I would appreciate any input/suggestions/critique/praise :angel:
Here is my plan for my debut.... please let me know what you think, if you have any tips, if you think I should do something differently.
Grand Opening Friday February 29th. In the invite I say "There is an extra day in the month of February this year, why not spend it doing the things you love most? Hanging out with friends, shopping, and eating!
I am having two show times. 2:30 pm- I am going to push attendance with this one on my family, Aunts, Mom, Sis, and other friends who are home during this time of day. And 6:30 pm- I am going to push attendance on my friends and family who work to "stop by on their way home from work".
I am sending out the invites Wednesday. With a follow-up email on the 20th. I will make calls the week of 2/18 and 2/25 to get RSVPs. I will send a reminder email on 2/28. I am inviting 75 people. I am hoping for a firm confirmation for 20 at the 2:30 show and 20 at the 6:30 show.
I plan to make a dessert at the 2:30 show and serve coffee. I plan to do the veggie pizza recipe on the bar pan for the 6:30 show, with some other appetizers to go with and wine for the 6:30 show.
I am setting up my computer room (my house is small, so we will not be far away from the other guests) as the place to tally orders, talk about booking and recruiting. I am going to tell each guest, that even though they are my friends and family that I am going to go by the book as though they were strangers. Ask to book, ask to sell- EVERYONE, so I get used to hearing NO. haha.
I was also thinking of having the short recruiting DVD playing on my computer while we are going over stuff. I don't expect them to watch it, but might catch things here or there to grab their attention.
I am also thinking of entering this as two shows, if it works out ok as far as sales. This way it will go towards the 4 shows for the extra PC dollars.
Now lets hear from you Seasoned Consultants... what am I forgetting, what should I change/add?
Thank you Thank in advance for responses!
