I met a Tastefully Simple rep. back in September at a booth I worked. She booked a show w/me. Since I love Tastefully Simple products I decided to repay the favor and have a TS show.
I worked really hard to get people here and had 10 show up (out of 30). I was happy. My sales are at $350, but I have some outside orders to come in yet. I'm hoping to get to the $400 level.
We tasted 18 products - very yummy. I do think it went a little long. I think I may tell her that when she does the party for me this Thursday, but I don't want to offend her. Does anyone have any suggestions? She did the spicy type food first and then desserts. She passed one at a time around and said what page it was on, etc. I think what she should do is pass each one around of the reguar food, but then let everyone taste the desserts on their own. That way she can start taking orders. She had a line up because people wanted to leave. I don't want her to think I don't know what I'm talking about and I don't want her to get upset w/me. She has been selling for about a year. I'm thinking about not saying anything to her about it, but asking her for advice on my presentation (which I really would like feed back). Then when she gives me advice, she may ask for some. If she doesn't ask for any I won't say anything. What do you think?
We were talking while she was packing up and she said she really wanted to sell PC, but her husband wouldn't let her because he said she would spend too much money. We started talking about commissions, benefits, etc. and our benefits are much better:love: ! She said she has to pay out the host benefits out of her commission. Plus she has to pay for all the samples. I told her about the incentives we have and she said their incentive was to get an ornament if they sold $2,000 in a month. I tried to convence her to move over to PC we we will see if she decides. I don't think she wants to give up on TS yet, but maybe she will think about PC in the future.
Let me know if you have any advice on giving her feedback or talking her in to selling.
Thanks,
