Unprepared but Successful: My Cooking Show Experience

[chefkitty]

I held a cooking show for my sis-in-law last night. Even though I have been trying to get out of the family and friends loop it worked out great. One of her friends brought a friend who is all about PC and decided she wanted 2 pieces of stoneware at 60% off (mainly the deep covered baker) so she asked if she could run a catty show til the end of the month! I was so surprised and unprepared. Of course it didn't help that I had forgotten my briefcase at home. Luckily I had enough extra catty's and order forms so she could take them with her when she left. Also ty to everyone who has ever posted a party game on this website. Because I had left my briefcase at home I didn't have any of my game sheets but I was able to use my sis-in-laws computer to get on here and figure something out!!! thanks for the ear and sorry so long!!

I had kind of the same thing happen to me last night. Tried doing some cold calling to get shows booked for March/April. The first lady I called really LOVES the stoneware, so she said she wanted to do a catalog show. She is confident that she can pull it off in just a week. I'm thinking double points too!
Great way to think on your feet at your show. LOVE this site too!
