WOWSERS!!!!!

So, June 17th I had my very first show or party or demo, whatever ya wanna call it. I was scared. I was nervous. And I just knew I was gonna look-a-fool. But know what, it was good. My hostess has been one of my dearest n fiercely loyal friends for about 6 years. She was hesitant  about having a party but she did it anyway to support me. And she jump started my business. Her show was a lil over $200 and 1 booking. If you know anything about direct sales, you know that altho the show amount is important, it's the bookings that are the life line of your business. Because without them....where do you go?! So I was beyond thrilled with my friend's willingness to allow me to share my business with her friends.

Fast forward to last night, August 14th. Last night was the booking. This sweet, funny gal had quickly become a dear to me. Older lady with a heart of gold and a disposition that puts me to shame. I wanna adopt her as grandma for my boys!! Anyway, she was so cute. She was worried her show would just bomb. "I only have 6 people coming" "No one will book a show". That girl had 14 women crowd into her little living room! Her friends invited friends. She had people calling her Tuesday morning "I forgot to rsvp and I'm bring 2 people with me". It was amazing. I was a complete wreck! I wasn't prepared at all though I had been studying non stop since I returned from National Conference in Atlanta. But I went with my gut and I followed my heart. I did my presentation and focused on what I love most about my business. The charity.

The games were a hoot. The demo was ok. But the fellowship was intense. I am not a deeply religious person. I have been so abused spiritually that I'm still trying to sort it all out in my head. But I do know that I was among some true Christian ladies last night. And I thoroughly enjoyed myself. So much so that what should have been a 2 hour night from start to finish was over 5 hours! I just didn't want to leave. WOW! Who can say that about their job?!

And for those of you wondering, the party was just over $500. She received 1 confirmed booking and 2 more maybes. She is getting $90 in FREE product. She was able to get 2 items at HALF OFF.  And if you're wondering what I got out of the night aside from laughs and tears and endless joy, I made 25% of what I sold. Consultants with Thirty-One Gifts do NOT pay for hostess rewards. AMAZING!!! And because there was an incentive through the company, I will also be getting $150 in FREE products from the brand new fall catalog.

So I'm gonna close because I have to go celebrate with my friend and upline, (she did over $1000 already this month!!!!)
