You get 25 catalogs for each signed recruit until you promote to Director, but you only get the $50 TPC dollars for the first 5 recruits, regardless of whether or not you have promoted.
Good for you Liz...one more, and you've gotten your "raise"! Keep it up!
P.S. In the future, questions like this would go under the "Recruiting Area", in case you need to post something in the future. Again, Great Job!

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of sales should be included in the fundraising totals?
When calculating fundraising totals, you should include all sales made during the event, including product sales, any additional donations, and any special promotions or discounts that apply to the fundraising effort. Be sure to account for both direct sales and any online orders placed during the fundraising period.
Should I include shipping and tax in the fundraising totals?
Yes, you should include shipping and tax in the fundraising totals as they contribute to the overall amount raised. However, it's important to clarify with the organization you are fundraising for whether they want the total amount including these fees or just the product sales before tax and shipping.
How do I handle returns or exchanges when calculating totals?
When calculating your fundraising totals, any returns or exchanges should be deducted from the total sales amount. This ensures that the final fundraising total accurately reflects the net sales generated during the event.
What if I have multiple fundraising events? How do I report totals?
If you have multiple fundraising events, it's best to keep separate records for each event. You can compile the totals from each event to provide an overall fundraising total, but make sure to clearly distinguish the amounts raised from each individual event for transparency.
Is there a specific format I should use to present the fundraising totals?
While there is no strict format, it's helpful to present the fundraising totals in a clear and organized manner. You can use a simple table or a list format that includes categories such as total sales, shipping, tax, donations, and any deductions for returns. This makes it easy for everyone to understand how the total was calculated.
