    Get Spooky and Silly with Friday the 13th Fun at My Upcoming Show!

    How about doing the Pam Perchef meets Margaritaville show that I just saw posted. What could go more wrong than having the kitchen consultant murdered at a show?! Sounds fun.

    Looking for South Beach Diet Recipes?

    OOO... make the cheesecake with the nut crust. Yum! Our deluxe cheese grater grinds the nuts for the crust perfectly. Anyone on this diet will love the cheese grater.

    I Know Some of You Have Said That When You Do a Fundraiser for an

    I've not heard of doing this either. But I think what you are saying is that you would be the host. You would donate 15% out of your commission to the charity leaving you with 7 or 8% you could still let the charity chairperson (cohost) buy the host special but you would get all of the free...

    What Do You Wear to Increase Sales at Parties?

    I've been wondering too.I've given this some thought lately so I'm glad that you brought this up. In the past I've kind of worn what I thought the host would be comfortable with. If the host is very jeans and T-shirt relaxed that's what I wear. If it is a professional person I'll dress up a...

    What Do You Give Your Host as a Gift From You?

    Monica, I know what you're saying. I hate it when one of my hosts doesn't get what they want. I personally can't afford to get it for them but what I do is help their show along a little. If a host is like so close to their goal I'll tell them to call everybody and tell them they are so close...

    Hi All,I Need Your Help About a Show I'm Having at the End of Oct.

    I agree with Wendy. I've been in the same situation and when money is short you need versitle tools to work with. The micro rice cooker would be my #1 choice to show these people. You can cook meat, veggies, potatoes, rice, cake, pudding, brownies, soup, just about anything! I just did a show...

    Frustrated with Lack of Bookings? Learn How to Boost Your Party Success!

    BookingsI was in the same boat. What helped me was in the way I worded things. I used to say things like, "If you book a show..." Now I say, " When you schedule your show..." During the presentation I talk about the theme shows I offer and stress how incredibly fun they are. I explain host...

    Can I Get Your Thoughts on This Show Idea?

    I agree...The men encourage the women to spend more. I would also suggest that you read the thread under product tips-US&G before you decide to let your guests use it. There are some real horror stories there. I did a show where I had teams make different recipes and it went really well. I had a...

    Hey Everyone! Question for You Guys...i Just Earned Ss2 Which Came

    Since we're sharing ...about these incredibly sharp kitchen tools I've got to tell you what happened to me at a show. It wasn't the US&G it was the cute little Quickut knife that comes with the bar board. I was using it and someone asked me a question. I barely grazed my hand and it nicked a...

    Never Pre-Judge a Potential Customer

    Kim...Are you married? Or do you have a boyfriend? The very best way is to have him talk to them. I always encourage my hosts to invite spouses and tell them my shows are men friendly- no guy jokes. I heard that women spend more if their husband is with them, because he encourages her to buy and...

    Opportunity Knocks When You Least Expect It..

    I'm curious again...It amazes me how many different things people sell at parties. I had no idea until I started doing open houses and meeting all these people. What does private quarters sell? I'm thinking bedroom linens and things. Did you hear any good lines during the presentation that we...
