I justed closed my highest show!:sing: Now while a $700 show isn't much for some of you :D it's a big one for me....I do catalog shows primarily due to hubby & kids so the sales usually aren't that high, but decent enough. Now this particular show was...well, let's just say the host worked her bottom off. When we originally did the show(a cooking show at her house), there were only a couple of other people & very low sales...about $87:cry: In the next 2 weeks we went from having a non-qualifying show to a show with $700 in sales.:eek:

So, somebody pinch me...I still can't believe we salvaged this show, let alone got the sales total we did!:)

Actually she used to be a consultant. :) She also has a nail salon (which is how I met her) she runs & decided not to sell PC anymore but she's a repeat host for me...does a show a month for me & with her nail business, I've been able to widen my "circle" over the last 6 months.;)
 
How exciting for you!!! Great job!!!
 
Congratulations!BTW, don't compare yourself to others. Demographics, style, experience, etc., make a lot of difference. You've hit a high mark for yourself. That's what counts.Again, congratulations!
