Maximizing Sales: Tips for Engaging Large Crowds at Events

[TheFreddiesCook]

I always get large groups of people at my shows, but then my highest show has been only $850, where there were about 15 people in attendance. Most of the time I have groups of over 12 guests, but only one or two have a big order and the rest is just $20-30... when I look at what they are ordering, it makes me think they are just buying something out of pity for the host. THen why do they come?

Any advice on this?

What recipe are you doing? Something with higher priced items being used?

Ironically, my lowest show ever was one where I used the DBC for chicken fajitas. I have been doing the three cheese veggie pizza, antipasti pizza, the microwave chips. And have done fajitas and dessert in the DCB at a few and have not sold one DCB yet!

Really try hard to paint a picture of what these tools will do for your customers. Listen to the workshop by Feriale Young "Be a Master Seller" on the Online Training Center. It's all about showing your customers all of the amazing things they can do with the higher priced items, they will either pay full price for them or book a show to get them for free or 1/2 price!

I usually make the Chicken Enchilada Pizza or Bacon and Cheese Brunch Squares and a Lava Cake
I sell alot off rice cookers,large bar stones,rotary graters,ridged bakers(I make the chicken & bacon in the microwave)
I dont sell many DCB either So I focus on more medium priced items and that seams to work well for me
My party average is at $675 for the year and $849 for the month so far
Hope that helps
