I just called a fair lead that was interested in hosting and or being a consultant. Unfortunately she had to cut call short to go pick up her daughter and told me to call her back tomorrow. She gave me her email on her drawing slip and I was thinking of sending an email with some info that she may see before I call her tomorrow when I get home from work. I'm just curious if there are any flyers or listing of info that would be good to send her. She only really had time to tell me she was curious about it. She also said she's home all day cause she does child care from home so I think she'd be a great person to sell. Any help you can give me asap would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
 
I found a really good flyer here a couple of days ago that had 10 common questions/5 apron sizes. Lots of great information on one page!!
Search 5 apron and it will probably come up-I'm pretty sure it was by Kelly the Chef.
HTH!!

:D:D:D:D:Dwoo hoo I'm about to sign my first recruit. I sent her the no risk recruiting flyer and she skimmed through it. She definitely said she wants to sign up and she's coming to my clusters Fall Kick Off on Monday and we'll probably sign her paperwork by the end of the week. (she's in the process of moving:eek:). Yay now if I can get my other potential recruit to sign up and some shows booked for September I've got 1 for October and 1 for November so far but none for September, I'll be all set. I'm halfway to one of my goals 1 more to future director and I've got another possible consultant lead from fair. I also need to call the rest of my show leads from fair so I think I can accomplishe 4shows a month if I really try and stop being afraid to ask and to call:blushing::yuck:. I'm just so excited I had no idea I'd get a consultant so quick!!!!!
 
Hello there!Thank you for reaching out to me and expressing your interest in hosting and/or becoming a consultant with Pampered Chef. I understand that you had to cut our call short to attend to your daughter, but I am glad that you provided me with your email address. I would be more than happy to send you some information that you can review before our call tomorrow.I have attached a flyer to this email that outlines the benefits of hosting a Pampered Chef party, as well as the potential earnings as a consultant. I believe that these would be helpful in giving you a better understanding of what we have to offer.Additionally, I would love to schedule a time to chat with you about your interest in hosting and/or becoming a consultant. As you mentioned, you are home all day due to your child care business, and I think that would make you an excellent addition to our team. Please let me know what time works best for you tomorrow and I will give you a call.Thank you again for considering Pampered Chef. I am excited to speak with you and answer any questions you may have. Have a great day!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to follow up with potential leads after a fair?

The best way to follow up with potential leads after a fair is to send a personalized email within 24-48 hours. In your email, thank them for visiting your booth, remind them of any specific products they showed interest in, and invite them to ask any questions. This prompt follow-up shows your enthusiasm and helps keep the conversation going.

How should I structure my follow-up email?

Your follow-up email should start with a warm greeting, followed by a thank you for their interest. Include a brief recap of your conversation or their interests, and provide additional information about the products or hosting opportunities. Conclude with a clear call to action, such as scheduling a follow-up chat or inviting them to a cooking show.

What should I avoid in my follow-up emails?

Avoid being overly salesy or pushy in your follow-up emails. Focus on building a relationship rather than just making a sale. Additionally, steer clear of generic templates; personalization is key. Ensure your emails are concise and free of jargon, making them easy to read and understand.

How can I make my follow-up emails more engaging?

To make your follow-up emails more engaging, include visuals such as product images or links to recipes that feature the products they were interested in. You can also share testimonials or success stories from other hosts or customers. Adding a personal touch, like referencing a specific conversation you had, can also enhance engagement.

When is the best time to send follow-up emails?

The best time to send follow-up emails is within 24-48 hours after the fair. This timing helps keep your interaction fresh in their minds. If you don’t receive a response, consider sending a gentle reminder email about a week later. Timing can vary based on your audience, so pay attention to when they seem most responsive.
