First Show Tips: Making it Fancy or Keeping it Simple?

[luvlabs]

I just started in December and have my first show in a couple weeks. My first shows are with friends who have had them before with other "experienced" consultants. Do I try to make it fancy or just stick to the basics since they are my firsts?

I know that is a pretty easy question to answer but they keep mentioning that they did this or that at another party so I don't know if they are hinting to get me to do that extra stuff or what.

TIA!!!

My first advice would be to stick to the basics until you can do them in your sleep, then add extras. Second, I would recommend that you talk to your friends one-on-one about what they thought. Ask them for candid feedback (and listen to it politely), and use that to determine what you should tweak.

I'm with Noora. Another bit of advice I always give is to practice out loud. It plants the words in your brain in a different place when you hear them.

I used the flip cards they give you in the kit, for my first month of shows. I let people know I was new and it also shows those thinking about the business, that PC gives us so much training help.

Hi there! Congratulations on starting your journey as a Pampered Chef consultant! It's completely normal to feel a little nervous about your first shows, especially when your friends have had parties with other experienced consultants. My advice would be to stick to the basics and focus on making your guests feel comfortable and having a good time. If they mention things that were done at other parties, you can always take note of them and incorporate them into future shows if you feel comfortable. Just remember, the most important thing is to have fun and showcase the amazing products we have to offer. Good luck with your first show!
