Ask them if they have a good set of knives at home, then talk about the forged cutlery. Or, ask them if they like to bake or cook, then focus on things that have come out in the last year in their preferred category. That always helps me to get them interested in the new products. If you're going gaga over the new silicone baking pan, but they hate to bake, they're going to completely tune you out. Find out what they enjoy, then go from there.

Haha!
Love that idea! Also, the spices and rubs are most likely new to them.
I think people think they have kitchens full of stuff and plenty of gadgets. They probably aren't PC, but still mean the have all they want. But they showed up to the party, so they must have some level of interest, right?! I think they are trying to challenge us, to prove what's so great about PC. We just need to point out the new, innovative items, and bring up the quality of things. My mom says she has it all, but then when I look through her drawers, she has things from the 70's and 80's that are falling apart or don't function as well as PC things.

I heard an interesting spin on this at conference, if I can communicate it. If they have it all, then maybe this would be a good time to get some of their shopping done. Do they have any Birthdays, Weddings, or even Christmas gifts they need to buy? Another idea I heard that I LOVE was when trying to get bookings, and they say they have everything they need, you can say "You have a wonderful opportunity here, you could 'gift' everything you earn to a favorite neice or nephew or even better is there a local charity that could use some new tools?" I thought about our local fire station, they would love new tools!!

This is what I have done at parties. I let it go - but not really. I wait (when the comment is made, I say, "Great, then you know just how wonderful our products are. Thank you for still coming tonight, and hopefully we can all learn from you.") THEN... Somewhere during the demo I'll pull out a product from a collection and say something like, "I love using my small Dots bowl for ice cream for the kids. It's the perfect size for them and they think the dots are so fun. It's their own personal bowl. Sherrie, what do you use your small Dots bowls for?" One of two things happens.
1. She doesn't have thebowl. Either someone in the crowd will point out that she doesn't have everything in the catalog and we all have a good laugh or I'll ask if she does have any items in the SA collection. I then start my SA spiel.
2) She does have the bowl. I'll ask her what other pieces she has and go from there, expanding on the collection so that she can add other pieces. If she really does have it all, then someone messed up down the line and forgot to ask her to sign
. I'd be happy to help with that!
Either way, it opens up to a discussion on a product collection, which is why I choose a stoneware piece, forged cutlery item, SA piece, cookware, etc.
