Just wanted to share an email I just got from a fellow director on the team regarding her first time last night doing the Dice Game...I know this thread is about the Stealing Hearts Game but since I had mentioned it earlier, thought I would share this:
"The dice game was great. It really worked. I really really was skeptical. I book a lot of shows, generally, without a gimmick. So I really didn't feel I needed this. Then yesterday, again, our upline told me about this and challenged me to try it at my party last night. So, when I left work I made up the envelopes and ran home and put some items into my Wahoo Orange bag to use as my Goodie bag. What I put in there were items around $5 -- mini whippers, your favorite spreader, small whisks, zester. I got there and didn't have the small ridged baker - but figured if someone did get the "2" that I would add it to their order. No one did.
I told them the Grand Prize was the ridged baker (which we had talked about earlier - so I hyped it again). Then I told them about the Goodie Bag and showed them what was in there.
I told them the rules -- that if they won the Grand Prize - they'd have to take the Ridged Baker! ha-ha; same thing with the Book a Party - that they'd need to honor it if they won that; and that they'd have to take a Goodie - if they won that.
We had fun, when three times people rolled dice totals that the envelope had already been taken. I told them they could steal from that person and make them roll again -- or they could roll again. (Everyone rolled again for themselves).
I actually didn't think anyone was going to start the game -- then finally one lady did...then, before it was done - everyone except the host, past host and one lady who already has a party booked with me for next month rolled.
Then I said -- before you open your envelopes I am going to sweeten the deal. And I offered the ridged baker for free at their party if they'd hold up their envelope and commit to a party right then and there -- no matter what was in their envelope. All but one did that (lol - too bad -- she got to have a party anyway! lol).
So -- bottom line 6 parties booked.
NOW -- the amazing part -- every one of those people came up and had a date/month already in their mind. One for February; two for March and two April; one summer."
