Do you leave the note about how much they could have earned for their show on the bottom of the host thank you letter? It seems kind of strange to me. Do you think it helps in recruiting?
 
I think because it is already there - it doesnt hurt to keep it. I highlight it (as well as a few other important things in the Thank You letter)...
 
I leave it there. I figure more information is better than less. Many people don't realize how much money we make.
 
I will take it off a very small show, because to me it's almost a negative.
 
I highlight both the host benefits and the income possibility on the bottom of the host thank you letter.
 
I leave it there as well. However, I change the commission % to what I actually made (or at the percentage level I anticipate making for the month - less my director overide). The letter calculates it at 20% and I think it's more beneficial to let them know what realistically they can make should they persue it.
 
I always add you could of at least made XXXX (20% comm. level). I leave it off on small shows.
 
I leave it on there, and I even put it on the thank you note I attached to each of the receipts.

People NEED money these days, it points out how much I made with little effort. I want EVERYONE to know that.
 
I leave it on there as well - in fact, this was one of the reasons I joined PC when I saw how much my consultant made off my show. Told my mom - I could so do this! Never had thought of being a consultant prior to this. Couldn't hurt:)
 
Leave it on.
 
I take it off.
 
I leave it on.
 
I take it off.
 
I leave it, but I changed the wording to "A new consultant would have made . . . " That lets them know that the amount is just a starting point. I even leave it for small shows. I've had people assume that I didn't make anything at all if their show was small.
 
I leave it on.
