Celebrating Payday: My Successful January and Upcoming Catalog Shows!

[janetupnorth]

Just had to be happy about it! I only did 1 show in January and still got a decent check - at least a day's wages at my regular job! Got to love it! ...and I have 2 catalog shows closing on 2/13. A cooking show on 2/28 and probably one more catalog show the 2nd half of the month...not bad for an INSANELY busy month in my personal life!

 

[wadesgirl]

I'll get an okay paycheck today. But they will take out conference club from it so it'll be a little lower. Now I have to close both of my open shows before the next cut off so I can get paid again.

That's what's so awesome about this job.....we fit it in, when it fits for us!

(gotta go check my commissions now...)

 

[pampchefrhondab]

I'm doing the happy dance - my check was over $650! Boy did I need it after the holidays!

Forgot to mention that was only for 3 shows! I wish they were all that big!

Yeah, I had a HORRIBLE January on a personal level so it was so nice to not have to worry about pulling out of my third month of relinquishment in February when the heat would be on.

 

[wadesgirl]

Way to go everyone! I'm hoping for a lot better in February, January went downhill a little. My 2nd lowest month ever and I was still over $1000!

In commission?!?!

 

[wadesgirl]

In commission?!?!

Sorry, no, in sales. But I did have a $1000 paycheck last April and a $1300 paycheck last September. It is possible!

 

[DebbieJ]

I have $1000 commission checks on a regular basis. It's all about consistency.

I agree! I would love more $1000 paychecks. Hopefully by changing my business in March I can get more.

 

[ltkacz]

I'm doing the happy dance becauseMy paycheck was $850!! WHOO HOO HOO!!

 

[ChefJoyJ]

My goal is $800-$1000 every month...that would be incredible! Right now, w/ just 2 shows, my monthly commission was just over $400...so, I'm hoping once I build my business more and get more shows (I have 4 + a catty in Feb), it will be possible. I figure, triple my show #'s and I should at least double my commission from this month. :love:

Wadesgirl - my was b/c you said it was your second lowest month. I figured...second lowest month, still got a payday of over $1000 - I want to know her secret!

Joy, that's great for two shows! Especially since you haven't received your 2% increase yet!

I am happy to say that this is the best January I have ever had and loving my paycheck!!! A little over $2000!!! :sing: :sing:

I know, I didn't even think about that.

My $1300 paycheck was only 6 shows. Two of the shows were over $1100 but I felt really proud about that month. I don't remember how many shows I did to get my first $1000 paycheck but I've never done more than 4 shows in a month normally. It is very doable.

My commission is not showing up on CC. Is everyone else's there or are you just checking with your bank?

 

[DebbieJ]

Just checking my bank.

 

[PamperedTammy]

Hey Ellen--My commission is not showing up either, but I know that it is in the bank because I checked with my bank this morning.

My $27 posted! whoo hoo!! lol I basically took the month of January off. I desperately needed a break. My sales averaged $5000 for October, November & December. It went down to $450 in January...and I was fine with that. February is heating up! I have 7 cooking shows and 6 catalog shows left in the month. Already turned in one cat. show. Now I just have to hope the S/S season starts off strong. Keep up the good work everyone!
