How Can Hosting 12 Cooking Shows Help Achieve a $6000 Sales Goal in November?

[Jennie4PC]

I know it is SAT month but I was wondering what everyones goals are. My goal for Nov is to have a 6000 month I really want it all. So I figured I avarage about 500 shows and doing that I would need to have 12 cooking shows catty shows are a bonus. I told my Dh what my goals were and right now he is totally being supportive I did let him know I would be gone 3-4 nights a wk and with Thanksgiving and going out of town in there that makes it harder. He is totally supporting me in the 12 shows. Right now I have 8 bookings for Nov and 1 catty show. Still working on those last 4 shows.

My goal is level 2 of the SAT. I would like to have over $3k in sales in Nov. So far I have 7 shows booked in Nov. I would like to book about 3 more and hold about 8 (my family can't take more than that). I know some of you have over $6k with 8 shows, but I am trying to be realistic and not stress myself out. $3k is within my reach and will keep me on track for the $100,000 level Career Club. It's all good !

I too would love a 6K month. I want all the sell-a-thon plus it would hopefully get me the cruise without having to worry about doing a lot in December.

I still have 5 shows in October and a new recruit that I hope will qualify by Nov 30th for her appetizer plates and that will help a lot too...

I only have 6 cooking shows booked right now with hopefully one more setting a date. I really need to have at least 10 booked - so I hope I can get some more from the shows I have left this month...

We'll see...

I know I'll definately hit $3000 with my five shows. I am going for the $6000. At my sunday show I'll book more shows for November! Shop from your seat not on your feet! If I get 3 more shows I'll be in PC heaven!

cloud 9 here I come!

 

[sarahlegare]

My goal for november is $3000, and to recruit at least 1! Right now, I have 5 shows...want to up that to at least 8...we are taking the last week in november off & going away as a family...a tradition for us!!

 

[quiverfull7]

I want 12 cooking shows but I've got LOTS of calling to make to see God honor that Goal... I know He's not going to do it all Himself.. .even tho He COULD! I want the 6000 too! Actually I need it to make sure I can pay my mortgage in Nov. and Dec.

 

[cheferikab]

I just want 1 booking! I have nothing for October or November

I have hit such a stall!

 

[ginamkiely]

my goal is $6,000 for nov. i want ALL that SAT stuff!!

 

[Chef Bobby]

I'm just getting back to being a future director, so I would like to keep my sales at or above $1250.

 

[lockhartkitchen]

My goal is $6,000!! Like Gina, I want it all. I have 8 shows booked now for November. With 9 more shows this month, so I'm going to get those bookings. I have 2 that need to reschedule- making it 10 shows. I know I can book more. I've already hit $1800 this month, so I feel confident I can do it next month.

 

[Gina M]

My goal is at least $3000 - hoping to have 6 cooking shows and 2 vendor fairs - currently have 1 cooking show, 2 vendor fairs and about 5 more to get scheduled. Working on that this week to firm up dates.

 

[JAE]

I would love to hit $6000! My goal is $3000 for November. Right now I have 6 shows scheduled, and I have two shows left for October. Hopefully, I'll get at least two more shows booked for November from those October shows. I'd love to have a September re-do. I had 6 cooking shows and three catalog shows to make almost $3900 in sales. That's my personal best in this business.
Hope everyone reaches there November goals.

I'm trying to reasonable and shoot for the $1500 level. However, reaching level 2 would be incredibly awesome! I only have 5 bookings so far and am looking to boost that while still in Oct. Any ideas on selling those SA pieces to future host? I just can't sell 'em this month. It's scaring me for next month! I love them so its not that; just not sure what else to say to "convince" people to host for that special. Everyone I've talked to wants stones or pots.:yuck:

 

[sarahlegare]

So those of you that are aiming for $6000, what is your plan?? How many shows do you think you'll need??

Do you bring the Appetizer Plates and Caddy Set? That has worked for me. Last time I made a holiday card to put into the card holder. I meant to put a pretty ribbon on it, too, but I didn't get around to doing that. I will try to do that for next show.

