Kickstarting the New Year: My First Show of 2010

[Monty060609]

Can I get your input? I'm not sure if this sounds like too much or too little.
I am treating this show as my first one. I started back in October but I haven't had a live show since November. So I'm starting 2010 by starting over

(obviously I won't be able to 100% stick to the times but I'm putting them anyway)

3pm guests arrive
3:15 start cooking demo.
I'm making the 30 minute Chicken and the Parm Garlic bites (kind of a Dinner In No Time theme). At this time I'll also be sure everyone has a folder with catalog, order form and door prize slip.
4pm taste test and do booking slide presentation (which I practiced with my dog he loved it LOL)
4:15 do the FRANK game and explain how FRANK would help if they were to do their own show. First one to completely fill it out wins a prize.
4:30 do door prize drawing and then start checking people out.

My goal with this party is to get bookings! I honestly don't care if I don't get a single sale, but I need to get bookings or I'll never make it.

Just a quick question....will there be time for guests to play with the product? When will you highlight the benefits of our tools? I'm thinking it's during the 3:15 - 4 pm slot, but wasn't sure

The outline looks good....if there's fun and laughter, people will book.

Thanks.
Ya I'm putting out a 'spread' of tools and since the recipes are so simple and quick it will be during the demo/interactive part where people can use and test whatever they want

Perfect....I'd highlight some key items or your fav's from each collection. Include some benefits and ideas for the products you do mention. Also, be sure to use Full Service Checkout with each guest....you'll be surprised how many leads pop up just from that. Wishing you lots of bookings!

The only thing I would do differently is hand out the catalogs/order forms after the demo. That way everyone is paying attention to you ...
