Just an FYI, the new flyers for the Host Specials state that the Show MUST me submitted by the 15th of the following month in order to receive the Host Special.

eg: Sept shows held Sept 1-30 must be submitted by Oct 15th in order to receive the Host Special.

No more holding shows for months waiting for them to close.....YEAH!!
 
This is the best thing! I havent had a host hold out like this yet but glad it shouldnt now.
 
I was told by Carol Radu that this policy has always been there but now they are finally enforcing it!
 
The previous policy (and it was in the printed policies when I started) was that we had until the end of the following month. I like the 15th better, because it creates more of a sense of urgency and will help with month-end back ups in order processing and the warehouse.
 
Is this policy starting immediately? Of does it start in September when the new products are available?
 
It's listed on the specials flyers for September and October, so it doesn't go into effect until those specials.
 
I am telling hosts that this policy is effective now. Well, I am not telling them they have until the 15th, but for the ones that are dragging their feet I will.
 
That's a good idea to start telling them now.
 
Love it!! No more host dragging their feet =!
 
I love this too. I have NEVER told a host that they have until the month after.
 
Nice to see it in print! That helps us enforce to hosts.
 
I think that is great for the PROCRASTINATION NATION we have. I am part of that bunch too. "I'm not only the club's president, but I'm also a client!"
 
I just read this on the other thread about this same subject, and I think it's good. Will make hosts hustle to close their shows.
