This may not be the right forum to ask this but it always has lots of post. I figured somebody would see it tonight.

How are the Career Sales figured? Is it based on total sales from a show or just the commissionable sales. I'm trying to get to $15,000 before Christmas so I need to know what to aim for.:confused:
 
Commissionable Sales only... good luck with your goals :)
 
Good for you for setting a goal for yourself. It is commissionable sales - don't forget that individual orders and online orders count, too!

Good luck!
 
Easy way to remember commissionable sales always for consultants - incentives, raises, career sales. Show sales for hosts - benefits :)
 
Hi there! I understand your confusion about how Career Sales are calculated. It is actually based on your total commissionable sales, which means the sales that are eligible for earning commission. This includes all orders from shows, parties, and individual orders placed through your personal website. It does not include any non-commissionable items, such as business supplies or hostess rewards. In order to reach your goal of $15,000 before Christmas, I recommend focusing on increasing your commissionable sales and booking as many shows as possible. Best of luck to you! :)
