Can't Believe I Did This! Check Your Sales!

I am only $6.70 away from $500 for August - and didn't realize it.

I had 2 shows to submit in August. One catty and one cooking.

Sometimes when I am "thinking" about shows I am thinking about the level they got to (not the commissionable sales).

So my catty show was $200. So that's what stuck in my head. Then my cooking show was a little above $200. So in my mind I was easily $50-100 away from $500 (and 200 points). So I wasn't going to worry about it.

In my mind I had 2 $200 shows.
Well, I checked IPT and I those shows were higher since the host ordered items that added to the commissionable! And I am SO close to the $500. I am ticked at myself for not paying attention since I could have just tacked a small item onto the last show!!!

So now I am going to have to troll for a sale! So, lesson learned. I need to pay attention more! Ugh!

have a friend order something from your web site.. that will "tip" you over the $500 mark.

I usually don't have luck with this - but I am going to offer 10% off if they place an order with me before August 30.

Send out an outlet e-mail, you're bound to get SOMETHING!

Look for my threads on it this month...

Oh darn...I was so excited for a minute there. I have $573.52 for August. But then I realized that $157.62 of that is actually from a July show. That same July show also made it so that I didn't get the pumpkin dish. She kept stalling to close because family was on vacation. Then no one ended up ordering anyway. Oh well. Well, I have one show this Friday and I'm really trying to get her to close it that weekend. So we'll see.

If you don't get an order there must be someone that you'll get a gift for this fall. A teacher gift, something for your friend, sister, mom, daughter...

Order something in their name to get you that $6.70 you need - you'll be buying them a gift anyway so why not make the purchase when it helps you too!

Hi there! Don't be too hard on yourself, we all make mistakes sometimes. The important thing is that you caught it now and can still reach your goal of $500 for August. It's always a good idea to double-check your sales and make sure you're not missing out on any potential commissions. And hey, now you have the opportunity to reach out to some potential customers and see if they'd be interested in placing an order to help you reach your goal. Good luck and keep up the great work!
