I did a Women's Expo last Sunday. We brewed PC coffee to get people into the booth. It worked out great because they had to actually stand there and make the coffee which takes a few minutes. Plenty of time to start a conversation with them. We also had a drawing for a basket that had our...

Hay Laurel I know Robin. A couple of us went to a cluster meeting at her house last year. I live in RI and I'm in the Landy cluster. We are staying at the Hilton. Please look me up. Maybe we can grab a drink by the pool!! See you there. Lisa:D

Hi Monica, I feel your pain. This is my 4th conference. I was 6 months preg with #2 when I went the 1st time. I left my 2 year old with relatives and had a hard time with it. But afterwards I was really glad I went. My son had a great time while I was in Chicago and hardly noticed I was gone...

Yah, I do the same thing. After years of toting around catalogs I got tired of always giving and never receiving. Instead I wear PC clothing now and that always seems to spark interest. When it does, I tell them I would be happy to mail them a catalog and ALWAYS ASK if I can follow up. That's...

start calling right away!! Remember, it's all in the follow-up! Good luck!

You go Jayne!! However most posts I read don't say "I can't do it". They just know that it may be a bit unrealistic to achieve 10k in sales! No matter how much ATTITUDE you have. They all live in the real world as I do!! Sure I could hault everything else in my life. Book the daylights out of...

Just got news on the June Sell-A-Thon. It's HOLD and submit to earn the new Fall products. Also the amounts we have to submit have increased. It now starts at $1500 for the first level and goes to $10k!!!! There is also a recruiting/sales combo level. I'm trying to keep a positive attitude with...

A salad spinner, garlic keeper, more SI pieces in color (open stock), more open stock cookware pieces all have my vote!! I have been asked by a couple of my customers if we carry a cake slicer/server. Not the slice and serve. This is a product you use to cut the cake then squeeze the handle...

Not a bad ideaI don't think showing our products on PBS, or any other venue for that matter, is a bad idea. However not everyone's eyes are glued to the chef's tongs a cook is using looking for that hat logo unless you are a cheffer!! The show would also have to inform it's audience about the...

my 2 centsPersonally, I have been doing this for over 3 years. At the beginning shipments took longer, 7-10 days just to pack and ship. However it was rare to find something was missing or had broken on the way to my hosts. However, over the last year I've noticed a decline in both the...

That's the way it isYes. The $4 is charged regardless of the total for the merchandise purchased. The 15% is used onlywhen someone wants items shipped directly to their door. I've rarely had someone come to a show and want their order shipped directly to them. I have however, had instances...

If your 1st month SS was March, you must have SUBMITTED $1250 in sales by March 31 to get the 1st month bonus of free products. For you, April 1 began your 2nd month SS. If you did not submit $1250 in March, you unfortunately did not earn the bonus even if the show was held in March. That is...

The Strawberry Amaretto Pastries on the cover of the new SB are delicious! It's a SS recipe. You can use fat free cool whip and low fat sour cream. The puffs aren't that bad and if you cut them small enough, you will cut down on the calories too. In the "it's good for you" cookbook, pg 114...

Hit or MissYes, multiple vender events can be frustrating but also rewarding. I have done many of them over the past 3 years. Some have bombed! Some have been good. The ones that did poorly were the ones ther our group set up by ourselves. For our 1st event, we got a community hall ($0 dollars)...

Individual pizza's are a cute idea. However I personally wouldn't attempt it. If you have a large crowd, oven space and cooking time may be a factor. Everyone will be eating at different times or waiting for their pizza to come out of the oven. I would make one or two pizza's with different...
