Navigating Double Bookings: Who Keeps Kit Credit?

[heather9892]

ok long story short.....a cluster mate double booked herself thinking a host would cancel
i didnt have a show and needed the money for conference so she offered it to me
she came did short demo then left, i finished off the demo and did the ordering and clean up etc
we agreed prior to the show we would split everything down the center, but at the moment the sales are only $226
the host is considering becoming a consultant
here is the question i need help with

if the hostess gets enough orders to take advantage of a kit credit does it follow her or stay with the consultant?
eg. if i submitt show under me and she signs under other consultant can she still use it?

hope this makes sense

That does seem like a weird situation to me! I'm just curious that if the other consultant overbooked and "gave" you the show, why was she there and how exactly are you going to split it? Are you going to give her a check for 1/2 the commission? I don't know how the kit credit would work, but I think that in the future I would tell someone who offered to "give" you a show, that it's just that, a gift/favor. And that it is now YOUR show, with bookings/leads etc. Maybe that's being selfish, but I think that is the only one way to not get into a sticky situation after the fact. Hopefully you could return the favor one day if something happens and you can't do a scheduled show.

I agree with Amy07

A host can sign w/ anyone - it doesn't have to be with the consultant that did the show.

But I agree - when someone gives away a show, it should be w/o strings.

My director gave me a show in June - turned into a $1500 show w/ 3 bookings - and she didn't expect anything from me for it.
HOWEVER - because she had worked w/ the host before, when the host asked me questions about the business, I referred her back to my director - I thought that was the right thing to do.

I agree with you on that Becky! But, if it had been a guest that was interested in the opportunity, then I think it would be a different story.

like i said long story
i just wanted to make sure that the kit credit would follow her if she did decide to sign up
as would all the bookings
thanks everyone

Did you find the answer to your question? Does the kit credit go with the consultant that submits the show or the consultant that the host picks?

The kit credit can be used with any consultant, regardless of who did the show...

I did a show for a member of my downline when she came down ill last second. I recruited the host for her and submitted the show with a kit credit. When it came time for the host to sign her contract, she used the kit credit but typed in my consultants # and everything went through just fine and I had a new future Director on my team!

I submitted the show because as a Director, I make a higher comission rate. I wrote my consultant a check for half the comission because after all, it was her lead, host coaching, etc. that got me there. Just felt like the right thing to do.
