Help Needed: Cutting Down Show Time!

[missyciccolella]

WOW Rita! Those are some great tips!!

My Director (an Exec) says she asks a guest to help with the clean up by washing her tools, stones etc and in return she offers a gift to that person. She never goes home with dirty tools and says the guest is eager to help.

My shows average 2.5 hours (in the door & out the door). I only demo one show and offer the host the option of a 10 minute micro cake or pre-made trifle. If the micro cake that is the first thing I do when I arrive. By the time my demo is done the cake is ready to invert and serve. I consider the cake/trifle as my gift to the host.

I figure I spend most of my time at the check-out stage discussing each guests order with them, offer cross-sell items and giving booking and recruiting info.

I take most of my dishes home dirty, except bigger items like SA large bowl or skillets, because it is easier to wash them and put them back in my case instead of cramming them in the crate.

I usually only bring the items required for the demo, any new item or host/guest specials, and one piece of stoneware, cookware and SA.

I've been thinking of paring down my kit to include ONLY the Starter Kit - and whatever the host bonus item is for the month I am trying to book. I'm thinking it could be a good recruiting tool too - I could talk about how everything I am using comes with your kit when you become a consultant....and how easy PC makes it for you to start your own business.....what do you all think?

I'm with you on this all the way!
