Successful Show: A Woo Hoo Moment for My Business!

[Sk8Mom209]

Not sure if this is the correct forum, but I just wanted to Woo Hoo myself on the show I did yesterday.

I am trying to jump start my stagnant business and basically told my daughter she was having a show. She hemmed and hawed and gave me the I don't have any friends, etc. When I showed up yesterday, she already had $350 in sales. Only 3 buying customers (all family) showed up, but the show is still just under $700 in sales and she thinks she will be collecting more at work this week.

And I have 1 booking. So it was a total Woo Hoo for me on a show I hoped would reach $200!

Hopefully, this is a glimpse of things to come for my business!

Waahoo indeed! Amazing how those ones you think will barely squeek by as a show end up being awesome! Definitely a morale booster!

Be sure to contact all those outside orders for bookings! I'm not good at that so I've made it a point to do so this year. My last show had 4 outside orders, and 2 booked after I called them to thank them for their order and say "so sorry you missed the show. it was so much fun. etc" I surprised myself and am totally motivated to keep it up.

And it just keeps getting better! Not only am I on track to get the pink products this month, but my host from last weekend submitted her consultant agreement before I left her house! Will be closing her show tonight and in a month and a half have gone from no business, and no team to a business that's off and running with two recruits!

You need to send your story in to HO. That's the kind of thing they like to share.

Congrats!!

Congrats! Your story is very inspiring! I am in a stagnant place and this gives me hope for the month of April.

Thank you!

Congrats!!! I decided to do the same in February and jump start my business after 4 years. I booked 5 cooking shows, 1 turned into a catalog show, but all shows held sales over 4000K with 4 bookings 2 potential bookings, and 4 recruit leads! Then did a vendor show have 1 recruit lead and 3 bookings! I can't believe it but so inspired to keep going!
