I am about to turn in my biggest show EVER!

Just went over it with my host today!

Show total: $1508.55 (including non-commissionables)
Commissionable Sales: $1209!
Free product: $265!

The hostess is a Meanoma survivor. They are going to make three baskets with the FPV ... a baking basket, a summer fun basket and a grilling basket.

Then I went to cash a check ... the bank lady said, "You sell Pampered Chef?" and they are going to do a book party!

This is so much fun!

(ETA correct totals from PPlus)

Well, you know, sometimes it just comes down to a very motivated hostess!This was actually 2 shows in one ... two friends put their heads together and invited everyone they knew ... 58 invites, 24 buying guests!So it's basically 2 better than average shows rolled into one ... before this, my all time high was $433!
 
CONGRATS!!! You'll have ALOT more dont worry....;)
 
YAHOO!!! I am so happy for you!!!!
 
Yeah you! Did you calculate your commission yet?!

Sort of ... but most of it is going to the American Cancer Society. This is an arrangement I made with the hostess because it was originally planned to help me win the HWC products.Held it open because it was continuing to grow.However ... I'm getting the override commission ... personally, I don't think I should contribute that extra 3 percent because it was not only her show that got me past $1250 ... also ... I've been advised by many people (including the hostess) to deduct my direct expenses, such as postage.
 
Great!AWESOME JOB!!!

May this be the first $1000 Show of MANY!!!! :) Way to go!

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do to prepare for my biggest show ever?

To prepare for your biggest show, ensure you have all your products organized and ready to demonstrate. Create a detailed plan for the show, including a timeline of activities and key points you want to cover. Practice your presentation multiple times to build confidence and ensure a smooth flow. Additionally, consider reaching out to your guests ahead of time to generate excitement and encourage attendance.

How can I maximize sales during my biggest show?

Maximize sales by offering exclusive promotions or discounts for attendees. Engage your guests by demonstrating popular products and sharing personal stories about how they have benefited you. Encourage interaction by allowing guests to try products themselves. Lastly, create urgency by highlighting limited-time offers or low stock on certain items.

What should I do if I feel nervous before the show?

Feeling nervous is completely normal! To combat nerves, practice deep breathing exercises and visualize a successful show. Remind yourself of your expertise and the value you bring to your guests. Consider bringing a supportive friend or team member along for encouragement. Focus on connecting with your guests rather than on your nerves.

How can I follow up with guests after the show?

Follow up with guests by sending personalized thank-you notes or emails expressing your appreciation for their attendance. Include a recap of the show and highlight any products that were particularly popular. Offer to answer any questions they may have and remind them of any special offers that are still available. This personal touch can help build lasting relationships and encourage future sales.

What are some common mistakes to avoid during my biggest show?

Common mistakes to avoid include being unprepared or disorganized, which can lead to a chaotic presentation. Avoid talking too much about yourself or the products without engaging your audience. Don’t forget to ask for orders or bookings; be clear about how guests can purchase items. Lastly, avoid ignoring guests who seem uninterested; instead, try to engage them in a way that makes them feel included.
