An email I shared with my team!Titled, "Make the Best Out of Every Situation!"
Hi all!
I want to share my experience of last night's show with you.
My host decided to have her show at a community center is Dawsonville. Originally we were going to make the BBQ Pork Tenderloin Salad. However, we decided against it because we did not know if the microwave oven would be large enough to hold the Deep Covered Baker. We were told the center had a full kitchen complete with stove top and oven so we decided on the Tangy Pepper Pecan Brie and the Turtle Fudge Skillet Cake (I don't normally make two recipes, but I wanted to show off the skillet).
The show was to begin at 6:00 p.m. I arrived at the location at about 5:20 so we could get set up and do all of the prep work. The host was not there when I arrived and when I called her, she told me no one would be there to unlock the building until 6:00. She arrived a few minutes later. So we sat at the picnic tables to wait for everyone to arrive. Most of the guest arrived before 6:00 so we all sat and chatted.
A couple of minutes after 6:00 the person arrived to unlock the doors. The guests helped set up the tables and chairs as I carried in my products and supplies. The kitchen was huge and had a beautiful oven and stove. I was getting quite excited! Then my heart kind of dropped as we learned the gas was not hooked up so we could not use the oven and stove top. Time for a little quick thinking! Luckily I brought my Deep Covered Baker and it fit in the microwave oven. So instead of cooking the Brie in the oven on the Large Round Stone with Handles, I cooked the Brie in the microwave. I was told by a couple of the guest they liked it a little better at the last party, when the Brie was cooked in the oven, but it still tasted good!
In the end, everyone had a great time (including me!!!). I got a definite booking on my calendar for November, a great recruit lead and a show of about $500.00. This show was put together in one week, so I am absolutely thrilled with the results.
Now the reason I am sharing this with you is for everyone to know that sometimes a show will go very smoothly and sometimes it will not. However, if you think things are not going the way you want them to go, put on your best smile, crack some jokes and just have a great time. Your positive reaction to a situation that is not ideal will have a huge impact on your host, guests and your entire business! If they see you taking everything in stride, they are more likely to book with you, join your team and share how great you are with their friends!
Thanks!
