Booking Help ThanksYou all are so great. Thanks for all the ideas. Surely something in there has to work. I've had a bad few days (computer keeps crashing, husband gone, open house disaster, etc.) and this helped to cheer me up and give me some hope. Thanks so much. I love how we are all...

Booking helpYes I live on base. Yes, it's at Ft. Huachuca. I've tried the drawing slips thing before and it didn't work. So I really don't want to even try it again. I got one entry after two weeks and I couldn't even get ahold of her to give her the gift. I don't want to start on family...

Ok, here is my story. I just moved to my town and actually my state (for the Army) two months ago. I don't hardly know anyone. Meaning I know about three people. My kids are 9 months and 3 years so no activities or school for them so no contacts through there. My husband's company isn't...

Apple PizzaMy mother loves this recipe. She makes it whenever she goes to a party at a friend's house. I think she even got my hubby hooked on it too since he always wants me to make it for our friends. I plan on doing this recipe at shows. If you want more products to demo you can use...

Oops!I just realized my mistake. It's the guest special we can order not the host bonus. Duh. Mark it up to one of those days. Brandi W.

Booking BonusI thought we as consultants can order the host bonus anyway. It doesn't have to be a booking thing. And we can do it one month ahead. Correct me if I'm wrong. Brandi W.

US&GThe only tip I have (and trust me on this) ALWAYS USE THE GUARD! I was using it at home and sliced the end of my finger off. It was so bad I had to rush to the ER. Thank god it wasn't at a show. It's a great tool though. I use it when I want uniform slices like when I boil potatoes...

Had to shareCongrats! It's such a great feeling isn't it? Brandi W.

Terrified of PhoneThere is a reason they tell you to make 3-5 phone calls a day. It works. They wouldn't have you out doing things that doesn't work. Just remember that. If you want your business to be better or to have more of it, then you have to use your phone. Brandi W.

Scared of the PhoneOne thing that helps me is to remember that they aren't stressing over you calling them. They aren't sitting there worried that you'll call. I know that sometimes I welcome people calling me. It's a nice distraction. But you won't really know how other people will react...

Monthly fairIf it were me, I would do it. You're not going to know how you would do unless you try it. It may turn out to be great for you. Then again it may not. I am doing a Taste of Home cooking show in November and I'm spending way more money to set up there than $70. But it's worth it...

Iffy HostTo be honest I probably would offer to pass the show to another consultant. It sounds like she is being difficult and if you don't want to do it then don't. Are you that despirate for a show that you will compromise the rules you've set for yourself? I'm not trying to be mean or...

Open House ProblemI can go off base to advertise all I want. But I can't invite them to my open house because if you don't have a military ID you can't get on base. On a bright side. I will be doing a Taste of Home Cooking Show at the beginning of November. So that will help me get...

Open House UpdateWell I went out this morning to pass out invites around my neighborhood. I went to 50 doors and only 28 people answered. Then I got a call from one of the people I gave an invite to. She is a consultant for another company. Apparently since I live on an Army base I am not...

What to do with extra productsI put my products in my kitchen and use them. This will get you good at how they work, give you different ideas on what you can do with them, and you won't have the clutter. When I started when I got something through super starter or whatever I used that item to...
