Struggling with Hosts and Show Success: My Experience as a Consultant

In summary, the speaker is feeling discouraged about their recent shows, which have not been very successful and have barely made the minimum requirement of $200. They have some bookings for the fall but are considering giving up. Another person encourages them to keep trying and offers suggestions for improvement such as seeking help from their director and utilizing online and tele training. They also mention that the current slow season may be a factor and that things will likely pick up in the fall.

I just feel like I can't get a break when it comes to shows. I've done 5 (not many) since I started and my highest was under $350 ($200 is the CDN minimum for it to be a show). 3 of them just barely squeaked past the $200 mark. I've got about a half dozen bookings for fall, but that's about it.

My last show was a daytime show that was right after the host had a jewelry party. Her idea was to have guests stay all day and have lunch but she didn't want it affecting her evening shows. Half the guests had left, none seemed really interested in what I was doing and it just barely squeaked over $200. She's my MK lady and it made me uncomfortable a bit cause she can sell snow to eskimos and she seemed disappointed in the way we reward hosts.

Is it the season? Am I getting bum hosts? None of them seem to put any effort in, regardless of how much host coaching I do or how many times they've done a PC show. Is it me? I'm on the verge of just doing what shows I have booked for the fall and giving up. :(
 
It will get better... Don't give up! I'm in about the same boat as you with minimal shows, but I know I need to just get out there and get over my fears of talking to people. I love this path I've chosen and I'm determined to make it work! Whatever it takes... and as far as her being disappointed in our host rewards... is she crazy?!?!
I think it's the best out there! No it has nothing to do with you.. I think it's just the season right now.. people are busy vacationing and whatnot. I'm sure this will all start picking up in the fall... who wouldn't want our upcoming specials! They would have to be nuts!! Hold your head high and get out there! Be positive and eventually positive things will start to happen for you!

have you asked your director for help?
maybe go and watch a few of her shows as training?
do some of the online training and tele classes?
get some of the training cd's and listen to them?

keep trying fall will be better :)
