I had a blast at my show Thurs nite - it was a couples party,
although there were SOME singles there - I had the guests pick a partner and we played a
silly game:If your partner lost his/her job would he/she:
- go on welfare
- take a VISA cash advance at 34% interest
- sell [company]
If your partner was in charge of new flavor development at PL, would he/she
create:
- Taco Tealites
- Tiffany Tapers
- Miller's Pillars
If your partner absolutely had to have $587.23 worth of PL from tonight's display,
would you
- buy it for him/her now
- have a show in two weeks and get if free
- become a consultant, get it free AND get paid for getting it
WELL, it was SO silly we had a ball with it - I gave everyone a little prize for playing
and gave all the first timers (candle virgins) an extra gift - told a story about how I
came home one nite after a show, walked into a kitchen full of guys playing poker and when
my dh asked about my nite, I said "oh, about 700 dollars" They all oohed and
aahhed that was a lot of candles to sell in one nite, and I of course, replied, "oh,
I didn't sell that, I MADE it" - well it was good reinforcement because most of the
poker buddies were there Thurs nite. SO...we had a $400 show, three bookings, one on blitz
nite, and one a single (newly divorced) guy who is the business manager at a local large
car dealership - lots of guy employees!!! Happens my dh and I were in there Friday looking
at a car, and when we saw him, he said he'd been yakking up his show all morning. We're
doing it on Oct. 18 before Mon nite football - Giants/Dallas - my thought was that I could
greet everyone at the door, collect $50, which they'd spend on a football pool anyways,
and then at half time let them know what they ordered LOL. Actually, think I'll offer a
discount if they buy something in their team's colors, and offer free holiday gift
wrapping and storage if they spend a certain amount.
