Thank you, great notes!
 
Thanks so much for posting. I may have questions later. I will let you know.
 
I love reading notes from his presentations. Always motivating! I wonder if I could pull off some of the things he says and does. :DHow he sets up his guest folders sounds interesting. I like the idea. I wonder if it's too much though. Don't some of you guys have experience with these? I thought some said it gets to be too much sometimes and to simplify. Maybe if I wasn't bringing so much product, I wouldn't mind bringing all the preset guest folders? I wonder how much of an investment it is to just go ahead and try it out and see. I need to improve on talking about the opportunity and also the wedding registry. Love his ideas on getting the info out on those.I know he makes the same recipe every time and does it before the guests arrive. So he does mainly an entertaining presentation for his shows, right? Boy, I'm not that entertaining, so I don't know if I could do that successfully. Does he do any demos of the products or have people try anything out? I know he is super successful, but on one side you have his fantastic record, then the other side there is HO giving us all these ideas on recipes and interactive shows. I guess we decide what works best for us, but I'm conflicted. What does everyone else like and think they would do like him?
 
oh man, when was this? That would have been worth the drive!
 
LOVE the cell phone idea...I might try this one!

Last sat. We were guest of another cluster that set the event up, they had very limited spots available.

I could never pull off the show he does, with the recipe before hand and just talking the whole time. He's soooooo funny. Keeps you interested. Several of us commented on how we were ready to buy something at the end. Oh, to be that good.
 
thanks for sharing!
