Maximizing Sales: How Missing a Deadline Can Impact Your Goals

[PoseyMom]

I totally didn't submit two of my shows until after the cut-off of midnight CST on Nov. 30 so it messes up my happy dance from earlier. NOW, I am $16 away from a plus and $240 from my ss2. Considering I didn't think I was going to get my ss2, this can be a good thing, but I haven't been able to get ANYTHING on the books for December! Now I'm going to work my butt off to sell $300 worth of product!!!!!

You can do it!!!! Call everyone who looked at your catalog. Call everyone who has ever invited YOU to one of their home parties. Give teach gift ideas, host ideas. Good luck!

Yikes!!
Thankfully I have a great AD who keeps an eye on our IPTs and lets us know at the end of each month "You are $___short for blah-blah incentive, don't forget to submit by such&such time..."

I do the same for my downline - I had two girls on Wednesday who I noticed were each just a few huindred short of the sell-a-thon's next level and one who was just shy of the sell-a-thon AND a SS level..I called each and they scrambled on the phone to get last minute orders and submit shows they were sitting on and they DID IT!! Every one of them did it!!

Directors...don't forget to keep an eye on your team's #s toward the end of the month - in helping them remember to give that extra little push, you'll help them earn lots of free stuff - in turn keeping them very motivated!!

I re-read my post and I could see how you misconstrued it. My ss2 month is December. Before I would have been $1250 from my ss2 and would have already obtained a plus. Either way I achieved level 1 of Sell-a-Thon. The only thing I need to work on is $300 in December to get both my ss2 and the plus bonus.

I don't think this is the fault of my director at all. She is very much in contact with me and checks the IPT regularly. It's a long story but I had a wedding shower from hell that took forever to close and then PP problems the night I was closing out hte fundraiser. I don't think she could have helped with either of those issues unless she had a magic fairy wand

Hi there! Don't worry, we all have those moments where we forget to submit shows on time. But it's great that you're only $16 away from a plus and $240 away from your ss2! That's definitely something to celebrate. I know it can be tough to get shows on the books for December, but don't give up! Keep working hard and I'm sure you'll reach your goals. Remember, the holiday season is a great time to sell our products, so take advantage of that. Good luck and keep up the great work!
