Understanding Commissionable Sales: A Guide to Hostess' Product Discounts

[pchefpatti13]

Ok, I have a question. I know that the Hostess' free products are not part of commissionable sales. But are the half price items and discounted items?

I know half priced products and free products do not count towards commissionable sales, but I think that regular product does...as far as just having her % discount

Commission payments

We do not make commission on 1/2 priced items or monthly Host specials. But, yes on anything discounted. PP will calculate this for you. In the top right corner of a show screen you will see two figures. One is guest commissionable sales & the other is total commissionable sales. (including the host's order). The second is what you make commission on.

Here's another helpful tip...if you have PP, go under the Print tab. Generate reports...Monthly Sales Diary...choose the month you want to look at. I look at submitted shows at the end of the month. This will show you, all your submitted shows, how many buying guests, sales for that show, sales, totals, and it shows your commissionable sales as well! It is a very helpful tool. I refer to it daily to boost my spirits & to keep myself working on my bookings for each month!

Thanks for the awesome quick replies. I see where it is supposed to say commisionable sales in the right top corner. But it doesn't have any number up there. What is up with that?

Are you looking at a show?

Are you in one of your shows & looking at the top right hand corner of the screen? For every customer order entered, this figure should increase in amount. (your commisionable sales).

Under your person profile (when you set up PP) your commssion rate should be entered as 20% and fundraiser at 15%. Make sure this is done before you enter shows to reflect your commission made off of shows.

Does this make sense?
