Hi! I had a catalog show that generated very low sales (around $50). Although I've tried to coach my host into getting more, she says that her friends are watching their wallets, blah, blah. I suggested turning it into a cooking show but she came up with every excuse in the book! Anyway, I did...

thanks for the input everybody! I spoke with my director and as soon as I mentioned the consultant's name she immediately knew what the situation was. So, she said that we are looking out for the recruit and it should be no problem! she signed today! wahoo! what a great way to end the week :)

Okay, as I was walking my two month old for what seemed like FOREVER today I get a random phone call from a past host. She was a host of mine from last October. No real contact since then except for some emails regarding my newsletter. Apparently she met another PC consultant at a festival a few...

I was set to make the 10-min pork tenderloin only to realize I barely have a tablespoon of Smokey Barbeque Rub left. What can I substitute? Any other pork tenderloin recipes cooked in the DCB out there? I need to make something for the hubs and kiddo before my team meeting tonight! Thanks!

Had to laugh about "throwing up" all over people. I haven't gotten that vibe either. I try to make light of it and call it my "powerpoint" presentation. I just say "Who here has seen or made a powerpoint presentation?" Wait for response. "Well, since I don't really have a projector or a big...

I have an incredible past host (her show closed at near 2k) who would like to take advantage of the Feb host special. My show tonight was booked off her party so she will be ordering from the show. She would also like to purchase an item from the outlet. She is wondering if she can pay one...

I don't know if this has been addressed but I was just listening to Jane Miller's "Let's Talk Promotions" and she suggested to make warm cinnamon rolls at your Feb. shows to showcase the sprinkles. Do we have a PC cinnamon rolls recipe? If so, can anyone share? How else would you showcase the...

I totally want to kick myself if the *ss because they were selling Fall Mini's at Leadership for $1.75/pack and I thought that's what I had at home so I didn't bother picking them up! Arghh! Now I have 40+ invitations to send for a host with no mini's (except the holiday ones) to include. Blech.

I have quite a few Holiday 2008 mini-catalogs left and I really don't want to waste them. I was wondering if I could send them out with my host invites or would that seem weird (since the holidays are over and all)? Thoughts?

Just got a free bottle at Leadership (they were giving it away during the last few hours). I just added a dollop (sp?) to cream cheese and spread it on crackers and boy was it yummy! :thumbup: I'm 28 weeks pregnant so it may be the pregnancy talking but my husband liked it as well! Maybe you can...

I finally got home from vacation and have been dealing with the EXACT SAME ISSUE. I submitted my show on the 15th, host received 5 boxes on the 23rd, and the 3rd box had more than 15 items missing! I was astounded and felt horrible for my host and customers because they were guaranteed these...

Thanks. I was able to submit it tonight and I am worried that because of the amount of products, one or two of them might not come in one piece (or may be missing!) I will be gone for the rest of the month! Crossing my fingers! I did give her my contact info so I can submit the adjustments...

I wanted to share my news with people who would be just excited as I am....I really think my husband is tired of me talking about it!! My last show for Dec. is standing at $1655 right now! I only had two shows lined up this month and it's amazing that I will be closing the month at more than 2K...

Re: bummedI had a last minute multi-vendor event opp that opened up to me on Thurs. I took it for the same reason, boost my SAT sales. We had a total of 4-5 people walk through the door. None bought from me (mostly bought from the host who sold candles). Total waste of my Saturday----oh well...

Here are pictures from the show! I had a very small table so things kinda got cramped. Hope to help!
