Just so you know, I didn't start really selling cookware until I had been in the business for a year. I just didn't know that much about it, and never really talked about it at my shows. You're so far ahead of the game if you're thinking about it and talking about it now!! I was kicking myself after I finally figured out that people will book shows to get cookware and other expensive items, and that I probably missed out on a year's worth of bookings by not talking about cookware. Hang in there - you're doing great!! Now that you've gotten that first show out of the way, each show will get easier from here on out!! WAY TO GO!

Yes, next time eat something, though!! LOL! I'm racking up my points for the SS cookware and the one piece I don't own of the Exec. (the 12Qt. Stockpot!). Good luck and HTH! cathyskitchen said:MMMM - Malibu BayBreezes!! I've had quite a few of them myself this weekend!
You have until the last day of the following month to submit a show, so if you hold a show in September, you have until 10/31 to submit it through P3 for it to count as a Sept. show. So, if your friend is having a hard time collecting orders and needs a little more time, date the show as a Sept. catalog show (9/30) and close it by the 31st. I never give anyone a closing date of the last day of the month, though - that's just asking for P3 to konk out on me or for my wireless connection to take a crap on that exact day. I always give myself a cushion of a few days, so tell her she has until 10/27 to submit it at the latest. Make sense?
And yes, any purchases made by hosts for cookware count full-price points towards pan-o-rama, through November!! WOOHOO!
