Consultants who Suck (Pun definitely not intended)

It's unbelievable how many requests I get from potential hostesses for a "fun" and "alive" consultant. It's amazing how many talk about the boring consultant who did their last party. No games, no jokes, just BLAH. Many times they say she was an older woman. Now, to me that might mean in the senior citizen category. I know, I know...sex never gets old. But a boring, non-interactive, "educational" presentation is a BIG no-no in this biz. Make it fun and FUNNY no matter who you are. These things CAN be learned!

I recently had a hostess out of California tell me that there was one consultant who didn't even have her toys out of the package! Guests had to feel or just look at the toy through it's packaging. Come on now! Common sense. It's a SEX TOY PARTY! These women want to touch the toys, play with the buttons, feel the material, pose for pictures with them! Makes NO sense to me! And as for speaking...if you're going to do a toy presentation, you have to spare a few jokes here and there. A little raunchiness never hurt nobody! ;)
