SUMMARY

The discussion clarifies that commissionable sales for a show include only the amount the hostess pays after applying a 20% discount. Commission does not apply to half-price items or monthly special items purchased by the hostess.

This information is crucial for new sellers to understand their commission structure effectively.

I am entering my first show soon - was wondering if the products the hostess buys @ her 20% off count toward your commissionable sales? Still learning!!!
 
Yes. You will get commission off of what she actually paid (after the discount). You do not get commission on her half price or monthly special items. You also don't get commission off of any monthly host specials from past hosts either, although they will count toward the guest sales for the host benefits. Hope that helps!
