So, I sent a message to a host that is always concerned about her guests specials more so than her own. I told her about the Trifle bowl special and she booked a catalog show. Her last show was $1300! Most of that was outside orders :-) So, one more show... YEA!!!!!!!!!!!

Half way there in sales. I have 10 more shows to hold/collect... gonna make it! Now it isn't even about the ring, the title or the money. Now it is just about hitting that sales goal. I know a lot of ppl do $8000 months all the time, just not me. I'm so pumped that I'm going to make this happen!!!
 
Anyone else have the points calc. disappear from cc? I now show a spa incentive tracker for upper level dir. Guess they think I'm going to promote really quick :)

I'm obsessed with checking my points as they update. Still crossing my fingers I'll earn Ex. Award but have had a couple clx so looking less likely at this point.

Congratulations!!! That is awesome!
 
Congratulations!!! I have $3,100 to go! I was at peace with not making it until my soon to be director/team leader told me I shouldn't give up. I offered her the $100 I'll get at conference if she gets me to make it. I must speak her language because I sent out an email last night offering the best bet in town! Win, Place or Show! Collect or buy $150 and you'll get a free trifle bowl. (SHOW!) Collect $300 or buy any 5 piece Cookware set get a FREE DCB and $40 of Free products!(PLACE!) Collect $400 or buy any 7 Piece set of cookware and get FREE DCB, half priced item of your choice and $60 of free product!(WIN!) Collect $500 or more and get FREE Trifle Bowl & FREE DCB, half priced item, & $90 of free products!!

Every $100 adds more free products.

The race starts at 6:00PM Wednesday and ends at noon on Friday! The only way to lose is to not play the game!

So far I have one person wanting me to call...I'm working...Starting this week i'm working 2 8 hour days instead of 3 5.5hour days...I need my sanity:)

Host last night stood me up :( She felt bad when I called her to see where she was. I wanted to tell her she should feel bad. It wasn't due to lack of communication on my part and she had just rescheduled the show from a date 2 wks prior. Geez!
