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!

Personalizing your outreach and following up with potential customers can also help increase order volume.
How do outside orders contribute to my overall sales as a Pampered Chef consultant?
