My second show was a fundraiser - Part of the reason I got into the business was do to fundraisers for cancer research.
My hosts were helping a young lady raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphomas Society for their team in training program. The participant and the hosts had a mutual friend. They invited almost 100 people. There were about 25 people at this house when the show started. I was obviously a bit nervous because I was so new.
I didn't realize that the hosts and the participant had just chatted on the phone that they had never even met in person until that evening. How cool!
The hosts were a mom and daughter The daughter was recovering from Leukemia. My mom was battling Lymphoma at the time. The 23-year old daughter hand me a hand made card to give to my mother after the show was over. I just wanted to cry this family was so sweet. Not only were they dealing with the daughter's leukemia but her father is also on the transplant list. I believe is was waiting on a heart transplant.
The line got so long for check out that several people ended up ordering on line - My show was my biggest ever show and I would have qualified on that show alone. 1562.25
Then a friend of theirs booked a catalog show from that which was also a $1000 show.
It was an awesome experience!

The hostess (a GOOD friend of mine) yelled "5 second rule!!!!" and 4 of them were scooping it up off the floor while I stood there with my jaw hanging/picking it up off the floor with my hands! I was thinking ~ What the heck? Are they that hungry they have to eat off the floor? YUCK! Then Cindy (hostess) said, "oh, it's clean, I just bleached the floor today...Whoaaaaa...bleach, Chicken Brocolli Braid...for some reason I'm REALLY sick now!
Until this day, I had NEVER heard "5 second rule" ~ I came home...my family was all excited and was asking how it went ~ I was still in shock these ladies would eat this thing off the floor ~ and said to them..."Have you ever heard about the 5 second rule?" With an EXTREMELY puzzled look on my face...my DH, DS and DD just laughed at me.
It was a great show...7 bookings, $1587 sales, 2 recruits...
I will NEVER forget this show!

people going nuts eating off the floor...ladies passing out...
Well, I guess I'm qualified to handle that:
Mom = used to kids eating odd things or making messes.
EMT = I'll have the ladies vitals and blood sugar checked before the ambulance arrives.
...guess I may still consider the recipe and see what happens...
Ginny has awesome sales, bookings, recruits, so what can we lose?
Well, my most memorable show isn't because of what happened there necessarily, it is what is happening now.
I just got a call last night from a lady who wanted to order a few things because a lady at my April show referred her. The lady that did the referring is older and had fun, but didn't want to host or anything else so you "think" it's a dead end. Here 2 months later she referred someone to me for an order.
Another show, just did on July 6th, a lady showed up who has had EXTREMELY bad past PC situations with consultants - so much she said she'd never buy PC again and I didn't expect to see her at any of my shows...short story long...SHE APPROACHED ME to book a show and is scheduled for August 16th. We talked and she seems very excited!
Those things make shows memorable to me...
