Great Show! but I'm a Big Doofus Head!

[ChefJWarren]

I had a large show yesterday afternoon. I knew about 15-16 would be in attendance. My husband has been sick so I had been running around like a chicken getting things ready and trying to care for my two little ones.

I got to the host's house around 2:15 and started setting up. I realized that I had forgotten about 4 important products! Darn!:grumpy: I didn't live very far from the host so I got everything ready - products set out, cattys set out, etc. - and then told her I was going to RUN home! I knew that I would be back at probably exactly 3:00 (the start of the show).

I went home, got everything I needed and then headed back. I got to her house at exactly 3:04. I walked in and ALL 15 PEOPLE WERE SEATED WAITING FOR ME!!! When does that ever happen!!! All guests on time!!!

I was so embarassed! Well, I profusely apologized, did my intro and everyone was very relaxed and laughing.

Ended up with a $900+ show!!! Guess they know I'm human after all!

I think that worked to your benefit, it shows that anyone can do the job and you are human. I agree that I have never done or been to a party where everyone was on time. You must have had a bunch of PC junkies on your hands.

Out of curiosity what did you make for the party with that many people and was it an interactive show?

 

[ChefJWarren]

I didn't do interactive. We made the chicken fajitas in the DCB (double batch) and Triple Citrus Mojitos.

How cool was that! You just showed your dedication to the business, to your host and to them, the customer.

I'm glad I'm not the only one! :blushing: I got to my show late yesterday too and they were all there. Weird! But good!

I've done that twice... I was lucky that both parties were close to home...

I did a party a couple of months ago, and called my husband about 4 times to bring me things I forgot (he waited at the house until I said 'that's really and truly everything'). The host's husband bought the wrong kind of canned pumpkin. Another consultant who was at the party (friend of both me and the host) ended up doing alot of the kitchen work for me.

Was not only a good show, but the host is my recruit, and she's on fire!

I've been there as well. I seem to always forget something, BUT I also always end up leaving something there as well. I feel like I've lost my mind.

Once, I wrote down on my calendar a show started at 3:00, but the host put 2:00 on her invitations. I even told her on the phone I'd see her around 2:15, but she didn't say anything to me over the phone. Imagine my surprise when I get there and everyone was sitting in a circle in the living room waiting for me.

Jessica - I'm really glad your show turned out great though!!!
