Sexual Health Peers Open House

Last night was the Sexual Health Peers Open House, and it was a great success! There were at least 40 people there, half of whom bought products. The total was $591, which only makes it average in terms of sales, but the organizer went online after the open house and signed up to be a consultant. She knows so much about sex toys and sexual health and loves the topic, it was a natural fit. Two other guests want to sign up and another wants to do a party. I am going to have one of them sign up under the new recruit since they are really good friends and I'll sign up the other one. I plan to call all the female guests to let them know how successful the open house was, how much was raised for their group, and see if they want to "pop their cherries" and book a party. It was too wild last night to even get the cherries out, but I want to give everyone the opportunity to book a party and pop a cherry.

I am so grateful to Michelle Tesman and Savannah Tewell for helping me last night. Michelle is my "daughter" and Savannah is "adopted" by me. Neither has done many parties and they said the experience was extremely beneficial to them. We started out with me behind the lotions and potions table, talking about the products and letting everyone try Sensations, etc. while they were at the toy display, popping in batteries so the guests could check them out. After a bit, I went to the ordering room and filled orders the rest of the night, while Savannah took my place at the lotions table. They both said they got to experience handling and getting to know all the products and feel much more confident in their product knowledge and in talking to people about the products, which they feel will improve their presentations at their parties. They felt that the free product I gave them for helping was just a bonus.

I got a call from the corporate office today that a hostess called because one of my daughters seems to be MIA. I was also concerned about her since she did not show at my team meeting nor respond to my email. I was planning on calling her today anyway. I hope she is ok, because this is not her normal behavior.
