What is parties: Definition and 110 Discussions

I just wanted to let you guys in on what my new goal is. I'm going on today and tomorrow to find offices to host lunch shows. I'm going to set a goal to fill the week of June 23-27 with one show each day at lunch. My hope is to have 5 shows that week and be able to up my June sale average...

Do you find that summertime parties are better during the week as opposed to weekends?

I got invited to my first "passion party" tomorrow night:o My friend said she's having it for the fun; the last one she went to--all they did was laugh. I guess it'll be interesting anyway......anyone ever been?;)

Ok...I am personally having a Tastefully Simple party in a few weeks..and I'm kind of confused about the whole food tax..and was starting to question the food tax and how we, PC do it.. The TS consultant said that for example..if the food tax for a certain zip code was 0%, but the county tax...

I am a new consultant and got my first $100 PC dollars. I want to make some really good buys, things that I will for sure use at my parties. What can you suggest?

Ok here I go again... people book off of a party and host in the same month, the original host can get the host special for that month at each party whether it is 1 time or 5 times. The only limit is 2 host specials per party. Is this correct??? Just want to make sure I am doing...

:chef: What ideas do you have to initiate this? :chef: :) :chef: Love Linda's idea to bring a few extra aprons----:chef:

Has anyone here used any of their transfers or been to a party?. They look neat.

Snow storms here today .... had a huge fundraiser....15 people showed up (instead of the few hundred we were expecting). Tomorrow we have another snow storm we are expecting...I was expecting it to be my biggest home cooking party (12 people)....the roads probably won't be plowed in the...

I currently have no parties booked for Dec. or Jan. Everyone says they want to wait until after the holidays. How do I get bookings now?

I have a host that would like to do an online catalog show -- any suggestions for success??

Just made this tonight for the first time and everyone loved it! I am definitely making it for a girly party I am having this weekend! And then buying some more!:D :thumbup:

Question for all you experienced folks out there. We have 10 shows in October so several are right at the end of the month. If we don't close & submit them till November will they count for the Sell-A-Thon in November for new S/S Products or since the party was actually a Oct party will it not...

It's a sign that I am not meant to give up PC :) At the end of last year I had started with another DS company that I LOVE and with graduating this Dec and everything being hectic I had put PC on the back burner. Well last week my DH came home from work and asked if I was still doing PC...

Has anybody had succes being part of these shows with multiple vendors? I'm doing a show next weekend with Tastefully Simple, Home Interiors, some wine company and a purse/jewelry lady. I've heard that these are not very good for sales because people are dividing their budget among so many...

My little boys birthday is Saturday and I want to make beans to go along with the bbq. My aunt makes these really yummy beans in her crock pot but she is out of town so I can't call her. Do any of you have an awesome recipe for beans?

When someone marks the box about interested in hosting a cooking show, how long do you wait to call them about a date? I'm assuming I should do it right away?? This is the first time someone has marked the box that I haven't actually spoken to at the show. I was too busy being chatty at my...

Just wanted to hear any advise for a newbie. Still waiting on my kit but have catalog shows in progress and have a office party schedule. If you have any good advise or tips that will help me I would love to hear them.

I just ordered my start up kit. I am a stay at home mom of 2 and was wondering if anyone has any good tips for starting out without being too pushy, as I don't have too many friends in this area. What are some good tips for getting bookings at the my 4 initial shows?

Hey guys! My host from Friday night signed YESTERDAY!!! I'm so excited for her because she has 11, yes 11 people who said at the show they'll have a party for her!!!! Now she just has to get them on her calendar. I'm too excited to see my team grow! I LOVE PC!!!:D :D :D

WOw ! just had a great idea that actually worked! :D Let me explain...my niece is graduating in June. Her mom (my SIL) is having a huge grad party for her, and she also happens to be a huge Chillzanne fanatic. So, I called her just a little while ago, asked her how many adults(fam, friends)...

Okay, I am just starting my PC business and want to ask everyone about your experiences w/ swapping direct sell parties. Has anyone done it? Was it a success? Maybe "swapping" is the wrong word here... One of my best friends was going to do a catalog show for me since we live in different...

How do you all transport your products to parties? I have all my products in the big black bag I got with my PC Kit. Plus I have a crate with a few things inside a rubbermaid container for the dirty dishes! So basically when I leave I have three things! However, I just noticed my pot is...

I've seen alot of games listed on here that basically the person "wins" doing a PC party. I'm curious as to how many of you have had people upset about their "prize"? I know that in the past, when I have been at a party (not PC) the consultant had little "gadgets" that she passed around to...

I just received an email from a friend. Her friend is a PC consultant who has just been placed on bedrest and is looking for someone to take her upcoming parties. What is the best way to approach? Do I take the sales/commission, but not take any bookings? Is it mine outright? I want the...

It will make you appreciate how good we and our hosts have it! :) I won't go into the specifics of bashing another company, but my show order just arrived today and it is a mess. I have no bags to sort stuff, the page that lists everyone's order (for sorting) is hard to decipher, and one of...

Yeesh, I just did my second Friday night party in a row with a bunch of drunk guests. And like last week, no one was listening to a thing I was saying. In fact, they just ignored me through the whole demo. Finally, about half way through I just gave up. I said that I didn't want to keep...

I have a quick question - can someone book a future party off of their party so they can get two host specials in that future month? Maybe this will make more sense - my mom hosted a show that I need to transmit. She wants to host again in August and wants two of the specials in August. If...

Okay, so for the 2nd time in two weeks, I did my show to a string of Chatty Kathy's.....no matter HOW loudly I talked, they would continue on even LOUDER....LOL.... Last week it was a group of about 13-15 women (in and out and talking)..... I KNOW i should have better control of them, I...
