Hi everyone,

I'm so excited - I had to share. As of yesterday with an online order from a wedding registry I have, I hit my $15,000 in career sales. I'm psyched for that paycheck raise in December (now I just need some shows in that month:). I've been doing PC 14 months now and had 3 bad months in the bunch (virtually non-existent sales in those months) so I'm glad to be heading in the right direction. I have an open house with a Tastefully Simple Rep next Saturday which hopefully will get me to level 1.

Yay you! Congratulations. :) Enjoy your extra 2%. You know that's a 10% raise you just gave yourself?
 
How is it 10%?I should have gotten my 2% in October - hit $15,000 in September. However, it wasn't on my commission statement. I also had to let them know I hit it because an $800 show wasn't figuring into my career sales from back in June! So, I sent of an email...hoping to get the extra 2% soon!
 
Congratulations! It nice to get that extra in your paycheck!
I hit mine my 4th month, my director gives our cluster a colored apron when we hit the $15k mark!
 
Great Job!!!!Contrats! on the raise.
 
Wahoo! Congrats! I can't wait, I'm about 1/2 way there. If I make it there by one year in, I'm happy but I wouldn't mind making it sooner either :D

It's a 10% increase in commission than you would usually get. (10% of 20 is 2%)
 
Congrats!!! :D
 
Ahhhh....makes sense!
 
Congrats.. I'm not that far behind and hope to be there soon. Enjoy it!!
 
Congrats! YOu will love the raise! IT didn't sound like alot to me at first but it does make a difference!
 
I'm working towards that right now too! I think I'm about $600 away!!! I have been doing this since Sept 05, but had to take Jan, Feb & Mar 06 off for some silly reason. Oh yeah, I had a baby! :) Guess that's a good enough reason.

Congrats to you!!!
 
Yay, Gina!! That's so exciting! Even if you don't see a huge difference in December because not having many shows, what a GREAT way to start off the new year!:D Way to go!!
 
Congrats Gina, way to go! I am so close to $15,000 but I am afraid that I may have to go inactive before I reach it. I have 0 shows booked for Dec-March and not even any prospects. I am running out of friends and family to hit up. I guess I need to get my "will work for bookings" sign out and stand on the corner.

If you earn the raise in October then it won't take effect until November's commission checks. I earned my in June and it didn't appear on my check until the July 22nd mid month check.
