MTD Sales Logistics: How & When Do They Count?

[Pampered Angel]

Can someone explain the logisitics to me of how our month to date sales are calculated - just so I don't confuse my intentions? If I have a show on October 30, but don't close until November 6th - do those sales count for October or for November??

November - sales are counted for the month they are submitted in.

Thank you! I just wanted to be sure that I wasn't counting on my sales for November from a show that was hosted in October. Thanks for clarifying for me! I'm sure it's in the paperwork somewhere, but you guys are always so helpful here

However if it was for most consultant promotions (such as sell a thon) it will say HELD and SUBMITTED in, in which case it would count for your MTD but not for sell a thon. Those shows would have to be DATED and HELD November 1 - 30.

I used to have consultants always ask why their paychecks were different than they expected or they didn't receive and incentive and I explained it like this 'host and guest special is the same as the month the show was held - oct special for oct dated show, regardless of when submitted'. Consultant gets paid based on when it was submitted not dated, with shows the 1 - 15th paid on the 25th and shows 16th to end of the month paid on the 9th.

Okay I hope this makes sense and I'm not rambling. At 4 am, it all makes sense

Hi there! I'd be happy to explain the logistics of how our month to date sales are calculated. Our month to date sales include all sales made within the current month, regardless of when the show was held or closed. So in your example, the sales from your show on October 30th would count towards your October month to date sales. I hope that clarifies things for you! Let me know if you have any other questions. Happy selling!
