I have a host that was supposed to turn in a show in Feb that had 2 sets of Gen II and a set of Pro cookware. Well, she waits to call me to close in May and didn't send the money with the order forms. :mad: Well, now I have people calling wanting there stuff and I just submitted the order on the 31st. Here's my dilemma, the host's credit card didn't clear and now the order is on hold:eek: , so will I get the points for the pans or not? What do you all think? I haven't had the chance to call HO yet since I definitely haven't got the cash to cover it myself and I haven't been able to get ahold of the host because she's on vacation and not due home for a week! I will call them on Monday whether I've heard from her or not!
 
If you can resolve the payment issue before the deadline the HO gave you, the sales will count for May. Maybe you can call around and find one of her friends that can give you the host's cell number and contact her on vacation. Good Luck!
 
Ughhh, people can be just so rude...I agree, I think as long as you get everything taken care of payment wise you should get the points.
 
I hope you can get a hold of her that is lots of points on the line. I would try to call HO on Monday just to let them know that your host is out of town and see if they can delay the deadline any for you.

I wish you luck!!

Thanks guys! Y'all are so awesome. That was my impression from the email that HO sent me. I really wanted the Stirfry skillet and this put me over the top, but when I got the email on the 1st I nearly died!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if my host didn't turn in the show order on time?

If your host didn't turn in the show order on time, reach out to them immediately to understand the situation. Discuss the importance of timely submissions and see if they can still provide the necessary information. If they are unable to submit the order, you may need to consider rescheduling the show or discussing alternative options with them.

Can I still process the order if it’s late?

Yes, you can still process the order if it’s late, but it may depend on your company's policies regarding late submissions. Check with your direct sales company’s guidelines to see if there are any penalties or restrictions for late orders. If allowed, make sure to communicate any potential delays to your host and customers.

How can I prevent this issue from happening in the future?

To prevent this issue in the future, set clear deadlines with your hosts for when orders need to be submitted. Consider sending reminders as the deadline approaches and provide them with all necessary information upfront. Building a good relationship with your hosts can also encourage them to prioritize timely submissions.

What if my host is unresponsive about the late submission?

If your host is unresponsive, try reaching out through different communication methods, such as text, email, or social media. If they still do not respond, you may need to move forward without their input and decide how to handle the show based on your company’s policies. Document your attempts to contact them in case you need to reference it later.

Will my host still receive their rewards if the show is late?

Whether your host receives their rewards for a late show depends on your direct sales company's policies. Some companies may still honor rewards if the order is processed, while others may have strict deadlines. It's important to clarify these details with your company and communicate them to your host to manage their expectations.
