    As someone who considers herself a gourmet chef (OK....an amateur gourmet chef!) I absolutely lovvvvvvvvvvvvve cooking for people.

    In my spare moments - you'll find me with my nose buried in an ancient and musty Joy of Cooking recipe book or one of the latest from the bookstore. (I am a HUGE fan of Nigella Lawson!)

    There is something about whipping eggs, chopping carrots and creating a masterpiece that relaxes me (or is it the red wine?) Ha.

    I take great pride in having a table set that is a feast for your eyes as well as your palate.

    So What Does Cooking Have To Do With Selling - Ms. Martha Diva?

    "Meal Prepared By Kim"

    Now I have hundreds of clients so it isn't physically possible to invite everyone! However, I still run them through my "Mental Guest List" to see if they would be Pavlova worthy.

    The 6 Qualities Of A Perfect Diva Dinner Guest:

    1. Fakes Need Not Apply. I am a BAN the PLASTIC MARGARINE and go for the BUTTER kind of girl! So if someone comes across as a fake to me - then sorry. You're not invited.

    4. Fresh Ideas Abound. I love working with people who are excited about their business and all of the aspects that are involved. Stale bread doesn't interest me unless it's a breadcrumb.

    5. Loves Trying New Things. Oh boy - this is a BIG ONE. As I am an experimental "chef" in sales and in life - you had better be prepared for trying new things. If that scares you then stick with Kraft Dinner.

    6. Appreciation. Just as a the best guest is someone who comes with an appetite, loves to eat really good food and moans with joy through-out the meal - I only work with clients who absolutely savor the experience with me and who want more!

    I Diva Dare you to use these filters for your own "Mental Guest List" .

    You will be pleasantly surprised how quickly you will know if someone is "Meal Worthy" or not.

    It works. Trust the Galloping Gourmet Sales Diva.
