Way to go! I can't wait to get to this point. I've done 2 cooking shows and 1 catty, trying to get something together for qualifying in first 30. Disappointed I do not have any bookings for July. I want to do more shows I had so much fun! I did get alot of maybes but no confirmed dates. So great job!! Did you do it by games or just by asking?

I just spoke about the upcoming specials for July and August. I told them that in order for todays host (Beth) to receive the monthly 60% OFF special, I would need to mark them in as a booking. As the guests were checking out they had checked on the order form yes, and wrote the date in that they wanted. I pulled out my calendar and just filled it in. The one guest was going home with catalogs and order forms because she wanted one of the 60% items for June. The show is almost $900 and three more people were placing orders still!!
I was upset in the start of my biz, because everyone I called to host a show would say NO. This show was my hope for change and it's looking good!!!!
