When we changed to just a Free Product Value $$ - the bookings incentive also changed.
Now, when someone books from a show - the past host can go to their show and get the host bonus for that month. This is a better deal for everyone for a few different reasons:
1. Shows are much more likely to hold - because the past host wants her host bonus!
2. It's worth more - would you rather have $3 more to spend, or the opportunity to get 60% off a product you've really been wanting?
3. It helps get bookings for more than one month! At a show I did in January, I got 6 bookings - spread out from Feb - May! The host loves this, because she can participate in all 6 shows without spending a bundle! She chooses the host bonus she wants at each show!
Since changing to this new program, I have not had even one past host complain about this way of handling bookings - in fact, they've all loved it!
This new way does seem much more beneficial to the hosts than the old way Frequently Asked Questions
