So i am in my super starter month 1 just finishing and have been reading this site religiously! I have been putting into action alot of your ideas, such as flyers at cafes and grocery stores, etc. However, this is how things have turned out.
I have 3 of my shows in, one from last month which counts for this month but not for the stones. Then i just had a show on the 23rd and it went really bad while i was there she had "15" confirmed yes, so i figured that 5 at the least would show up.
One of those people was my grandmother who so far has been to all my shows, and the other two were people i had not met. My Grammy wasent included in her total, so 2/15 showed. So i said okay no problem and went on with the show, one of the women was a past pc consultant and id say here is the "quick stir pitcher and it does this and this" and then she would say "and" for every other product that i had. Towards the end the show came to be one of my highest show because one of the women was buying pc for her work at an alzheimers place, where my aunt who had the show also did. So i figured that was it, my aunt felt bad and said that because the people from work that she invited didnt show that she would "fire them all". I also didnt get any bookings from the show, and am now kind of "peddling". I have to call my catalog lady and see when she wants to pick up her catalogs, and also a potential host, who i cant get ahold of because she is so busy. I just figured that she wouldnt get anymore orders. She called me on wednesday the next week and said that i could come and get the orders she had collected. So i figured maybe like $25 more, but it turned out to be $150 more! She said that she needed more time to collect orders because her midnight staff wanted to order, so i said sure friday works. So i call her friday and now she needs until monday, but now it is to late to submit for my ss1, i am really close to those knives and the 1,250 bonus. This lady is rocking in terms of her show so far, and apparently has 3 people who want to book, i am going to call them when i get all of the orders submitted.
Do you guys think that h.o. will bump back my ss1 month, i would REALLY appreciate it. I sent them an email but, i am kinda worried.

Even if they change your SS1, the knives bonus ended at midnight 9/30...sorry :(

Hope they do change your month though so you can get that bonus. Good luck!
