Yes, you can have amid-month paycheck!You all, don't give up! There are Spring Flings and festivals starting everywhere. Ask to set up at a bank. I have two girls in my downline doing that this week. What about talking to the local coffee shop? I had a Starbucks person mention it to me, but when I called back they said one of the workers sold PC and she was doing it.
Have an open house. Even if you own none of the new products - we have 47 new items that rock and the catalog shows them perfectly!!!
You can do this! The trifle bowl is amazing and even the color coated knoves are a hit! I have a catalog show that is just under $700...and they aren't even trying!
Just market yourself and have some fun!! The catalog is beautiful and really sells the products! Let everyone know how great the March host bonuses are and how if they have a show now they can really rake it in with future bookings! Get excited!
I would love to see who is going to just up and open their doors by Thursday.
Have a come as you are party and invite any and everyone. Tell them bring a friend get a gift. When you call be enthusiastic and sell that this will be a fun party. Most importantly keep it simple. Call to invite them. Then call and remind them.

The are always looking to give back to the community. I was going to do a fundraiser show for the charity of their choice on a Saturday morning. That is until the coworker said she sold PC.
Still, there are 1,000's of Starbucks...with the 25% Help Whip Cancer fundraiser I bet all of us could get at least one going.
