:money:...and that doesn't even include any online orders you get, any bookings you add to your calender between now and then - you CAN do it!!
The first year I earned TPC...I had been on the Nav Cruise with all these achievers in April. I was so coveting the ring many of them were wearing (I don't even LIKE the ring - it's just the status that it carries that I was envious of...) The last day of the cruise I was sitting in the pool chatting with a Director from California - I wish I could remember her name becaus eshe REALLY inspired me. At that time, it was late April, like the 29th or something and I was just about $10k away. She said "If you really want it - get it. PULL OUT ALL THE STOPS."
She told me to get on the phone (<gasp! I hate the phone>) and to call every host, guest, past customer and tell them of my goal - ASK THEM FOR HELP. People like to help people. I offered everyone something like 15-20% off their purchase AND a free SBRC with their order. I pulled it off AT midnight ON May 31st. On June 1st my AD and I were shceduled to have lunch with our NED who was in from Texas (Carol Radu). At that point, the TPC calculator had NOT been updated (so as far as my AD knew, I hadn't made it) but I called HO the minute they opened and spoke to 3 different people in 3 different departments to make absolutely positively SURE I had made it (I was over by like $400). Then I walked into the restaurant where AD and NED were sitting waiting for me and they both had this look of pity. Obviously they'd been talking about how to address with me my disappointment ni missing the goal (THEY didn't know yet that I had made it). So I sat down and burst out with the news - we all started crying tears of joy :cry: - it was such a moment!

You can probably go back to May of 06 in the CS archives and read my posts.

That's awesome, CArolyn!!! What great inspiration!
Debbie ~ YOU CAN SOOOO DO IT!!!
I know you can. I was in about the same situation last year and I pulled it off!! I told EVERYONE my goal and asked those close to me who hadn't had a show lately to host a show in May. I even put it in my email newsletter and had a few takers. Definitely broadcast it and ask for help. I think it's great that May is the last month in the TPC earning period because this can be a HUGE month for us just because of HWC alone. I typicall do stuff like give away a small exec saute pan to every host who has a $1000 show and I also have a prize for the host with the highest show total. Maybe do prizes from any extra products you have for the host with the highest # of guests or the host whose show sells the most HWC products. I always save HWC products from the previous year for raffles AT the show too. THe hosts always get excited about this and spread the word to their invited guests to try to get attendance up. I also bring an already-prepared pink dessert to all my May shows.
After doing all these extras (which I usually do for HWC anyway) and throwing in some subtle "begging" to round up more bookings, I ended up with a $10,000 month last May!!! My highest ever. And I made TPC in sales and even went over by $2500 or so. So I KNOW you can do it! Good luck and keep us posted!!!

Deb, I am pulling for you --and I am in the same boat! I missed it last year (my first year) by $3000.
I am only $12,754 away. I have one HUGE Fundraiser, 16 cooking shows and 4 catalog shows on the calendar so far. Most are in April (I am double booked for every Saturday), only 4 are in May, so I have plenty of dates left in May to book.
Can I possibly really do this????
I WILL DO THIS!!
Come on, Deb, let's do it together!!

Hey Ladies, may I join you?
I am currently down by $9736, with only 9 shows on the books before 31 May....and none between now and April 15th! Still, I am not willing to throw in the towel!
The double move was harder than I anticipated (and I didn't plan well for it). My Feb sales were just $297....but Mar is already over $3800. I simply have to believe TPC in sales could still happen.

OK, where is everyone? I am down to needing $11,687. I have lots on my schedule....oh, please don't let me miss it again!!
I had a $7200 March....
One good thing, a new recruit who already has 4 shows on the calendar will be helping me to earn free conference (needed that...the washer went out last week after I registered!)
How's everyone else doing????

Awesome month Janice! We aren't going to let you miss it this year!
As for me, I need $8832. I managed to do $4600 this month (after $296 last month). April is looking a little weak: two cooking shows, a couple catalog shows, and a possible fundraiser....but May has 7 bookings so far.
The extra catalog shows are what are helping me right now. Try asking everyone who isn't doing a cooking show if they'd like to earn that salad spinner for $20 with only about 5 orders. Some catalog shows will go higher, but even 6 shows of only $166 each is an extra 1K in sales.
We're cheering you on Janice!

