This is so true. My Saturday host was on top of things. The problem? A week after she sent out her invitations her church announced a hot dog social for the same day at the same time. She had 3 guests, her mom, a friend, and the friend's MIL. We'll close the show on Thursday, which will give her Wednesday night to catch up with some of her church friends. Right now her sales are just over $400 and at least 1 booking. You read that right--3 guests $400. it's all about the follow-up, including making sure your host has the words to use to ask for orders and bookings. Asking seems easy to us, but many, many people have no idea what to say, which makes it seem intimidating.
