Yeah! I was like $30 away for the past 2 weeks! I just submitted a catalog show today so it is MINE! Somehow, all my shows for Apr were scheduled from the 2nd week on.
 
When do we get them? I actually submitted all mine by midnight March 26 to be eligible.

ETA- maybe I was a little off- I submitted just over $1500 on the 26th, but $183 was from before that, so maybe this show I just did put me over the edge- should have, I submitted a $500 order.

Was the $1500 in commissionable sales?

I sure hope so, Jennifer!!!!! Let us know when you get back.
 
I am now waiting till Thurs for my host to close his show. I asked him if it was ok to close by the 19th and he said yes his show will definitly help me get them. He is definitly gun ho about getting extra orders and I did tell him why I wanted the show closed by the 19th and he was totally fine. I have to add that he would be a great recruit he had 2 people come (was expecting 12) and he kept talking about all the products that he loved and both people there ended up spending over $120.00. His only problem is that he is running for offce here and in his campain he is saying he will never own a business while being on the city counsel.
 
I am $180 dollars away! I am getting on the phone tonight!
 
As long as I can get this FUNdraiser finalized by Friday I will get the mid-season!!! (I'm waiting on a payment right now, and in the meantime, still adding orders that trickle in. I won't wait past Friday. I'll remove the order from the show if I don't get payment for it)

The FUNdraiser is all I have for the month! I'm trying to gather a couple catalog shows, but it's not looking promising. It's time for a booking blitz call-night!!! I think I might take my names and numbers with me next week when I'm gone on business and make some calls in the evenings. Try to get some shows on the calendar for May & June....... ESPECIALLY JUNE! ;)
 
Just submitted my show from last week, and I will be getting the products. I can't wait. It's been a while since I've earned any freebies. It's exciting.

Guess what was on my porch when I got home?????? Well, besides the bench, a few plants and a trash bag...

It was like Christmas - I LOVE the stainless bowl - it is HUGE! ...and yes, I had fun spinning the salad spinner....
 
My Spinner is broken = (
 
I have also earned the mid-season products, but I don't understand how to look it up to find out when they will arrive. I can got to product adjustment and I see them there, but I don't see any FedEx shipping tracking #.

Thanks for any help!
Dana
 
I emailed HQ about mine and they said they were sorry for the delay and told me when mine was due to arrive- the 21st. So I'm assuming they put it in the mail right away. It doesn't show on my shipment orders, so the only way to know might be by contacting HQ to make sure they remember it. I used the solution email addy.
 
My host from Saturday came over to close her show today...when I left the show, it was at $275. Today, she came over with an outside order of $125 and then spent an additional $200! So now I'm at $1350! Woohoo!

(My MIL was gonna spend $150 to get me there, but now she doesn't have to...)
 
I earned the mid-season products but I have not received them yet. I now have a customer who wants to return the microplane grater for a refund. How does this effect my commissionable sales? I just had the $1500 in commissionable sales (the required amount in Cda for the mid-season products) Will I lose out on the mid-season goodies now?:( I really wanted that salad/berry spinner.

NOPE!! You don't loose any commission, nor do you have to return the products you earned thanks to any sales that are returned...
yet another plus to being a PC consultant!

Thanks for the info. Can't wait to get those mid-season products.:D
 
I may or may not make it... I am closing out a show tonight. I hate waiting until the last minute like this, but its ok. Its great that they offer the incentive!
 
getting nervous...... UGH!

Well, I still have several hours before I have to submit the show! I have a friend who is adding one more order onto the fundraiser, so I'm just waiting to hear from her. I'll submit as soon as I hear from her, then I'll total up the checks for the organization and let the treasurer know how much to write a check to me for.

I just hate last-minute stuff!!!!! lol
 
I got my stuff today! I had my show's stuff show up today too, so instead of 3 boxes, I got 4. Yeah!! The berry spinner is bigger than I expected, as is the stainless bowl- it's huge! Which is good, because I did need a huge bowl.
 
I submitted my show to put me over with 2 hours to spare... lol. It was some outside orders who I kept playing phone tag with. She had her husband hop on his motorcycle and drop them off before I came home after work tonight... phew! So happy!!!
 
I called the HO today and they said mine will be delivered tomorrow and I can't wait!!
 
I just checked and mine have been shipped! I will probably get them on Tuesday!

I got mine today! Submitted my last show to qualify on Thursday - but since I live about 1/2 hour from HO - it came fast- everything is great - the salad cookbook is awesome!
 
So bummed I missed deadline by 12 hours!!!
