My 1St Power Cooking Demo Is Tonight

[sarahsellcm]

I am doing my first ever power cooking demo tonight. I have about 10 people coming. We are doing the Easy Beef Stroganoff, BBQ Beef Sloppy Joes and the Zesty Beef tacos. We will be eating the tacos and the other two will be raffled off to two lucky people to take home with them.

Does anyone have any tips on ways I can make this pretty successful? I am doing this at my house and am the hostess so that I can get triple points. I want to get as many points as I can this year.

Thanks

That is a great idea to raffle off the food - easy dinners for them to take home! Are you supplying something like Gladware to pack it up in? I'll have to go look at those recipes! Do they use the DCB?If you are married, I would put your husband as the host, so you get the commission. Or your children, pets, etc ... This is something my director always tells me to do ...

I am making my hubby the host. I am using the Power cooking beef theme show that Pampered Chef has. You put the two recipes in freezer safe zip lock bags. They do not use the DCB. I will take pictures of my set up later and put them on. I now have about 10-15 people coming. Hope I get some good sales tonight.

There's no need to put the show in someone else's name. Put it in yours. You still get a commission. You still get host benefits. Your husband is in the same household as you anyway...it doesn't make a difference.

Good Luck! Sounds like a great idea. It is so cold here, no one wants to go out. 25 below zero wind chill tomorrow, not a good time for triple points here in the midwest. I would love to live in ca or fl to not have to deal with the weather!
Let us know how it goes!

Raffling off the food is a great idea--have you considered "anyone with a $60 order gets in on a raffle"?

Here are a few tips to make your demo successful:1. Prepare ahead of time: Make sure you have all the ingredients and tools you need for your recipes. It's also a good idea to have everything pre-measured and chopped to save time during the demo.2. Be organized: Set up your cooking station in a way that makes it easy for your guests to see what you're doing. Have all the ingredients and tools laid out neatly and in order of use. This will also make it easier for you to follow your recipes.3. Engage your guests: As you're cooking, make sure to engage your guests by explaining the steps and asking for their input or questions. This will make the demo more interactive and fun for everyone.4. Offer samples: People love to taste the food they see being prepared, so make sure to offer samples throughout the demo. This will also give your guests a chance to try the dishes before they enter the raffle.5. Promote your business: As a consultant, this is a great opportunity to showcase your products and services. Make sure to have catalogs, business cards, and information about hosting a party or joining your team available for interested guests.I hope these tips help you have a successful and fun power cooking demo tonight.
