Now that it's a host only item, I feel kind of weird passing out the recipe cards that call for the DCB. What do you say?
 
All of the recipe cards I include in my guest packets still have recipes for the DCB. And I have not adjusted my show either, all of my shows still feature it.

How about when you want to give out recipe cards to out and about contacts or a booth...they weren't at a show to see it and be able to listen to you talk about the benefits. I'm just wondering if there's something great to say to people as I give them this recipe card.
 
Yes, I give those as well when I'm doing booths, usually I have the DCB at my booth and if they ask about it, I tell them that this product is what is used to make this recipe. You could put a little sticker on the recipe card stating something like "host a show and get this featured baker for only $42!" or something like that.
 
Hi there! I completely understand where you're coming from. It can feel uncomfortable passing out recipe cards that call for a host only item. However, it's important to remember that as consultants, our main goal is to provide our hosts and guests with delicious recipes and cooking tips. If the host is interested in purchasing the DCB, then that's great! But if not, we can always offer alternative options or modifications for the recipe. Our ultimate goal is to make sure everyone has a great cooking experience, regardless of the products used. Thanks for bringing this up and happy cooking!
