VENT I just got an email with New Video with Tips for Booking and Selling. I have to say that while it does offer great ideas, I feel suspect. Offering your guests how to cook and save, bringing the family back to the dinner table etc is fantastic - IF that was all we are doing. I am finding no real problem getting parties - my issues are that NOBODY is BUYING squat!I felt like I kicked myself in the foot playing the "find the items under $10" game at yesterdays show - that was ALL they bought~! 10 ladies, 6 orders, an additional outside order I got personally and the show STILL doesn't qualify!!They loved the party, they loved the theme. I got praise galore. People wanted to learn more, they were enthused at the concepts that the video is suggesting I do and share BUT the ladies in my area are tighter than scrooge!!I know some areas of the country are still able to turn some really great profits with PC but I am finding that out here they will not let go of that penny! I don't know if I am not doing it right or it's the demographic or what. I joined PC to MAKE MONEY and get out of the house away from the kids. I bought my kit, the the kit enhancement, then more catalogs, some items from the supply and outlets for door prizes and incentives and am NOWHERE NEAR making any money! I know that several say to wait before you buy but I felt that I could encourage and make shows more fun and such, plus ya need catalogs and such right? I am probably sitting somewhere at 300.00 IN THE HOLE and seeing a trend of me doing MORE work for significantly less money. :grumpy:Yesterdays party that isn't yet even a party took me: 1 hour for prep, 1/2 hour to shop for ingredients (yes, it was a free show), 1 hour to and from the location, 2 hours for the party, and an additional 15 minutes to enter everyone into the system. Nearly 5 hours of work. IF that qualifies I made
a whopping $30.00! That is LESS than minimum wage in CA!! :cry:I have two parties tomorrow and I am afraid. I don't want to do all that work again only to yield in people who will take my door prizes, eat my food, walk away empowered with knowledge I gave them, and buy NOTHING or next to nothing.
