Well, technically *I* did not do level 2...the people in charge of this FR did it. I just did a little ole demo...the FR people are the ones who sent out a gazillion invites and put up flyers and stuff...I can't take credit for the high sales...one of the FR ladies works 3 different jobs and solicited sales from everyone she works with (she brought in about $600) another lady spent $700 all by herself!!

Don't I wish. The big spender is the mother of a sorority sister of mine...I let her know that if and when ever she may be interested she knows where to find me. Bad consultant leaving the ball in her court - oh well.
The 3-jobs-lotsa-sales-collecter is near impossible to get in touch with - works SO much she never answers phone or emails. I may MAIL her a recruiting info packet though....
 
Nice, congrats Carolyn!
 
Carolyn-

Quick questions for you. Do you pay to send out the invites for the fundraiser or did they?

And did you do a small demo and how many books do you give out. Just don't want to give out a ton of books for a small return.

Thanks-
Kelly V.

Also do you have a sample of the flyer you used for them to hang up?? I have a possible fundraiser coming up at my local YMCA and I have never done one before so I am not sure how it works.
 
Fantastic, that is great.
 
That is wonderful for both of you!!!
 
Carolyn, we are sitting at your feet--teach us everything you know.
 
Carolyn,

That is awesome. It feels great when things come together.

Congratulations!
 
Holy cow, Carolyn!! That's awesome!!!:D You got just about double the free products just on that show alone!!:D Gotta love those free products.
 
Great job Carolyn! Enjoy all those great free products!!

THEY paid to send out the invites. I printed the show info and my return address on them, I added a sticker that says "Can't attend? You can still place an order...etc..." with my web info.
I gave them about 15 catalogs AHEAD of time and brought enough catalogs so that every guest had a catalog and order form.
I did one recipe and the pass-around salsa (sold like 6 salad choppers!)
 
AWESOME!!! Congrats:D
 
Way to go!
