In P3 can someone tell the difference of the place that says Show booking or Potential. I want to know if anyone has found out that if it matters for the past host to get the credit for the booking.

I am thinking it is for our information but want to confirm it.

TIA
 
If you enter it as a Potential Booking, the Hostess will NOT get credit. If you want the hostess to get credit, it must be entered as an actual booking with a date. HTH!
 
I don't think the past host can get the host discount for a potential booking. If someone indicates that they may host a show, I go ahead and put them down for a booking (in the month they'd like to host), so the past host can benefit.

THANKS for the quick responses, I have always entered them as show bookings even if I don't have a real date yet. I was worried the previous host wouldn't get credit.

I have my new consultant on the phone and wanted to make sure I gave her the right information.
 
on a related note to this question.....I vaguely recall reading somewhere that there was a problem with P3 that you couldn't change a booking date. Is that right? or maybe its now fixed?

I changed it a few days ago. It is probably fixed now, they have been doing a lot of fixing.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the 'Show Booking' option affect host credit in P3?

No, the 'Show Booking' option does not directly affect host credit in P3. Host credit is primarily based on the sales generated during the actual show, not on potential bookings.

What is the 'Potential' option in P3?

The 'Potential' option in P3 allows consultants to estimate future sales and bookings based on current trends and potential host opportunities. It helps in planning but does not influence the current host credit.

How is host credit calculated in P3?

Host credit in P3 is calculated based on the total sales from the show. The more sales generated, the higher the host credit, which is separate from any potential bookings or show bookings.

Can I use the 'Show Booking' feature to increase my host's credit?

No, using the 'Show Booking' feature does not increase the host's credit. It is a tool for tracking potential future shows and does not impact the credit earned from the current show.

Is there any benefit to using the 'Potential' option for my host?

Yes, while the 'Potential' option does not affect host credit, it can provide valuable insights into possible future sales and bookings, helping the host to plan and maximize their benefits from future shows.
