how many of the HWC guest items that you sell (the ones that contribute $1) to ACS?

I'm thinking of trying to reach a goal with how many $1's I can raise.

One of my Aunt's is a 30 yr BC survivor and I'd like to raise a bunch of money.

Any thoughts would be great, I was also thinking I would try to call everyone on my list and see if they'd be willing to book a show, that would give me $3 raised, and maybe try for 35 shows raised? maybe get that to $105?

I was thinking $500 was a good goal.

Thanks for any input.
 
It's a good idea to keep track, because in the past HO has had special recognition (colored lanyards) at Conference for people who have raised at least $150 for HWC. You can keep track manually, or you can run the Top Sell List for May only, using the "Guest Specials" and "Host Specials" as the applicable categories, then adding any booking amounts and FR percentages.
 
You can also pull a report on thise items in P3

thanks, I guess my original thought was to see if anyone kept track and thought that 500 HWC pink items is feasible... but then again I realize it depends on the consultant and customers and all of that. I was pulled away in the middle of my thoughts.


thanks for the input, I'm going to shoot for 500 to start.. more if possible.
