Successful Practice Show: Hostess Placed Order as Guest

[jrb0328]

Did my first show tonight! There were only 2 people there and my hostess, but it was a good practice show since I knew everyone. But in order to make it a show, the Hostess had to place an order as a guest. she didnt have 150$ in guest sales. can I list her as the host and a guest or should I be the guest?

No, she can be the host and a guest both.You cannot be a guest on your show unless you are doing a consultant-hosted show.Her order SHOULD be in her name for any warranty items.

If you haven't yet, log on to Consultant's Corner and in the upper right there is a link to Policies and Procedures. Read through that document and it will help teach you most of the dos and don't on many things.In there you will read about consultant-hosted shows and consultant ordering conditions too.In your case, a host often will place a guest order to make their show qualify or place a guest order when they have booked off their own show. That is not unusual.If you put you in as a guest order:
1. Not truthful if the order is for the guest.
2. Not truthful because HO doesn't have a way to "recognize" that name is yours and shouldn't be comissionable sales.
