So I had my first cooking show last week and it was great! $400 in sales! 15 Guests! I was hoping to get a little more in sales, but that's ok. $400 is good!!
I invited a lady and her daughter because I am close friends with her. When this lady and her daughter showed up they brought a friend!! I didn't even know they were going to! I was SO happy! To me this was a "Golden Guest."
At the party, after the demonstration, this lady told me she had to leave but asked for a catalog so she could look it over and order in a couple of days. I said, "Sure! I'll be in touch with you later."
So a few days go by, I sent her emails but she never wrote back so I finally called her (which I was gonna do anyway). She told me she and her husband looked through the catalog and nothing seemed to jump out at them. "I won't be ordering right now," she said, "but I may later."
I was disappointed... not only because I lost a sale, but because I am SO close to reaching my new consultant $1250 goal I was hoping her sale would help with that. After I got off the phone with her, I said to myself, "Gee, thanks for coming to my party, bringing your daughter AND a friend and none of you ordered."
So much for "Golden Guest" huh?
But I'm ok now
