The ups and downs of any businesss. The two shows I had this week have postponed; but rescheduled for November. Not good for October sales but great for November Consultant Sales Promotion. Sometimes I feel like I am riding in a rolling boat. But just as I was feeling low I receive a call from a lady who received my name from a past guest and she also scheduled a show for November. Sometimes you just wonder;)
 
That stinks, but it works out. I have had a couple of people tell me that its too soon to do a show. I asked them when would be a good time and they said November. Well, if you insist!
 
I have actually been encouraging November instead of October b/c of the sales promotion. I have three for this month. I am hoping for a lot of catalog shows in November!!! I love those!! Just sit back and reap the rewards!!!!
 
Sounds just like what have been dealing with!! It's a very emotional business - LOL
 
I had the same thing happen... but I've garnered a couple of catalog shows after all... and I'm still working on Oct. It's my SS3 and I guess I'm feeling greedy but I really wanted that last bonus... But my Nov. is looking super so I'm looking at the thankful side of things too!
 
Same thing happened to me, but I was thankful that they at least gave me enough notice to get some new ones booked. (still trying to get a couple more this month!) All things happen for a reason I think though...my November is looking up with 6 shows scheduled so far:)
