CSAS Posted October 6, 2005 Author Share Posted October 6, 2005 That sounds reasonable. Has anyone ever remarked whether it was an awesome freebie or not enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrealh1975 Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I'm an ex-PL consultant...If a show is over $200 + 1 booking the hostess receives 25% of the show sales in free products. As far as a hostess gift...the consultant usually gave that on his/her own. And what it was just depended on the consultant. Also for hostesses there are certain products that will be anywhere from 35% to 50% off just for that month, BUT, they have to have at least a $200 + 1 booking. HTH Let me know if you have more questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorrie Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I am probably the odd ball on this. I give the hostesses 25% of the sale no matter what the size. They do not get booking gifts or hostesses gifts because I am so generious with the % they get free. I do not have any minimum either. I have gotton a couple of parties this way and my hostesses tell me that they like this alot better because they know how hard they need to work to get what they want.

Lorrie Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I glad that helped you but be warned you will always have the one or two hostess that want more. I had one that turn in a $26 dollar show and wainting me to give her a booking gift because she got a friend to book. I had to politely tell her no. I also told her that if she wanted to get a booking gift that I would have to raise my minimum because I just could not afford to give out booking gifts. Mind you this was my SIL. She is one of those people that always is looking for something for nothing. SHe has three sister and they are the same way. I ended the circle of them all booking off one another to get free stuff.But getting back to the gifts and stuff. If you are going to give booking gifts or hostess gifts I recommend that you put some sort of minimum order on your parties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
