Hello! I am brand new here and have my kit arriving tomorrow! My grand opening is Saturday with my recruiter. I have read many recruiters say they just sit back and provide feedback after- but I need her help for most of the party. I only attended one show and was late. The recipes we are making I have never done and don't even have the products to make it in... Can I ask her if I can stand with her but "study" how a show is done?

Thanks!!
 
I definitely would ask her! Just tell her what you just said. Most would have no problem with it and completely understand. We all want to succeed, NOT flop!! I usually do my new recruits first show for them. At their next few shows, I sit back until and if they need help.. Congratulations and Good Luck!!
 
Yup, one of my recruits came with me to a show prior to her kit even arriving and mostly observed, helping with things as I went along and asked her. I know my recruiter offered to come to my first several shows and provide any support required.
 
CONGRATS!
As a recruiter, I try to help out as best I can and do whatever my new recruit asks for in the form of help! I would definitely let her know what is going on and express your concerns. The first show is always the most nerve racking, just remember to let everyone know that comes to the party. They will be understanding! Remember you do not have to know everything, but make sure you find out the answer to all of the questions. Good luck!BTW know that there is no question that you may have that is dumb....If you don't know the answer just ask.
