Great outline, thanks for sharing it. Everyone should have a show plan so that they get the most of what they want at every show. Booking, Sales and Recruits. I might suggest that you do your host coaching by starting at the $700 level. Then go to the $1000 level Your guests and hosts will aspire to the first number you say and make the second one a bigger goal. By talking in terms of $700 shows, your average will go up to $700.

Lap pads...? What are you referring to when you say "lap pads"?

Lap boards are used as a firm piece of something for people to have to write on and keep their catalog/order form/DPDS all together. Kind of like a clip board, just with a pocket on it instead of a clip.

I want you to know I used this format last night with a bit of tweaking, and this finally seems to be the format I want to use! I came out of there with $484.50 thus far in commissionable sales, and a party booking by someone who couldn't make it. Show is still open yet. I was SO much more relaxed last night using this format. I have tweaked my format about 5 different times. LOL!!! THANK YOU!!!

Just curious, do you only talk about the products your are using for the demo? I normally go through the catalog and briefly talk about stoneware, knives, cookware and maybe the outdoor products are some other grouping and then do my demo. I like your outline, it seems like it would take a lot less time and I sometime feel like I am too boring and maybe talking too much. If you are not using cookware or stoneware, how do you fit that in (or any other major category)?

I really like the "picture this" way of describing the host benefits. That makes it so easy!!!!!

You can also easily make your own lapboards. I took 3-ring binders with the hard bindings, and cut off the front/back flaps. You just have to be careful not to cut too close to the cardboard that makes up the flap (cut closer to the rings). And make sure you get 3-ring binders that don't have the rings attached to the back flap! I made that mistake, and could only get 1-lapboard from it. Around this time of year especially- you can find deals on 3-ring binders with back-to-school.

I personally stopped using them because they are just too bulky for me to mess with and most folks weren't using them. But maybe I'll start taking 4 or 5 for those that DO want something.

Thank you! As someone preparing to do her first show, this sure will come in handy and help with the nervousness and flow of things!
