What is guests: Definition and 200 Discussions

This may have already been covered but I haven't seen it. Someone gave me the idea this past week to do a Mega Show. I'll invite five to eight hosts who will be responsible to bring (Not just invite but have confirmed) ten to 15 adult guests. Each host will be her own show and will, in turn...

I'm just finishing my grand opening show, consultant as host, and as I input the orders, the shipping charge isn't being added. ??? Isn't each guest supposed to pay $4.50? Help!

Hello! My grill pan & press comes in today and I already have 5 ppl that want to try this show! But is there anywhere that gives us a shopping list to forward to them? Or has anyone made one up? Thanks so much!

So I've checked the outlet again...and blah...It's been the same for ages except they added a cookie cutter! Ugh. I've had 2 guests complain in the past week that the outlet has been the same forever...I know this is probably a little bit of a dramatization but it has been a long time since...

I just talked to my host who is having her show tomorrow. we are doing the 3 cheese garden pizza. suddenly she tells me she has 10-15 people coming and possibly more!!!!!! Now what should I do?! I only have one stone (newbie here) so I can't do a second

I'm so frustrated! I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I even did the Dollar Days info, etc. They just won't commit! Any suggestions on how to get more bookings. In fact, I've done 8 shows now without any booking from any of the shows. My shows have all been from phone calls that I make...

I had a show on Tuesday, and had the guests fill out the Guest Care Cards, where I ask for an email address on the bottom if they want to be added to my newsletter, and none of the guests gave me an email address!! This is what I have on my Care Card: "Would you like to join my Preferred...

Ok I had a "show" this week from a past hostess of mine who last year did a show and no one came. I pumped up her host coaching this time around and called her prety much every day. I asked her to give me the telephone numbers for the people she invited so I could make the reminder calls but she...

I just met with a host last night who had a $550 catalog show--GREAT! The only problem is....only 1 of the 11 orders had complete contact info (Last name, address, phone, email)! :grumpy: Most orders just had the first name! Now 95% of the orders were checks made out to the host, who gave me...

Hi all, I really want to do a open house show where guests, past hosts, past guests, etc can bring in old, used, damaged tools to "trade-in" for new ones. Does anyone have a flyer or more information on how you would do this? I was thinking about having several drawings for discounts or...

Well, PC has shipped my 4/30 show, containing 2 small orders I combined b/c the guest whined about a measly $4.25 shipping. In the interim, I prepared my "motherless day" project. (Every year I go out of my way to do something special for someone who has either lost a mother, is estranged...

So I have a hostess who just moved into her new house who's having a house showing/PC party. We decided to do fajita's & margarita's for the demo.....LOVE this combo!!! so she said originally that she thought she'd probably have about 15-20 people there....just got an email from her....has...

Hi everyone, I just wanted to get your thoughts on receiving payment. I have been taking checks from guests, then depositing them all together. I have been submitting the shows quickly, before the checks clear, because it can take a long time. I'm wondering if it would be better to ask...

My Fri. host had picked the chili cornbread bake, but is celebrating lint and so are her guest. Ideas on suggestions to give her... We don't do lint so not sure what all the requirements are. Thanks.

Hi! I am new here but have found lots of great information. I have a show on Saturday with my SIL and she already has 25 confirmed guests....I have not done a party so large - are there any tips that anyone can share on managing a crowd of that size yet remaining interactive. I do know...

Well, I always tell guests at my show that these little things are great for breastfeeding moms to close breast milk bags....oh my one of my friends took me a little to serious when I said there were so many uses for a new mom. She went into labor at home and delivered before the ambulance...

when the whole order will be shipped to the host? Why can't she (host) pay one flat rate for everything?" One of my hostess just called me to ask these questions which were brought up by one of her guests (outside order). I honestly didn't know what to answer as NO ONE else have ever...

The weather here is killing my show schedule and from mid-January until last night, all of my shows have had to reschedule and i had one reschedule for last night. An hour's drive from here. I've been host coaching them (mother/daughter co-host) and encouraging outside orders and talking up...

Do guests at a fundraiser get the guest special? For example, the free item with $60 purchase?

So my best friend and I were talking about Chicago and she is thinking of coming along when I go for Conference. Well I'm totally down with it but wonder what guests can attend? She would be fine without coming to anything but I would think it would be nice if she could come to some things if...

How should I take it when guests leave their catalogs behind? Last night's show, out of 8 people, at least half the catalogs were left behind on the tables and chairs... I found them after everyone was gone and I was cleaning up...:(

Just found a great website for people staying at CS!!! Great pictures! I showed my boys the slide and they can't wait to go! Coronado Springs Resort Website

I just noticed, that on my last several shows, the new guests/contacts entered do not get tagged as "guests" in the Categories! They didn't get tagged as anything- I had to go in manually to edit the contact. Uh...hello?? Please tell me I'm missing a simple step when I enter them...and...

I came across an older thread about a game called the Food Chopper feud. I have a show Monday night and the ladies are all eager to have a great night. The host has been talking up the DCB like crazy so we are doing the fajitas and margaritas. Lately I've been thinking that my shows haven't been...

Okay - I think I am ready to take the plunge and try this out. I have a show on 2/06 and I am mailing out the invites tomorrow. I was thinking I would do a phonevite blast to all the guests telling them to keep their eyes on their mailboxes this week for their invitation...blah blah I am at a...

I had 2 guests book at the same Cooking Show, one for Jan 16th, one for Jan 17th. Other than the past host, totally different crowds, otherwise I'd have encouraged them to spread out their shows more. The same host coaching for both ... one listened & just closed at $1,213.45 in guest sales...

Ok. So my Open For Business show was supposed to start at 1:00 today. It is now 1:30 and there is no one here but me and my daughter! :cry: I invited everyone from my daughter's preschool, my son's teachers, my husband's co-workers (I can't do mine caz they kinda frown on their employees...

I'm just curious what others thoughts are on this. I attended a Tupperware party that my sister-in-laws friend was having and although I carry my logo bag as my purse, I didnt have it "all hangin out there" for everyone to see. In fact, it was the tupperware lady who happened to mention to the...

I am doing a booth tonight where last years turn out was 300+ people. I plan to display a couple of gift ideas, cattys, spices, cook books, and of course recruitment brochures. Any other ideas? I have read through the threads just want to make sure I am not missing anything. I did not start...

My friend is the sister of a host. She wants to order things to be a gift for a relative out of state and plans to have it direct shipped there. On my website it just asks for the customer's name and info, it doesn't seem to allow for a separate shipping address. How is it supposed to be...
