I met Michelle at a show in October. it was her first PC show and she was pretty quiet. She hesitantly agreed to host in November.

When I mentioned the opportunity to her, she wanted to explore it - she asked a lot of questions and expressed concern about talking in front of so many people.

Her show went well and we continued talking.

She signed January 5 and we did a cook and book training Jan 10.

She held her first show, a fundraiser, Jan 17. Sales that day were over $600. She said that once she started the recipe, everything felt natural.

She's closing her show today - over $1,000 in sales! :sing:

Excellent work Susan!! Congrats for your new recruit too!!
 
congratulations! And what a great story to share with potentials who are afraid of speaking in front of others!
