Had to toot my own horn!!! :sing:

I booked a last minute party that had a host and co-host that held last night... well, I was kind of worried because she only gave me about 11 names on her guest list and they were all family.

However, I sold 3 deep covered bakers and one lady had never heard of Pampered Chef and ordered $138+ just to get her sister's show to the $300 level so she could get a half-price item and a 60% off. Then she wanted to put the rest of her order as a catalog show. I didn't get home until 11PM!!! and she lives across the street!!!!!

Plus, both hosts and co-host ordered stuff with their discount! All in all it will be about $800 in commissionable sales!!!!!!!!!!! I'd say it was worth it!

Re: Hooray!!!My hostess for tonight just told me she was having 20 people! I'm totally psyched! Last nights show was rough, so I'm looking forward to tonight. And I have a bridal fair tomorrow - I've never done one, wish me luck!
