Thanks Laurie! She is a great start to my team. Loves PC and is having so much fun doing it. And she's had 2 over $1000 shows! I only hope to be so lucky in the future and add even more to my team.

Wishing you lots of success and wishing some my way too! :D We may need to ask your recruit for the tips! lol

Glad you're starting off with a strong recruit, and super glad she's loving it! Doesn't it make you feel fab knowing you helped her find her way to PC? I want only those types of success stories to report!

Keep it up!

Thanks everyone for the great encouragement. This website is the reason I gave PC one more try (made the decision in Sept 08), and I'm about ready to close my second $1000 show in two months. I can't believe it. Disney watch out..... These Pampered Chefs are coming....

The only thing I can figure out is that I did not do interactive shows at either of them. Both shows were a "socializing" bunch, and I picked up on that as they arrived so changed it before I even started to a regular show where I do the recipes. They loved it. Course no bookings at either, but I'm working on that one.
