If she earned 25% at her show I will add 15% to the amount she gets as a past host at shows booked off hers. Often once they spend all their benefits they don't want to use their discount especially if they have bookings - have to save something for their friends' shows. They are always thrilled with this and it costs me nothing. If they don't order, I pay $0; if they do order, I pay less then my commission on that order. Win-win.
