magentablue said:Me too, I have a show closing on the 30th, and I can't decide if I'd rather have the paycheck a little bigger for this month, or the 30th anniversary surprise. When will we find out what it is? I am hoping it's not when we get it in the mail!!!
IT'S A GIFT! We should all be working our businesses EVERY week.
As far as your party on the 30th. If it's a September show it won't count for the incentive anyway. It has to be an October show held and submitted Oct 1-15.

Totally agree, they don't have to give us any of the extra benefits they do! When I first started 4 years ago, there wasn't incentives almost every month like there is now. The key thing would be to try to get 2 shows before the 15th every month just in case you want to earn what they are offering. If they don't end up offering anything well guess what, you were green before the 15th and get a paycheck on the 23rd.

I agree with the incentive. Although it isn't always something I am overjoyed to get, it is free, and the paycheck is what I am really working for.

Becca_in_MD said:Anyone remember the Thanksgiving turkey we got 5 years ago? I think that went out to all active consultants. I have a little 1.5" x 1.5" square porcelain PC shipping box, probably from the 25th anniversary. Some things can be good, others can be given to my kids
That was a director gift one Christmas.

I use post it notes to mark my open dates. But I only mark the first two weeks of each month. This helps alot with getting people to book when I want them to. The weekly calendar has helped even more!cookingwithdawn said:

When I leave from their show, we set a date to close. I tell them I close my shows within 1-2 days of their show and find the date that works best for both of us!

cookingwithdawn said:I soooo have a problem getting people to book early in the month?? I don't understand why...I have often told people it helps me if they book before the 15th and then they look at me and pick the 15th?? Which does not help![/QUOTE]
Don't make it about YOU- make it about them. Tell them that in your experience you've found that shows hosted BEFORE the 15th of each month do better b/c people tend be more "strapped" for money at the end of the month whereas in the beginning of the month the purse strings aren't so tight...

Give them an incentive for closing on time. I'm doing a show on Thursday (9/30) and when I called the host today I told her that I would love to close the show THAT night and I know that sometimes it's hard but if she closes it that night I will give her a small gift. And I plan on ordering her a RUFTH Trivet... I'll just add it to her order and then use her discount. And it will count towards my RUFTH goal for the year.

I have a VERY SMALL show (2 orders and the rest replacing my own cash and carry.) Nobody is ordering the specials. I was leaning toward dating it for September even though it will be Friday or later because I need knives more than I need cookware. Per Jean Jonas (she has suggested dating late month shows for the next month) I might date it 10/1.
I just wish they'd give us a little more notice on these things. Real helpful to tell us to book October when it's almost October!

I start flipping those pages and people stop me quickly because it makes it feel like they are booking further out then they are. A few times I had people realize the closeness and they'll say, "But that's just 2 weeks away. Isn't that kind of short notice for my guests?" Then I tell them that it's actually perfect because people wait to the last minute to decide if they can attend DS parties anyway. (there's more I say, but that's another thread)#2 I tell them, "How about we pencil in a date towards the beginning of the month. Then if that date doesn't work, we'll still have plenty of time left in the month and can find another suitable date."
