I just returned home from the Bridal Shower I had today......WOW!
I know my best Show Total shows $5000 - but that was a fundraiser that I worked on for a whole month.

I consider today to be my REAL highest show total! $1525! I knew it was going to be good when I walked in and was handed $700 in outside orders! Oh - and I have 3 bookings! First time EVER that I have had bookings at a Bridal Shower!

With this show, I now have made the $3000 level - and I have 2 shows and 2 catalog shows still to do/close for this month! I was so pumped all the way home, and then I got here - and everyone is gone:( so I had to jump online and share my excitement with all of you!
 
Way to go Becky!!!!
 
Woo hoo! Congratulations!
 
Yeah! Go Becky! That is SOOOOO awesome. I only have about 3 shows this month so it'll take a small miracle for me to get to $1500, but I'm having I'll get to submit 2 shows this month...

...but your excitement makes me happy - good job!
 
P.S. I saw the title and now I have the song going through my head...

"O Happy Day O Happy Day, when Jesus washed, when my Jesus washed, my sins away - O Happy Day"
 
Congrats!!!! Both are great for you!
 
Congratulations! Great job, great month!!!

This was an "Accidental" Booking! I'm almost afraid to call my director and let her know (she is on vacation until Mon though). She GAVE me this booking! This was the only day the hosts could throw the shower, and she was going to be on Vacation, so she called and asked if I wanted the booking! My director is so incredibly wonderful - when she gives a booking, it is totally! All sales, bookings, recruits, etc. go to the person doing the show.....but this one is almost too good to be true!

I'm still on a high! And my wonderful DH? When I told him, his comment was "Wow!.....so are you gonna get paid for it before we leave for vacation?" Gheesh! MEN!
 
Congrats! That is great :) Let me guess, the host actually put in the invites that there would be a PC lady there to take orders? a=Amazing what a little cooperation can do!

The really amazing thing is that both of the hosts had never been to a PC party before! There were several people there who had never been to a PC show! I think that is part of the reason it was so much fun too - they would ooh and aah over every little thing....(and of course the bride was doing most of the demo, so they were hamming it up for her!)
 
Great! Did you collect personal orders from the guests as well? How do you handle entering the show in to PP... do you do two separate orders, one for the personal items and all of the other stuff collectively on one for the bride?

I use a Bridal Order Form I found on here, along with Tasha's wonderful labels with the products and order #'s on them... I actually give everyone a 5x7 card,and pass around the labels and they peel off what they would like, and then at the end of the show, I give all of those to the bride so she can delete them from her registry.
 
Congrats!!!!
 
Way to go! Sounds like it was quite the profitable day for you, and like you got your foot in with a good circle of customers.
