I ended up with one order last night for about $80. NOt sure if it was a customer or home office lead yet. Hoping it was a customer, as I may still get a HO lead today if it was. I am less than $200 away from $6000. :( I had 7 catalog shows this month and 5 of them totally fell apart. HOw does that happen all at once? I kept in touch like I always do and everyone said they needed a little more time etc etc. One told me she had 2 orders and then yesterday said she had none. 2 of them did not have enough to make a party so I had to combine them and have them shipped to me to make one party.I have one left hanging out there that I have no idea if she did anything, but I am not counting on it. I keep playing phone tag with her. She booked in Sept for an Oct cat party and then changed it to NOv. I have been calling/emailing for 2 weeks now. I just hope I can find her today and she collected enough for a party. If not, who knows. I really really wanted to get to $6000 this month. I am going to try and drum up a few orders tonight at work.

Do YOU have any Christmas shopping to do? ...or weddings/birthdays in the next few months? If so, shop now. Order in the giftee's name. You don't get your discount but you do get commission (which is higher than the consultant discount and close to TL/D discount so about a wash) and that higher level of products.

...also GET ON THE PHONE. You're too close to give up!

I've done this. It's not allowed to order as a guest on a show, however I feel personally that it's okay if I need a little bit to finish off a show (never more than $25) and I have to buy a gift (ONLY if those two circumstances are true) I'll order in the giftee's name so that the warrranties/gaurantees are under their name.

My buddies came through for me today! I went into work and said I need a few orders I am "this close" to getting all the spring products for free. I gave them free shipping and 10% discount. I got almost $100 in orders!!I also had the hostess of the party I am closing tonight get some more orders. I told her that I would put any extra orders I get today on hers if she could get some more too! I actually think I am OVER $6000 now!! Wheew! SO glad that stress has ended!! I am so psyched to get the entire line for free. That was my goal!

Thanks for the encouragement!!
