What is sales: Definition and 200 Discussions

Yesteday, I went to my only show for the month with such doubt that my host would be able to invite people or if she did, I didn't think a lot of the would order. Boy was I soooooo wrong! Before I even started the show she already had $200 in outside orders. In the end, she had 12 people...

So, I am not sure where to begin. Many of you are aware of our continuing financial troubles. Well, PC went to debit my account for my PWS and it didn't go through because we don't keep money in that account because it has been levied. I had updated my new account info on CC so I had no idea...

With working full-time outside of PC, this is a major milestone for me. Has anyone done something specials for hosts/guests for this milestone? I'm looking for some ideas. I don't want to brag to people, but rather encourage them to look at the business.

So how much better it really is? Why not have a business with Mary Kay or Tastefully Simple, or Avon, or some home decor company? I've been asked this as part of the game for points questions, and got very nervous because I really did not have a solid answer. I don't know how these other...

I have taken a break for PC the past year, as I had some other commitments I needed to focus on, and I am just now getting back into it. I am sending out an email to announce my grand re-opening and wanted to offer some specials for people who purchased or booked shows. Any fun ideas?

I had a show last night and the host wanted to get the 7 pc cookware set for her half-price item. I got so excited because I thought it would count towards my commissionable sales! I guess I didn't read the fine print. My question is what exactly counts towards career sales?

Does anyone know how I can check where I am with career sales? I have a goal I want to hit by next year for National Conference but I am trying to see where I currently at so I can set some goals. I emailed my director because I thought she might have it. Not sure how else to find out. Thank...

Okay, not yet but I checked tonight and I'm only $1400 away! HOLY COW!! I do have one $450 show open and one other show this month. :cool:

I was setting up an August show tonight in my pws. The person lives in one county but the sales tax is showing up for the neighboring county. Is there anyway to override the sales tax on the pws. I created the show on pp3 and I was able to manually change the tax, but can't see where I can do...

Hi Everyone... I'm new and I have a question. If I host my own show will I receive the sales credit as a host and also receive commission on my own order? If not, should I put the host as someone else to receive these benefits? I'd like to add to my kit while I have the additional discount...

I'm referring to page 20 of the July Consultant News ... "Carries a HOT new fall product" ... hmmm, something stoneware? ... "and coordinates perfectly with the Glassware Tote" or something dots? Inquiring minds want to know! What's your guess?

Last year when I went to conference there was a career luncheon for consultants with sales levels over $50k. This year my sales are at 70k (qualifying for the $50k) with five recruits :) . My recruits aren't recruiting, so I'm at a Team Leader status. I don't see anything on the schedule for...

Had a show last nite..first one since the announement of the DCB info. Had 10 ladies there. It was a "spur of the moment" show...someone referred this host to me the day before I was leaving for Disney...told her I could do a June 22nd show... 5 of the ladies ordered a baker, 1 ordered 2 of...

I'm never sure if I'm posting in the right spot, and this is one of these times :) How does it affect our commissions & cummulative career sales if customers return products they ordered from shows and just request a refund instead of exchanging for a different product? I've had 2...

I may be off my rocker, but I seem to remember there being some sort of recognition (like an e-mail or phone call) when we reach 10K in sales. It's very, very likely I may reach that milestone this month. I'm at 9,200 and I have a big show tomorrow.

Ok, at my cooking show the other night I was demonstrating the Ultimate Mandoline. On top of all the other things I was saying about it, I added, "This is the perfect tool for you if you are not much of a knife person...like myself! I always worry I will cut my finger off, but with the UM I...

In order to be active does you commission sales have to be 150.00 or the total sales 150.00 a month?

They just ran an article about this company in our local paper yesterday. http://www.mancaveworldwide.com Pretty interesting concept! Their shipping prices are outrageous ($8 initial fee plus $2 for additional items and $5 initial fee for meat products).

So, I just went on Jamie Oliver's home site to see what kind of recipes he has, etc, and he has a link for his own direct sales company called Jamie at Home...It is very similar to PC, consultants are selling his own line of cooking products, etc and the commission is similar as well as the...

I just started with Pampered Chef April 2nd. I have had 2 shows and have 4 more scheduled b4 my 30 days are up may 12th. My first 2 parties were from friends and family and barely made it to 150. any suggestions?

Have they talked about this or do they just do it every year? Last year was my first year. What is the last date for sales to count?

I just did a show tonight, around 10 people came, only 3 had even been to a PC show before. And walked out with only $170 in sales!!! There are 3 more pending orders out, but I was so embarrassed. The show was kinda disorganized. Show was to start at 7pm. The hostess wanted to make a...

I have a few ideas for Shows, but not sure if they would work. Tex - Mex Fiesta Party 4th of July Barbecue Party All Chocolate Party NASCAR Breakfast and Race Day Parties Fall Foliage Party Granted, they may all carry various "themes," of sorts, but would they work? Also, Hubby and I...

Ok, so this just makes me love PC that much more...I did a Tastefully Simple party for a friend of mine. I had one person book a show so I get an item in the catalog at 1/2 price. We'll I was thinking about getting their big kit (it's like $199, but at 1/2 price $100), but found out that I...

My best month ever was $3100 and this month I am currently at $2615 for the month (which means I got the $100 off of conference). I would love to beat my highest month and now that I am so close I want to do all I can to do that. I am trying to have my own catalog show and I got a few people...

Do you lose career sales after 1 month no sales or 2 in a row? Thanks!

and it was pretty bad.... There were over 600 women there and we got 2 bookings and not even $100 in orders. Women actually avoided our table. We did a drawing and people filled out the drawing slips and ALL were checked no to hosting a show. I'm upset because the booth was expensive and...
