I love my job!
I had a show last night that was a booking from a fair at a local mall. I didn't have a chance to do a whole lot of host coaching with the host, but I did call and check in with her. She would just never stay on the phone with me long enough for me to feel like I really coached her.
She scheduled the show with her regular ladies group--they get together every Friday or so--and they didn't invite anyone else. It was just them. I felt like I was being booked for entertainment.
BUT...the show was awesome!! They were so attentive, asked TONS of questions, and were just SO nice!
There were only 6 ladies there plus the host, then one neighbor dropped by just as the demo was done and she placed an order. We are at $523 with 2 catalog show bookings and 2 cooking show bookings plus probably one more cooking show booking to come.
As I was wrapping up with her, she told me the best thing. She said she appreciated that I kept in touch with her and that I called to check in. She said she could tell that I love what I do and that I take my business seriously. What wonderful validation!!!
I just really feel blessed. Nov is awesome, I have FIVE shows for December, and I already have five on the calendar for Jan and three shows and a fair in February. If anyone wants to book me on a Saturday, they get January 6 or March 3 at this point!
Now to go hit the ground running. I have two shows today. I have to leave for show #1 in 40 minutes.
