Happy birthday just a little late. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the PC$s are for December commissions held and submitted. November sales only count toward the products. Hope that isn't too much of a downer. :o

I think she might be referring to having done enough in sales or shows within her first 30 days of signing, so she talking about those PC$'s.
 
Due to some canceled shows and a failed fundraiser... I am only getting the product from two shows. Oh well... I did much better than in June and now I know to set goals and do whatever it takes.

Oh, good. I was so afraid she was getting all excited and would be disappointed.
 
I am looking at 4 catalog shows to close between now and the 30th. I will see what they do and how close to $3,000 I come with all of them. I have $1,580 now. If I am "off" too much, I move my Black Friday sales to December 1st and get a good jump on SAT for December. I can always put any stoneware sales on one of the 4 shows closing in November. Really I have sold very little stoneware outside of the DCBs to my 4 hosts plus the FREE one a lady won at one of my Shows playing the Dice Game! I'm just glad I am at 23% commission to make up for that!! LOL!
 
I am going to be at over $5,000 but I wont make $6K unless my black Friday sale really takes off. I am really happy, never thought I'd get this far, so I am excited :)
 
I'm at $3800 right now with 2 shows and 1 catalog show left to close. One was supposed to close last night but didn't.
 
I'm at $2200 with a two day booth this weekend and shows Saturday and Sunday!! I'm really pushing the hosts to close right after the show so I can get to $3000, but we'll see. I've got a Black Friday sale tomorrow, but I haven't had much success with them so I'm not counting on anything (and hopefuly I will be surprised!)
One show and another 2 day booth in December so I'm hoping for some of those PC dollars!!
 
I just hit $3041.... whoooo hoooo. This is the best I have ever done. Level 2 was my goal and I made it. Still have two shows and a fundraiser to close but all in all, very happy.

Plus, who would have thunk it, I just booked a show for Dec 13!!
 
I'm at $2,509. I've got two catalog shows out. One I'm not counting it, but my past host really wants the DCB for the special price. Who knows. Maybe I'll get an order for the DCB anyway b/c she really wants it for Christmas. My aunt has the other catalog show, so we'll see where she gets. I know that it will at least qualify but that doesn't help me for SAT. :) God will provide if I'm supposed to have it.

I have closed out everything but my back friday sale and I am at $5555.11 for November. Debating on submitting my Black Friday show as a December, but I am so close to $6K, I think I am going to submit for November and make up the difference by having DH buy a few X-mas presents on the black friday sales :)
 
I had 1 more catty but the host totally flaked. She said she really wanted the DCB and that is why she booked the show and I have been calling her and calling her and she is full of excuses and wont buy it at full price~ argh... people!!
 
I made it to $1500, so I'm happy. My Black Friday sale was not a big hit and no orders for stoneware so I'm probably going to submit it for December.
 
Just submitted my bridal shower for just under $800 commissionable sales. I'm at $4600 for the month. I have one show that is at $700 right now that was supposed to close on Wednesday and a catalog show. I should probably finish the month out at $5300ish. As long as I'm over $5300 I will have my highest month!
 
Way to go wadesgirl and everyone else :)
 
The SAT is based on commissionable sales, right? If that is the case, I will hit the $3K level, b/c my $1000K Mystery Host show was $1900 in guest sales, but all my hosts stocked up and the commissionable sales ended up being $2700 (holy cow!!) and I have another $614 show submitted. If it's based on guest sales, I'll only get to the $1500 level. Either way, I'm happy!!!
 
Lisa, it is based on commissionable sales. So, congratulations!Robin

Commissionable sales all the way! Way to go! That rocks for a mystery host show!

Commissionable sales held and submitted November 1 - 30. I know mine doesn't match the IPT because of an October show that closed in November.
 
$1490 to date but I have 2 shows to close by tomorrow and I just got a call from another host who reached $700! So I will definittely hit the $1500 mark!
 
I'm at $3200 and I"m done for the month!!
 
Almost all my shows bailed on me! (cry...) I am really close to 1500, but don't think I'll make it. I did have over 2 shows for the month.....(still crying though)

Yeah, I learned about that last year.......LOL!!!
I only had two shows this month, both were held and submitted this month. I had one cooking show and then my $1000K Mystery Host Show. That worked out very well for me, I will do it again every year. Thanks to CS and all of you creative geniuses for coming up with that great idea!!!

How close are you? Do you have any holiday shopping that you need to do? You can place orders in the giftee's name and push yourself up.
 
I didn't think I'd quite make $3K, and then a couple nice sized orders came in and a quick catalog show developed as well as a small cooking show....and now I'm at $3,671 and I've still got 2 other catalog shows out. I'm so happy!! :D
 
My SAT fizzled along with that show I drove 70 miles to. She still was not ready to close when I called her so we are closing as a December show. I would have needed $400 in sales from her to hit $1500.

I have nothing else on my calendar for December so we'll see if I get a second spring product.

$1076 is not a bad level, but I wish it had been more. Stinks to sell $1500 (albeit over two months and not three) and still get only one product. It better be good ...
