Would you have thought a show would go to $1,000 if:
* Your host never sent a guest list.
* Every attempt at host coaching was met with "I'm really busy right now."
* Your host finally calls less than a week befor the show to insist on every recipe she sees!
* To appease her, you agree to make 4 recipes at home in exchange for being reimbursed for groceries.
* You get to her house on 4.5 hours of sleep and not thinking straight.
* Turns out she hasn't completed the recipes she agreed to make.
and
* Nobody paid attention to your presentation when it came to making a recipe for the show!
* Your brain is so fried you forgot the full service checkout!
Turns out this host REALLY knows her friends! Many of them showed up early and helped us make the "advance" recipes. It was like an interactive show before the show!
And though they didn't really watch me make the BLT linguine, many of them bought items we had on display. Like the lady who bought the small bowl and caddy just because we put the sprinkle dip in it! Or the host and a couple of others bought the microplane, even though I forgot to grate the parmesean!
Right now it's hovering at BARELY above $1,000 in commissionable sales, and WAY over that with non-commissionable. If only that counted, I'd be at Level 1 already!
