Unexpected Success: A Catalog Show Hostess's Last-Minute Booking Surprise

[ChefBeckyD]

I had a catalog show hostess - she booked in May for a June show, which she then changed to July, and then August, and the September.......so I really wasn't even counting it as a show in my books. I thought of it as "the show that never was....".
I just got home from our Couples Small Group, to a message on my answering machine.(I should add here that I have never been able to get her to return a call or even answer her phone.)

She is ready to close her show! She says it's a "pretty large show" and that she also has a booking for me! She wants to close it today! I just tried to call her back - but she is gone right now(her daughter answered the phone), and so I will call her a little later.......here's hoping I can close it today yet!

Congrats! Gotta love those "surprises"!

I have 3 September hosts (one cooking and 2 catalog) that have not and will not have payment to me by today (one hasn't even given me her orders yet ) so I can't count them for this commission check. - good thing is that I am starting next month with over $1000 in sales! AND as soon as the points show up I can claim the rest of my Stainless Cookware!

Becky - I hope it is truly a large show!

That is awesome. I hope it is a large show too.

Update:Well, it was over $500 for her....counting the past host ordering the 7 piece executive set.....which means $380 in commissionable sales for me. BUT - the past host ordered the 7 piece, and the host ordered both the 7 & 5 piece sets!
So - a great surprise from a show that I didn't think would happen!

Oh - and a November booking!:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

That's great news, Becky! Isn't it fun?

It's even more fun walking through it with you! It's great to have someone close in my "cluster" (sort of! ) to spur me on and trade ideas and products D ) with! Helps keep me accountable and on my toes!

Makes me have a little hope still for my 2 MIA August catalog hosts....maybe they'll turn in orders yet...
