Wow!!! That's a REALLY good return on those 40 invites you sent out. Way to go! I usually don't have that good of a response with Open Houses. It sounds like people want to support you in your new business, which is great! Did any book shows off of there? I just did a Mystery Host thing and chose two co-hosts to split up the benefits a little bit and they were both SO excited. The funny thing was, they were two people who decided to book shows (and actually gave me dates!) and they won! They'll have a lot more stuff coming to them when they host their shows.pchefpatti13 said:
