I had my first demo on Friday....I was nervous but it went great. I knew what I was talking about but felt funny because it was mostly family and friends. So far the party is at $600 and it's closing tomorrow. The host is waiting on two more orders. Not bad for my first show. :)
 
Way to go! That's wonderful!:D
 
You're halfway (almost) to qualifying!!! Keep it up!
 
That is a great first show! Way to go...
 
That's awesome! Congratulations!!:D

Thanks!! I've got two more shows booked for June and one Catalog show in the making. I hope I can make one of the bonuses too...hehe
 
You're off to a great start! Keep it going:)
 
Congratulations. Family and friends are a blessing when it comes to getting
you off to a great start. You will probably not be as nervous with folks you
don't know, so keep up the good work.
