Hi again all. The hostess for one my first shows is a vegetarian. Anyone got any good recipes/ideas? I need something that even the diehard carnivores will enjoy without offending the hostess. Thanks in advance for any and all ideas :)

Okay. I am planning my spring sneak peek. I am getting ready to mail the postcards out and wanted to see if any of the people I know or have done business with in my "naughty nights" had shows within the past year so that I can put a reminder letting them know they should use their past host...

Alright guys, I have a lady at work that does Creative Memories (scrap booking parties), she and her friend both want to have a PC party. Should I go about this as "oh, a potential recruit!", or as "oh, gosh. how is this going to turn out?" I know, I know, be possitive. She hasnt brought...

My friend's friend held a Show for another consultant and was not happy with her from the beginning to the end. She is wanting to complain about her and my friend asked me what she could do. The hostess found out I was a consultant after she already had her show booked. Should I just tell her...

What am I doing wrong? Has anybody else had a problem trying to see the Jan.- April guest specials on CC? I am trying to run a couple of copies and I couldn't get them to come up. I even found them here on this site, and they won't open. I haven't seen a thread that this is happening...

Usually I toss in a couple of recruiting brochures when I do my hostess packets. None of the brochures that I just bought (several packages of each, a total waste of money but at least it's a tax write-off) will work for my Feb shows since they're revamping the entire program. Anyone have...

I had a show right before Thanksgiving. My host did not submit it to me until the 1st of December. She recieved the order on December 11th.

Well I'm new and have a hostess that used to be a consultant herself, she's been nice so far and knows I am new. She just emailed me to let me know that after my presentation a woman whose daughter used to sell jewelry is showing the rest of her inventory at 40% off. She said that her guest...

Am I allowed to have myself as a hostess listed on the website? I was wanting to have my own show and allow people to use my website, but I wasn't sure if we could do that.

When I was at conference, one of the workshop speakers was talking about having her hostesses fill out an evaluation. Ditz brain over here can't for the life of me remember who said it, much less an email address. Does anyone do this, if so, what type of form have you worked up? Thanks so much.

Hi Ladies, I have a book show booked for November and I am not sure what to include in the hostess packet for a book show. I have all of my folders ready for a Kitchen Show hostess, but, they wouldn't apply to a book hostess. Can you share with me what you use? Thank you, Dana Dunphy:)

For a show later this month. My hostess wants to give them out not have me send out invites like I normally do. HELP!!!!

I just wanted to know if you send the postcards or does your host send the postcards for her/his cooking shows.
