Gillian,

That is so awesome. And thanks everyone for the input I never thought about doing a "consultantless show" But I guess I did do one by accident one time when I was scheduled to pick up my college son from the airport and his flight was delayed, his luggage arrived but he didn't. They certainly had a concerned mother on thier hands. My other kids thought it was funny. I was stuck 2 1/2 hours away so the host herself went ahead and did the show. I'm still trying to recruit her. And you're right if the host does the recipe and shares the info it is a cooking show. Hope your feeling great soon!

That's debatable.


Sorry- it was a perfect set-up and I had to go for it. :)
 
Thanks all. This is very helpful. This might help me keep bookings that are more than 30 mins away from me if I can give them this option. I could even send them a PC recipe to make!

I have been feeling a lot better, but I am scared that it is going to come back! I have had more energy lately which DH appreciates. He likes when the dishes get done and he gets done, LOL! Sorry, had to throw that in there!
 
ROTF Gill! I know what you mean and I'm not even preggers!!! Sometimes it's all I can do to give DH a little "attention"...

He had been suffering because in the morning I am queasy, he works all day, and by the time I get the kids in bed it is NOT happening! I have been so tired! He was excited to get some "attention"!
 
Gillian,
I did a show from my hospital bed before, it was a $1,000 show. The host just put me on speaker phone and I talked about products and answered questions.

Just another idea for you to toss around.
 
BTW congrats on your recruit!! It sounds like her membership here wasn't a waste after all.
