I finally had my first show!! Not nearly as many people showed up as I expected... only one guest. That's right, ONE guest. The host and had one $50 outside order, and his mother in-law placed another $50 order, and that is where we were at when I left. On the way home, the host called me with an almost $200 order that a friend who couldn't come dropped off, and when I got home, my sister had her own order and three more from her work to submit today. I went from "the show that didn't" to a respectable $400 show in a matter of 15 minutes!
Even though there weren't any bookings, and at first it didn't look like the show would even qualify, I was really proud of myself. I felt really organized and relaxed, and the demo really worked well. I made the Banana Toffee Pizza with a peanut butter cookie crust (sooooo much more yummy!) and showed off a few products. Some how the host and the guest and I started talking about apples and the apcs, so we demo'ed that and then that moved onto potatoes on the apcs, and that moved onto the US&G for making baked french fries so we whipped up a batch, and this was all on the fly! None of that had anything to do with the pizza, but I ended up selling both an apcs and a US&G. I was so proud of myself for being comfortable and going with the flow, and I think that is why everything worked out so well in the end!
So now I am entering the orders in PP, and first I forgot to enter a customers contact info before I entered her order so her past host discount didn't show up, then for some reason I had a food tax entered (no food tax in WA), but I finally got everything straightened out.
Now for my question (you have been very, very patient!):
Maybe this is something I am totally missing, but is there a way to TYPE the item numbers in, or do you have to use the drop down menu? I hate clicking with my mouse!
