If you put in to pay for part of an order from a show with PC dollars... do you still get commission towards that? Would it still count towards SAT? I think I am going to be dollars short of the 1500 mark.
 
You can only use PC $ on personal orders, which are not commissionable sales. You can have part of the an order as consultant gift... which means they will just deduct it from your bank account. That would be commissionable. Good for you for staying on top of your sales. It's sad when people miss goals by a few $
 
I'm not sureI understand the whole consultant gift thing. How is that used & when?

I also was wondering about PC$'s. Can it be used with our consultant discount?
 
Consultant gift is an option in the payments section of orders. Say you tell your host that if she collects 25 orders, you will "give" her a quick stir pitcher. (I tell my hosts this) then you put it on the host order, using the discount they have earned, and then as the payment you would choose consultant gift. I do this AFTER she has paid for her portion (I don't even add the quick stir till I am done giving her the total and putting in her payment) then the "extra" amount owed would be what I would be paying for. Putting it in as consultant gift helps you keep track for tax purposes so you can deduct it.

Your PC$ can be used for ANY order that you are placing with PC. Personal orders, (you would order products at 20 or 22% discount) supply orders, or sample orders.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are PC Dollars and how can they be used to maximize commission on show orders?

PC Dollars are rewards earned through sales and can be used to purchase products at a discount. By strategically using PC Dollars on show orders, you can reduce your out-of-pocket expenses while still earning commission on the full retail value of the products purchased. This allows you to maximize your profit margins on each show.

Regularly reviewing your SAT can help you identify opportunities for growth and maximize your earnings.

This can encourage more orders and increase your commission.

Are there any strategies for using PC Dollars and SAT together to boost my commissions?

Yes, combining PC Dollars and SAT strategies can be very effective.
