Okay... I did my Bunco Express show last night. It was the WEIRDEST feeling leaving there... didn't have a single order in my hand and didn't really know... other than the host wanting the roasting pan, if anyone intended to order. I DID know that one gal already has a show scheduled for Dec. 7 ... with my recruiter! 
The actualy quick demo that I did went very well I thought but of course they had to eat and get on with their game. Knowing that I wouldn't be touching most of my things because it was all done already, I made a sheet up ahead of time with each recipe I had made and EVERY tool that was used along with the page number in the catalog where it could be found. That was, I guess, divine intervention. ANYWAY... I was trying to be quiet while they played... which is silly because it was LOUD! I went back in 3 times because I just felt I was forgetting something but loaded up and said goodbye... with assurances that we'd close on Friday.they ALL kept a catalog and order form...... I Forgot my table! Good thing the gal hosting the Bunco is my SIL. She passed on the host benefits to her Bunco cohost which was very kind. Well... I went home with this weird feeling of not knowing if any orders would materialize but my SIL called me later, told me EVERYONE was impressed and loved the format and were THRILLED with the "Items Used" sheet to refer back to ( I had printed one for everyone) One gal said she just had to have the new carafe so that gets a a good boost toward qualifying as a show... Anotehr gal there who is a former host and a great customer, told them all about my monthly newsletter after I left and said how wonderful and informative it is and I was SO thankful to hear these things and that they were looking forward to receiving that as well. Sorry this has gotten so long... it will indeed be interesting to see where this show ends up! I think I may be implementing the "items used" sheet at a regular show and see how it goes. My SIL has hosted quite a few shows and she said it was SO helpful to her.
