Bless your heart!! We also really wanted baby#4!! But my children are now 13,9,3,and 14 months. I can't imagine them all so young at once! The best of luck to you!! I hope you June ROCKS!!

I want to weigh in and say that I think the sell-a-thon seems fair to me! I am excited about the possibility of earning some of the new products for free! I am going to set my sights on the 3000 mark. I believe it is really do-able because I have had a 3k month before. I don't know about 10k, but I don't feel discouraged at all! I know what will work for me and my family and I am psyched at the opportunity for ANY free products!

I remember when my recruiter got her stuff from December I was so jealous! LOL. Now I am going to earn some!

June, here we come!
 
I'm ready to book the heck out of June...my May calendar is really full and dh is looking at me like "how are we going to juggle 5 kids and all my shows?" but I figure overbooking in May will lead to more bookings and a more consistent business.

Since we're talking kids, mine are:
Ben:12.5
Bethany:7.5
Jack:3.5
Logan:3.5
Gabby:2

Wow Marg! We have a lot in common! No, I'm not pregnant this time but I have 3 kids and they are:
son, Dylan 11-7-00
son, Matthew 9-12-02
daughter, Lauren 7-6-04

Too funny! I get all the time, you have so many kids! My family would really flip if I were pregnant again! I would love to be but I'm good on my 3! Good Luck!

Also kcjodih , Thank You so much for posting the link! I am overbooking May with lots of shows so everyone will want to do a show in June! Keeping my fingers crossed! I have 8 cooking shows scheduled and 1 catalog show so hopefully that will drum up some business!! Go luck everyone!!!

Did everyone see the cluster challenge flyer? Hold and submit 2 shows in June and earn a free product valued at $70.00. It will not be available for sample purchase or during the June sell-a-thon. Be sure to encourage all of your cluster members to reach this goal. If the cluster does not meet the goal set by HO then nobody gets the free product. I have never had 1500.00 in sales...my average is about 500.00. Last month I hit 1025.00 But, 2 shows is realistic for me...they have to be 250.00 shows. I too wish we could purchase the products as individual samples and not have to buy a package. With this special product that makes the new products worth over 900.00. PC is really working hard to get new products. I just hope it is not a lot of the same products in new colors. I hope there are some holiday products...pie/cake plates, or Christmas plates or platters. I think a large turkey platter would be great. Good luck to all of you on reaching your goals. PC is wonderful because we can all work as little or as much as we want and still stay active and enjoy the great products.

Great birthdates, did you plan that? And your first child has the same birthday as mine. I don't see that much. Smiles.

Congratulations! We want to have 6 kids, our 1st is 6 months old now.

I know I was off the topic.

Great ideas on bookings! Thank you! One more idea, if any catalog shows, ask the hostess to bring 2 bookings, I'll give $15 extra towards credit (just change it to cooking show). I'll have to require that the show sales is $300 or more.

Thank you!

God bless!

You are one day older than me! Never met anyone exactly the same age (minus one day) as me!
 
Well ladies, that makes me the same age as you too except that I have a July date. Get ready...this years a big one!! :eek: :eek: Now we will officially be "adults"!!
 
I like the incentives! I also like that there is a really high one to challenge the top-sellers!

I am kind of excited about it. I had my oldest young (19 yrs) and I have always been "older" than my peers and all of my friends are in their late to mid 30's so I feel like I can actually hang with the "cool kids" now!

But, I will say that since I didn't do anything for my 21st I will be partying it up for an entire weekend!!!
