Julie's philosophy is that our shows should be 70% fun and 30% product. (Not sure about all of you...but mine were closer to 30% fun and 70% product!) If your guests are laid back and having fun, your sales will be higher, bookings will be higher, and recruiting will be higher!
She also points out that our shows need to be easy to DUPLICATE! This has given me permission to have fun, and do a show that is almost the same each time. The recipe may change and my tips/product descriptions/etc. may change, but the basic layout does not. That way, those watching our shows can say to themselves: "I could do that!"
There is way more to her CD and her "amazing party experience" than these points, but it is WAY worth the investment to get her CD's! It was certainly worth the $30 I paid to see her!
Hope I gave you the info you were looking for....if not, let me know!

When I speak with authority on some things my husband dares to ask if I made the answer up! But as I like to say, with as much info as I have floating around my brain, it is deductive reasoning!

iteachurkid said:I would say Julie all the way. She did our March meeting and WOW was she amazing. I saw Belinda at conference last year and she was great, but I was able to duplicate Julie's ideas almost over night. I've started using them and I feel like my show are so much more fun (and I really have a good time). Just my two cents...have fun at which ever you choose
I second that everything in Julie's presentation could be duplicatible the next day! Following Julie's outline has helped to make sure I incorporate all aspects (sales, booking and recruiting) into every show that I do!
I did hear Belinda at conference and she too was amazing! I need to listen to her CDs again...
tough call! good luck!

Belinda is great but I found the same thing with Julie, I could easily do it and did. Had my first show last night tyring out the new "Julie ideas" and it was so much fun (for all of us). I look forward to my next show!

I have to say I saw Belinda at conf. last year & thought she was great, then I saw her the begining of this year and she was so much better. Part of it was I sat in the first row so I could see her facial expressions which is a must w/ her. But she was able to be more endepth than at conferce because she had 4 1/2 hours verses 50 mins. So I highly recomend everyone see Belinda & check her website, because sometimes she comes to your area for a general workshop.
Mandy I went last night going how can I squeeze this in this month. I am a spounge right now. If anyone has these CD's what do you think about them. I noticed that they have 3 speakers.
