I am in SS2 and I just finished up my last show for Sept... ALL of them were in this last week... and I have $1.56 over the $1250 needed in my reserve banked money so I am doing the happy dance!!!!!!! I had been praying that I would just reach the goal for month 2 and get the mandoline and now I am blessed to get to choose a Plus Bonus... I am SO excited! I'm having a hard time choosing! Thank you SO much... each of you... who post your fabulous ideas here and share so willingly. You are a tremendous help to us as new consultants and I know that things you wrote and posted made a difference for me! I also have several new bookings! I must admit some major nervousness at having all three of my cooking shows during this last week and 2 catalog shows both closing too... no other sales all month except some outside orders I had from talking to people ... anyway.. PRAISE THE LORD! Can you tell I'm a bit excited???? On top of the free stuff... I get a paycheck to boot! I LOVE THIS BUSINESS!!!!!
 
Way to go!!!One tip to keep your nerves in check is to only book the first two weeks of the month first. Once you have those two weeks booked like you want, then open up the next week or two. That way you won't have a bottom loaded calendar and get an ulcer!!!

Thanks! That is wonderful advise... I had to reschedule one show to the last week and I found it hard in Sept to book anything early with school beginning... but I'll be sure to keep this advise in mind in the coming months.. that is a great tip! Thank you!
 
great job! I wasn't able to I really try :( maybe next time.
 
Congratulations! It's so great to exceed your goals. I've had those months as well where everything seems to stack up at the end of the month and you feel like you're scrambling to meet your month-end goals. If you find this is a trend you can also try using the dollar days calendar where they get an item for the price of the day they hold their show. This way the earlier they hold it in the month the cheaper the price. Search the threads for more info. on this.
