Way to go! One of my first $1000 shows started with about $400 in outside orders. Have your host call all the guests and remind them to bring a friend!
 
Congrats! That's awesome! It's always nice to have a motivated host who gets outside orders!! :)
 
Wonderful. It's great when you have a host who gets it.
 
Yeah! It's always better when you know you have a show to submit BEFORE you leave the house!!

i had the show and it was great she had over a 100 dollar show pluse what she had before the show and a few more outside orders to come yet. so it should reach over 500 dollar show.
 
Isn't it just awesome when that happens. I love supermotevated hosts like that. I actually just closed a show today that was $700. the outside orders she had before the show actually tied what we had at the show. I was so excited! Not to mention all the guests are going to get all of their products super quick because we were able to close right away!
