With NC right smack dab in the middle of the month, I'm thinking of doing a Mega Show for July, which would be extremely helpful if it is a SAT month. I'll make up my mind in the next week whether I'll be doing that or not.
 
I didn't see the party stick offer. It is better than January, just not as great as I was hoping it would be.
Maybe August will be spectacular:D
 
Honestly? I was not excited about host specials for April, MAy, or June. But I can work with this one. Esp with the pinch bowls FREE fr guests. For my group of friends, that will entice them to add on $10-$15 more to their orders.
 
Just an observational comment...no hate mail please! LOL

Host Specials are a BONUS, just that. You ought to be booking shows because they want a FUN, FAST, SIMPLE PARTY (I stopped calling them shows many years ago...PARTIES are more FUN!) to learn how to get in and out of the kitchen fast so they can spend more time with their families at the dinner table while getting PC products for FREEEEEE!!!

If you booking parties base on the Host Specials...you may be missing out on some bookings!

Focus on FUN AND FREE!

Thanks Ginny!

I have 3 shows in July already without even knowing the host special - my hosts for July are going to LOVE this extra bonus when I share it with them!

I know that there was much negativity about this in January, but I decided I was going to host coach like crazy, and stress the extra free product. I had 8 shows, and $5000 in sales for January(and 10,000 incentive points!). Every show except one went over the $500 mark - and it has been my best month so far this year. I really believe it's all in your attitude and how you present it. Go into it believing in your hosts, and their ability to have a $500 show, and you will get $500 shows. If you believe that no one can achieve that, then your attitude, tone of voice, and body language will convey that to your hosts, and no one wins. We CAN DO THIS!

EXACTLY my point Becky! Becky "DECIDED." Good for you and good for all of you who are going to take Becky's WISE words of advice. She's ABSOLUTELY RIGHT...we can ALL DO THIS!!!
 
Okay, folks.... June Sell-A-Thon... shows must be held and submitted by June 30th.... not the normal July 5th!!!! Get your June booked!!! Levels are two shows, $1500, $3000 and $6000.

AND, if you book a "strong" June and July they are going to share more ways for us to receive rewards!
