Hosting Dual Catalog Shows: Can I Put the First Host Down?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the management of dual catalog shows in a direct sales context. It is established that the first host cannot receive booking benefits for the second catalog show until her own show has closed and been submitted. The eligibility for booking benefits is contingent upon hosting a physical party or event, not merely a catalog show. Clear communication with both hosts is essential to navigate this situation effectively and to explore alternative incentives for the first host.

I had a host start a catalog show. When she was getting orders, one of her guests, asked to have a catalog show as well. So now I have 2 catalog shows going on. The problem is, the second catalog show is going to close today. My problem is, the first host wanted the booking benefit for the second show. Can I put her down, even though her show hasn't closed?
 
No. The first show has to close and be submitted before it can be listed as past host of another show.
 
It's great that you have two catalog shows going on, but it seems like there may have been some confusion about the booking benefit. Typically, the host of a show is only eligible for the booking benefit if they actually host a physical party or event. Since the second show is a catalog show, it may not be fair to the first host to receive the booking benefit for it. In this situation, I would suggest reaching out to the first host and explaining the situation. Let her know that the second show is a catalog show and that the booking benefit may not apply. You could also offer her a different incentive or reward for helping to get the second show going. As for putting her down for the booking benefit, I would wait until her show has closed and see if she has met the requirements for it. Communication is key in situations like this, so make sure to keep both hosts informed and try to find a solution that works for everyone.
