Just finished my first show! The kick-off party was a great success- slightly chaotic at times ;) but everyone said they had a blast! Plus-- $600 show! Here's to keeping the momentum going! ;)

Best part was how everyone loves the products so much they practically sell themselves! Some of my guests were better sales people than I was! They were telling other guests: "I've had X product for so many years! It's great! You have to have it!" ;) Made my job easy!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I determine if my first show exceeded expectations?

To determine if your first show exceeded expectations, compare your sales and attendance numbers to your goals and the average for new consultants in your area. Additionally, consider feedback from guests and how comfortable you felt during the presentation.

What sales figures are considered successful for a first show?

While success can vary, many new consultants aim for sales between $500 to $1,000 for their first show. Exceeding this range can be considered exceeding expectations, especially if you have a strong guest turnout.

How do I evaluate guest engagement during my first show?

Evaluate guest engagement by observing their participation in activities, asking questions, and their overall enthusiasm. Positive interactions, such as laughter and conversation, indicate a successful show.

What feedback should I seek from my guests after the show?

After the show, ask guests for their thoughts on the products demonstrated, the presentation style, and any suggestions for improvement. Their feedback can provide valuable insights into whether the show met their expectations.

What should I do if my first show did not meet my expectations?

If your first show did not meet your expectations, reflect on what aspects could be improved, such as product selection, presentation skills, or marketing efforts. Use this experience as a learning opportunity to enhance future shows.
