I became a consultant in April. April, May, and June were GREAT. July was ok I fear that I may not qualify for August. I have some people that want to place orders and I did let them know I need the orders by 8/28 to avoid discontinuation of the products they want. Any ideas on what to do??

Have a fall kick off
 
Re: Help!!!!!Give yourself a mini booking blitz- take an hour or two, or even half an hour- whatever time you can spare- for a night or two over the next week and call as many people as you can, tell them how fabulous our fall products are and how you would really love to show them and their friends some budget friendly recipes for fall.I also agree that hosting a fall kickoff is a good idea.
