Lord, spur on these hosts that need to close their shows into total unrest until they have completed this task. In Your wisdom... push them to complete their payments and selections so that these consultants can be blessed in their businesses and recieve their compensation this month. We know and believe Lord, that YOU can send your Spirit to accomplish these things. Use each of us to bless others and most importantly to bring you glory. We love you Jesus, Amen

I know what you mean! I'm in the same boat (except that it's not my best month ever - but it is decent). I have TWO shows that need to close by tomorrow ($700 and $500). Neither host has given me her choices and one is still collecting orders. They both say they'll settle their shows tomorrow afternoon. We'll see.StacieB said:

Thanks... I've seen God doing such amazing things in this business... and my life... I just love to praise Him! I truly pray that these shows come through for all of you. I've been blessed with my highest month ever... $5330 ...and a new signed recruit ... she has done a $1000+ catalog show and talked the whole time about wanting to sign ... so I told her to keep the show for her first submission so she'll nearly be qualified already ... I almost lamented the loss of her commission but I'm asking God for a team and He sent her right along so I'm more excited to look long term! GOD is good... all the time! Y'all have a SUPER weekend... we're off to a wedding in a couple hours.

I would only do this if the show is being shipped to me. I have had several hosts say that they mailed the check and when I called them 2-3 days later saying I didn't get it they say "My husband was supposed to mail it and I found it in the car." All HAVE paid but I prefer to at least have the checks in my hands before letting the products go out.stacywhitlow said:

**BIG sigh**
I have 9 shows this month, and it is looking like only 4 of them will close by tomorrow night........Oh well, It will certainly make my October look incredible!
BTW - I do stress a closing date to my hosts, but because I was gone the first 2 weeks of Sept., all of my shows have been in the last 2 weeks, and it just wasn't happening this month!
Oh well, like I said - I will close 5 Sept shows next week, and I have 4 Oct shows next week, and 3 the week after that.....so my Mid month commission for Oct should be smokin'!

Ok girls, this is the message I've been leaving for hosts "let's try to get your show closed on Saturday b/c I know there will be lots of consultants closing shows on the last day of the month, and I would hate for your order to have to be in line behind all of theirs." Not untrue... which reminds me I need to go call a host right now!

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my last host close their party soon?
The closing date for a party typically depends on the host's preferences and the sales timeline. Most Pampered Chef parties are closed within a week or two after the last order is placed. It's best to communicate with your host to confirm their timeline and ensure they are ready to close the party.
How can I encourage my last host to close the party?
You can encourage your host by reminding them of the benefits they will receive from closing the party, such as earning free products and discounts. Additionally, you can offer to help them with the closing process by providing information on how to finalize the orders and answer any questions they may have.
What if my last host is hesitant to close the party?
If your host is hesitant, it may be helpful to discuss any concerns they have. They might be waiting for more orders or unsure about the process. Reassure them that closing the party is a simple step and that they can still earn rewards even if they don't reach a certain sales goal.
How does closing the party impact my sales goals?
Closing the party is crucial for reaching your sales goals, as it finalizes the total sales and allows you to count those sales towards your target. If your last host closes the party successfully, it can significantly contribute to reaching the $4000 sales milestone.
What happens if I don't reach $4000 in sales after my last host closes?
If you don't reach $4000 in sales after your last host closes, it's important to analyze what factors contributed to this outcome. You can use this information to adjust your strategies for future parties. Remember, every party is a learning opportunity, and you can always work towards your sales goals in subsequent events.
