Wont Have 2 Shows Before the 15Th

[DessertDivaFL]

I had a catalog show and enough individual orders for a show too! I am so blessed to have the friends I do!

I handed out catalogs this week to all my friends...and at the beauty shop. I told them I was taking orders trying to reach a goal by Saturday. I just submitted 2 catalog shows. I barely made it it with both, but I did reach my goal. It really is true that if you will just tell people your goals they will try to help you meet them. I had 2 people who said, "If you don't make it call me back and I will see if I need something else."

Well, I am sitting here at 6:45 p.m. on the 15th. I have three parties! YEAH HAAA!!! But wait! There is a catch! I can't reach two of the hosts who said they would have everything ready so I could close today! So I only have one!!!
Geez! Such a pain in the butt! I called them both and left messages and told them I would be up late so PLEASE call me!!!
I sure how one of them does. The really bad part - I need either one to pay the entire thing on a Credit Card! One of my June guest's bounced a $146 check so I can't send in any party against my Debit Card! THIS SO STINKS!!!
I wish we didn't get penalized because our guests our so bad! But, that is part of the game so... KEEPING FINGERS CROSSED!
The good part of today though, I got my Apron and Table cloth!!!

Oooh, maybe I'll be getting my apron/tablecloth soon! That will give me a lift.

I expected to have my 2nd show last night, and close today. However, it got cancelled 4 hours before I was supposed to be there. (One of the kids got sick. I know, that happens, but I was still annoyed). I'm sitting here, 8:10, trying to figure a way to submit a $150 show when I don't have any orders

whew! I just submitted my 2 shows. The weather is getting stormy and I just knew that it would be my luck that the power or the DSL would go out before I could get them submitted. I'm excited to earn this one....incase ya didn't read the other thread - my picture is in it! check it out (me and several other cheffers )

I'm bummed, too. I have 3 shows to close out. Two said they would close by Friday (yesterday) 1 said today. I had already turned in one show the beginning of August. I haven't been able to get ahold of one host yesterday or today. 1 called and said they needed to hold open until Wednesday. The other I submitted this afternoon and thought I was all set--but now I've got an email saying someone's credit card was declined. And I can't get ahold of the host or the customer! I was so excited and now bummed! I've left messages telling them to call me and I'll be up late but I doubt I'll hear from anyone tonight! What a let down after I thought I was in the clear!

You should have a couple of days to resolve the CC w/o being penalized for the date though. If you get it resolved it should still count for the promo.

 

[ChefLAM]

Oh I didn't know that. I hope I can get it resolved soon! Thanks for letting me know and congratulations on promoting to director!! Great picture!!

 

[ChefLAM]

Yay! I just got a call from the customer and we got it all worked out! Yippee! Thanks pamperedlinda for the information.

By the skin of my teeth I was just able to submit a 2nd catalog show that was exactly $150.00. Nothing like waiting til 10pm and getting in the bare minimum. Congrats to anyone who was successful. My august is looking rough - hope everyone elses is looking a bit more positive.

Could a past host order of the 7-piece stainless set, count as a show? I'm trying to enter it as the only item ordered on the show but getting that red circle saying that it won't accept it.

 

[PamperedchefDaly]

We don't get commission on host specials (including when the past host orders them), so my guess is that it won't count.

 

[raebates]

Past Host Specials count toward show sales, which would make a show. However, the past host can't order from Level 2 until the show sales are $550. That's why you can't enter the 7-Piece SS Set as a Past Host Special. She could only order the open stock pieces listed in Level 1.

Thanks Rae for clearing the confusion. I was going to buy it for myself to get the second show needed; however, I have no more room in my kitchen and logic prevailed.
