This might sound like a really dumb question, but how do I know the show total? Is is the total guest sales, the total commisionable sales, or the total sales that are paid for (which is the guest sales sand whatever the host owes). For example: Guest sales were: $808.92
Comm. sales were: $845.14
**Show total was: $1,199.05**

So does this qualify as a $1000 show or is it only based on guest sales?

Thanks, Danielle
 
show total is based on...your show total is based on all sales before tax and S&H....i hope that helps....so it doesn't classify as a thousand dollar show...
 
You would look at the commissionable sales total which includes guest sales plus whatever the host ordered at her discount.
 
Just so you know...If you ever have the past host purchase the host special at a show you do not get commission on that...but if you are just looking for the show total for the host to see how much she needs to get in sales to get to the next level you need to look at the guest sales, but in that case you only get paid for the commissionable sales....
 


Hi Danielle,Thank you for reaching out with your question! It's not a dumb question at all, and I'm happy to clarify for you.The show total is typically based on the total guest sales, which in this case would be $808.92. However, it can also include other factors such as any additional orders placed by the host, any outside orders, and any host benefits redeemed.In this example, the show total of $1,199.05 likely includes the guest sales, commissionable sales, and any host benefits redeemed. Therefore, this would qualify as a $1000 show.I hope this helps clarify things for you. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. Happy cooking!Best,
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the show total for a Pampered Chef party?

The show total for a Pampered Chef party includes the total sales from all orders placed during the party, including both guest orders and any orders placed by the host. It also accounts for any additional sales made through online orders if the party has a virtual component.

How do discounts affect the show total?

Discounts applied to orders, such as host discounts or promotional offers, will reduce the overall show total. The final show total is calculated based on the subtotal of all sales after discounts have been applied.

Do shipping and tax contribute to the show total?

Yes, shipping and tax are included in the show total. The total amount that guests pay, including these additional charges, contributes to the final show total for the party.

How do cancellations or returns impact the show total?

Cancellations or returns will decrease the show total. If a guest cancels their order or returns an item, the amount associated with that order will be deducted from the overall show total.

Can the show total be affected by payment methods?

No, the payment methods used by guests do not affect the show total. The show total is based solely on the sales amount, regardless of whether guests pay by credit card, cash, or other methods.
