If a host (Jane) has a show...and she gets 2 bookings at her show (Susie and Kelly)...and one of the bookings cancels (Kelly). Can Jane Host find another friend to host a show in Kelly's place and still get her 60% host bonus item at the new person's show?
 
I don't think so...I think it has to be in the name of the original guest who booked.
...but I could be wrong.
 
You are right Susan, it has to be booked off the original show and the same person.Only way "around" is to convince Kelly to co-host with Jane Host which is hard to do. I always have just had yes or nos, no compromises of I'll host if it is someone else's house.
 
really? I was under the impression that the number of bookings was what mattered, not so much the date or who the host was.

It ties to the PAST HOST number, so yes it matters. Date can be flexed, but not person.# of bookings, was the old, old system of benefits...
 
Let me further confuse the issue. If another consultant wants to do Kelly's party that is ok..as long as Kelly or Sara's names are on each of the shows and Jane Host will still get her 60% off benefit.

The shows have to be no later than 6 months from Jane Host's party and must have only Kelly or Sara's names on.

AND If Jane has hosted more than one party in the past year...make sure you put her host ID number from the show Kelly and Sara booked from!!:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
 
Ok, now this raises another question. Why couldn't Kelly be a silent co-host? Meaning, her name is on the party, but the other person receives the benefits and the order is shipped to her?

I would not advocate doing that unless she truly IS a co-host of the party.

Otherwise, you are just getting around the system and it won't be allowed for true co-host situations in the future.
 
The other issue that arises then isthe warranty for each product not to mention that if Kelly does have a show with another consultant, you would have some explaining to do when she found out she has a PHD that she didn't know about.
