Hold and submit $3000 in comms sales and receive a greater selection of new spring products

Hold and submit $6000 in comms sales and receive the greatest selection of new spring products.
:D
Do you think they'll have the packages already picked out or we'll get to choose what we want under a certain amount? Hmm.....
 
That's a good point Kristi! I thought it looked different, but hadn't thought of that!
 
that would be kinda cool...and give HO a real indication of what will end up selling the most (since most of us are hard-core junkies ourselves!)

I agree. I can't wait for more information on it!! Like the director's package and all!!:D
 
I think it's just another way of wording you get it FREE I think it will be pre determined like in the past.
 
The packages are and will be determined by HO - just think of the chaos if everyone made up their own and besides the pricing has to be right.

Directors get the $6000 level (that does not include the 2 show bonus item).
 
What's different, is they didn't put a dollar value on the levels. So we have no idea whether Level 1 is worth $25 or $125.
 
I have one November catalog show booked, have one cooking show but may be giving it away to a recruit...hmm...I need to get booking November soon!
 
I have 2 November catalog shows booked and possibly one cooking show.
 
Where on CC did you find this info? I can't find it!
 
It's in the sales promotion column of the promotions table (where the monthly specials and OOFs are).
 
Yea! I'm so excited that Sell-a-thon is November again! I already have 5 cooking shows dated, with a few others who need to set a date & that's not calling past hosts yet. I was a little worried about November since I'm taking October off to have my baby--but it's looking good so far!
 
I really want to fill my calendar for November. I really want to earn some of the sell-a-thon this time.

This is all I have in the the promotions column. Am I looking in the wrong place?
 
Oops- it's online for Directors already. It'll probably be posted for everyone else on the first.
Sorry.

I agree with Beth ~ the packages are pre-packed. It would be a distribution center nightmare if they did a "choose your own" ~ doubtful...but nothing's wrong with wishing!
 
If anything, maybe they have 2 or 3 choices of pre-selected packages that can be picked from at the different levels!
 
Oh! I am excited about that. My end of the year is looking up and I can't wait to share with my contacts! Thanks for the update!
 
Do you think they just haven't decided on the packages yet, so they didn't list the prices?
Or do you think they don't want us shocked at the dollar amount of new stuff coming out! I know in June I was thinking "What on Earth could be coming out that is worth SO MUCH MONEY!" - turned out it was the cookware, ...
Maybe they aren't coming out with as much stuff this time?

Maybe.....but other than the 8" saute pan, none of the SS was including in the packages......that said, I have wondered if it is alot less this time around too. Psychologically, (and financially!) most people won't work as hard for $200 in free product as they will for $600! It's just too easy to say "Oh well, if I don't make it, I can get it all for $100.......
 
Oh Wow!! Youre right, no SS in the packages! I earned the $3000 level, and the 8'' pan...
We just came out with a LOT of things!

I think you're probably right, Becky. I know that I've noticed that phenomenon with other consultants. They decide to just spend the money rather than make an effort.

And - it's still early. Maybe pricing decisions are still being hammered out. Or, more likely, what exactly will be in each package.

I agree with what you are saying Ann but it doesn't make sense to me personally. I love FREE stuff so I would rather have other people spend the money for me to earn it than for me to have to spend the money myself. I guess we are all different.

Absolutely! There are some gals I know, though, who love free stuff, but want it completely free with no effort. Um... ever hear the adage, "No such thing as a free lunch?" Plus, they fail to take into account that putting forth the effort will not only net them free products, but also a higher commission check. Cha-ching!

When I wrote that, I was thinking of my recruit who turned in a show in Aug in order to qualify for ordering the products at 1/2 off. It's enough for her to be able to order what she wants at a 50% discount.......she doesn't make an effort to earn anything for free.:rolleyes: BUT if there was something she wanted that was out of her price range - she may work harder to earn it.


ME - I am all about the carrots - and my goal is to always earn as much as I can for free - also because of that commission!
