So i did my first bridal shower(with my sis who is signing up :o) & the whole day was a disaster I had a nervous breakdown with having to get everything rushed all in one day-the bride was impossible to contact,didnt even do her wish list! I made one for her! Ahh i almost cancelled because i was so stressed! But with the support of my mother & sister i pulled thru & did the show & for my first show it was great! a $589 show!!! And the bride wants to use her credit towards a kit to be a consultant!!! YEY so it'll be my 2nd recruit! so will i be a FD? oh and i have a question.. if the show goes in after the end of july will the guests still be elgiable for the guest special of july?? as long as the show date shows july?? I am very happy with the end result!!!

Hooray!!! I'm so glad it worked out well for you!! :) :) :)
 
I have always been told that the special is whatever month you turn it in... just like what month you turn it in is what month it will count for your comm. sales. I'm prepared to tell my guests that did get the host special, that it will be changed if I can't close by the 31st. Maybe I'm wrong.
 
Congratulations!! Yes as long as the show is DATED as a July show, the guests will receive the July guest special. The show will be on your August commission though. That's great!
 
Yes, like Becky said, the host & guest special is whatever month the show is HELD & your commission is whatever month the show is SUBMITTED. So if you turned in a July 28 show on August 3, the host & guest special would be July's, but your commission/sales would be for August.

Oh ok Great! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Guest SpecialOne thing, if the show is turned in on August 3, just REMEMBER, it DOES NOT count towards your sales to earn the mid season products, so even if you August totals show $1250.00, if $590.00 of that was that July show, you won't get the mid season products.

HTH,
