How did you get your mixing bowls to stack like that without nesting?

Those are awesome suggestions! I think I need to just get more confident about asking people for what I want. Even though I know it's not true, I feel as though I'm imposing somehow on people to "tell them how to be a hostess." I think by asking permission to give some tips it would really help...

That's what I want too!

Maybe now is a good time for me to ask about the Micro-Cooker. I've sold quite a few of these and quite frankly, I have no clue what the difference is between using the Micro-Cooker or just heating something in a bowl or tupperware. Help! :)

Wow, Damien rules! Such a thorough answer.

I get really frustrated too when this happens. The person has tons of options for outside orders, but no matter how much you encourage it you can't *make* someone do it. It's just a shame...they lose out on so many awesome perks if they'd just put forth a little effort.

Okay, so as of late with the whole "economy" thing my attendance has been significantly decreased at parties. I like to think I am clear with my hosts about how to send out the invites, how to encourage outside/online orders, etc. but I just don't think I'm doing a good enough job. Anyone have...

I just had a host like this too. She ended up canceling on me the night before her party. I hope your host isn't as bad as mine was :(

I think I'd be selling more if I didn't keep ending up with anti-stoneware people at my parties! I always have to diffuse that bomb and "tactfully" explain why this person is nuts :) haha

I like the idea of a Black Friday sale, but I can't personally see having all those different types of discounts for all the different times of day. I could never keep track of all that :)

I just made one and I can't wait to use it. I really need the visual to help keep me on track, otherwise I forget to explain the host benefits! I always *assume* people know, but trust me...they don't!

As far as only having a few guests at your second show, that can be worked around. My last party had only 4 people show up (there was supposed to be 17.) Just encourage your hostess to gather outside orders (help her brainstorm ideas of who to show the catalog to), it can make a huge difference...

Sweet! Thank you :)

If she'd like to use the host special you could encourage her to give it as a nice gift to someone for Christmas. I'm sure anyone would love to get a nice piece of PC Stoneware :)

Dang, does she have any other family you can send my way? :)
