More Host Referral Leads!~Yay!!
Did ya'll get the email?
How did everyone do with the last wave of host referral leads? None of them panned out for me but I am confident that sooner or later one or more will pay off...anyone else?
 
I got one booking which led to a new consultant who has just turned in her first show. I got 2 leads on this list! The other time I didn't get a list, but my director shared.
 
I'm so excited!! I didn't get any last time and this time around there are probably 7 or so on there. Yay! It's so cool they do this, even if it doesn't turn into anything.:)

I got 7 pages of names!
I can't wait to start calling!
I am thinking I may farm some out to some of my downline, too!
 
I got the email and my list is just over six pages long.

Last time I got a show, that turned into two more shows. It was great for my business! I really needed the shows at that time.

I look forward to calling my new contacts.

Thanks!
Lisa
 
Geez, I was excited just to have 7 names!! I wish I had 7 pages!:D:D

Let us know how all those go and what comes out of it!

What do you say when you call them?
 
I didn't get any. :(

I got one, but it's a past consultants sister who also works with one of my other team members. Pretty much, I didn't get any either :(
 
I got the email but not a list. Did I miss something? Was it in a second email?
 
I got my list! 7 pages but some are SO FAR AWAY from me! 50 miles is a HUGE radius!!!! And I can't believe no other directors around here qualified to get the list. But woo-hoo for me!!!!
 
Found it! I have 5 pages.

Last time I got absolutely no leads. I sent out catalogs and made phone calls/emails (when I had accurate ones)... Hopefully this will be better!
 
You don't need to send a catalog to them! According to HO, they are already getting: Each host will receive a cover letter identifying you as their local Consultant, a mini-catalog and Show Benefits flyer. So all we need to do is follow up! Only one is one of my old consultants and another is one that used to be on my director's team. The rest are consultants I never knew.

Lucky you! A majority of mine are from my old consultants. Last time that didn't help me at all... in fact some were taken aback that I bothered them - lol. Well, most didn't have current contact information so I never talked to anyone so hopefully this list will be more fruitful! I am anxious to get started making the calls but it will have to wait until I get home.
 
I haven't started calling on this list, but last time I only got a response from one person. That was a gal that emailed me to remove her from my list, and I hadn't even called her yet. I got 7 pages this time too, so hopefully I can at least get something out of it.
 
Last time I got zilch but you never know.... maybe this time.
 
I called both people last night. One was from a past consultant of mine and I'm pretty sure that I helped the consultant with the catalog show. The phone number was disconnected, but I emailed and will also contact the old consultant to see if she has the current info.The second one I left a message and sent an email. She called me today and she is a hoot and a half!!! She is 67 and has the energy of a 30 year old....wish I had that energy...and I am 30! Anyhoo, she has had bad responses from being a host in the past. Her past consultant was her daughter and she was only able to get 3 people to come to that show. So, she is now coming to our cluster meeting. She would make a fabulous consultant and we have another consultant/director who is one of the top performers and is in the same age group. The lead will be able to see that it is possible!
 
Jinkies...I have 3 pages worth of leads, so I have decided to send the following email as well as a letter (to the addresses I don't have email for)

Hi, my name is Margaret Childs and I am a Director with The Pampered Chef. Our Home Office gave your information to me because the consultant that you previously worked with is no longer active. If you have another Consultant that you are working with, GREAT! If not, I would like to be able to help you! I am sending a mini-catalog that shows our new spring products as well as the March and April Host specials to you via snail-mail. If you are interested in purchasing Pampered Chef products or would like to schedule a show, please let me know. I will be including your email on my monthly newsletter unless you notify me that you do not want me to do so.

I think this was I can weed out the ones that have a consultant and get the ones that don't as well as getting a few more folks on the monthly newsletter!

of course not~! that's why I shared!
 
I got one who was originally my customer to begin with from a fair!
 
Would someone mind explaining to me what you all are talking about. I'm kinda lost.
 
Debi - a few months ago (could be up to 6) an email was sent out to some select directors letting them know that they had been chosen to try out a Host Referral program. The list they were given were made up of hosts that had been taken care of by their long-inactive (at least one year) downline consultants as well as other leads that were within a 50 mile radius. The past hosts were mailed a mini catalog and a letter with the director's information on it. The directors were asked to 1. contact the people themselves or 2. spread the leads to their downline. Some of the information was not up to date, some were correct but the past hosts weren't interested (already found another consultant, didn't want to have another show, etc.) and some were happy to find a new consultant. Just a few days ago, HO sent out another email. I didn't get one last time, but I got one this time. I have two leads on mine. Some people had pages. Does that help?

Last time I got 3 pages and none of them panned out. But this time I got 10 pages!!!:D:D As I stated in another thread a lot are from more than 50 miles away. Guess that's the benefit of living in a state like Wyoming. I get leads from 100+ miles all the time. But I am confused, why put in the FAQ that the leads are within a 50 mile radius if that is not true?:confused:
 
Did HO do the same type of mailing last time...i.e. did the "former hosts" get a letter with our name, and the mini and a host flyer? I was a brand new director when this was done last time and didn't follow up. (Bad Me). I only had a few names then; this time I have 6 full pages (2 local directors relinqusihed recently so that probably is why there are so many more.)

Also, I do plan on giving many of my leads to my downline; specifically, the ones that are geographically closer to some consultants. I also have a very dedicated consultant who has had difficulty with bookings since December and I am hoping to get her some fresh names to rekindle her biz.

I'm going to make sure ALL of them are contacted this time around!
 
So I'm just getting to these today and was looking through my list... some of these leads are over 60 miles from me... and what I noticed was that the former consultant lives within the 50-mile radius... I wonder if that's what they went by... where the consultant lives... not the host?
 
I'm so sad, I didn't get any:cry::cry:I keep checking just in case, but no luck