I need a little over $30,000 to make it. However, I do have a pretty good May coming up. I'm shooting for 31 shows in 31 days (have a Mega show as well as a Mother's Day Vendor Fair/HWC Fundraiser) and selling 2000 Pink products. Just that many Pink products would be at least $10K in sales. I could make it, but I'm not stressing about it.

Okay ladies...an updateI have two INCREDIBLE catalog shows going. One is at $863 in online orders! I know she has a couple orders on paper too. We are closing tomorrow. The other host told me this week she has $700 in orders so far. (And yes, I've talked about the biz to both of them.)I had a show tonight that was $1036 and I know she has more orders to come. Of course we aren't closing until I get back from the cruise, so I'm expecting at least $1200 on that one. So I'm $2700 closer! That leaves me with roughly $9000 to go. I have 3 more cooking and 2 more catalog shows in April and 7 cooking and 1 catalog show in May. Oh, ladies, I am going to DO this! Plan to watch me walk!!!

WOW!! The catalog show closed at $951.67 commissionable. I'm actually still hoping for a little bit more. It was all online orders and several people were very close to the $60 mark, so I called (and had to leave messages) to let them know. The past host also didn't order the host special (wish there was a way for folks to do that online) so I need to hear back from her as well. So it may go up. But even still, this is AMAZING. I am TOTALLY going to do this you guys. I have less than $10,000 to go after these couple shows are turned in, and I have 10 cooking shows on the calendar. So I'm going to make them count. I have a few catalog shows to fill in the gaps and of course I want to book more shows. My only fear is I'll focus so hard on May that I'll have nothing in June. So far June is EMPTY.

As soon as I hit submit, you know I will! I'm waiting on a couple calls back to hopefully push that show up just a tiny bit. I figure it makes no difference if I submit it tonight or tomorrow, the warehouse still gets it on Monday. And I'm here in Chicago so one day doesn't make a whole lot of difference in terms of delivery. Just not counting my chickens before they hatch.

Ok, down to $8531 to go....I have 11 Cooking shows left in April and May, and 3 catalog shows going AND a HUGE FUNDRAISER event (got me over $4100 in sales last year!).
Oh my, can it be?? I am not "counting my eggs", but am still hopeful! Thanks for letting me jump on your TPC wagon, Deb!
Hubby is on board "You'll do it, what are you worried about"...hmmm....so cute!

Woohoo Kate. 31 shows in 31 days...I say go for it!!!
Deb, Janice: You two are rockin! Love those high sales!
I'm still at $8800 to go. DH and I just got back from London, so need to make some phone calls. I had three catalog shows running while we were gone and have a show tomorrow night. Seeing your posts has me so motivated!

Still at $8800 here. I have a 1K show closing tomorrow, a $400 catalog show going in tonight, and a $600+ show going in next week. Two catalog shows are floating around, though one is possibly drowing and the other appears waterlogged .
I don't have anything else until May 2nd...but that weekend is going to be crazy: a show Friday night, a fair Saturday morning, a show Saturday afternoon, closing a Fundraiser Sunday at noon, and a show Sunday afternoon. I didn't really plan it that way, but no one can say I shy away from a challenge.:bugeye:

<h2>1. What ingredients should I look for in a blemish concealer?</h2><p>When searching for a good blemish concealer, look for ingredients like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, which are known for their acne-fighting properties. These ingredients can help treat and prevent breakouts while providing coverage.</p><h2>2. How do I know which shade of concealer to choose?</h2><p>It's important to choose a concealer that matches your skin tone as closely as possible. If you're unsure, try testing the concealer on your jawline or inner wrist to see if it blends seamlessly into your skin.</p><h2>3. Can I use a blemish concealer on top of acne medication?</h2><p>Yes, you can use a blemish concealer on top of acne medication. However, it's important to let the medication fully absorb into your skin before applying the concealer to avoid any flaking or irritation.</p><h2>4. Are there any non-medicated blemish concealers available?</h2><p>Yes, there are non-medicated blemish concealers available. Look for concealers that contain natural ingredients like tea tree oil or witch hazel, which can also help with acne-prone skin.</p><h2>5. How can I prevent the concealer from flaking on my skin?</h2><p>To prevent flaking, make sure to properly moisturize your skin before applying the concealer. You can also try using a hydrating primer or setting spray to keep the concealer in place. Additionally, avoid using too much product and gently blend it onto the blemish instead of rubbing it in vigorously.</p>
