New SU demo

[Ambis]

I have just signed up to be a SU demo (pauses and bows to the appluase). What do current demos recommend taking to a "party/workshop". Example glue, scissors, adhesive etc. All and any suggestions welcome please.

As a demo for another company, I would HIGHLY recommend a calculator. I know it is something easily forgotten. I know of ladies shorting themselves because they had to use the one on the cell phone.

I have a big tote (Rubbermaid) that I use just for FUNshops. I have my sign holders, display pieces, office supplies, money bag and paperwork in. Then as I complete each project I place everything needed in the tote. I then can double check everything by doing a mini run through before the big day. Hope this helps.

First of all Welcome! You will love being a demo. My best suggestion is for you to sign up for the Demo only Forums on this board, there is a wealth of advice and information for new demos like yourself over there. :-D

I won't have access to the SU demo site for awhile as I just put my paperwork in yesterday.

Welcome! It is a great family to belong to. Give it a week and give them a call. You will be able to get your demo ID number from them and be able to get on the SU web site and become part of the demo only forum. I agree I would not be able to keep up if it was not for that forum. Again welcome and you picked a great time starting in with a new catalog. Good luck!!! Oh to answer your first question the calculator is a must like the first person said. Also make sure you have plenty of pens and some scrap paper for everyone.

You will have access as soon as you get your demo number which only takes a few days. You can call demo support next week on Tues or Wed and I bet they will have it all ready or you can have your upline get your number.

I will be calling there for her in a few days to get it! I remember how anxious I was to get on the su demo website!

To answer your question Amber:
-CHANGE (I always forget this!!!)
-calculator
-pens
-adhesive
-scrap cardstock
-scrap paper to protect each person's stamp area ( I even used to bring a sheet)
-guest folders (order forms, recruit brochures, business card, wishlist, door prize form, present mini catalogue, big catty, that is all I can think of off of the top of my head!)
-sample projects, cards, etc for inspiration
-your projects!!
-the supplies for your projects!!
-demo manual if you have it in hard copy for at first...it really helped me when I was stumped during a workshop!

That is all I can think of off the hop. It sounds like moving a gal's whole stamp room!!
