaking the rules by doing this so that she could make an informed choice.

Somewhere being here in Japan! I'm 13 hours ahead of EST, 14 hours ahead of CST. Which is a plus when I am trying to close shows in time for a certain pay day or sales incentive. I tell the host I have to close by the last day of the month or the 15th and if they push me super close to midnight is no big deal here, I still have another 14 hours to go deposit any checks & submit the show!
