Ok, so I have only done a total of five shows. Three catalog and two cooking shows. My most recent show was yesterday at a coworker's house. It started out OK before the guests got there ... I did my prep and felt confident. People were trickling in REAL slow. So I started with four people as guests. Then five more wandered in within 15 minutes of starting. I had to repeat myself a couple of times. But the worst part was I felt like I was talking to myself, because everyone was talking and I didn't think anyone was actually listening or cared about what I was saying. I had all these clever quips I had planned in my head and they just didn't go off.
For my recipes I prepared a dip with the dill seasoning beforehand and served it on Simple Additions with crinkled-cut vegetables. I made a broccoli ham ring and cooked a chocolate lava cake in the rice cooker.
Sales were OK, the most so far for a show I have done (I had not had anything break the $200 mark at that point.) It seems like people were listening because I did sell two rice cookers, a cheese grater and the host ended up buying the very 12-inch executive skillet I had brought. (It was my qualifying bonus.) I also got two bookings for May. In the end I had about $370 in commissionable sales.
Is this OK? I just felt so frustrated that the flow of the show didn't go as I would like.
