What is feeling: Definition and 85 Discussions

I am kind of bummed right now. I have only 2 shows scheduled for August. I have only been doing 3-4 each month, but I really wanted to continue that and even go higher each month. I do have about 5 scheduled for September, but August is looking like a flop so far. I have tried calling...

How nice everyone here is!!! Thank you all for all of the help you've given me so far! :D

I am having tremendous trouble with my sales and bookings. My catty and cooking show sales are really low, I can't get anyone to hardly book and not one person wants to help with my think pink team. I finally got the nerve to ask someone why it wasn't a good time and she referred to the price...

I do a lot of individual fundraiser - I talk with all thse folks and explain that the minimum is $150 in sales. They send me in order for their friends with checks and now I am short postage because they only have a show (one I am working right now) of 140.50 Host is out of town now. I either...

Is anyone else out there feeling old?? Here I sit on a Saturday night, I am already in my jammies and am exhausted from all that has gone on today. It is only 7:30!!!! I just got done watching a college basketball game (Go Bucks) and started thinking back to the college years and how I...

I am feeling very overwhelmed right now. My sister is having a baby shower on March 24th and I am planning it. She won't give me answers of what she wants or who she wants to invite so I invited some people I think she would like to have there. I finally got the invites addressed and they...

I am just feeling a bit down today. Pulled in so many directions. I had an event inform me 3 weeks out that my spot was filled. Why didn't they tell me this when I applied almost 6 weeks ago. I have several shows on my books which makes me happy but the cooking shows drain me a lot. I...

My work has been so busy - I initially started working part-time but my hours right now are double what I wanted them. I just never feel like I can get all my PC stuff done. Perhaps it's just that I am so disorganized and trying to do too many things. I want to qualify for one of the...

I really would like to achieve directorship by Mar. 1st. I currently have 3 recruits, one of which is qualified, one is in SS1 & the third just went inactive. I have a show on Jan. 25th & then have 5 in Feb. I really would like to make this happen, I'm just not sure how to go about it. I...

Okay... I did my Bunco Express show last night. It was the WEIRDEST feeling leaving there... didn't have a single order in my hand and didn't really know... other than the host wanting the roasting pan, if anyone intended to order. I DID know that one gal already has a show scheduled for Dec...

I feel I am not doing very good shows - I always feel like I am fumbling around to find ingredients and tools. I want to do a good show. Most of my shows are catalog shows so I don't get much practice with cooking shows. Then on the way home I am critiquing myself. Anyone have ideas?

Just sent out my e-mail newsletter last night (BTW - Joy rocks). This morning I recieved a reply with remove in the title. Ok, so I guess some people don't want cool recipes and such...however it is from my next-door neighbor!! I know I should consider the source, this same woman called...

My last 2 hopes of scheduling in September and October for "maybe; yes's" have fizzled out. I am trying to find a Vendor Fair in the next month, but no one calls me back. I am feelin very down about the whole business right now. I thought fall was supposed to be better and easier as far...

:( Here it is.... I've done 2 shows already this month and I have one "maybe" from one of them to do a show... it seems that everytime I get a yes--it turns into a "I'm really busy", or they don't return my call--and they never seems to want to commit that evening of the show because they have...

This morning I had a lady email me asking to put in an individual order. I am trying to enter it into pampered partner and under show type I picked Individual under show. But, how do i enter in her order? It blacks out host order (I know she isnt a host because this is just an individual order)...

Well, for the last three days I have been trying to contact a Host about closing her catalog show by the end of this month, so I can qualify. I left her messages telling her that I'd like to close the show but she can wait 'til July if she wanted the Host Special for that month. Well, she called...

Last Saturday I had a lady book a show, and she wanted it for today (that's the shortest lead time I've ever had for a cooking show). Not much time to host coach, but she called all her guests and I sent the invitations on Monday morning. I mailed her the ingredients as she doesn't have a...

I struggled to get my first six bookings with friends because I haven't lived here that long and actually don't know too many people. Luckily one friend of mine held a party and invited her neighbours, who love holding parties, so two of them booked and now I have two or three more bookings...

My SS1 month starts in March, and I am terribly nervous about it. I don't have the support of my parents or my fiance's parents and I moved to this area in June of last year, so I really don't know anybody. I am starting to think that I really put myself in a terrible position. I have posted...

Could someone please explain how the cheese knife is supposed to work? I get the idea that you are supposed to be able to slice normally or use like a cheese plane, but I have had ZERO success with it so far. I have to push down on the top of the knife to get it to go through cheddar-- that...

I love this business, I share my enthusiasm, I go through my book.... and when I start talking about the business I am still excited about the earning power and ease of doing well, but I just still don't feel comfortable "going there". How long do you spend talking about the money, the...

I am half way through my SS2 and feel I have hit a wall. The last 2 shows I did I couldn't get a booking to save my life. Now here I am at the starting point again with no shows coming up. I don't have anyone left (not even on my 100 list) that I can contact. I have tried to find out when...

I have a lady who booked a bridal show over two months ago. It is next Wednesday the 21st. I contacted her 6 weeks ago to get it going. I asked her for a wish list so it could be included with the invites. I also asked for the guest list and such so I could get the invites out. I waited a week...

I don't know if it just me, but I am a little disappointed with the Celebration Recipes.... I loved the Potstickers the most, but I found most of the recipes are gearing towards showing our cooking/creative skills and not enough products! They take so long to prepare and are so intricate (and...

Ladies, I have a situation and need advice. I have brought it to my director, but I am would like to get more suggestions. I have a host that booked a show at the end of March for May (she said she wanted closer to Mom's Day). So we booked for the 7th. She was very enthusiastic, placed a...
