Hey Guys, I should know the answer to this since I've been a consultant for many years, but, I've never not had any shows. To have the $200 in sales to stay active, what do I need to submit in December? October was approx. $129 in sales November was approx. $98 in sales. Do I have to start at $0 for December and submit $200, or do I need to submit $102 because I can use November's sales? What a dry spell I'm going through! Let's hope it turns around in 2009! --Jenny L |

from Policies and procedures it says:
"To remain active, you must submit at least $200 in commissionable sales in every consecutive two-month period (current and previous)"
so you would need submit $102 in December to stay active :) |

Yep, you need $102 in December. And then you'll need at least $98 in January again to make Dec+Jan > $200. |

So, in those dry spells, $100 a month keeps you active and protects your carreer sales. Good to remember. (now, to pick up the phone and CALL people!) --Jenny L |

I am in such a Dry Spell, that I have not had the money to Advertise. So Sales are Nill, None, Nada, Zip, Zero, Zilch. I am hoping that my Christmas Cooking Book (out in Print early next week), which Mentions Items that I use in my home, that are PC, will help Sales to improve. |

I don't really advertise. The only advertising I get is from doing vendor fairs and word of mouth. I just can't afford to do anything else. The best way to "advertise" is to just keep your name in front of your customers and hosts through calls and maybe even a newsletter. I do a monthly email newsletter that helps keep my name in their minds. I don't always feel like I'm getting much from it since I rarely get feedback after I've sent it anymore, but I sure do hear from my customers when I miss a month! I also have my name in our local MOPS group's monthly newsletter (which I just so happen to create!). We don't charge for that as long as you're a member, I know some groups do. But we also have a section for paid advertisements from businesses. Something like that might be a possibility. But the BEST form of advertisement is truly word-of-mouth. And the highest form of compliment I think! Other free (yes I know it's not completely free) advertising options would be to drop off catalogs at local businesses in their waiting rooms/lobby's. You may need to ask permission to drop one off, but if you're sitting somewhere waiting you can always "accidentally" leave one! lol! You can also leave mini-catties or business cards or homemade flyers on bulletin boards about town. Michelle |
