For I think the first time ever, I do have one show. It's on the Friday after Thanksgiving at 5 pm. I'll be interested to see what the turnout is like. Then Sunday I'm going to a Lia Sophia party (jewelry) as a guest so it'll be kind of fun to just sit and relax.:) Especially after hosting Thanksgiving for my parents and in-laws:)

Thanksgiving is our Christmas since that's when the kids come down from WI so I never plan anything. I will have a couple of shows to close that week but that will hopefully happen before they arrive on Tuesday night.

I have a vendor event /craft fair on Saturday and Sunday. Hoping to complete my January Bookings and do some sales for the Holidays.

I have 16 shows/events in November and only 5 for December....looking forward to a strong New Year!

I did one last year that was ok- I liked it because it was in early December. Here a lot of craft fairs won't let direct sale vendors in. This one waits until 2weeks before and then if they still had room they let us in. So I waited until yesturday to call and after 20 years of having it they decided not to have it this year. :(

I'm closing 1 cooking and 3 catalog shows on Sunday; plan to make all my remaining Nov./Dec host calls that weekend too and start booking January more firmly (and more December if I can!)

;)

I have a show Sat, Sun, Mon and then Friday. Already have $3,200 in and need 1900 points for the cruise! I may have it with the additional sales this month! If not from that I have a brand new consultant that should qualify by 11/28! (her 30 days). Also have 6 catty shows going on that most should close by the end of the month!

Great November show schedule Janice (and December's looking pretty good too!).

I have a show Tuesday but nothing over Thanksgiving weekend. Our movers come the following week, so we're sorting like crazy until then. (I do have three shows the first week of December...thank goodness for fellow consultants lending their products!)

After that, it's a complete NADA, ZERO, ZILTCH, ETC. :eek:

Ok- only 1 more show (next week) left for the year. I am getting on the phone and sending out my customer email newsletter to get some additional business and those January bookings. All my Novemer shows were in the first 2 weeks so no carryover to Dec. Now I find out how good of a consultant I am.

Wow! Great Weekend! I only had 1 of my downline take me up on the "Free" weekend booth (I paid for the spot).....between the 2 of us, we had over $600 in sales (she even sold 5 Food Choppers to ONE customer!) AND booked 7 shows. Will definately do it again next year.

Oh, also came home to a phone call from a woman who met my friend at another local craft event that didn't have a PC consultant at it....my friend gave her my # and I got a $70 sale from it!

I am almost at $7000 in sales for the month and don't have any open dates til February!

Woo Hoo!
