introduce home store concept “a way to build a supply of your most commonly used items right in your own home”
everyone makes a plate of chicken salad, fruit cup, dessert and drink
have everyone taste everything
(at this point everyone starts asking questions)
you are eating- start with Fruit.
FD vs dehyrated: 25 year shelf life, shelf life open, no sugar, no salt, no preservatives
this leads me into how much money this can save you
also how easy it is to use
brings me into grocery store shopping-mushrooms, celery, onions going bad in your fridge
talk about FD vegetables
I explain the difference in the 3 kinds of potatoes. The recipe for the potato salad on the can is really good.
explain the best value is in the #10 can ands show on price list. I point out that the green/red peppers are an amazing deal over buying fresh
go to chicken salad-explain how I made it. Meat is precooked, and diced and it’s shelf life. No cross-contamination. Explain TVP now.
how to use these meats i.e. Same as other fresh meats!
talk about eggs. I usually bring a pantry can of these to show the great color and lack of smell. I tell how I use them in cookies and direct them to my blog to see a picture of the cookies I made
talk about grains and how even if you have some already it’s great to have 72 hours worth in a protected can. Protect from mice, bugs and water. Really important
go through dairy, basics and desserts now.
explain difference between instant milk and powdered milk. I have a recipe for rolls on my blog that used the milk
talk about shortening, butter and sour cream powders. The recipe on the shortening can for chocolate chip cookies is great!
store shortening because it goes rancid in your storage fresh. Very dangerous to eat
talk about desserts and how they are just add water. Also point out if they store cake and brownie mix they still need oil, water and eggs
talk about powdered drink and water storage
mention entrees
packs are a discount
cases are a discount
talk about shelf and how much space it takes up and cans it holds. This is SR most recognizable product! And people love it so I never leave it out!
Q club flier. BEST, EASIEST, CHEAPEST way to get all your food every month (and other products) is the Q. Show how they can have Platinum without the fees
Let them keep price list and I keep order forms filled out. Pick a close date on the party and collect forms. Answer questions individually, offer more to eat and all done!!
MANY OF THESE POINTS ARE EXPLAINED IN THE COOKBOOK. SO FEEL FREE TO USE THAT AS A VISUAL AID OR TO HAND THEM OUT AND GO THROUGH THEM AS YOU MAKE EACH OF THE POINTS.
