:love::love::love::love::love: I brought my laptop to my first show tonight and I LOVE IT! It's one of the best business choices I have ever made. It was great to be able to enter in all the orders right there and not have to worry about coming home from my show and doing it. It was great to have the right product total. Plus I got to talk about how PC was able to help me purchase it. The ladies were all surprised when I told them that I promised myself the new laptop with my first $1000 paycheck of the year. To be able to make that much and splurge on something, it felt good to "brag" about it.
 
Congratulations! It is wonderful taking your laptop with you to your shows. I remember the fist time I brought mine with me after I received for Christmas.

Great way to putting a little recruiting scpiel (sp)!:)

Have a great night!

Additionally, I utilized resources from Pampered Chef to ensure I was well-informed about the products I would be showcasing.

What were some challenges you faced during your first show?

One of the main challenges I faced was managing my nerves and ensuring that I stayed on track with my presentation.
