Hey Guys!! I haven't been on in the past 4 days because I had a really crazy weekend with shows but I wondered how everyone's March looks. I have a kick-off show for a new consultant tonight (she'll sign next week:D ) a show tomorrow night in the very rich neighborhood (In a whole nother thread!), the Strawberry Festival on Saturday and a Home show on Sunday. Needless to say, I won't be on here much for the next few days. After this weekend, my next show is not until March 29th!:eek: SO, I'm making a few phone calls today to get my schedule looking better! I'm calling all those people who had the UM or The cutting board on their wish list! I hope to get another 5 bookings.

Where do you guys stand with your March?:confused:
 
I am hosting a show at my house on Saturday cuz my two shows this weekend postponed.

Then next weekend, we have a leadership retreat.

That means I don't have my real first cooking show of the month until the 16th!

I have two catty shows that will hopefully go in to earn the HWC stuff then I'll be in the clear for the midseason stuff. It would kill me not to earn a sales promo. :)

We'll have to do some creative scheduling in April as well with Easter and the San Fran trip.
 
I have one on the 31st.
I have really been pushing, I would LOVE to earn those mid season products!!!!
 
Right now I've got 5 shows scheduled for March--1 catty, 4 demo. I'm hoping to add a couple more to the end of the month with my next show.
 
My March looks good, thank goodness! I had 4 cancellations for February! Only ended up with 2 shows! :( UGH! For March I have a booth at Youth Fest, an Open House with other vendors, 6 cooking shows and 1 catalog show. :D
 
I have 5 shows for March 5 in April and so far 1 in May I wont earn the HWC items but I should earn the mid season products
 
My March is booming as I only ususally do 1-2 shows a month. I have two to submit today, & cooking shows on the 5th, 10th, 11th, 16th, 24th and 31st. I only have one for April so I am going to show the trifle like crazy at my March shows and hope that people book in for April.
 
I started with a bang for my first month, but so far for March, I have one catalog show, and 3 definite cooking shows. Still trying to get one potential hostess to confirm a date....we'll see, guess i better get dialing too! But I'm addicted to this site!!
 
Amy- I let myself on ChefSuccess only after I make 3 calls! It works wonders!
 
I have 2 shows for sure and two maybes. I really wanted the apron but I am pretty sure Im not gonna get it. :mad:
 
I have 5 shows for March, 3 demo and 2 catalog. I'm trying to get a couple more cooking shows. I already have 5 shows for April, so I'm liking how that month is shaping up.
 
I have three scheduled so far but I'm scheduling them between 3/15-4/20 so I can get the free items. If I get more than 3 I'll start them earlier in the month if I can.
 
I WILL earn the HWC stuff & apron & mid-season stuff!! What a great company to work for!!!

LOVE your outlook......I'm gonna adopt that! I WILL earn those products too! Gotta get cracking to get that 3rd show for the apron though...........
 
My March looks pretty pathetic right now. I have one catalog show going, and I have a wedding registry (the wedding is on the 10th). I am closing a Feb show today (need those points!). I was offering in my newsletter the March host special for free if people booked. I have two definite parties for April, one maybe. Other than that, I have had no luck. People who I call don't call me back and won't set dates.
 
I have 7 cooking and 1 catalog show for March...I really need 3 more, so hopefully I will get those booking for later in the month at my show this weekend and next week. I want to do 10 shows per month every month...so I need to get busy!!

Great Job guys! I have that same attitude Gillian! I WILL earn all those products FREE!!! I will not buy them!!!;) I'm hoping to get my 3 shows done within the next 3 days! My first show is tonight with 12 confirmed and my show for tomorrow has 22 confirmed~! Yeah!:D I also hope to get orders on Saturday and Sunday. We'll see what happens!:D
 
I have one show in, one catty closing today, and my cooking show on the 5th. I hope to have them in my hands soon after!!
 
I have 6 cooking scheduled (hoping for a couple more--calling tonight!), and 2 catalog. Plus, I'm doing an open house & a ladied fair booth.
I too, WILL earn all the freebies:D
 
I'm still waiting on my kit, but I have a cooking show scheduled for the 17th of March and 2 catalog shows scheduled. I also have one other possible cooking show and one other possible catalog show. :)
 
I never wear an apron and hate them, but I am not going to settle for not earning the HWC one!!

If you REALLY want 1, I'll earn 2 & give ya 1.....:p ;) :rolleyes:
 
I am 1 show away from earning the apron, so I will make it. I am just trying to save some shows for the mid-season stuff. Is it held & submitted March 16th- April 20th, or just submitted?

I'm not sure, let me go check.....
 
It is held & submitted... bummer! I have shows on the 10th & 11th that won't count for either award (I will have already earned the apron with my show on the 5th)
