In addition to not meeting the group requirements for Team Leader this month I am also going to lose my home office "Leads" because I don't have $1250.00 in sales. I am so mad, two of my parties cancelled for this month. My catalog party for this month I have tried calling and calling and can't get any response from her. I was wondering if anyone has an email that I can send out asking for help meeting my $330.00 shortfall. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.:cry:
 
I was looking for some of the letters I have but I say something like this:I have set some big goals for myself this month and can use your help! I need $xxx to make my goal for June. Can you help me by placing an order for me? This month the Guest Special is really super! For an order of $25 or more, you will receive a Season's Best Recipe Collection FREE! For an order of $60 or more, you will receive 2 of our great Pampered Pantry Rubs FREE plus a Season's Best Recipe Collection! What a great deal! Please email me your order by 9 p.m. on June 29th! Anyone placing an order of $25 or more will be entered in a drawing for xxx." I wouldn't make the prize worth more than $3! Good luck!
 
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. It sounds like a tough month for you. Have you tried reaching out to your upline or other team members for support and advice? They may have some ideas on how you can boost your sales and meet your requirements. Also, have you considered hosting a Facebook party or reaching out to friends and family for support? Sometimes a personal touch can make all the difference in reaching your goals. I hope things turn around for you and you're able to meet your requirements. Best of luck!
