I agree with Heidi!!!! This is so exciting for me to see!!!!!!
 
You might think about sending out an email to past Consultants who are past their 6 months inactive and seeing if any of them want to give it another shot. I did this and let them know that we now offer an $80 kit and had a girl call me that wants to re-sign this Thursday!! I too am working on the trip and have 3 new Consultants on their way to qualifying!!!
 
I am cheering for you all!!! You can do it!!!
 
Way to go, you can do it!!!
 
CONGRATS!!! Way To Go!!!!

I won't be making mine though :cry:
I have the points, need 3 recruits.....:cry:

Oh Well, theres always next year :o
 
Way to go! You all can do this!
 
You can do it!
You can do it!
If ya put your mind to it!
Buckle down! Buckle down!
Do it! Do it! Do it!

Two more December bookings at my show last night making 4 for December. I have two more this month to go. I'll be just around $1800 with the three shows I have to go in this week.
 
I did Disney last year... Once you travel with PC you won't ever miss a year! They treat you like royalty!! You can do it!!! Make a chart and post it next to your desk, refrig, etc with every $100 you need and mark it off!! It kept me motivated and helps keep you on track!

I submitted about $600 in orders last night and have about $300 for tonight. I still have two shows this month and a booth this weekend! One of my new gals is almost qualified too!
 
Way to go Wadesgirl!

I'm at 5,105 left in pts needed. NC should qualify this coming weekend + 5 events of my own this week, 2 catties to close out. Hopeful to meet pts this month so I can be stress-free in Dec.

Well my show for this Saturday just cancelled :( She was a big host the last two times she hosted also. Super sad now! I was banking on her to hit $3000 for SAT also!
 
You can still do it!!!! Have you sent out the flyer from PWS about the return of the DCB? That might drum up some sales for you!!!

Now I'm even more discouraged. Another $1000 past host that booked for December just cancelled on me :( I cannot get a hold of my missing consultant. She would have helped out a lot. Haven't exactly looked at my points. I did have a show last night that should close out over $500 and still have my booth this weekend. Trying to not get down but I feel like I'll be so close but not close enough to pull it off!

Have you thought about doing some kind of Black Friday/Cyber Monday Sale? If you do, let people know you're doing it to earn a trip!
 
Definitely look at your points! You may be closer than you think. Don't give up yet! You have 1 1/2 months...you can do this! Becky made a great point. Make sure everyone hears that you are working for the trip AND close to earning it...whether it's email or face to face at shows!

Go wadesgirl!!

Yes I am planning on doing a Black Friday Sale.

Earlier this week I did have a lady call me to place an order. She said she saved my email about trying to earn the trip and knew she would call if she needed anything. She also plans on buying more for Christmas presents, just needed some stuff right now.

Okay I checked my points. I'm currently at 43,398 with one more guaranteed qualifying recruit (she's only $200 away!). So that leaves me with 6,602 for the rest of the year. That's why I'm a little discouraged. I've never had more than $5000 sales in a month and it's December. But don't worry I'm not giving up yet! It's not over until January 1st!

YOU can DO it!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had my highest in sales last April with over 7,000. Highest before that was 3,000ish. I wanted that Excellence Award and I got it!!! DON"T GIVE UP!!

I'm obsessed with tracking my points (prob. to the point it isn't healthy);)
Make a chart and start coloring it in every time you earn 100 pts. Keep it posted where you and everyone else can see it. Trust me it works!

1 fundraiser could put you over the top. Contact local gymnastic groups (I had a lady at my show last night ask about doing one with 60 gals before Christmas).:sing:

I currently have baseball teams & a Montessori school working on one as well.
See if you can still get into a craft fair. Get on the phone.

Offer an extra incentive for host to book in close. For the ones you have on the books offer bonus for each outside order, so if they cxl you still have a show.

Example: 1 outside order = season's best
2 outside order = citrus peeler
3 outside orders = mini whipper

I have a flier but it wouldn't attach. PM me your e-mail and I'll send it that way.
 
Don't give up now. You can do it!!!!!
 
Update:
Baseball Fundraiser Closed out last night $2,444!
 
$1,735 pts to go.

WADESGIRL: How are you doing?
 
You will both do it!

WADESGIRL: How are you doing?

It's going! My newest consultant should qualify this week and I have another $500 show to turn in. I think I'll still be around 6000 for December UGH! Still working it though. I'll get actual numbers posted at the end of the month.
 
Everyone needs to put your progress in your signature! :D

Most of my sales are turned in for the month and my newest consultant just qualified. Right now I'm at 46,833 in points. Leaving me with 5,167 points to earn by the end of December. I wish my other consultant would just do something and qualify! It would make me feel so much better about all this.
 
I am right there with you! I am okay with sales but I have only 2 qualified and 3 that are on their way to qualifying. I need at least 2 of them to get on the stick and do it!!! UUUggggghhhh!!! I hate the waiting!!
