After closing out my shows last night, I ended up with still needing about 1500 points for the cruise! And I'm not sure that either recruit is going to qualify this month:cry: So DH & I were talking about it last night, & he says to offer everyone 10% off. What a good guy.....I just sent out an email, & I'm going to get on the phone in a bit.
We got about 8-10 inches of snow last night; so people should be home to answer their phones!
Wish me luck, all!
 
Good luck!!!!
 
Good luck!! Maybe you'll get some people who needed to go Christmas shopping & can't now because of the snow so they'll buy the gifts with you now!
 
Go Lacy - Go Lacy!

Thanks girls! Keep your fingers crossed for me! I know I have till the end of the month, but it'd sure be nice to earn it before Xmas:thumbup:
 
Good Luck Lacy! I'm rooting for you!
 
Go Lacy - you can do it! Make sure to let everyone know how close you are and what your goal is. People really want to help...

And I know it would make it easier if your recruits qualify - but if they do it in January then it gives you 4,000 points for the trip next year!! Not too shabby.

Hang in there - we are all rooting for you!
 
GO LACY!!!!!!!!!!!

when I was trying to earn Disney a few years ago, I called and emailed eveyone...I am sure I even got people that I was never supposed to email...but I asked for them to pass the email along to family and friends. I told them that if their friend or family member included their name in there response to an order then they both got 10% off! I was very clear about my goal for the trip and told them no order was too small! I got calls and orders from all over the country! and i made it!

DO NOT STOP UNTIL IT IS DONE! you will do it!!!!
 
Good Luck Lacy! Let us know how it turns out.
 
Best of luck!!!

Wow, Meg. What a motivating thing to share! Go for it Lacy...with 10% off, your 'guests' can get 20% off the Dec specials....and your past hosts can stock up with them for last minute gifts at 30% off! CHEERING YOU ON!

leggy
 
Keep us posted please !!
 
What do your recruits have to do to qualify? It might cost less to place a show under their name - helps them succeed and gives you those extra points. Just a thought.
 
Lacy! You CAN do it! I've rounded up several hundred dollars in the past week! Keep calling and emailing, and ask/beg them to forward your email to EVERYONE on their contact list! maybe we'll be on the same boat ;)
 
Oh Lacy--How exciting for you that you're SO CLOSE! Good luck! I've got my fingers and toes crossed for you. Don't forget to call your kids' teachers. My co-workers are my best customers!

You guys are awesome cheerleaders!:)
Yesterday from sending my email, & calling for an hour, I received $555 in sales! I've got 2 people to contact that said they 'may' do a book party during Xmas break. I"m sure I can convince them to do it by the end of the month!

One needs to do 3 more shows; the other needs all 4 this month.
I had your thought, but that's not really "legal" to do. My one recruit is really trying; she signed up when we can get the 2 spring products free. But, I'm still working on my sales; I don't want to depend on her!

Just checked your show count. I submitted show 261 this week. Now, with this phone/email sale, you have truly inspired me!

Thanks again girls....I wasn't able to make anymore calls this weekend....Sat nite I had to work at my parents' cafe, then yesterday I FINALLY got to do some Xmas shopping, & last evening my daughters had a dance recital.
I did get 2 more orders though!
I'm contacting 2 people today that said they may do a book party over Xmas; so I'm going to convince them to close by month-end!
Kristi; I will be picking the Soveirgn!
 
If your goal is to make the cruise, I'd offer 20%!!!! Or free shipping. You're still making something off the sale, and it looks like a better offer. (Personally, I never pay attention when I get a coupon worth 10% off). Just a thought!

You go girl!!
 
Go Lacy!! You can do it!! I know you will. Look what your efforts got you the other day. Keep it up!! I assume you're telling everyone your goal, right? Let them know what your working towards! THey WILL want go help.

Keep up the great work!!!

(Oh and don't put a show under a recruits name....it's against the rules and you wouldn't want to be audited and busted after all your hard work!!)
 
Hang in there Lacy - you are getting closer!

I officially made it last week when my recruit qualified and it didn't show up with all the points in my incentive tracker until this morning. You will be so happy to see it change color!!!

Keep us all posted - we are rooting for you!

Congrats Val!
Yeah Becky, the thought would be tempting to "help" out my recruits; but I have too much of a conscience---I'm not a rule-breaker!
Yes, everyone I know, knows my goal. I'm just getting ready to do some more calls...;)
 
Go for it!!! Good luck!!!!:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
 
Good luck!
 
You could offer a free trifle bowl to anyone that collects $150 in sales. You buying the host gift would cost you no more than eating 10% of a show, but it seems like a greater reward to the host. If you could get 2 or 3 doing that between now and the end of the year, it would be worth it.
