does she have this much in sales this early in the month????

From the Top 50 Tracker on CC:

Dee Ann Hohn A OK $26,866.03

If anyone knows her, PLEASE ask her to share what she did to get to that much in sales!!!!!
 
I'm guessing a big show a day and a few closed in November from October......or maybe a huge fundraiser scheduled right?I am amazed at some of the sales of some people - they must do 2-3 shows A DAY!
 
Indeed! I've always wondered how those folks got such high numbers... I'm just looking forward to trying and break $1000 in sales this month! For the month!
 
I know (or should I say, I've heard) that people like David Meenan, do a couple shows a day. People that don't have kids seem to be able to do that more than us Moms and Dads. I know a lot of people do that who use to be corporate giants too! But I agree with Janet's assessment on this! Well, at least it's the only way I can fathom it!;)
 
WOW! Wondering if she's doing FRs or offering gift services?!?!

This one I was wondering about and wondered if it was a typo... for New Consultants with top shows in their first 30 days... The #1 person from PA did 13 shows but only had sales of $1,283.97. That's only an average of $97 per show? I don't get it.
 
If that consultant had a lot of past hosts take advantage of specials, she could have shows that low. Because the special counts toward guest sales, but the total on CC is commissionable.
 
Yeah, what Ann said is what I was going to say. I'm betting she broke her shows into the minimum $150 in guest sales to get that show count up there and get benefits that way...
 
Me too

Ditto!

I always daydream that this family of millionaires will come to me and order one of everything in the catalog this month!! LOL

Debbie :D

I think for the top 50 they have to be November shows. I think they must have had a fundraiser or more with November as their ending date, maybe some catalog shows and early cooking shows that closed right away - and big sales at them all!
 
I'm curious if she regularly does this much in sales or if this was a one time thing.

Yeah, that's what I meant...an October show "physically" as in legwork but dated November....
 
You also need to take into account where they live...I know that at one of our cluster meetings we were talking about David Meenan....He lives near NYC so there a scraper for $11.50 is really inexpensive so people buy a bunch of them...but here in Pennsylvania Dutch Country it isn't as good of a price. It is harder for me to explain quality due to the fact that they don't think about that they only think about price. KWIM.
 
That can also be an issue here in frugal north central Indiana. I do pretty well for living in Podunk, USA, but I doubt I'll be giving Mr. Meenan a run for his money anytime soon.

LOL - I totally agree!! From a NE Indiana Consultant!

They don't have this tracker on the Canadian CC so I am fascinated by IT and by this number. Even if she held her ENTIRE October over to submit in November thats something else for the 10th isn't it. I want to know more. Oh yes. Lots more. I would work 10 hour days to make this happen in my world. I could sure use THAT paycheque!!

I also saw that and did the math and questioned it as well. How can that be?:confused:

Here's another NE IN consultant who agrees! I'm thrilled when I get an order over $50! Over $100 & I'm doing a happy dance!


I would love to do $26,000 in a year! Let alone one month--or even one part of one month!
 
Not to hijack this thread, but a question to you NE Indiana consultants. Where exactly do you live. I may be moving to NW Indiana soon, and wondering if I have low sales to look forward to also. Is it just a NE thing, or should I prepare myself for a change in business.

i think you're right about that. i live near NYC too (10 min away) and people here don't really blink at the price of the products either. that's why when i have a show under $1000 i get disappointed, because the orders are usually higher. of course so are our property taxes though. LOL :(

According to the tracker, this almost $27,000 month was from Oklahoma....now I don't know a thing about that state (except the capital!), but it seems to me there had to be some really good business thinking to pull this off!
I still want to know who she is and how she did this~ya'll ask your uplines if they have heard anything through the loops they are on~

If you're moving near Chicago, then you probably won't have this problem. I think that part of the problem with NE IN is that we have such a low cost of living here that I don't know if people really like spending money on things. It's more about the price than the quality most of the time, I think. I lived in South Florida for a few years & I can tell a huge difference in the way people act toward spending money than here.

Not that we're using that as an excuse, just saying that we probably won't be seeing $26,000 a month very often!

If you stop to think about the rewards program, this consultant just earned $400 in PC dollars, plus her commission... Nice job.
 
Dee is in my upline . . . my director's director. I'm not sure what she does that is special, but I will ask her about it tomorrow at our cluster meeting and let all you guys know.
