Silly Question About "Best Show" Totals in Profile

[jessica_momof6]

are you putting the show total or your commissionable sales?

 

[soonerchef]

Since we are on the silly question format - what is DH? I have seen it written several times when talking about your spouse. I still can't figure that one out...

Dear husband

 

[amya]

Thanks for asking Nancy!! I have always wondered, but never asked. Now I know

commissionable sales for mine

 

[AlowayFamily]

I'm glad I asked now, because I will certainly use DH when talking about my "DH". I was thinking all kinds of bad things when I saw that, and I don't want to insult my guy, because he is the BEST!!

 

[AlowayFamily]

Oh, and Best Show total is commissionable as well. I can't wait until I have a total over $1000 like some of the others have. What a great day that will be!!

3rd $1000 showI started Last October, and Last Friday I had my 3rd $1000+ show. it will close tomorrow so I will know the exact toal then. Hopefully it will beat my best.

How do you do it?!?!?! I have only had a couple of shows, but I need to train myself properly to ensure I can have the best show possible. What are some of your tricks to getting those high-dollar shows?

I have just had my 10th $1000 show and my secret is host coaching. I also have not had a cooking show under $600 in more than a year. I feel that if I make sure that I make a connection with the host and truely understand the reason for hosting that they are more motivated to do well. I also include a "How to have a $1000 show" in my host packets and go over it with the host in detail.

The other thing is to up your average sale...my average is $65, I really only take what I need for the recipe and the new stuff and I usually modify the recipes so that I end up using more expensive items. I like to do the Mandarin Pasta Salad and the total on products used is over $500! I find that if I didn't host coach well, my sales drop and the host is not as excited and doesn't get those all important outside orders...

 

[AlowayFamily]

So your show totals rely heavily upon the outside orders as well? I need to push that more in my host coaching. I am lucky that I have several co-workers doing shows for me right now, so I can "coach" them on almost a daily basis. I have 1 show that the host does not work with me, and my gut is telling me it is my weakest show at this point.

On my next host call with her I need to go over the outside order idea and I need to find that file Andrea mentioned about the $1000 show. I assume I can find it here somewhere.

Thanks for all the advice, that's why I love this place!! I wouldn't have the success I am having right now if not for all of you!

Thanks to all!

Show totalsI have been listening to some wonderful cd's from PC, on win-win host coaching, and some others (I ordered them from Supply) and they have helped me so much on host coaching. 1 thing I learned, and I have been practicing is that I tell my host that I expect 5 outside orders before the show, 15 buying guests at the show, and 5 orders after the show. I let them know the steps to a successful show, and they really do want a successful show, they just need us to coach them, teach them how to get there. It is a partnership between us, and if they follow what I tell them, their show will be successful. When you form a good relationship with your host, they will feel you have a partnership, and will work with you to have a successful show. It did take me awhile to learn this, but things have really been going so much better since I got the CD's.

 

[soonerchef]

I will try to post my letter, if I can find it.

Yes, I do rely on outside orders...usually 5 outside orders will give you around $200, if you use the 5-15-5 formula (5 outside orders before the show, 15 orders at the show and 5 outside orders after the show) you should have around $400 before you start counting the show orders. With 15 guests, it should be fairly easy to get another $600...and there you have it...$1000!

 

[AlowayFamily]

I have the 5-15-5 "rule" on my host checklist that is in my host packet - I will definitely have to emphasis that more! $1000 shows - woo-hoo!!!

When you are talking about best show total - do you count a fundraising?

I did a fundraiser with 6 teams from my local Relay for Life groups - I did 1 cooking show for 1 team and I set-up at two different business just to show off the products and answer questions. That fundraiser was $4482.50.

Should I put the fundraiser in as my best show total or just actual cookings totals should be there.
