OH I WISH THEY DID! I have a host getting the cookware and with this and other half price items I would be so CLOSE it not all the way to the $K.

I wish we got something for them at least.
 
I agree... after all, the only reason they get the 1/2 price item is because the show is higher and that should be a reflection on our work - host coaching, fun show, etc. Even if we didn't earn commission on them, I wish even the 1/2 price amount would count toward sell-a-thons, incentives, etc. Which committee from HO would make this recommendation? We needs to get a Cheffer on it...
 
Jennifer I know what you mean I just posted the same thing the other day I hae sold 2 sets of cookware in June and my friend is doing a show in July for cookware so 3 sets of it within a months time. Someone even suggested it going towards incentive points which is better then nothing if you ask me.
 
What is the amount of her show? If it's more than a $700 show, I'd say put the cookware on the host purchasing (the discount is 30%) and take her 50% from her. You lose out on commission (well it balances out) but you get the higher sales figures.

It's a $400 show. But if it would put me to $3K I would be willing to do this. I will have to see how close I am.
 
Has anyone ever sold a full price set??? Not me! I so wish the half price counted!!! GRRRRR!
 
It is a bummer that we don't get something from it...incentive points would be good. However, all other direct sales companies...that I know of...makes the consultant pay for the half-priced item and they don't get commission on it either. So, we are better off in the long run. I have sold one cookware set at full price...the generation II set when it was being discontinued. Cookware is a lifetime investment...or at least an investment that lasts for many years...so, it is not often that people buy complete sets.

I have sold one. The host got it for full price under her husband's name and then got another set at half price for her mom.

I SOOOOOO agree! Although I'm always excited for the host--it kills me to "sell" those at half price and not get ANYTHING for it!
 
I know what you mean, I just sold the 5 piece set at 1/2 off, wish they'd count them towards pts at least if even at 1/2 the points!!!
