Tonight is my first party!! I hope that it goes well and since it is with one of my friends, hopefully i wont be too nervous. I can feel the butterflies going at it already. I know that i will probably forget some things but i think that standing up in front of people selling Pampered Chef will be much easier than selling Pure Romance. Wish Me Luck!:)
 
GOOD LUCK!!!!! You'll do great! The products really sell themselves!

Don't forget to have fun!
 
GOOD LUCK!!!!!! Remember we have all been where you'll be tonight and we made it SO will you....Pamper away*********
 
Good luck!!! Have fun with it and if something gets messed up, just make a joke out of it. I get some good laughs when I make fun of myself.:) Let us know how it goes!
 
I hope it went well! Let us know how it went!
 
Good Luck!!! tell us how you made out!:)

Just to let everyone know that I made it through my first party unharmed. The total sales so far are about 394$ and she still is getting some outside orders and there was one lady there who wanted some stuff but she couldnt remember what she had at home already. I also got 2 possible bookings, i will be calling them this weekend to see when they want to book. My next actual party is on the 17th and i also have a few catalog shows in the works. Thank you to everyone for your support, you all are wonderful.
 
Great Job Laureen~! Any bookings? ;)
 
Congrats on your first show success! It gets easier with each show plus it's easier not in front of freinds and family (for me anyhow). Good luck to your new business!
 
Good job! :)
 
Great Job!! Did you get any bookings off it?!
