I just did a show tonight, around 10 people came, only 3 had even been to a PC show before. And walked out with only $170 in sales!!! There are 3 more pending orders out, but I was so embarrassed.
The show was kinda disorganized. Show was to start at 7pm. The hostess wanted to make a veggie pizza before the show started and then another one during the show, but she was behind so we started the pizza like just before 7, so the first few guests helped us put it together. Then there was a lot of mingling and the hostess (who was once a consultant herself) wanted to wait until all her friends got there to start, which was around 7:30pm. So I finally get everyone in one area together and start my talk. We have already finished the pizza by then.
Then we make Mom's Apple Crisp. I get lots of help making it, but still kinda disorganized b/c of all the talking, mingling, etc...
I had a lot of questions, I answered a lot. Finally showed off the cutlery, stoneware, and cookware. Didn't impress many. Was wierd b/c I'm usually doing great with these items. Hardly had anyone in the crowd pop up and talk about the products they owned, which I think helps a show.
I just felt like the show took forever and was very frustrated with the sales. I think the hostess was too.
Sorry, just needed to vent.
