Becky, have you heard back from the host, yet?

NO!:(

Do you think she's mad at me? I'm beginning to fear the worst.

Do you think you can do a Chicken Power Cooking Show if she's doesn't want to change the date?
 
I probably could do it, but I'm not in your actual cluster. Wouldn't you want one of your consultants to do it for you?
 
I think you better call her again. She could be freaking out or trying to ask all her friends if they can do a different date. Just leave a message saying again how sorry you are, but that you really want to talk to her about it.

Yippee! Hooray!!!

I just came home and checked my email - and she is moving her show from the 20th to the 17th! YAHOO!

I'm so relieved. Now, what can I do for her for being so flexible and understanding? Any ideas?
 
That is wonderful, Becky! I am so happy for you!!
 
Do you have an extra product that you don't need? Anything you offer her is unexpected, so she will be pleased.
 
Yes I agree with Jae, she has a good idea about giving her a product she isn't expecting maybe something you are going to use in your demo or even the new christmas cookbook. I am glad she was able to move her party for you so you can get that special time !!!!!
 
If you don't have the extra product you could always offer her any item up to $X amount for free and put it under her hostess discount as a "hostess flexibility gift"!!

I am so happy for you that this worked out. I saw them at Radio City Music Hall in 2004 and was AMAZED!!! You will love this. I had the opportunity to go see them again in Buffalo but can't, I have a vendor day show and a cooking show that night and the following day is my Gram's 80th birthday and my mom is throwing her a party. Besides, I kinda don't want to see them again unless it is at Radio City Music Hall!!
 
You could give her the Flexible Funnels for being flexible herself. :D(Yeah, it's cheezy, but funny.)
 
That's great Becky!
Cute idea Ann! I agree though, anything you have extra laying around; she'll appreciate I'm sure.
