That or if a past host ordered the host special & the current host's order was over her free product value, then the difference might not be exactly the amount of the special. The host's order over the free product adds to our commissionable sales & might make the difference between the guest sales & commissionable sales less.

jrny2001 said:The past host ordered the salad & berry spinner as did this host. Also the host only went over her free stuff by .50 (haven't had any big spenders lately)
I can't figure it out.
Thanks for trying to help.
The reason for the difference is because you had a past host order the salad and berry spinner/host special which goes towards guest sales but not towards commissionable sales.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why would guest sales be more than comm sales?
Guest sales may exceed comm sales due to the enthusiasm and engagement of guests during a party or event. When guests are excited about the products and the demonstration, they are more likely to make purchases, leading to higher guest sales.
What factors contribute to higher guest sales?
Several factors can contribute to higher guest sales, including effective product demonstrations, the host's influence, limited-time offers, and the overall atmosphere of the event. A well-organized and interactive presentation can significantly boost guest interest and sales.
How does the host's involvement affect sales?
The host plays a crucial role in influencing guest sales. A passionate and knowledgeable host can create a welcoming environment, encourage participation, and share personal experiences with the products, which can lead to increased guest purchases.
Can promotions or discounts impact guest sales?
Yes, promotions or discounts can greatly impact guest sales. Special offers, bundle deals, or exclusive discounts for event attendees can incentivize guests to buy more, resulting in higher sales compared to comm sales.
Is the timing of the event important for guest sales?
The timing of the event can significantly affect guest sales. Hosting events during peak shopping seasons, holidays, or when new products are launched can lead to increased guest interest and higher sales compared to regular comm sales.
