Did my 3rd show for March last night, I had the beginning of a migraine & was fighting nausea. The host had been very hard to reach, didn't know what I was making until Wed. night, she had 20 people coming yea right :) (she only asked for 22 invites). so I think I was stressed & I just had a bad attitude and didn't want to go.
I take new recruit to train. Show starts at 7 by 7:15 I have 4 people so I start my intro, etc as soon as I get into the kitchen her garage door and front door opens and people pile in from everywhere. They are a chatty bunch so I try to explain everything again quickly.
left show at $700 she left OO at work, 3 bookings 16 in attendance.
Show Sat was $700 4 bookings, 1 recruit lead other show was $500 (4 guests all past hosts)
I am ready for SPRING BREAK!!
 
Great Job Teresa!! What a great turn-out! I betcha you were surprised when eveyrone started piling in!:D

I was actually very embarrassed because I had said to my recruit she says 20 people are coming I'm betting we have 7. I am usually not negative (especially with new recruits) but by last night I was drained and just wanted to be home!!
 
Wow! I would have freaked if I had those kind of turn outs!! You should be thrilled! It's hard going into a show when you really don't want to be there (feeling ill, or just plain don't care to do it that night, or whatever...). I would be extremely happy if I had that kind of turn out! People must really be impressed for you to get that many bookings if you were having a bad day! What kind of response do you get when you are happy to be there? I'm impressed! GREAT job!!
