I have a host who has been slow to respond to me and was holding a catalog show for February. Is it too late to close her party for February (it's now March 14) and still get the benefits offered for February for her and her ordering guests? What do I do if I can get this to qualify as a Feb. show?
 
You have until the end of the month to submit February shows. As long as the date of the show is February your host and guest get the February specials. But your sales will be for March because it is submitted in March. Home Office counts the show date for the host/guest and the submission date for the consultant. When you get ready to submit your show it will ask you "for what month you are submitting" and you will put March. If you put February you show sales will not show up in your March Pampered Partner reports. Just make sure your show date is Feb. I hope I haven't confused you.

Thanks Shawnna,

February was my 3rd SS month, so does that mean that I'll still qualify if this puts me over my $1250 for the month, or not? That's where I'm concerned I guess. I appreciate you explaining the rest.
 
Your sales will count in March, so if you didn't submit 1250 by Feb. 28 you missed your Super Starter. Your sales count from what is submitted the first of each month to the last day of the month. Did you hold any shows over in January and submit them in Feb? If you did those sales will count toward your Feb. goal.
 
something to think aboutyou need to make sure that no one ordered the recipe binder(they are sold out) and just remember that some things are back ordered...
