Which one should i do and call for the past host? i did not remember that pereson had booked from one show earlyer thia year from a catalog show. :eek: so i am calling that person tonight so she can start picking out the item at 60% off this month.
 
It's up to the new host which show she'd like her booking from. Does she want it to be from the first past host or the second? It should be from the first but it's up to the new, current host.
 
is one past 6 months ago? that would be ideal.

it will be 6 months now and the new host knows the past host
 
If one of the shows you booked the new host off of was more than 6 months ago then that can't be the show you use, it would have to be the more current show that you book the new host off of

so the one in may can not use it?
 
i think the one in may has until the end of october to use the past host discount. now, what i want to know is does a past host have to use he discount at the show of the person who booked off her? or can she use it at another show? like say some one booked but didn't hold the booking, but past host goes to another party within the six months, can the past host use the benefit at that other party?
 
Ok, I couldn't find it in P&P or anywhere on CC, but my understanding is the benefit follows the booking host, which is the point of making sure people book at the original show. If the past host goes to the party of someone who didn't book from her show, she would only get to use her 10% discount.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean if I booked someone twice but for different shows?

Booking someone twice for different shows means that the same person has agreed to attend or host two separate events. This can happen if they are interested in multiple themes or products being showcased at different times.

How should I handle a situation where I accidentally booked someone twice?

First, reach out to the person to clarify the situation. Confirm which show they would prefer to attend or if they would like to participate in both. Clear communication will help avoid any confusion and ensure they feel valued.

Will booking someone twice affect my sales or commission?

Booking someone twice for different shows can actually be beneficial for your sales and commission. If they decide to host or attend both shows, you have the opportunity to increase your sales and potentially earn more commission from each event.

What if the person wants to attend both shows?

If the person is interested in attending both shows, make sure to provide them with all the necessary details for each event. This includes dates, times, themes, and any special promotions. Keeping them informed will enhance their experience and increase the likelihood of their participation.

Is it common to accidentally book someone twice in direct sales?

Yes, it can happen in direct sales, especially if you have a busy schedule or are managing multiple events. It's important to keep organized records of your bookings to minimize the chances of double booking and to ensure a smooth process for both you and your customers.
