OK, here is my issue with the July & August Specials and the Past Host Booking Benefit.
JULY small print:
The past host from whom the July Show was booked...is eligible to receive their choice of ONE item at 60% off. They may select from the same options available to the current host, based upon guest sales of the current host’s Show.
AUGUST small print:
The past host from whom the August Show was booked...is eligible to receive their choice of ONE item at 60% off. They may select from the same options available to the current host, based upon guest sales of the current host’s Show.
Many of my past hosts attend the current host's show. They are almost NEVER my last order. So how the heck am I supposed to tell them what they can choose if I don't know what the show total is??
And, I do not push to close the show that night. If I feel the host is serious about getting more orders, I let her. I just had a $400 show go to $600 with allowing the host 2 extra days to get orders. Even if I closed the same night, there is still no way to know the show total unless you make the past host wait until the very last order is in. PLUS, you never know if the host might add a couple extra items to get to the next level.
For some reason I feel this is just going to be a hassle.
Here's what I see happening:
1. Can't get the past host's complete order at the show since we will need to wait to see what the current host's final show level is.
2. Once I get all orders and show total for current host I can normally close at this point, but I won't be able to close the show because:
3. I will now need to get in touch with the past host to let her know what level she can choose from.
4. Hopefully we don't play phone tag.
5. I will also need to wait for past host's payment if she doesn't want to give me a credit card.
This will be a load of fun if we are near the end of the month and trying to make an incentive. Or even near the 15th and trying to close for the previous month.
Vent over (I think)
