Commissionable sales for me, too.
 
Me three...or four...I can't count...too much sugar going through me from Aloha
Pizza
 
commissionable sales also, but I had the same question when I started on Chef Success!
 
Well, any way you look at it - 0 is 0! Nada, nothing, null, etc.

But, looking forward to changing that next week!!!!
 
At least it isn't negative!
 
Can you HAVE a negative show? KG?

If you enter your expenses into PPP creatively - but that might raise a couple of flags at the IRS.

Would that be a caution flag, an American flag or those little flags I can apply to my messages in Outlook?
 
A big RED one that says, "AUDIT ME!"

Would it be funny if you walked into a cubicle farm at the IRS and saw those flying everywhere????? :rolleyes:

Ok, better head to bed - getting whippy on bad jokes...
 
This may be a dumb question, but what are commissionable sales? LOL I'm sure all the info will be in my kit but I'm just wondering now.
 
Those would be the sales at a show you actually get paid for. You don't get paid for host benefits, guest specials and certain other discounted sales.
 
That's nice to hear, it increases the Best Show for me. I had been thinking it was Guest Sales. Commissionable makes more sense.
 
commissionable sales for me too...
 
Commission baby!!!!Commissionable sales!
And hopefully this year my goal is to raise that to a much higher amount! We shall see!
I had a great host too. She really worked hard and is a good friend. So I was grateful and thankful. I was able to sit in the special seat at my cluster meeting and feel special that day. Plus I got some goodies!!!

Debbie :D
 
:D Commissionable sales!!!:D :D :D That show was from my mystery host show in NOvember 2006!!! I had 43 people show up to my home!!!:D
 
I went for commissionable sales, too.

It's not a dumb question at all! Commissionable sales are what you are eligible to earn a commission on. You can't earn a commission on the hostess' free products and/or half price/specials. I'm not quite so sure myself, but I'm sure someone here will correct me!

It's been 5 years since I sold, so it's all still blurry to me too.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "Total Sales" mean in the context of a Pampered Chef show?

Total Sales refers to the overall revenue generated during a Pampered Chef show, including the sales from all products sold, any additional items purchased by guests, and any promotions or discounts applied. It gives a comprehensive view of the financial success of the event.

How are product totals different from total sales?

Product totals specifically refer to the revenue generated solely from the sale of products, excluding any additional sales such as host rewards or discounts. Total sales encompass the entire financial outcome of the show, making it a broader metric.

Which metric is more important for evaluating a Pampered Chef show?

The importance of total sales versus product totals can vary depending on your goals. Total sales provide a complete picture of the show's success, including host benefits, while product totals can help you assess the effectiveness of product presentations and guest engagement.

How can I increase my total sales at a Pampered Chef show?

To increase total sales, focus on engaging your guests with product demonstrations, offering exclusive promotions, and encouraging bookings for future shows. Additionally, creating a welcoming atmosphere and building relationships can lead to higher sales conversions.

Should I prioritize total sales or product totals when planning my show?

While both metrics are important, prioritizing total sales can help you maximize the overall success of your show. However, paying attention to product totals can also provide insights into which products resonate most with your audience, allowing you to tailor future presentations accordingly.
