My goals are posted at my computer....10 shows are scheduled....$600+ show average....= $6000 = lots of FREE Spring/Summer Product! What are your goals?
 
I have been in such a slump lately that this is a stretch. My goal is $3,000
 
My goal is $7000 (that's top level in Canada). I have 8 shows lined up, which works out to $875 in sales per show. I CAN DO THIS!

Maybe if I reach THIS goal, I'll feel better about everything....:rolleyes:.....we'll see!
 
I'm shooting for $3000, which is huge for me since I do this very part time. My calendar is full.
 
My goal is $8,000 November, it would be my largest month ever- I am stretching myself-
 
I've never had sales over $4500, so I would love to try to reach the $6k level. That would be AWESOME! Of course, I will get all of the products anyway since I'm a Director, but I still want to challenge myself to EARN them all as well.

I have 10 cooking shows booked and at least 1 catalog show. I will probably pick up a few more catalog shows before the end of the month.

Don't forget that next month counts, too! My goal is to have at least $2500 in sales in Dec with 6 shows. Right now I have 3 shows booked in December. After the 15th; however, I will be focused on January and the NEW trip!!! I can' wait till the NMD tonight!

I am pushing myself at $6000 especially since I also do PC PT. I have never had a month that high but I also know I can do it! First show was yesterday and she hit $600 before I left. One show down....9 to go! Imagine the commission check...WOW!
 
My goal is $6000, I am already over $1500 ( from Saturday and Sunday) and have 10 more shows this month, so I know I can do $3000, but shooting for $6000.
Good luck everyone!!:balloon::balloon:
 
My goal originally was $3,500 but I am at almost $2,200 and have only done 2 shows. I still have 5 shows plus my Mystery Host Show - wondering if I should up my goal ???
 
Way to go, Meredith and Jenna!! You guys are on FIRE!!!! :)
 
I'm hoping to reach $3000, I have 7 cooking shows and 3, possibly 4 catalog shows. I'd love to reach $6000, but doubt these shows will get me there. I'm working on my newsletter and hopefully get some more shows to help.

I so want to go on a PC trip. It seems the only way for a PT Consultant to do it is to recruit. I have earned Level 1 each year but have yet to achieve Level 2. Maybe the trip incentive will boost my recruiting goals. I can't wait for tonight:D
 
I am already at level two with my shows from this weekend. My goal is $6000. I have 6 shows left for the month. I hope to get a couple of catalogs shows added.

December I have 3 show's with an opening for one more. My focus is going to be January/February bookings now. Of course, I will not pass up any catalog shows that people may want to do. :)
 
Those of you who already have shows submitted...what are you demoing and are you doing anything different or special this month to get higher sales, or are those your normal sales?
BTW, my goal is 3k but I don't know, I had a show cancel on me and a catalog show bail already. So I"m optomistically hopeful...
 
I have 5 cooking, 3 catalog, and 2 fairs. I would love $6000, however would be thrilled wi th $3000 too. We will see! Good luck everyone!

You guys are so lucky to find out now!!! We don't find out 'til Leadership in January (at least, I'm pretty sure we don't!)
 
Show 1 got rescheduled probably for December ... Show 2 got rescheduled for Nov. 16 ... Show 3 is on and Show 4 is not returning my call ... invites are going out for Show 5 and soon for Show 6.

So with 4 shows still on the books, I will be thrilled beyond words if I hit Level 1.
 
this month i actually want to hit my goal instead of just setting a goal & then being disappointed. i have 3 shows on the books so far & one oct host that wanted to reschedule that I am going to try & have her host a show this month. so i want to atleast have $1500 in sales. anything more than that will be icing on the cake.

Holy cow! I'm not far behind you. I am just under $1000 for the month from my two shows this weekend with 8 shows left to go (including a bridal shower) and 3 catalog shows. I am still following up with a couple people about doing a show this month. We'll see what happens. I'm shooting for $6000!

I am doing Homemade for the Holiday show's this month. This past weekend I did the Raspberry Mousse Cookie Napoleon recipe at both my shows. The sales are doing awesome because everyone is doing their holiday shopping and getting the stoneware a the great deal. My host's are also cashing in on the guest special and getting it at an even better discount. :D
 
So far, I have had 3 cooking shows this month, two are over 600.00 each, and have will probably go to at least 700.00. The other one is at 258.00. I have 10 more shows this month and 2 catty shows to close. I am hoping for $6000.00. I made the sasuage bisquit firttia at one show and the bread bowl dip at the other. I also made the triffle at 2 of the shows. They went over great. The frittita is great.
