I just called my hostess to see what she finally choose for her recipe so I could pack for tonight and she wants me to make the Clubhouse Chicken Squares. So I say okay, great(Because thats what I made for my show last night so everything is in the dishwasher) but then she tells me that we need to double it because she has 19-20 people coming now!!:D Yeah! I proceed to tell her that she got one order online for $52 and she said yeah, I have about $200 sitting here right now! :D :D What? Now I'm cloud nine and need to get my butt in gear so I can get ready for my show! I'll let you know how I do!!!:D

Okay Cynthia, my grandparents live in Woodsmere subdivision!! Too weird!

I just got back from my show and she had 12 people show up and the average order was $27. :( She had $150 not $200 in orders so my show is at $481:o Oh well, it's more than I had before!!!:D
 
Wow that is weird!! My folks live in the very first house on the corner to right as you pull in there!! It's a yucky pinkish house!! Graduated from the Rock in 88!! Too funny!!
 
Hey Kristi like you said it is more than what you had before. Must be such a let down though after your big shows the past few weeks.

Yes, there are still more outside orders so that's good. I REALLY want to turn in $4000 in sales this month so we'll see!:D

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if my hostess cancels last minute?

If your hostess cancels last minute, it's important to stay calm and flexible. Reach out to her to understand the situation and see if she can reschedule. If not, consider contacting guests to inform them of the cancellation and offer an alternative option, such as a virtual party or a different date for the gathering.

How can I support my hostess in preparing for the party?

To support your hostess, provide her with a checklist of items to prepare, such as inviting guests, setting up the space, and preparing food. Offer to help with the setup and provide her with promotional materials or samples to share with guests. Communication is key, so keep in touch leading up to the event to ensure everything goes smoothly.

What if my hostess is feeling overwhelmed?

If your hostess is feeling overwhelmed, reassure her that it's normal to feel that way before a party. Offer to take on some of the responsibilities, such as organizing the guest list or providing additional resources. Encourage her to focus on enjoying the experience rather than stressing about every detail.

How can I encourage guests to place orders during the party?

To encourage guests to place orders, create an engaging and interactive atmosphere during the party. Showcase popular products, offer exclusive party discounts, and share personal stories about how the products have benefited you. Additionally, consider running a fun game or incentive for guests who place orders during the event.

What should I do if my hostess is shy or reluctant to engage with guests?

If your hostess is shy, help her feel more comfortable by encouraging her to share her favorite products or recipes. You can also take the lead in engaging with guests, asking questions, and facilitating discussions. Remind her that her enthusiasm for the products will help create a more inviting atmosphere, and offer her support throughout the party.
