I went to my first recruits first show. I let her do most of the show, and I just helped with any questions that anyone had. I did help her with the first receipt also. This ended being a small show with her nieghbor being the host, so noone minded.
I have a recruit lead and she said I would make her nervous, so I will just call her afterwards to see if she has any questions.
I started a thread about this awhile ago if you want to see it, here it is:

Hope this helps a little anyway. Good Luck.

I personally do a GRAND OPENING show for my recruits first show. She is the host - so she gains all of the HOST benefits. My thnking is that this is her way of getting bookings - what better way than to make her comfortable mingling with friends and family, handing out her biz cards, encouraging others to book -- while I brag her up and help with orders. They have been very accepting of the GO and I believe the New Consultant will gain confidence by watching what I do.
