Successful Party with My Favorite Customer - Update on My Happy Dance!

[krzymomof4]

Well, I had my show with my now favorite customer. All I can say is WOW! She was so super sweet. Did the show for me to say thank you for helping her out. I was kind of nervous about the turn out for this show like I said in the previous post "doing a happy dance". To start off, she made tons of extra food (all PC recipes by the way), bought each of her guests a note card and a really nice dish towel to thank them for being there. I was almost going to feel bad for her because I knew she only invited 15 people and only did that by phone. I thought she was going through an awful lot of trouble and I was afraid no one would be there to see how hard she had worked. Boy was I ever wrong. Out of the 15 calls she made, 6 days before mind you, 12 showed up!!! That is my highest attendance ever! Maybe invites are over rated LOL.
Anyway, her sales were over $300 and she has 1 booking from it. Everyone at the show said they thought twice about coming, but said to themselves, "if Carla is having a party, it must be something special"
To top the night off as I was leaving, she pulls me into the other room. Gives me a towel like the one she gave her guests, a nice card and a homemade necklace that she made for me! Not to mention she sent me home with ALL of the leftovers, even those that she made.
I am so sorry this is so long. I just thought she deserved her own post!
If only all hosts could be this sweet!

I had a lady kind of like that! She had 20 people there. (That part wasn't so good because they talked over my demo the whole time! I thought I was a t.v. left on in the backround.) But the show sales were over $800 and she gave me some free grapeseed oil and dipping mix (she sells Wildtree products). I guess it wasn't as good as yours, but it's so nice to get sweet hosts!

The wonderful hosts more than make up for the weird hosts. One of the things I love about PC is the new friends I've made. Some hosts are just special.

I agree, my host last night is a special friend from my Sunday school class. My daughter adores her and has spent the last 2 weeks at church helping her with VBS and the God and Country class. getting there by 8:30 and this is my child who hates to get up in the morning.

She had her annual show last night (never has made it to a $300 and usually never more than 4 guests) last night it hit $500 and had 10 guests. all were from church except her sweet sister.
The pina coladas were flowing ironically 3 of our "most involved" members brought the alcohol. They got on a roll and I couldn't get thru the demo for the life of me. They became obnoxious and left the kitchen to go sit on the floor with the pitcher of pina coladas. They did order but their behavior annoyed me.
Mind you, I do not object to them having a drink I enjoy a cold beer or margarita sometimes, but I couldn't start the show until they were made (took 5 of them to make them) 30 minutes late & they were not interested in listening. they truly saw it as a girls night out. One lady has a 3 year old daughter who is always acting up at church or dance and I think she gets it from her mom. I used to think it was daddy's influence but mom had to be the "star" last night.
3 of these ladies are in DS I wonder if they are used to their parties being like that.
