I've been slow going since I moved from TX to OH and mostly do catalog shows. Well I'm in the middle of one right now and it's going reeeeally badly. Any tips?
 
What's going on with it? She doesn't have any orders? She doesn't want to close? I had one that I was counting on being high this month - she wanted to get the SS Mixing bowl for her set. When I called to check on it, I was a bit shocked to learn that she had a death in the family, no sales, etc. That was 2 days ago. We chatted for a bit and I told her I could add a few "last minute" orders I received to push her up a bit - if she matches me - gets at least as much as my orders (which was only $50). I said to check with the guests from her show in March and see if she could get any interest there. We are closing it today and it's almost at $300 without my orders! So hang in there.

Also, there are some great flyers out there about catalog shows/games. Search under "catalog" in the Files and there is a "TicTacToe" game. I just sent them out to my new catalog shows for the next few months.

Hope this helps!

PC LottoHave you read any of the threads about the PC Lottery/Pampered Pool/$2 Chance Game on here? I think that sounds like a really neat way to boost sales and make somebody happy (by getting them free products). Do a search in the forums for this and you should find quite a bit of info.
