I had a show on Friday....not too great...guest sales are at $320, but the hostess order is: almost $400!! My question is, should I split her order into two to bump up her guest sales & FPV? Or will it not make much difference since she won't get the % off the items that go on the guest sales....My brain is ready to explode. Can someone just tell me what to do so I can stop obsessing and just close the show!! LOL Thanks!!!!!!!:D
 
Offer it to her. However, if you split her order and have her as a guest, she will have to pay shipping and will not get the % off on the guest order.
 
I would just go with what you have and submit it. If it's not going to make that much of a difference pricewise, I would keep it as it is. Eitherway, you get your commission
 
Actually you will get more in commissionable sales if you split it up. It will benefit you more than the host if you split the order.
 
Put enough stuff on a guest order to bump up her host sales and see what hte bottom line for her would be.
 
I would offer to do this for the host and let her make the decision. Sometimes taking that extra step earns you a really loyal customer. I know my host appreciate it when I offer to do things like this for them.

And since I will only make your commission go up you are offering something good to the host and bettering yourself at the same time.

I always try to play with shows to get them the most for their money.
