Hi Everybody,
I have my first show during a week day in the last week of this month.
I have initially give the host the option to choose between 3 recipes for a main course and three recipes for a dessert.
30 Minutes Chicken
Southwestern Pork of Chicken Fajitas
Loaded Potatoes Chowder
Strawberry-Coconut Tres Leches Trifle
Butterfingers Trifle
Chocolate Banana Cream Trifle
She said that if it will be just desserts, will hold the party starting 7 pm, if it will be more of a supper, from 6pm.
After she saw the recipes she said to better make it 7 pm and just a dessert, because most of the people already have their dinner between 5-6 pm, so they would not want to eat even more, and just having dessert would be fine, because she wanted to keep it simple.
She also mentioned to me at the beginning that most of her friends are familiar with PC and there's no need for me to spend to much time presenting the business. I was fine with that, because there's no need for me to have bored guests at her party, and I know that most of her friends already know about the business.
I tried to convince her that 6 o'clock it's better and that maybe I can work with the recipes options. I am trying to use the DCB for one recipes (trying to show the benefits of it, in the idea of selling more) and the trifle bowl because of the April host special.
I don't know what shall I do? How are the week days parties go? What shall I tell my host in order to prove some points and not wasting my time being there; I want her and her guests to feel good also. Should I change the recipes and have appetizers? I really hoped that by using the DCB people would be more willing to buy it. I had just a few parties so far and I do not know yet what works better and what not. I only know that I could use some more bookings and sell more and I am afraid to make mistakes that will "cost" me and discourage me with the business.
Any suggestions also about how shall I "entertain" guests that already know all that it's to know about PC?
Thank you in advance for any advice.
