Well, I was just about to close my $1,000 show when I got an e-mails from TWO PEOPLE who want to place orders with it!

At this point, I am looking to close her show out at just about $1,000 PLUS a separate show of about $150 or more. This is because we have no benefits above $1,000 so it's more beneficial for the host to turn in two shows. :D

It also helps the co-host because she has a party in her name too.

They are splitting the half price items and getting everything they want under the 30 percent discount ... and donating all the free products they get (all $215 to $250 of them) to baskets being raffled off for Relay for Life.

Most of my commission is also going to the cause, but it still looks good for me because I get a pretty nifty incentive!

My customers AMAZE me sometimes!

OOPS! Yes we do! Check out the chart...underneath it, it says that for every $100 over the $1,000 mark they add $25 in free. The half price and discounts don't go any higher, though.

I just had a show close at $1300 in guest sales...she got $290 in FREE stuff!
 
Underneath the Host Rewards chart in the catalog it says, "For every $100 in guest sales over $1,000, add another $25 in Free Product Value."

Sounds like a great show....BEE

Oh wow! I didn't notice that!If I turn it in as one show, then, does the co-host get anything?I'm not even sure if they want the 60 percent off items!
 
Co-host can still get items. Ony one person can select the 60% off special. The FPV and 1/2 price items can be divided how ever they wish.

After you designate someone as the co-host on the show, go to where the host benefits are listed on the screem. You'll see some boxes where you can indicate how the benefits are divided.

Does the co-host show up as a past host when it comes to booking benefits or past host discount?
 
Both co-hosts will get the past-host discount, but only one will be able to choose the booking benefit at each show. So, if you booked 2, one can get one show's benefit and the 2nd can get the other show's benefit.

That's kind of how they've worked it out already anyway ...

Only reason I was going to split it was because I thought they'd get more benefits if I did it that way, but boy was I wrong! Plus I had to put them in separately on the web site because the second host's people wouldn't know to order under the first host's name!
 
WOW- thats awesome.... I am going to have a relay for life show her soon. I am on a team... and never thought of making a basket with all the free stuff. How cool is that idea! Thanks for that tip!
