Default Re: 3-2-1 Success For 2008/2009!!!

I think this is a great idea. I have been selling Pampered Chef for 4 years. I was at Conference when they first announced 3-2-1. I thought it was a great concept, especially the 2 shows a week. That one was the easy one for me. I think after wave 3 conference this year, I finally got it. Maybe it's that thing where you hear it and hear it and one day it clicks. Anyway, I just told my husband today that it is one of my goals since going to NC, among many others. So I guess, I too, am a lurker that has finally come out into the light!!

Welcome into the light, chezshelly!

I had four contacts today--five if you count the firmed-up September booking.

My only solid contact today was an order for a rectangle stone. I will take it! I still have time for a few more calls so we will see!

Default Re: 3-2-1 Success For 2008/2009!!!

I went to dinner with my 3 aunts and a cousin and asked my Aunt if she would have a party. I didn't get a solid no, but not a solid yes either. I'm watching my cousins while she is up north with my uncle for her bday weekend, so I'll bring it up again (along with a host packet ) when I see her then. I also got 1 aunt who said she would come and my cousin who said she may even come (this cousin said she will never, ever buy anything direct sales or do a party or go to a party, so we're making progress). I also mailed 2 catalogs and a mini, so I will follow up with the full catalogs (met them on the plane coming home from conference) next week (I have their work info).

I'm so proud of myself for asking my aunt - she was my first host ever (and a $1000 host too) and hasn't had a show since (28 months). She tried giving me excuses, like who would come (that's when my other aunt and cousin said they would) and said nobody will buy anything (I said how do you know?) and I also mentioned there are 2 years of new products. I'm going to try for an early August show...

Maybe your Aunt is fearful that she won't be able to match her previous show?

I'm doing the happy dance! I signed a recruit today!! She puts me back at the FD status. Do any of you Directors live near Las Vegas? She'll need hospitality. I live in Oregon.

That's what I started thinking. I will see her this weekend, so I will tell her that while she did an AMAZING show last time, it doesn't have to be that big to be a successful show. I am also going to tell her my goal to network more and how I was very nervous my first show and would like to reconnect with those people. (and I'll just happen to have a host packet with me) As it is my aunt and she is helping me out I would even send out her invites for her and mention the online thing and how easy that is. Thanks for the suggestions!

Are you using your 100 No's sheet? At least your nos today would help get you to a reward

Too tired to be specific but everyone did great with contacts today. I was "on vacation", so I'll try to get back to work tomorrow.

Thanks for the congrats. My director was gone today, so didn't get my message. I had to share with someone. You all can do it too. Go back and look at your rolling list of recruit leads, former hosts, anyone that you think would be interested in starting the business and that will be excited about this great offer.

I went to a ball game tonight and one of the mothers saw my Pampered Chef catalog tote and she wanted one, so I gave her one and she had so many items she wanted that tomorrow I'm going to offer her a show to get them all for free! We have a game for the next four days, so I will be seeing her a lot.

Had a party last night, so made 10 contacts there. Got one booking for September. Now, as my goal is to get 2 bookings per party, I have to get on the phone and get another booking before my next party.

Have to follow up today as well with some people who want September parties and I have 2 host packets to deliver, so will get some contacts there too.

No contacts for me yesterday. I left a voicemail or two, but then went to the pool for a Bday party.

got an order at swimming yesterday and a possible booking for Dec. got a few voucemails. Had a registry consult. I am pretty sure she will register.
That's it. I need to do some office cleaning and get folders ready for a show Sunday.

So far today I have talked to one past host (mailed her a mini and my mag bus card as she lost it), left a message for a hopeful Aug booking and got a "she will have to call you back" from my 1 confirmed August booking. I'm just proud of myself for picking up that phone!

Just got my 8/20 show moved to 8/13!!!!
Calling my other August host to finalize her date TONIGHT - I'm hoping she'll go for the 14th!

It'll be an INSANE week but it'll be good to get everything done at once. (I already have the 11th, 12th, 15th and 16th filled with other things).

Also need to call my mom who is coming up the 16th-19th to see if she'll come a day or two early and spend time with my kids so they do not miss mom as much!
