GOALS for the 2nd 1/2 of 2008

Thought if we put it in writing you could all help keep us to it!!!! ;)

Bummer...we didn't make it to $3000 for the sell-a-thon. We made it to $2300 and have a $200 show to close out still. :cry:

But we looked at our number this year compared to last year:
June 2007 - 2 small shows (both family) $392.90 in sales
June 2008 - 5 shows (NO FAMILY) $2299.95 in closed & submitted sales (1 more to submit)

2007 YTD Jan - Jun $982.90 in sales
2008 YTD Jan - Jun $7014.22 in sales

Amazing what you can do when you even put a little effort into the business. Now we need to kick it up a notch in the 2nd half of the year since that is when we changed our attitude last year & decided to not be the types of consultants that submitted their required every 2 months.

2007 Jul - Dec $9793.37 in sales 2008 Jul - Dec GOAL $15,000 in sales
2007 Total Sales = $10,776.27 2008 Total Sales GOAL = $22,000.00
2007 = 27 Total Shows 2008 Total Shows Goal = 50

The only thing we still don't have is recruits. Here's hoping for the rest of the year.

Have a great 4th!!!!!!!! Here's to a GRATE rest of 2008 for all of us!!!!!!!:sing:
 
Great Idea Joe but make sure with your goal of $22k, you have 23k points b/c then you earn Level 1 in the trip!
 
Okay for:

Jan-Jun 2007 my sales were $14,848.62 29 shows
Jan-Jun 2008 my sales are $13,901.68 27 shows

Not too bad of a difference with the economy pinch. I did 54 shows total last year so now my goal this year is to hit 70 shows.

Cool thread, we haven't done this type before. Makes me set a new goal for myself so THANK YOU!

Wow, more than half of my sales for this year were in May and June. I know I didn't have a great start to this year (did over $1000 each month) but I kicked butt the last two months. I'm hoping to keep it going. I have 5 shows in July (around conference and another vacation) and two already for August.

As I look at my numbers, they don't seem to jive, or even seem remotely possible to achieve, but a girl can dream! :rolleyes: I had a few months of totally being uncaring about my business (after Mom passed away), but I'm back in the game now and realize that I MUST work SUPER hard to meet my goals. I want to earn the trip to Aruba (at least for myself) AND I want to become Director.

Thank you for starting this thread. I've been putting off writing my goals down (for this reason....because it's scary to see the numbers!! :eek:), but it must be done, and now they must be achieved!

Good luck everyone in making your dreams a reality! :love: :D
 
I just started in March, so I don't have a history to compare (and, my first 4 months aren't crow worthy). Here are my goals:

Jul 1 - Dec 31 2008 = 30 shows / $15,000 commissionable sales
4 recruits

Hmmm, I better get moving!!

Thanks, I'm going to need that support!! I had 3 shows lined up during 'that' week of July. One of the hosts will not return my calls to confirm the date, and another one just sent me an e-mail to cancel indefinitely (she didn't give details, but said she had some problems and doesn't have a place to hold the show, so I can't really blame her). That means I have to replace those two shows :cry:, plus book another two :(, and I'm on vacation out of state week after next (which is why I'm not going to NC). This means I have to start talking to complete strangers, and I'm sooo not the extroverted type! :yuck:

God is in control, and He did not give me a spirit of fear. God is in control, and He did not give me a spirit of fear. Breathe.:angel:

Great thread!

Here are my numbers for the first half of the year:

Jan - June 2007: $13,124.25 (24 shows)

Jan - June 2008: $10,945.03 (18 shows + working a FT job)

Last year for the 2nd half of the year:

July - Dec 2007: $13,225.73 (19 shows)

July - Dec 2008 GOAL: $10,000 (approx. 15 - 18 shows)

That's weird that I had almost identical sales for the first and second halves of 2007, even though I went back to work FT in Sept., 07!! I guess I can do $10,000 more this year! (I only need $5000 more to make Level 1, and have 2 recruits, so I'll definitely get that - Wahoo - Bose iPod speakers, here I come!)
