I just checked my IPT and I am at $11815 in total sales I have $1939 that I just submitted that haven't shown up yet... So.. I'm $1246 away...I was really hoping to reach my $15,000 by the end of the year. I still have 2 catalog shows out and the second half of a booth today (so far it's been a dud). Oh man, oh man, do I want it! I am so hoping ... :balloon: Sigh -- if not December... Definitely January! If I reach my career sales mid month does the 2% raise take effect immediately? I think I heard it begins at the start of the following month... Thanks! :)
 
Good luck and yes the 2% raise takes effect the next month - but it is a great perk! You will enjoy it very much - great job on your sales!
 
I'm pretty much in the same boat. If I hadn't had some Nov. shows cancel and turn into catty shows I'd have been there too! But it WILL happen for us sooner than later!

I know how you're feeling right now. It would be so nice to get my 2% raise before January because I have 6 shows scheduled and they all plan to have at least $500 shows. I have one show to turn in in the next couple of days. At this point when I turn it in I'll be only $200 away from $15,000. I have one show that has slipped away because the host has been having health issues, and I was so hoping it would put me over the edge. I don't think it's going to happen, but you just never know. I suppose the show I'm turning in could still get $200 more in sales. We'll see. What a great Christmas present that would be.
 
Hi there! Congratulations on reaching $11,815 in total sales, that's amazing! It sounds like you're so close to reaching your goal of $15,000 by the end of the year. Don't worry, with your two catalog shows and second half of a booth, I have no doubt you'll reach it. Keep up the great work!In regards to the 2% raise, it typically takes effect at the start of the following month. So if you reach your career sales mid-month, the raise will take effect at the beginning of the next month. Keep pushing towards your goal, you've got this! Best of luck to you. :)
