guys, help me get my pea-brain wrapped around this....

[chefmeg]

pay $155 for kit and get $425.50 in products
do a show of $600 and get $120 commission check-which can be split into 4 catalog show (give away host bonus or do your own show)
qualify in first 30 days May bonus $100 TPC$
4 shows in 30 days $100 TPC$


$155-$120=$35

for $35 you get $625.50 in products and $120 cash


if you were to do $1,250 in commissionable sales, you would earn an extra $100 TPC$ and $275 in cash from your commission check

THIS IS JUST IN YOUR FIRST 30 DAYS!!!!!!!!!


is this right?????????????

Someone was talking about this at our director meeting yesterday. I was going to sit down and run the numbers myself.

Given the economy, this is a GREAT marketing tool!!!

[chefmeg]

this is what I came up with when I sat down with it all and just can't believe this! see what you come up with!

[Debi]

Yes, this is correct!

[chefmary]

This is what I came up with, so as to offer two different scenarios:


$600 in sales, 4 shows, 30 days
$120 commissions
$100 May Bonus
$50 PC New Consultant Bonus – 4 shows
$50 – doubled for first 30 days.
$320 total, less kit = $165 net ($20 cash + $145 in additional product)

$1250 in sales, 4 shows, 30 days
$275 commissions
$100 May Bonus
$50 PC New Consultant Bonus – 4 shows
$50 – doubled for first 30 days
$50 PC New Consultant Bonus – $1250 in sales
$50 – doubled for first 30 days
$575 total, less kit = $420 net ($120 cash, $300 additional product)

Either way, it's a win-win!

Thank you Mary!~it was one of those situations that looked too good to be true, but it's not! I will be calling all 17 leads over the rest of the week and weekend and now I have the numbers to show what a deal this is!

[chefmary]

Thanks, ladies! I'm usually borrowing ideas from others, so I'm glad I got the info right for you. About 2 summers ago I made a "Summer Pilot Program" flyer which I'll update with this new info. I'll post it when it's done!

Mary

[chefmeg]

ooooohhhhh! I can't wait to see that!

[chefmary]

Here's my flyer...let me know if you see any typos! I have this available in Publisher also, if anyone would like to be able to type in their own contact info.

[pampmomof3]

Hey Mary,
Woud you mind posting it in Publisher pretty please?

Thank you for your hard work!!!

[pamperedbecky]

Wow, Mary, that's great!!! I assume it can't be converted to word, can it? I don't have publisher on my laptop. This is a great flyer! I don't think I can insert a text box if it's a pdf file and I'd love to do that. And maybe put my personal website address. Thanks for sharing!!!

[chefmary]

Oops... Kristy, I don't think the board supports .pub files, so send me a PM with your email addy if you'd like me to send the publisher file.

Becky, I think you can take a snapshot of the .pdf file then paste it as a picture in Word. Then you can add a text box on top of the picture to add your contact info. Let me know if you need help with that!

Thanks!! I'll give that a try. :)

Mary

Ok, I guess I'm confused. I did the snapshot thing and have it in the word doc but it doesn't seem to want to let me do a text box over it. :cry:Any ideas??

[chefmary]

Becky:

After you've pasted the .pdf into Word, save the file. Then try to add the text box.

[bethcooks4u]

I attached the word doc. I added a text box. You should be able to change the contact info on it.

[legacypc46]

Thanks Beth!
One question, wouldn't it be better to direct them your own website to sign-up (versus pc.com)? That way they'd automatically be signed under your number. (And I'm always petrified they'll mistype my consultant number)

[pamperedbecky]

Thanks! I didn't save it first so that maybe was the problem. I was thinking the same thing about the website....I'd love to be able to plug mine in there, but I guess I can't, right? It's SUCH a great flyer!!

[bethcooks4u]

I put a text box over the PC.com and entered my own site. It was hard to do it in the space so I had to cover more of the text and retype in that section.

...I did not save the doc before adding the text box and it worked.

[legacypc46]

Thanks for that tip. It's a great flyer. Looking forward to using it. :)

[chefmeg]

AMAZING! Thanks Mary & Beth!

[chefmeg]

I found an error and don't know how to fix it....under option 2, it says $11,250 in sales and should be $1,250! BIG DIFFERENCE...can someone knowledgeable please fix and repost?

[pamperedbecky]

Oh, good catch!! I didn't notice that and was about to print it up and send it to someone. I wish I knew how to fix it, but I don't.:(

[bethcooks4u]

I didn't notice that either. I'm sure Mary will fix it and repost.

[chefmary]

Thanks for the catch, ladies! I actually was just hoping my new consultants would think big :)! I removed the original file and replaced it in the original post with the revised file. So it's safe to download away!

[bethcooks4u]

Thanks for fixing it Mary - and for changing the paragraph with the website. You are awesome.

Here it is in word with the text box for contact into for those that need it.

[DebbieJ]

bumping for Kate
