I just got an email from a friend of mine who lives about 1500 miles away. He has just moved into a new place and has decided to start his Forged Cutlery collection! He's sending me a check so that I can start ordering for him! Woohoo!

When I signed up, I contacted all of my online friends by email and told them about it and asked them to take a look at my website. They all said it was too close to Christmas, but after the new year! I completely forgot about them until my friend emailed me tonight!

WooHoo!!!
 
have him do a catalog show for you :)

I tried that, but he just moved into a new city, and said not right now, atleast not until he met more people! I'm still working on another friend though. He really wants the whole FC set, but can't afford $400 in one shot! He told me he wasn't the sales kinda guy, so I told him to talk to his GF, I've talked to her and she could sell ice to eskimos.
 
Start contacting those who said "after christmas"!
Good job!
 
This is a Good NIght for PC partiers....I just got off the phone from talking to my MIL...she got 2 bookings from her current party..YAY!!!!

woohoo! I was trying to put a quick show together for some family that wanted some things, but I was about $50 shy of a show, but my friend came to the rescue and I made a show of it. I love it!
 
Way to go!!!!

thank you! I think it was the little bit of a boost I needed right now. I've been in a funk with PC lately. I'm hoping that when the changeover kit and SAT products arrive I'll get all of my motivation back!
 
That's great. I love those serendipitous moments.
