Not sure if this is the correct place to post this but...

I'm a little worried about my show tomorrow night. It was a booking from a previous show. The host was on vacation this past week and I had no idea so I was calling and host coaching to her answering machine. So I was freaking out that the show wasn't going to happen. I called the past host to see if she got the invite and she told me she would be there.

Well the host called me this morning to confirm. I asked her how many RSVPs she had and she said 1. 1. I sent out 25 invitations. Hopefully people just diregarded the RSVP and will show up.

Here's my question. What can I do to maximize this show if it is only going to be 1 person plus the host? I'm thinking I need to rearrange my normal shpeil to be for a more intimate crowd. I was wondering if anyone had any hints or tips. I know small shows have the potential to be higher in sales. What can I do to make this happen?
 
This is where those reminder calls come in handy. Did the other guests say no or just not respond? This is also the time to stress outside orders.

I did suggest reminder calls when I talked to her. I like it when the host includes phone numbers because I like to do the reminder calls myself... gets me in on different level with guests. But this host didn't include any.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I'm feeling nervous about my show tomorrow?

It's completely normal to feel nervous before a show! Take some time to prepare by reviewing your presentation and practicing your cooking techniques. Visualize a successful show and remind yourself that you're sharing something you love. Deep breathing exercises can also help calm your nerves.

How can I ensure I have enough guests at my show?

Reach out to your friends, family, and social media contacts to remind them about the show. Consider sending a personal invitation or a fun reminder message. You can also offer a small incentive, like a raffle or a special discount, to encourage attendance.

What if I forget something important during the show?

If you forget something, don't panic! Take a deep breath and try to move on. You can always mention that you'll follow up with guests after the show for any additional information. Remember, your enthusiasm and connection with your guests are what truly matter!

How can I handle difficult questions from guests?

It's okay if you don't have all the answers! If a guest asks a challenging question, acknowledge it and let them know you'll find the answer. This shows that you value their inquiry and are committed to providing accurate information. You can also prepare for common questions in advance to boost your confidence.

What should I do if I don't make any sales during my show?

Focus on the positive aspects of your show, such as building relationships and sharing your passion for Pampered Chef products. Not every show will result in sales, but every interaction is an opportunity to connect with potential customers. Follow up with guests after the show to see if they have any questions or need assistance with their orders.
