Holy cow! So I get a message today from someone whose daughter was invited to an open house i did on Sunday with Premier and TOHE. She wasn't able to make it, but apparently called her mom in Oregon and told her what she wanted for Christmas and gave her my info.

$259 later I got off the phone with her! I put it in as a catalog show so she actually saved money!

YIPPEE! Something unexpected and very surprising. Just submitted my last show of the year. I hit $2795 for the month!

So, I don't have anything again till Jan. 6th, therefore I won't have a commission check on the 8th...am I just going to owe them the 2 bucks they take out?? Just curious!

Can you drum up an extra $205 to get the 1000 incentive points??

They'll just take the $2 out on the next paycheck. I've had that happen this year.

Yes, you have until the end of the month! And they will wait until you have a paycheck to deduct the $2!
