The host told me that ten people would be showing up for last nights show, but only four showed up. I thought the show was going to be a flop, but the host already had two outside orders and with the four people that ordered sales were over $600! I was happy with that. Plus the host said she was going to track down the six people that never showed up for orders. My hightest show was a little over $700, so this might be my highest show yet! Woohoo!! :D Oh and I got two bookings. One from Dec and one for Jan!

I'm up to three bookings. One for Dec, one for Jan and a lady that wants to host but she's just not sure of a date yet. This is just a hobby for me since I have a full time job. So I'm set for the next couple of months.
 
Wow!

Glad you had such a super show!

Your sales are great...and THREE BOOKINGS out of FOUR guests?!?!!! That is out of this world!

Push hard to have her reach $1000! If she a little extra help, offer her an incentive to get over $1000. You'll make over $200 in commission so giving her something would be worth it, plus you will have a kilo show under your belt.
