letscook04 said:How much were you off by? If is was around $15 or $20 dollars I would add something towards it..for it to count as a show. Just an idea
That can get expensive. I'd explain to the host how much more they will need to gather to get to $150 or, as suggest above, gather some orders on your own. If I'm the one getting the show to $150, I probably won't give the "original" host any host benefits.

Sometimes they really do try hard and just can't quite get to the minimum. I like to give the benefit of the doubt.

Do we have to print the computerized Pampered Partner receipts, or is a write-in receipt good enough in case someone needs to do a return? If I need to lump everyone under one order, they would still have their write-in receipts.

Actually you did better than your discount this time. You got your friend's 10% off plus at least 20% commission on that order. This practice is really "breaking the rules" but sometimes we just need to help a friend or get just a little more to the incentive. I know for a fact that even the highest level consultants do it on occasion.Swirl said:

! And, I was only $51 away from making my 15K in sales....needless to say, I picked up the extra charges for direct shipping and added a few things to the order - and turned it in an individual order to make sure I got to my 15K level
made it by $10.01! I figured the extra expense on my part would more than pay for itself with the 2% raise I would get in August
Got my name in the August CN too!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I still submit a show that didn't meet the $150 mark?
Yes, you can still submit a show that didn't meet the $150 mark. However, it will be considered a "non-qualifying" show, which means you won't earn host rewards or discounts.
What happens if my show doesn't reach the $150 minimum?
If your show doesn't reach the $150 minimum, you can still submit it, but you will not receive any host benefits. It's a good idea to encourage additional orders or invite more guests to help reach the minimum.
Are there any exceptions to the $150 minimum requirement?
Generally, the $150 minimum requirement is standard for all shows. However, special promotions or events may occasionally allow for exceptions, so it's best to check with your Pampered Chef consultant for any current offers.
Can I combine orders from multiple shows to meet the $150 mark?
No, you cannot combine orders from multiple shows to meet the $150 minimum. Each show must stand alone, and only the sales from that specific show will be counted towards the minimum requirement.
What should I do if my show is close to the $150 mark?
If your show is close to the $150 mark, consider reaching out to guests who haven't ordered yet, or encourage them to add items to their orders. You can also promote any last-minute sales or specials to help boost your total.
