: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.
YOU, of all people, Deb...YOU can do this. You are a CN Covergirl - YOU are AMAZING!!!

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.