Even thought that isn't my goal at this point, I would have to have at least 12 shows booked plus a couple of catalog shows for sales buffer. I don't even think I have that many dates available unless I get some day time shows. I have one host thinking about that. I told her I'd have a lot more days available for her that way. My nights are pretty filled up so she doesn't have many choices.

 

[sfdavis918]

I am going for $4000. My plan is to have 12 shows booked, with a couple of catty shows also. I gotta get going on the phone though, I only have 4 shows and one possible catty lined up now. I just realized that I only have 10 dates on my schedule open! Gotta change that now!

Amanda, my suggestion would be to not focus so much on the host bonus for bookings, but focus more on the incredible host program we offer. I would say that half of my Nov. Bookings (right now 8 cooking shows & 5 catalog shows) have nothing to do with the host bonus. I have started using the "Booking Coupons" that someone posted on here as a visual for what a host typically receives from a show. I hand the coupons one at a time to my host as I explain to the group what she will be getting. It seems to really spark some interest!

 

[lacychef]

I too am aiming for the 6K level. I've got 6 shows right now & am hoping for at least 10, with a few catty's too. With turkey day, that week is tough to book....gotta work the phone today!
I'm also hoping to have earned the cruise by the end of Nov so I can relax more in Dec!

 

[PamperedChefDude]

We would live to hit $6000 so we can get everything for free but we're taking a 2 step approach to this. We're shooting for the $3000 first and then ultimately the $6000 level. We currently have 5 cooking shows, 2 catalog shows and 1 mystery host show scheduled for November. We're working on trying to book some more shows. We still have 2 more shows for this month and to close out 3 more catalog shows so we hopefully will get some bookings from them. Good Luck everyone!

my goals are almost identical to yours!

I still have 6 shows left in October, and some cattys (4) going on too. Right now I have 13 shows for November and I am actively seeking out some cattys too. I want to hit 6k, but mostly for the cruise. The SAL would be a bonus in my book as I know I'll promote by the end of the year and get the directors package. BUT I would love to have the doubles to give to my team!

Thanks for the Booking coupons idea. I have 2 more shows for November, so I think I will try this. It will make it more fun when explaining the host benefits to the whole crowd.

My goal is to make level 2 of the sell a thon. Right now, I have 5 shows and 2 cattys for november. I am hoping for at least 2 more shows, just in case I have a cancellation.

 

[feather18]

the coupon idea is cute, to hand to the host. another thing that would be cute, would be to have fake money...like BIG fake money.. i wonder if you can make that ...? does anyone know?

Thanks becky!

 

[raebates]

I'm shooting for the $6,000 in sales. I'll settle for $3,000, though, if I have to.

I hope you LIVE anyway! JK ~ Shoot for $6000, if you miss, you'll get the $3K!

 

[Kitchen2u]

Even though Directors get the whole package (or at least most of it) ~ I'l still shotting for $6000 level ~ love the doubles for my team meeting drawings! So do they!

You're welcome! but I need to mention again that it's not mine! Someone else posted it on here and I borrowed it. So THANKS to whoever posted it first!

 

[sailortena]

My goal is to get another booking from my show next week, to have at least three shows next month and to reach level one, selling $1500. That will work for me.

 

[ChefJeniLobdell]

Heather look at the dollar store for the big money bills. That is where I found my pack.

My realistic goal is $3,000, but my ultimate goal is $6,000. Last year I had $5,000 in sales so I know I could do it. I have two bazaars and three shows so far. Also going out of town for five days though. Going to be a crazy month.

Good luck to everyone:angel:

 

[tdawson]

I would like to do 6k. I was able to do a liitle over 4k in September with 8 parties and 1 catalog show.
I front loaded November, so if anyone rescheduals I can have time to make it up. I have 6 shows on the books and would like 3 more. If I can book those 3 days and close 4 to 6 catalog shows I think I will make it. I have a open house in my home town on Oct 27th. I have two friends that want to do cat parties. If I can get 4 more I should be ok. I am going to offer something to encourage them to close as ealy in Nov as possable. It will take a lot of work and phone time, But I think it will be worth it. It would be so great to have the products. I get so tired of saying. "No, I do not have that yet, but I can not wait to get it."
