    The Cheese Cake Factory!I just love the whole Magnificent Mile! If you like to shop, you could spend your entire day just going up and down and browsing through all the awesome shops!

    What Do You Look at to Make It a $1000 Show???

    Comm. Sales...For the host reward program you look at guest sales. For our purposes (commission, etc.) you look at comm. sales. For me, usually comm sales is lower than guest sales because we don't get commission on the host special that is purchased by the past host but the host still gets...

    Maximizing Host Coaching Calls: Tips for a Successful Direct Sales Presentation

    My host for this Thursday just asked me that!This is the first time someone has actually asked me to keep it short in order to "keep her friends' attention." I wasn't offended but at first I did feel something weird! I think I'm going to do like AFWife says and prepare everything ahead of...

    Can't Get Host to Send Me Check - Help!

    I would go to her house tooThe only problem is what if she's "not home." I had this happen to me once before and it will never happen again! Like you said, it's best to wait until you have the money in your hands before you close the show. I know some consultants take a blank, signed check...

    Can I add unavailable products to a catalog show?

    You are correct, you cannot add these to her show. The exact same thing just happened to me! You have to tell the customers that the products aren't available until May 1 and then ask if they'd like you to order them when they do become available. It's an excellent "excuse" for keeping in...

    How Do You Prefer to Do a Show??

    I prefer one recipe...I feel like the night can drag on if you do more than one. I know everyone's as anxious to get home as I am so I try to keep it short. I explain the recipe but talk a lot about the tools I'm using and others that work well with cross selling. I always talk about cookware...

    How can mailing your Host Packet save you time and money?

    I like to deliver mine too and go over everything in person if possible. With busy schedules, it's often not possible to I just leave it in their door. When I have to mail mine I usually send it classified as "bound, printed material" and it is much cheaper. I can send three or four catalogs...

    Why Give a Copy of the Guest Sales Receipt to the Host?

    Using Outside Order FormsDo you get these copied off at Office Max for your shows in black and white? Or what do you find to be the cheapest way of doing this? I recently heard about someone else doing this and was trying to figure out which would be the cheapest route. I pay a fortune for...

    Choosing the Best Sales Receipt: Itemized vs. Write-In for Your Business

    Looks like I'm in the minority!I prefer the itemized because when I have used the write-in, several different customers wrote in the wrong amounts for their items and I didn't take the time to verify each item and didn't catch it until at home entering it into PP. Also, I like how the...
