Side note on CC calls: I called left a message, then emailed my past guest re: her order and she actually called me back! She just wanted to thank me for checking in on her products and she said she would be interested at a later time to do a catty show! So it just goes to show, CC calls can only help! Even if it's just them feeling greatful that we are calling to check in!

I sent out that email Kristin posted...only to 3 people so far and 2 have booked! They both said "of course I'll help you out!" so I'm really excited! I've tapped out most of my friends in the past 2 months so I'm only going to send it to 3 more people, but I did make some phone calls and got another catalog show out of it. I'm really desperate for 2 more bookings before FEB20 (the end of my SS program). I have a show on FEB15, FEB18 and 2 catalog shows. Plus my friend said probably FEB11....I don't know if I'll be able to book 2 more before then!Now I'm rambling...
