Yikes I need 20,700 points for level two!! I have 8 recruits to get qualified, now it's not a question of will the qualify.... THEY MUST!!!! (Just to be safe though I'm going to try to recruit a few more.... )

That's awesome Beth!
I"ve been telling my customers all year that I was planning on earning it, and to check on me to hold me accountable. I have some of them every once in awhile that ask; it's great! I have one gal that just did a catalog show & she asked if I've earned it yet....I said I'm on track. She said if I need her to do another catalog show around Xmas to let her know!

I response to the question as to if I get any negative responses/reactions when I share my dream: Nope.

I share the dream but I don't hound people to book or order. I just put the verbal "dream" out there.

I've actually found that a good % of folks are looking for an excuse to host a show and earn free stuff. Just having a show to earn free stuff sounds so "greedy" to some. But, by helping me achieve my "dream" and need for more bookings to achieve it, seems to get folks to say "ah, I'm not really doing this for me, I'm doing this for her...... Same way that booking a show so your friend (the current host) can get the host bonus option she wants. Women really like to help! It is our nurturing gene.

Oh...with my first cruise, I did tell folks that I'd send them that post card from the cruise if they hosted and I earned the trip....it gave a more "I really value you saying YES" feeling. I am going to start saying that again now. Glad we had this little e-discussion cause I just remembered that and I do think it made a bit of a difference last time.

I feel ya on the qualifying recruits part. I'm thinking of having them break their larger shows into smaller ones, and if need be i will pay the difference in host benefits, just to be sure they do qualify!

Amy, you would do better by helping them book more shows. I would hate for them to have to explain it to a host and getting a hassle about it. Everyone can stay happy and she can get more commission with more parties!! There is still plenty of time for them to qualify for this earning period. Be patient and GOOD LUCK!!

I know how you feel. Chef Kearns is right though... if they have a good experience and do the work to get there they will value their business more. They will follow your lead too and do whatever you do. Instead of spliting up a show have them ask people to do a small catty show. They will love their comission check!
