All I have to say is I am glad its the end of the month. No more stressing out. Since Sat I have closed 7 shows 6 of them today. I made it to 5k didnt make the 6k level but I am so happy about the 3k level.
 
Congrats on a great month, Jennie!!!
 
Just finally finished up my last show for the month and made the 3K mark by $5.84!!! Talk about tracking!!!!!! :D
 
I just finished. I missed the 3K by 301 dollars. I had 3 catalog shows flake on me today. They would have put me over but it wasn't to be. I'll just trust God for a much bigger month in July and enjoy the free things I get! I was gone 10 days on our mission trip so I missed out on alot of time but it will all be okay.
 
Great job, too, Andrea. I'm right there with you. I made the $3000 by $7.00. I had to really check the IPT as I had a bunch of May shows in there (I closed the month at over $6000, but unfortunately not all SAT.)
 
Wow, Jennie! I don't think anyone in our cluster is going to beat you anymore. I closed out the month at $1600 and was happy with that. My biggest month this year!
 
I'm at $1,509.21!!! YAY! I DID IT!! :D Considering I was $250 away on Saturday, had a catty show flake yesterday & still pulled it off! Thank you, God!

PS - As of Friday, I didn't even think I'd make the 2 shows submitted level!
 
12 minutes to spare I submitted my last show!

I think I wound up at around $1800. I am SOOO glad that's over! But I'm going to enjoy that commission bump! And that made 8 shows submitted, so another $50 in PC dollars for me!!!!

Since I never get to go to the cluster meetings I like seeing my name as #1 weird I know. One of my shows I closed out today was 1100 in sales.
Way to go on 1600. By the way how was Alaska??

You know with all of us submitting shows today, shipping may slow down a little!

Congratulations!
 
I got to close some of my catty shows lastnight. So I ended up at $4,008 in sales for SAT. I have 2 catty shows that still need to close though. Guess they will just help July for me.

Good job everyone!
