I'm trying to close a Nov. show the show is 1400.00 so the host should recieve 2 stones at 60% off. And she wants 2 of the dep covered bakers but i can only enter 1 in it keeps saying that i've exceeded the max number of monthly host specials allowed am i supposed to enter the second 60% a special way?

Have you tried to put something else in just to see if it works?
Maybe it won't let you do two of the same, that I am not sure of??

have you updated lately?
 
Are you getting a warning or a red dot? (p3) My Host from yesterday was able to order two, so I'm not sure why yours won't allow it- if it's just a warning, then you can still submit it that way. Otherwise you'll have to call tech support in the morning- they were great for me one time before when I had a strange problem. Good luck!
 
I don't have the flyer in front of me but I thought a host could only get one of a particular stone for 60% off and if she earned 2 she'd have to choose a different one. I could be wrong though - I'm sure someone will correct me if I am.
 
I just double checked the flyer and it doesn't say anything about how many of 1 piece they can choose (except for a limit of two pieces of stoneware). It's like how you can order more than one of the same half priced item if you earned more than one. Try calling HO tomorrow.By the way, great job on the show.
 
Are you entering them as one item with a quantity of 2? P3 may not be able to comprehend it that way. Try putting the second DCB as its own item. Just like if you have two of the same half-priced item, you have to enter each sparately.
 
I am trying to close out a show and I just talked to HO and they said they released a major update today and they said everyone is going to have to do it if you wanna submit shows which that is why i can't finish and submit my show.

She told me to go to Download center
Then go to manage your business
Then click on Manual Download
Download it
Then select run and she said when it is done installing it should be PP3.0.12

She told me the download will take almost 30 mins.
 
I understood you could order only one of each of the stoneware.. If you earned 2.. they had to be different. Could be wrong.. but that is what I understood.

YIKES, I haven't switched over to PP3 yet and don't know anything about it. I have three shows closing this week (one today). Am I going to have problems? :confused:
 
It's probably only a P3 update. But you do have to switch to P3 by the end of February.
 
OMG OMG OMG!! There's a "Download P3 for Mac" link on the page now!! Wa-hoo!!Gonna go backup my system so I can install it!

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I'm struggling to get orders during my show?

If you're having trouble getting orders, try engaging with your guests more. Ask open-ended questions about their cooking habits and preferences. Share personal stories or recipes that relate to the products you're showcasing. Consider offering a special incentive, like a discount or a raffle entry, for those who place orders during the show.

How can I encourage guests to place orders before the show ends?

Create a sense of urgency by reminding guests that the show is ending soon and that they don't want to miss out on the products. Highlight any limited-time offers or exclusive deals. You can also remind them of the benefits of the products and how they can make their cooking experience easier and more enjoyable.

What if my guests are hesitant to buy?

Address their hesitations by asking what concerns they have. It could be about price, functionality, or suitability for their needs. Provide reassurance by sharing testimonials or reviews from other customers. You can also offer a money-back guarantee to alleviate any fears about making a purchase.

How can I follow up with guests after the show to secure orders?

After the show, send a personalized thank-you message to each guest, expressing your appreciation for their participation. Include a recap of the products showcased and any special offers still available. Encourage them to reach out with any questions or to place their orders, and remind them of the benefits of the products they showed interest in.

What are some effective closing techniques I can use during my show?

Use a combination of storytelling and urgency to close your show effectively. Share a success story about how a specific product changed your cooking experience. Then, create urgency by reminding guests of any limited-time offers or exclusive deals. Finally, ask for the sale directly by inviting them to place their orders before the show concludes.
