New to me anyway. At our last meeting, our main upline director (sorry to say I don't even know what level she is...nobody ever told me!) demonstrated a show for us that she has been using. She says her sales have increased dramatically by doing it. I don't remember if she said or not, but I would imagine her bookings have too. This is what she does...
First, she says that everybody is going to get a name tag and that she already has them written out. As she calls off the "name", people can say if it is them or not. Does this until everyone has one. But the "names" are things like "Microwave cook", "Burns water cook", "Drive-thru cook", "I just bake cook". All sorts of creative names like that describing different kinds of cooks. (she's supposed to email us the labels she uses, so i will post when she does.)
She explains that this is something new and different she's trying and to prepare to have fun. And she explains that since she's done these recipes many times, she is letting them do the work.
Then she chooses 2 "head chefs" (usually people that have made the recipes before, if there are any). She then counts everybody else off by twos. So half goes with "head chef 1" and the other half goes with "head chef 2". She has them wash thier hands and then the two groups then prepare the recipes!
Her theme for January is "Ring in the New Year" so she is doing all rings. This is utilizing stoneware and they are fun to make.
I am going to be trying this at all my January shows because I think it is a great idea!! It really gets the guests touching and using all the tools, which is always going to sell more!
She says that people have so much fun and she always asks for feedback at the end of her shows, and has had only good stuff said. People really like it much better than just a demonstration. Especially the people that have been to a lot of shows!
I really can't wait to try this and see if it really has an impact on sales.
Sorry so long but I just wanted to share this great idea for a show! I'm sure some people may do similar things too. This is definitely more than just asking for volunteers. They are actually doing it!
