Does anyone know if you can register your own show? A lot of consultants in my cluster are doing cooking shows or open houses of their own this month. I looked through the rules and didn't see anything, just wasn't sure if it would raise a red flag if I put my name in the host spot.

Shouldn't be a problem. I did it for my show in August and we won. It was a mystery host party, so the host I picked got a knife and so did I (as the consultant).

How did you register it? Did you put yourself as the host or did you put mystery host as the host? :confused:

I put myself as the host with my phone number.
 
Hmmm...Thanks for the heads up on that one Deb. I am doing a Kids in the Kitchen one on Saturday. If my new Recruit comes with me and we get the call, I'll give it to her! WOOHOO!

I figured my Host who changed her Show this morning to a Catalog Show to close on Friday (at least it didn't cancel) would get the call tonight. My Host tomorrow night is very excited and said she had told her friends we could get the call! I hope her sales match her enthusiasm!

I know that but what happens on the phone call ? ? ?

:chef:
 
I registered all my shows, 2 more left, so hoping for a call :)
 
I have a show tomorrow night. Keep your fingers crossed!!:chef:
 
Still haven't gotten a call. Bummer!!
 
I registered all my shows and not 1 winner so far. I have 2 shows left to go.
 
I did a show yesterday and got the call! The show was a disaster, but the host was thrilled at wining! For me, it made it worthwhile since this host had been such a pain and was so disorganized. The show started at 12:00 and they called about 12:15 - about the same time her husband showed up with the groceries for the show.....
 
I won yesterday. Party was at noon and they called at 12:15, about the same time the husband showed up with all the groceries for the show..... the show was a mess but at least winning evened it out some!
 
but the questions still remains

What happen when you got the call ???

Did they speak to you?
or host?
the guest(s)?

:chef:
 
Didn't win here either. :(
 
Oh, I feel like a dunderhead ... I put my host's home phone and not her cell ... she just told me the only one that works is in the back bedroom so they never hear it ring ... I asked if it was possible to move it to another part of the house. I hate to banish her DH to the bedroom ...
 
didnt win at all. You would have thought with 11 shows I would have had 1 winner. But congrats to all those who won.
 
and the questions still remains

I know this is late but it is still making me sick.. I had a party on the 30th. The host is a friend but admitts to being somewhat flaky. I hd driven 2 hours for her show (she recently moved). I had host coached her about the promo but forgot to remind her at the show (mainly because I found out it was her daughter's birthday and I was cooking for it which I hadn't known). Well, she had everyone texting and calling her so unknown to me she shut off her phone. The show ended up lasting almost 3 hours (the daughter was turning 8). I was exhausted at the end! She called as I was leaving her town to tell me she had a message from PC saying to call back within 1/2 hour. Needless to say, we didn't win (but could have). I KNEW I should have used my cell number! ARGH!
 
OMG! That's awful!
All the shows I registered I put my cell number on it...
 
I did the same Steph, but no winning for me.

When one of my shows won in August they asked to talk to the host first- questioned her (I didn't ask specifics from the host) then asked to talk to me to verfiy information. There was no way they didn't know the show was going on since once the host knew who it was and told us we all started screaming and jumping around a bit :) I was also told to wait at least 2-3 days before submitting the show.
