Welcome Jessica! Where in Alabama are you from? I live in Florence! Maybe we live close!! Well welcome to this site and welcome to Pampered Chef!
 
WHoo HOOO....You cannot imagine how well this Chocolate Bliss goes over with my girlfriends....its like a drug! This may be my Open House theme! When does this theme begin? Is it out already? :eek: Im shaking like an excited puppy!
 
It officially starts September 1. But you can go ahead and show it before then, as long as you don't use new products.

BTW- most (if not all) of the dessert recipes in the Fall SBRC (Season's Best cookbook) are chocolate, too.
 
Yikes...This is incredible! My first shows wont be until September anyway! WHOO HOO!!!!
 
Jessica & Denarella, you should consider doing mega shows in your first 30 days to boost your sales and bookings. A mega show is where you invite multiple hosts (and their respective guests) to one location and have all the shows at once. Make sure to keep their orders separate (have the guest write their hosts' first name on their receipt or something) so that each host will credit for the sales from their respective guests. Have some food pre-made and do a couple fun games.. And then promote booking like NUTS! (there are things on here to help you promote). Good to see you here and glad you joined the PC family -- the amount of information on this site from the ladies and gentlemen here is astounding!!
 
You Go Girl!!!!

My advise is:

Just Keep It Simple.
Follow PC's guide for Host Calls, etc. No need to reinvent the wheel.
Keep Your Excitement. If your excited so will your customers (I mean potential Hosts!!).
