So my friend's aunt has been telling me since the fall/winter catalog was out that she wanted the 10" saute pan, but back then it was only available as part of a set and she didn't want the whole set. When the spring catalog was released, I sent her a message telling her about the pan being available individually. Never heard anything back from her, so I figured I would follow up with her again in a month or two.

She just randomly sent me an email earlier this afternoon that she wanted to place an order...turns out she wanted the 5-piece executive set after all! I asked if she wanted to turn it into a show, and that's what we did. My mom had an order she'd been waiting to place, we put the pots in her husband's name, and she called her niece (my friend) who is also placing an order. She's already over the $300 mark, and she's so thrilled about free products and a half-price item. I'm bewildered, but thrilled at the same time. I'm not even close to the $2,500 to get conference half-price (can't go this year anyway, so that wouldn't have mattered), but having the extra show on my next commission statement is just wonderful! And all I had to do was sit on my couch for 45 minutes this afternoon while my kids napped and take care of business...just goes to show that getting messages out about wish list items really does work sometimes!!!
 
That's great!
 
Way to GO!!!
 
Whoo Hooo!!! awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Serendipity, baby! Gotta love it!
 
Way to go!
