If you reach $1500, then you get those products, but not the "submit two" item, unless you submitted 2 shows (cooking, catalog, fundraiser)

So does that mean I can't have one show with $1500 sales to earn the free product. I have to have two shows and reach level 1 before I get anything? I'm confused.
If you just have one show you won't get the product for 2 shows but you will get the products in the first sales level.

They put them together because most people who have $1500 in sales have done at least 2 shows.
 
I just submitted a 1400.00 show and I was at 2800+ before it, so I have earned level 3! Yipeeee!!!!:D :balloon:
I have sold over 5000.00 this month but 1000.00 of that is left over from October!
 
I hate coming down to the wire!

I know I have until the 5th to submit Nov. shows and have it count, but I really wanted to have my highest month ever.
On the books right now, I have $6700 in sales. Submitted is just a little over $5000. I also have one catalog show that the host has told me has a ton of orders - but I don't have any of them yet. One host who was going to "call me right back" yesterday, never called & another one asked for another day........
I have today and tomorrow to get these shows closed.....ARGGHHH!
 
Do you all tell your hosts that you have to have the show closed by the 30th? That's what I do because I do need it closed by then. I have one show that will put me at the $3000 level so she knows she has to close by tomorrow. I have another show (catalog) that I don't need closed, so I may see if she would rather make it a December show. It will help me with the December incentive.
 
I have a show on Friday the 30th and I told her right away that we had to close that night and I put in on the invitations as well. I did this back in Feb. too when I had a show the last day of the month. I wanted it all in that month and I want it all in Nov. this time. There is nothing wrong with doing that and it gets your month finished. Sometimes you cannot avoid carrying shows over and that's totallly okay as well!
 
I've actually told them all that they need to close by yesterday! I was using the statistic about how 75% of shows are turned in the last 2 days of the month, and they could speed their shipping by a week or more by closing by yesterday.
 
Smart girl!
 
I'm sure it will work out for you, Becky. You're so close, and you do still have until tomorrow. They will just have to wait a little longer for their order. Your commission check will be good sized so we can go shopping!

I will be busy most of today working my church job - so hopefully can fit in some more closings sometime today and tomorrow!
 
I am so stoked right now. My highest month ever, right now I am at ....................... $7200. One of my shows sent me an email to close this afternoon w/ 7 more orders and she is already at $1067. I am doing the happy dance if it could only happen every month I would be extatic. I am only bummed because I didn't get anyone to sign this month.The best part is I think another consutant and I are going to beet the AD (whom we don't get along w/) in highest sales.
 
I have 7 shows to close by tomorrow! AGHHHHH!

Once I do, my sales will be just over $5000! That's my highest month ever! I'm bummed I didn't get $6K, but SOOO excited to beat my "high score."

I know I beat my Director's sales this month too.
 
Arrrgggghhhh!!!I am at $5985!!!

Well actually, I am at $6419, but $434 is from October.......

I have closed 2 shows this evening - a Catalog show at $709, and a Cooking Show at $648. Now, I am just $15 away from the $6000 level.

2 Cooking Shows, and a Catalog Show still to close - if I can just get one of them to close by tomorrow evening, I'll make it!
IF I don't, then tomorrow evening I'll be making some sales calls of my own!

I WILL make that Level 4 - I'm too close not to now!
 
Becky, you have until Dec. 5th to submit...

I know - I just really wanted to do it all in Nov - because I also wanted to meet a personal goal of highest month ever.:)
 
Gotcha - just wasn't sure if you knew that based on your above post. Great job on an awesome month!
 
Becky,

If none of your hosts come through do some Holiday shopping - or early birthday shopping for someone (you need a gift for SOMEONE in the next few months!). Put the order in the giftee's name so it counts. You'll have to pay direct shipping but it will be so worth it! Besides a $15 order is only $6 shipping anyway! Good luck!

You can bet I'll do whatever it takes!:) I know it sounds silly - but I just really wanted to turn in enough shows for November to make this happen. I am so excited about where my business is, and I want to be able to look at this as a milestone of accomplishment!
This month I have held 3 Catalog Shows, 3 Fundraisers (one an open house, and the other 2 Cooking Shows) and 9 Cooking Shows. I had 2 catalog shows cancel, and only ONE cooking show cancel/reschedule - and that was because of a family emergency. I am THRILLED with what I have accomplished this month! Also - I don't know that I will make $4000 for next month - so if I turn those shows in this month - I will actually make more per show for them!;)ETA - oh, and I finally have enough POR points to get the last thing on my list! I just ordered my Double Burner Skillet!

I made level three. I'll need a miracle to get to level four. Can't wait to see all those spring goodies.

Got one recuit waiting for her to qualify and I might sign another tommorrow!
Yippee!
 
I am $160 away from Level 2 with one catalog show left to close. The host supposedly sent out an email to everyone giving them my website, but so far no sales. We had prearranged to talk tomorrow, so I will find out more then. I hope she at least makes a show!

Ditto here! I told the host she needs to close by month's end -tomorrow by midnight and she said she would? If she does, I'll have a $3200 month! (unfortunately $2400 will be from Nov shows) so I will miss level 3! :(
 
I have one last show tomorrow and only need a little under $300 to make the $3000 level - yippee!! She has 9 people coming and several outside orders. I'm giving the host a couple of extra days but will close out by December
3rd - so I won't get the extra commission in November but it will help out along with a catalog show in December to hopefully bring that commission up. And then I've got nothing until January!
