My show tonight was canceled this morning because of the host's son being really sick with the flu.....I was disappointed, but all day long she has been emailing me orders. She talked to me quite a while this morning about what the best sellers were with the new products, etc...., and what the new theme shows were, and host bonuses coming up...and then she started making her cancellation calls. I offered to help her, but she said she was fine doing the calls.

She just called to close her show - at $561! AND 2 Bookings! How awesome is that? What an incredible host.

Now - before you all start telling me to recruit her - I've been trying to recruit her for almost 3 years! She has a show every 6 months, and this one is the lowest show she's ever had. The one she had in Oct. was $1100. She always tells me she doesn't want to sell, she just wants to buy! She has been a huge supporter of my business from the time we first met. I'm just thrilled that this show will still count during the conference incentive period!
 
WHOHOO!!!! That is an awesome show for not doing a demo! I'd give her a special "thank you" for all the work she did!You're ALMOST to the free conference Becky - WHOHOO!

It's all in HIS timing...
 
Great (well, better than $0 sales with a cancelled show...)

Good luck with the FREE registration!

 
That is awesome, Becky! I love to hear about those motivated hosts. I will be lucky to submit $500 for the whole promotional period, nevermind one show.

That is the whole deal. God has a plan - always.
 
That's so awesome Becky!! Congrats!!

way to go!
 
wow - what a great host! i know you have worked on her for 3 years....i wonder what the deep reason is that she won't jump on the wagon and earn real $$ not just host rewards?
 
Way to go Becky! You are on a roll.

She doesn't need to work - and she doesn't want to. She actually is a "consultant" for beauticontrol, and CM - but both of those are just for the discount, and she lets all of her friends buy from her using her discount. I imagine that if PC was set up so that people could work it that way, she would become a PC consultant too.
 
Not bad...not bad at all
 
That's great Becky! Gotta love those great supporters:)
