You Know It Is Fine and Good That This Person Wanted to Cancel but

[Chef_2_Four]

You know it is fine and good that this person wanted to cancel but darn it I was going to buy my cookware at 60% off through her since she booked from a friends show and the friend didn't want the cookware. so now I can't get the SS cookware that me and DH really wanted. it makes me sad! which i do still have 4 shows for sept so i may earn enough to get some free stuff!

 

[peichef]

sorry April. That sucks. We've all been there. Maybe you can use the ph discount at another show in Sept. I doubt each past host will take advantage.

 

[Chef_2_Four]

well i have one more show i can check. i know for a fact that the past host doesn't want the cookware, but the current host may use it. if I had the time i would have my own show but i don't....so i won't!

 

[tlennhoff]

You could always do your own show. Do a mystery host to give away the FPV but keep the 60% off for yourself.

 

[dannyzmom]

Why don't you just host your own catalog show - collect $150 in orders and you can get the cookware at 60% off!

Exactly my thoughts!

 

[Chef_2_Four]

I was thinking over supper about hosting a catalog show. I may have to do that.

That's what I'm doing for September...

...now hoping I can afford some cookware by the time I'm ready to close it...

Hosting your own show is the best way - you want YOUR cookware under YOUR name not another person's...with a lifetime warranty...who knows where you and them will be in 10 years!

Just one extra show just might take care of that!

I'm trying to fit in more - I have 2 cooking shows for September and I normally do 1.

...and 2 catalog shows (counting my own)...

Show average is lower lately...people keep saying they want stuff but can't spend money due to gas prices or other things...grr...I'm queen of $20 orders lately! ...but still chugging...

If this is someone you know well maybe you can ask her to show the catalog around. When this happens to me I tell them (usually I have small orders pending here and there from work). If I give you a few catalogs and you can get me some orders I have a few orders I'm willing to add to your catalog show total." This way they feel they already have a head start.

I do know her well, but she is a FT student and doesn't have the time so I am not going to push the issue. I think I may have my own catalog show.

I purposely booked a show off my mysery host show last month so I can be the "past host" (it was under the winner's name & she doesn't need cookware) and buy the 7 piece set at 60% off. Then I only need to collect a $12 order for it to be a qualifying show so I can get the 5 piece set at 60% off too! I too, also hope to have enough $$ to close the show!

 

[Christ Follower]

The funny thing is that will show up as $12 in commissionable sales when I close it since the whole show is basically host specials! No free credit either since it's a catty show!

 

[Christ Follower]

At least it will go towards my pan-o-rama points!

 

[JAE]

Is this "legal"?

 

[Christ Follower]

According to my Director it is. I originally booked off the mystery host show so I can buy one set of cookware for 60% off. The booking benefit would've been a "bonus" to the winner of the mystery host show. She doesn't want the cookware though, and said she didn't care if I or anyone else wanted to have it. It (booking benefit) will be under her name, so I am not counting on having the lifetime guarantee thing.

I have another lady who books off of herself all the time and uses the past host discount and booking benefit to make up her whole show. I've never had a problem with HO submitting a show with only one order on it.

 

[JAE]

I guess I ask because the policy is that if we are the host we can't get the booking bonus. So, if we take the booking bonus from a show we book from the show using a Mystery hostess, then aren't we getting the booking benefit that we aren't really aloud to get? Does that question even make sense? Sorry, but do you see what I'm asking?

 

[gaddischef]

Why not just try to get it free with the Pan-O-Rama!! We have basically all fall to earn the cookware for FREE!

 

[lockhartkitchen]

Jae,I understand what you are asking. I've never done it this way. I use my mom as a co-host when host do not want the booking bonus and purchase the items. If there is someone outside of your household, neighbor, etc. that could be the host listed.

 

[missi.robbins]

I thought HO didn't ask for the receipt for the lifetime guarantee items? So it wouldn't matter if it's in someone else's name then.

 

[Carissidy]

I might just have to find out from HO this all works bc believe it or not (LOL) once again I am confused and I really want the Executive Cookware!
