My wife came home from her CPA firm and said they wanted to have a Tax Day party, inviting lots of different folks.
She said there would be about 5 people from her office there - so not much for sales prospects, but they asked if I wanted to come do a cooking demo of some kind.
The gal who invited me tends to have grand ideas that become expensive for other people; I don't want to come as the caterer or something. I guess on the good end, there could be 8-10 people who come check it out, but on the bad end, it would be a funky kind of office party.
I know they have a microwave, so I'm rethinking this that maybe I will go, and do a chocolate miracle cake for them, or maybe a Strawberry Margarita cake - Duncan Hines mixes are on sale this week for $1 each, and it would be a way to aim toward a HWC booking or two, perhaps.
Two questions:
1 - should I do it?
2 - How do I get sales or bookings out of it?
I guess I could go and give a recruiting spiel and that anyone who needed help paying their taxes, or who wanted to write off their grocery food bills as a tax writeoff (we can!) should look into this business. What are your ideas?
