Large Crowd

I hope so! I had the same problem though throughout the show everyone was chatting away and such, so only the people who volunteered to help actually got to see what was doing... but i did bring some extra veggies and such and encouraged others to play with my tools if they didn't get a chance to, or if there was something they wanted to see that we didn't use today! That did increase sales because I noticed alot of the guests purchased what they touched!

Update on my show from Sunday. It went great. The 2 hosts got lost coming to my house. So they were late getting their recipes started. We had 3 done prior to the guests coming and 1 that I did interactive. I let them eat first and did a garnishing demo while they were eating. Then after they finished eating we went thru the cataloge page by page and we played the Got It Love It game along with them reading the Did You Know stickers that I had placed on some pages in the cataloges.

1 host wants to become a consultant (my 1st!!! Yeah!!!!) and I am waiting on her to decide what she wants for her free products. The other host will finish collecting orders on Friday. So together they will have a $1100+ show and 8 bookings.

I didn't have trouble with people talking too much since they were wanting to get a ticket from both games that we were playing. And 1 host was helping to keep the noise level down. 30 people in my living/dining room and 1 hubby of a guest and their children in my den watching the Cowboys game. It was a long evening for me, but one that I consider very successful.

I sent out the invitations for my hosts and I did all the reminder calls. I also offer an On Time prize and I gave my hosts incentives for outside orders or bookings prior to their show ($20 in free product if they have 7 orders >or= $300 or 3 bookings, they get the $20 in product after I have done the 3 shows, if they only got bookings). The host that will be a new consultant sold over $400 in products prior to the show date. She did an awsome job. I really host coached them to reach some goals using their wish lists.

Also, I have found that since I go thru the catalog page by page, my sales have increased. I have most of the food prepared before hand and let the guests eat first. I then have their attention because their mouths are full and they are eating and watching me do my demo's. (thanks to Raebates for her outline on a no interactive show). These are the only things that I have done differently and I now have reached SAT for all the free products.
I can't wait to see what the new year will bring!

For those of you who do the Warm Caramel Nutty Brownies, do you actually chop up the chocolate morsels in the food chopper? I made these over the weekend, and found the chopper didn't do to much. And if occured to me, they would simply melt regardless.

What do you think?

Andrea - I skip over the chopping of the morsels and it works just fine!

I usually buy the mini chocolate chips and skip the chopping part!!
