How Did Nikked Transform Her Show Routine?

[nikked]

So, I had an "aha" moment last month, when I realized that I was NEVER going to be able to do shows like I used to do, at least until hubby gets a new job. He works until 6ish, and has Tues. & Weds. off, which doesn't lend itself to a show!

My "aha" moment was when I realized that God had led us to our new home, which has the PERFECT layout for shows. Had my first show today at my home. I'm promoting that my hosts don't need to do any extra or special cleaning, because I do it all for them. Everyone seems really open to it, got two bookings and a recruit lead. It was nice being in my own kitchen with all my tools. Nice to be able to rest before cleaning up. Nice to have everyone leave instead of leaving myself. It was just plain nice!

Love that I have a job that allows me to be creative and figure out how to make it work for ME. And I have a STRONG recruit lead! In the middle of the show when I mentioned bookings, she said "I want to book and I want to do what you do!" So cool! Calling her tomorrow at 10...

Just wanted to share!

I LOVE doing shows at my house! I have a perfect teaching kitchen and I don't have to worry about rushing to get home

I'm glad it is working for you too!!!!

I'm still working on it. But, I talk about how much I love that I work for a company that encourages me to be creative and lets me do what works me. I mention hubby's work schedule, and then state that the good news is that when they book a show with me, there is no extra special cleaning required. They get to come to my house!

Everyone so far seems to really like it, but of course we're just starting out. I do have 1 day a week I could do at their house, but that's a Tuesday. So if someone is really a stickler for doing it at their house, that would be the day. Our town here is really spread out, so I could see that being an issue if someone lives on the West Side of town. I'll cross that bridge when I get there

Calling it the "No Mess, No Fuss, Let Me Do the Cleaning" show...

My recruit lead from Sunday is coming to the meeting tonight. Had a good call with her and SD yesterday. Planning her Grand Opening on the 23rd or 30th (will fine tune that tonight; she's closing this week on a house and moving next)... she's gathering orders and working on bookings so she's ready to roll once agreement is submitted. EXCITED!

Thank you for sharing this wonderful idea. How are you dealing with the grocery & paper supplies purchase?

 

[nikked]

I'm buying paper products in bulk, I have the hostess bring the drinks, and I have the hostess give me $10 to cover the food costs (because I figure it's easier than having them transport it, and I'm controlling more what recipes I'm making, so I can buy in bulk when I can)... so far it's working. Have another show booked for Monday, then one for Friday.

I have done this before too... Curious what you do with your family. I usually ask mine to leave when everyone arrives because while I have a large kitchen, the rest of the house is small and on one floor.

Well, usually, the kids are here when the show starts due to hubby's work schedule (which is why I'm doing the shows at my house). Hubby quietly comes in and changes, then handles the kids. We have a large house with a play room just off the kitchen, so the house lends itself to this, I suppose.
