Is there an average number of shows that you all book each month? I know that there's an average of amount of sales per show ($470), but my director seems to think that I'm getting a LOT of shows booked (have 3 set for Sept and 4 for Oct, just got my consultant number this morning and got 1 recruit signed up this afternoon...a friend who was at my show...hoping to get my kit tomorrow or Wednesday). Is that a lot?
 
You're doing well, Jennifer. I wouldn't say that you're booking so much that it should be a shock. LOL In fact, to make your super starter months, you'll want to have 6 shows on the books, to allow for cancellations/reschedules or poor attendence.

Congrats on your first recruit and KEEP GOING!!!!!

(BTW... last week my director had 14 shows booked for Sept! FOURTEEN!!!!!! That's a lot!!!!! lol)
 
I have never heard of a national average, but I would be on cloud 9 if you were my new consultant. You are off to an awesome start, remeber to overbook what you want to do because there are always cancelations. Keep up the great work, I am so glad that I read this you made my night!:)
I have hope again!
 
Book as many as you can hold on your calander! I had 8 in my first SS month and 5 in my SS2 and got all the bonuses those months to show for it!!


good luck!
 
A few months ago the highese sales in my cluster (over 1500 people) did 28 shows in one month - I guess about 1/3-1/2 were catalog shows. THAT is a LOT of shows!!!

Very excited!!!:D

I'm up to 7 shows between my SS1 and 2 months and my recruit is planning her own show. I told myself that I would take a break today (not feeling well) but just couldn't help myself. LOL

HO says that my kit should arrive tomorrow and then I'm going to attend a show that our exec is doing on Thursday (spoke to her on the phone, AWESOME lady). I'm totally psyched!! Hubby took a few of his invites to work today and handed them all out (most said that they'd either come themselves or would pass the invite on to a family member who really loves PC).

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Jen that is awesome! Don't lose the momentum...it's catching!

Just to give you an example, I have 4 this month (my SS1), 4 in Sept, 2 in Oct (1 is catalog) and 1 in Nov already! And a potential recruit!

All I can say is take what you can get b/c you never know what will happen down the road....

I'd say she is just impressed that you have all this on the books even before you get your kit! Not everyone is that motivated! Keep it up:D
When I first started, I only did around 2 shows per month, but now I'm doing around 6--it's just whatever YOU'RE comfortable doing:)

I can't remember what her sales were right now (Im at the office) but they were out of this world to... NICE PAYCHECK!
