When Are Commissionable Sales Recognized: Booking or Closing Month?

[krwebster]

If I booked a catalog show in August, but the show doesn't close until 9/10, are the commissionable sales applied to September or do they "magically" go back to August? I know I'll actually get paid my commission in September, but I'm wondering about achieving the $200 sales requirement to stay active. Is commissionable sales based on the month the party books or the month it closes?

ALSO ~ As long as the show closes by 9/15, the host/guest specials are available as well as the $4.00 shipping charges, right??

Thanks for everyones help, AGAIN!

Commissionable sales apply to the month in which they're submitted. If the show doesn't close until 9/10, they'll be part of your September commission. I'm fairly certain that means it will apply to September for the sales requirement.Someone will correct me if I'm wrong--for which I'm endlessly grateful.

Thanks for the info. That's what I thought but I always second guess myself.

I noticed you are from Denver, IN. My grandmother used to live there about 30 years ago. If I remember, Denver is one small town with a covered bridge. My father is from LaFontaine, which I think isn't far from Denver? Right? My family lives in the Fort Wayne area, but I'm know further north around South Bend. Small world!!

The easiest way to remember it is this, anything a consultant is working toward, pay check, consultant specials, staying active or not, is usually current month by mid-night of the last day of each month. (Held and submitted is the wording the Home Office has been using.)
Everything for your host's specials and guest's specials is based on submission of the party by mid-night on the 15th for the previous month. So if you had no sales in July or August and were needing that $200 in sales stay active, it had to be in by Mid-night on the 31st of August.

Kris, it's Roann that has the covered bridge. Denver doesn't even have a 4-way stop. LOL!The Furry Guy and I lived in LaFontaine for a few years. It's about 45 minutes from Denver. LaFontaine is just off SR 15. Denver is just off SR 31. I'm almost exactly half-way between Indianapolis and South Bend.
