I haven't had a show since the middle of May and was a bit nervous for my show last night.

It was awesome!!! Over $700 and she's going to try to get to $800 from people at work today.

I'm so psyched!

And she and her sister (who was my last show in May) are both getting the 7 piece Executive for $150!! I'm so excited for them!
 
WOO HOO Lindsay!! Way to go. That's awesome! Did you get any new bookings??

I got 2 "maybes".

One is her sister again and the other has catalog shows sometimes.
And her sister marked "maybe" for the consultant part - YEA!!!

I have 3 more shows this week (2 this weekend and one Wed) and then 6 shows in Oct and 2 in Nov. I'm good with how Sept and Oct are, but I could use more in Nov and need to get some catalog shows for Dec and Jan for "maternity leave". I forgot to mention that last night though.
 
Definetly mention it in you customer care calls. When I took my "maternity leave: in the last part of march till the middle of may (c-section) I found that people wanted to help me out. Often times they would say "Well sure I can help you, all I have to do is collect some orders?" I also offered to buy the hostess special for them if the show was over a certain amount as a thank you from my family.
 
Way to go!!!
