I got 2 catalog shows, 1 definite show, and half of the "helpers" that I need for another show I'm doing.
I also got two "someday I wanna have a show" people to commit to a date!!!!
Overall, I think it was a great couple of days! I'm glad we did it and I'm really glad that I knew I would have to check in here and tell you all how I did!
The "helper" show that I'm talking about is simply this -
I am asking 6 people to collect $100 in orders and in exchange they get $20 in FREE product. This way, I am guaranteed a $600 show and then I just split the host benefits between them! ($115 in free product, but then there are half price items, and the host special, too!) It should cost me at the most $5 out of pocket! They are welcome to collect more than $100 obviously and I have said for every $100 collected they will get $20 more in product. I am also going to put their name in a drawing for every $100 they collect and draw for the other host benefits. I have enough for half a show now. I am actually hoping to do 4 of these shows!!!!!
Have a good one everyone!!!
