We dont make a commision off of single orders do we? I mean, right now I have NO shows in site. I am getting really worried. Been making the calls adn getting out more and no one is even biting. I even gave a catalog to a lady last night who came to buy our salt water tank! She had never heard of PC so I gave her a little quick rundown and talked to her about hosting, she said she would have to think about it 
A lady I know wants to order the cut and seal, but that is all. I have tried talking her into having a show but she doesnt want to. She is pregnant and tired all of the time. Well, that is her excuse anyway. How do you all get out of a funk? I do not want to go inactive but if I do, is it possible to make a better go of it later? I am just so dang aggravated.

Thanks Danielle, I guess I am just in a slump right now. And when I go to Walmart I get more frusterated because I see products that are ALOT like ours, though we all know they don't have the warranty like we do. I saw a measuring cup today that was similar to our new ones. Except this one was almost triangle in shape to make pouring easy. It had little "steps" in it showing where the measuring was and you could just look down into it to see it. It was a 2 cup capacity for $3.84. I am just worried that ppl are not thinking our products are that different from what they can buy at their local store for alot cheaper. I mean, I LOVE PC products and the warranty can not be beat, but I am hearing alot of I can get that cheaper at such and such and then when you try to tell them about our quality and warranty it is like they tune you out. All they see is the price. Around here the economy is pretty bad so ppl just do not spend. My highest show was just over $500 and my hostess kicked butt trying to get orders. My pregnant friend doesnt have internet though or I would definitely suggest her have an online show. Maybe I will brooch that on a baby board that I am a member of? I have had a few girls on there order from me, one had over $100 worth of orders! So maybe I can suggest it to them...Who knows, it can't hurt to try anyway. Thanks again for the advice.
