Yes if you get level 2 you also get level 1 and so on,
Then when the sample packs come out you can get what you don't have. Some times they even have them as individual items not as a whole alot together.

Another thought you can do is plan a show for yourself in Sept as a Show off the New fall products ( open house ect ) and YOU AS THE HOST can get the free products , thats a way so you don't have to spend the money .

Any ideas what the $125 in free fall products are? Who has ideas about what the two knives will be?

I'm thinking that the knives could be a variation of the cheaper color coated forged knives.... I'm hoping not though:D

The $125, in my guess, would be the basic stuff that gets redesigned & some new products.

I'm actually really hoping that the mini santoku knife evolves into a Forged Cutlery knife! I love the size of that knife, and find myself using it everyday! I had to buy a 2nd one, because I use it so much!
The large Santoku knife is just too much knife for me for most projects. I have smaller hands, and it's just too big for me to control.

I would like a mini santoku as well...but just not color coated:rolleyes:

That's why I'm hoping it grows up to be a mini FORGED CUTLERY knife!:D

I am going to ASSUME that the 2 new knives are additions to the Forged Cutlery line - since right now it's the only line on sale in August - why would they muddy that up by adding cheap knives as part of the host bonus choices? (oh please, oh please, oh please let me be right!)
 
Although, usually when there's a "submit 2" promo, the value of the freebie is $40 or less. So the average price of the 2 sharp products is probably $20 each. That points to the color-coated. (This is just speculation.)

Last year (although that was the cluster challenge - STILL a sore spot for me - LET it go Becky!) the "submit 2 shows in June" promo was the Santoku Knife......I guess that is why I was hoping for more forged cutlery this year - PC trying to redeem last years FIASCO!
 
That's true! I forgot about that one, because my cluster was so far from reaching it there was no point....
 
In LESS THAN 2 WEEKS (!) we will know for sure!

I am getting more excited every day!
 
Right now, I need $552 to have $3000 in sales for the month. I'm closing two shows out this weekend, and I'm also doing a phone/email sell a thon on Friday.

I'm going to hold the sell a thon orders to count towards July, if the other two shows pull me thru.

Hoping, hoping, hoping...

I should get to the $3000 at any rate, though.

But then they have to be dated as July shows to count for the July sell a thon.

Oh yeah... I meant to say that I'm hoping to hold my email-phone sale orders for July. I'm thinking my final two June shows will pull me through to $3000, then I can submit my phone/email sale orders as my first July show.

Of course, I'm being optimistic that I will actually get enough in sales from my phone sale to actually make a show out of it...

This is true most of the time, but look at July's submit 2 show incentive. I think, now I could be wrong here (though that doesn't happen much! LOL!:D ), that a peice of cookware will mean the executive and there is only one peice of cookware under 90, and it's already in existence! Unless they make us a really cute small saucepan! And I don't consider the girll press as a peice of cookware! It's a cookware accessory but I can't cook in it, so it's not a peice of cookware to me anyway!
So, who knows it could be really good! Let's hope!

This is the first time that I have been able to go to Wave 1 - so I am extra excited! I think my cluster was in wave 1 the yr I had my baby, but other than that, when I've gone, I've always been in Wave 2 or 3!

Although, timing wise, I prefer wave 2 - then I only have to deal with 2 days of child care!
 
I'm at 3200 submitted right now, but have a ton of shows yet left to close, should make the 6k needed, certainly by July 5th.
 
Well, with my show tonight, I still need $97 to make the $3k!! I'll do it especially by July 5th!!!

I'm so excited because I really didn't think I'd get to the $3k level!!! Yeah!!!:D
 
Congrats Kristi! What a way to top off a crazy June for you! Just think... you'll now have 2 sets of those $3k products! woo-hoo!
 
I know, right!! I'm excited!!!:D
 
wooooo hoooooo
 
Thanks Deb!! Why are we still up?:cool:
 
Lori,

Wow...almost 6000 in sales. That is wonderful. Good for you. I' m at 3200 right now with another 1000 show to close and that is it for the month. Not bad for my first few months. I"m just so excited to get free products. Right now I have three parties on the books for July with the potential for 1 more and maybe two catalog shows. I am hoping all pull through and give me 3000 for more free product. I find I get greedy the closer I get to more free stuff, lol.

Keep selling everyone!!!!
 
I did my forst ever $1K catalog show with 10 people collecting $100 each. I only had 7 hostessess finish, but the show's sitting at $1189.77!!!!!!! Coupled with the little over $300 I had earlier in the month and another catty show I close tomorrow, I think I'm going to get to level 1! (I misssed it by about $500 for spring, it killed me to buy those samples!). YIPPEE!
 
PS--I'm in AWE of you gals that are hitting the $6K mark! You're my idols!
 
Got 2 shows in for 2 free products. I won't make $1500 but still aiming for a $1000 month.
 
Everyone's doing great.

Congratulations on that $1000+ catalog sale. I'm hoping to give one of those a try someday.

Good Luck to everyone!!!

Well, my host is still collecting orders (It's a co-hosted show) but the one host placed her order and she's spending $220 ($155 is with the 25% discount) so I've reached my $3k!! I honestly with everything I've been through this month can't believe I did it!!

So, right now, I have $3063 in sales..:D We do have until July 5 to turn these shows in, right?:confused:
 
Yes Kristi, July 5th, but don't push your deadline...you know what happens when you cut it close! ;)
