So I went last night to my show and when I got there the host said I have 672 dollars in sales and I want 1000. Woo Hoo and Caching right.
Well not so fast my friend........seems the consultant namely ME......:angel: Who sent out the invitations put the wrong date down.......... Now I always mail one to the host so not sure how she did not catch it and I coach for her to contact everyone to remind them. 5pm the time of the party comes and I begin to get worried as no one is there, 5:15 still no one and the host says are people usually on time? Well what do you say when you made the mistake?
Well at 5:30 her husband came back with the extra food that she was going to serve( she had never done and PC Party) and with him came the first two guest. Then she says lets wait for a little while longer for some more. She gives me the outside orders and I put them in the laptop. Well finally at 6 we get started and have 4 guest and the host and husband. I figure no way we are going to reach the sales she wants. But I will do the show and do my best.
The 3 Cheese Garden Pizza was a hit which is what she wanted and we demo'd the knives and chopper. Oh by the way all of the guest at the party have already ordered in the 672. But 2 add a chopper.....ok well we are at 725 roughly still a ways to go. I countinue on the show. I have a bamboo set that I sell( it is a hit at the farmers market) (large serving tray, large bowl, claws, 4 snack bowls, retails for 120.......sell for 105) well one of the ladies adds that, then we get talking about the bamboo serving spoons she plays lets make a deal and I offer a deal to sell them, and that adds another 27 for her. After everything is said and done she comes in at 1015......
So I was sweating because I thought well if these ladies are buying all this am I going to be able to get a booking out of this? Two bookings as well..... So I am well Extremely happy after all is said and done...... And I qualify for that ohhhh so GAYYYYYYY APRON! Not sure what to do with that it really is not very manly at all but that is another posting all together.
