Hey all, as you all know, I had my Fall Kick off this weekend, where I went Door to Door and GUESS WHAT!!! About 8 people came, 5 ordered, Sales were almost 500$ and I got 3 BOOKINGS!! YES!! It was worth the sweat and tears from freaking out at the last minute(hehe)!!! I do have to say, doing a show like that is wierd, because i didnt know what to do with my time.. but it all turned out great!

Can you tell me what you did at the show, please? I'm having one and I wasn't planning to do a demo, but I'm not exactly sure what to do...just walk around and chat with people and answer questions, show products?

Oh, and what did you take door-to-door? I only know 4 or 5 neighbors, and my best one just moved away...who loves PC...so, I'll be sending her a catalog!

Thanks for your help!!

OK, as far as the door to door.. I just sent a flyer i found on one of these threads, Fall Kick off.. You can search it in files, but let me see if i can copy and paste it..

OK that is the link i found it on.. i searched in Files for "Fall" and found this one and one other one that is less wordy. But I went door to door, introduced myself, told them where i lived(round about) and let them know there was a pc cons. in the neighboorhood, and asked if they would be interested in coming. Most said yes all though only one out of my neighbor hood came(and spent almost 200$$!!!!).. but one thing i would suggest.. PRACTICE!! It helped so much. i was much more confident!

Ok and the party.. My Director was there.. THank GOD!! I was like a newbie.. i had no idea what to do. But this is how it worked out..:

I thanked them for coming, told them what I will recieve for Hosting my own show, Then showed them Host specials, then told them they could get some food..(it was already prepared)
Then I asked if they had questions, then started going thru the new products. I started with Cookware, then Stoneware, then Simple additions.
Then I just fumbled thru the rest of the products.
Then i showed them my NEW WHY bag.. and that got them perked up, and then I gave prizes for bringing guests, then let them shop and talked with them.

Just another note. Be prepared, I was not, and probally looked like a fool. If my director wouldnt have been there, I would not known what to do. Just think of how you want to arrange your show. And you will do alot better than me.
But dont stress yourself to much, because when it was all said and done, they were just so excited to eat the food and see the pretty display of all the stuff.
But you will do great, and let me know how you do yours, and we can use each others tips!!!
