I had an absolute blast!! Can't wait till next show! Wish it was tomorrow!!! I sold $900 in products and 1 booking! I wish i could have gotten more bookings but I'm so happy for what I got!! :)

Funny story: this old lady came to the party and wind up purchasing the most, but i towards the end I asked if anybody had any questions or comments; she starting telling everybody what she was buying and why and who it was for; i thought she was through and so I said I'm so happy you came and that it was nice of her to buy that stuff for her family; she stops me and says: I'm not finished!! Everybody busted out laughing!! So she continued to tell us about all the products she already has!! Finally she finished and I told her thank you for sharing that with us!! It was so funny and helped me to relax!!:p
 
Sounds like your 1st show was a Huge Success!! Congrats. Whew-aren't you glad that is over with-LOL!!!:thumbup:

Yes, it feels good to get the first one over! I'm a little bummed about only 1 booking!!
 
Remember, one is better than none!Great job!
Maybe you need to have that old lady come to all your shows. Or you need to recruit her. :)
 
Make sure you follow up with each guest. Give them a call and let them know about the cookware special in September. Sometimes a little incentive can get them to book like an extra inexpensive gift. You can add it to their order that way it won't cost much anyway with the hosts discount.

That lady was absolutely hilarious!! I told her after the show I needed her at my parties! The funny thing is that she would probably do it!!
 
Sounds like she would make a great consultant. You should try to recruit her. You never know unless you ask.
