Yes, I do THOSE Parties.

I never in my wildest dreams thought I'd do sales parties - especially sales parties for adult novelty items. A friend of mine has been doing it for a couple of years and asked if I was interested in having a party. I'd been to several in the last decade and they were always fun, plus, everyone knows I love a good party, so why not. The party was quite a success if I may say so myself.

Anyway, it got me thinking - I could make extra cash and sell fun stuff. Sorry to all the Mary Kay ladies out there, but I definitely think my products are definitely more fun. I called my friend up and told her I was interested in joining her team. The next thing I knew, I had a huge sales kit arriving at my door. What had I gotten myself in to? A buzzing darn good time is what!

Like any other sales business, you have to book parties to make any money and there are good months and there are bad months. Coming out of the holiday season, I was feeling kind of over the whole thing. My last party was in November and while I did well, I started the year lacking motivation to drum up business and wondering if I had made a bad investment.

And then the tables turned faster than I can say "Anyone want to have a Passion Party?" Clare (said friend) asked me to cover a party for her last weekend. The next day I got a lead from our internet group. This lady wants to do a party for 20-40 people in 2 weeks. Shortly after that one, another friend asked if I would be interested in doing a party for her Mom's group.

Even though I was seriously lacking motivation on the drive to League City on Saturday night, it is a good thing I got in the groove once I got there because these ladies were ready to buy. I walked out with almost $175 in profit, 2 parties booked and 3 more who are interested, but want to wait a bit since their friends are having parties. Not bad, not bad. It looks like I just might be able to meet my 101 Goal for Passion Party profit sooner than I thought.

And on that note, anyone want to have a Passion Party?
