On your best show # under your name do you include totals from fundraisers or just catalog/kitchen shows?
 
Everything goes here.
 
I don't know where to post this, so here goes. I'm very close to having a recruit sign up. How much commission will I get if any on 1 recruit? also can anyone please explain the "over rides to me"

THNKS IN ADVANCE;
LIZ
 
Overrides are commission on others as well as an increase in the commission on your own sales. A Director makes 3% overrides on his/her own sales (when the Cluster meets sales goals) as well as the first line. So, if a Director were to sell $1000 and her Cluster were to sell another $3000, she would get 3% more on the $4000 for an override of $120. To get overrides, you have to be at least a FD. Then, when you sell $1250 in a month, you get 1% on your sales and the sales of your recruits. Each time you recruit someone (before you become a Director) you get 25 catalogs in the mail. When s/he qualifies (before going inactive) you get 2000 trip points and $50 PC.HTH
 
Quick clarification...

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!
 
Nicole,I was thinking that until my cat jumped on my keyboard...thanks for clarifying!
 
Too Funny!

OK I'm totally confused about what happened to this post. Did anyone answer my question.....

I don't want to put my fundraiser total if everyone else isn't. I want to play fair.

I think all show types should count. :)

Fundraisers count. It is your highest commissionable sales for kitchen/cooking/catalog/fundraiser/bridal show.

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.
