If you build it, they will come...or if you sell it, they will buy it

dannyzmom · 10-02-2007, 11:52 PM

Well, tonight, instead of having my host purchase pre-cooked chicken, I had her give me three raw chicken breasts.

I seasoned them with salt & pepper and Rosemary Herb Seasoning Blend and popped them in teh mike in the DCB for 8 minutes. I sold two DCBs at full price and one to the host at 60% off. NICE!

Oh and as it stands right now, the show is at $1246 with at least 3 more orders coming in!

Sweet!!!!!

Christ Follower · 10-03-2007, 12:45 AM

That's marvy!!! I'll have to try that!

chefann · 10-03-2007, 05:27 AM

That's awesome, Carolyn!

missyciccolella · 10-03-2007, 06:10 AM

That is great! What do you say about the DCB? I'm curious as I rarely sell one at full price. Thanks!

Well, so many of ya'll have been talking about how they sell when you show them...so I out 3 breasts seasoned into it and popped them in the mike for 8 mins. I used those 8 mins to talk about all the things you can do with the DCB and how if you buy one not only does it come w/recipes but I also will email you a recipe booklet. I talk abotu how if you're a busy mom w/ baseball, ballet, karate, pta PLUS a full time day job...and you only have 15-30 mins to get dinner on teh table...season your chicken before you leave for work & throw it in the fridge in a zippy bag. Then, in the evening, toss it in the DCB with some veggies and taters and mike it for ___ mins (depending on if it's a whole bird or breasts) OR throw it w/o the veggies & taters...and while it's cooking make your veggie & starch on the stove. They went NUTS for it!

Thanks for sharing! I love these recipes you give them! I was making one of my own so I'm going to use yours as it is much better than mine! Thank you and this timing has been perfect!

KellyTheChef · 10-03-2007, 06:38 AM

I didn't even bring mine to my show on Saturday....just talked about it and how I have an entire sheet of recipes, plus I can tell them how to make the 30 minute chicken, 20 min ribs, 10 min tenderloin, and 30 min turkey chili. I sold one at full price, and one at half price to my host! (and there were only 5 guests there!)

Thanks for all the tips! I will definitely do that!

Suggestion: Add the quick chicken, tenderloin and ribs to your recipe list. I took a recipe sheet that was posted last week (thank you whoever posted it!) and changed it up so I could include those 10-20 minute recipes. I just added yours too!

Cindycooks · 10-03-2007, 06:45 AM

Carolyn - were these part of a recipe or did you just slice them and let them all try a piece?
Great idea!

quiverfull7 · 10-03-2007, 06:52 AM

I've been cutting the pork tenderloin or the chicken and putting it on the SA rectangle tray and I've sold more of them in Sept. than in an entire year. It's a GREAT meat platter... takes up different space on the table .. .but noone ever looks at the SA pieces and thinks "Meat" you know... and it looks very pretty as well.

ChefBeckyD · 10-03-2007, 06:53 AM

First - I sell DCB's at every single show! I have made it a part of all my demos! My favorite, simple demo - which sells both stoneware and cookware - is the 30 minute Chicken w/ the Garlic biscuit bites. I have never had a more powerful demo than that one! I have been saying that no one I know, even if they love cook, and especially of they don't love it, has time to spend an hour or more making dinner - but at the same time, we feel that "mommy guilt" if we are feeding our family frozen, convenience, and take-out foods. At my house I have found that the DCB is a solution to that problem and that using it, in 30 minutes or less, I can feed my family a sit-down dinner of REAL FOOD REAL FAST! I then list several of the recipes that can be made....including a dessert!

Second - Thanks Beth for compiling those recipes!

quiverfull7 · 10-03-2007, 07:10 AM

I LOVE that verbage... thanks so much for sharing... I've been saying pretty much the same thing but in a much less powerful way! THAT is going on a note card! Thanks!

They're not my recipes - I got the recipe booklet from another consultant

Great idea!

I used two of the breasts for the Lemon Herb Chicken Ring...the last breast I cut up and let people try - each person who tried it, bought a DCB. The extra we tossed in a tupperware for the host to use for Chicken Salad tomorrow.

Becky - do you have an outline of sorts for when you do this demo? I am a total creature of habit so I need directions to follow if I am trying somethign ne wand I would LVOE to try this for a show this weekend!

quiverfull7 · 10-03-2007, 07:52 AM

Beth... can you post that sheet you've developed here too or are they already on the tri-fold one you posted and I'm not seeing them?
