It's your recruiters job to help you get your first shows & help you get started in this business. I would absolutely suggest you take the outside orders you already have & submit them as your first show, or maybe split them up into smaller shows - you'll qualify faster. I just signed 2 new consultants this week and turned over 7 show leads to them to get them started. My job is to help them be successful! I started in a similar way ... decided before my show that I was going to sign. Fortunately, it was before I mailed my invites so I scaled down my guest list & saved my closest friends for my grand opening. Maybe you can talk to a few of your friends about waiting for your grand opening and do another show in a week. You mentioned that you moved recently. Call all your old friends/neighbors & ask them to help you by hosting a catalog show!!
Good Luck!!!
Good Luck!!!
