Wow!! I Worked My Tail off up Until Almost the Last Minute!

In summary, Man! What a day!! I closed 5 shows today!!! I really didn't think the last one was going to make it in, but it came through about an hour before the deadline. I know we have until the 5th, but I really need the commission for that order to pay on a bill next month. I have never really thought of PC as being a stressful job at all, but I was chewing my nails off over this one! I want to jump for joy and tell everyone in the house, but they are all in bed, so I am telling my Cheffer family instead. I was also only $81 away from breaking my goal for my highest month! My highest month ever was $3000.94

Good for you, job well done!:)
 
Awesome! I'm sitting here at 10:05 pm waiting on my host to email me her order. I just called her and she said she was typing it in....HURRY!!!!!

Pekin. Ever hear of it?

We have a school, post office, bank, gas station, movie rental store, Mom & Pop grocery store and a caution light :rolleyes: The next town to the North (Salem) is bigger, but has mostly places to eat and drug stores. No stores at all like Target or Walmart. I have to drive about 30 minutes to the South get to one of those towns.

I couldn't wait to log on and go to CC so I could see my sales listed, and it's not updated :eek:

Oh, I forgot to tell you all. I had a friend get on the Outlet and order 6 quick stir pitchers, and she forgot to order them through my website :eek: :(

Good job Jennifer!!

Did you have payments for all the shows you closed? I had to leave two of them open because I am waiting for over $600 in checks. I was afraid to. I already earned my dishcloths, so I wasn't worried about that. It just stinks that I will have to wait so long for my commissions now.

I had almost all of it. The people I didn't get if from I know, and I know will pay me. Of course, if for some reason they don't, I will be covering it with my babysitting money. At least I have that to fall back on. We just won't have food next week.

Congratulations, Jennifer! I love it when a plan comes together!

My team worked like CRAZY this month!!!
Tammy, I am like you - I have 3 shows I had to hold open waiting for check to clear -- bummer.

I got my $500 show in at 11:41 CT lets talk about calling it close
 
  • #27
I too was up late last night closing out a show. I finally got all my info just after 11. I finally pushed the button around 11:45, talk about close calls. lol
 
  • #28
Congrats guys - I didn't get a $500 show in, but I am aiming for mid-season products for sure!!!!
 
  • #29
I was up til after 11pm last night too! I feel like a zombie at work today. But I will feel great when that commission check comes in. I had over $6200 in sales this month and I'm in my SS month 2! If only I knew it'd be like this every month I'd leave my day job, but I know this won't always be the case. I had a really good month last month too, but not this good. Oh well, I told my DH that I'd just enjoy my good fortune while it lasts. I have to give all the credit to God, but this site has helped me soooooo much. You guys are awesome. My director is about an hour away from me so I am pretty much on my own and this site has really made the difference!

That's exactly what I'm praying for. I'm working on getting my teaching certificate right now. I will be done in May. But I think I'd like to do PC full time instead. But my DH will have a hard time with me ditching the teaching path since we just spent $2500 on tuition and state tests!
