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

Spent a couple hours this afternoon making phone calls - I'm gone tonight, so won't be able to make calls....

Only one live contact though - With a guest from Monday's show - she had marked on her card that she would be interested in a Catalog Show, but I didn't ask about catalog shows during check out, just cooking shows...so, called, and now she will be doing a catalog show in August! Whoo Hooo!

Left voice messages w/ 3 recruit leads, and also left voice messages for a couple booking leads.

Left 3 messages with kids - almost like not calling at all in my book!

I'll be at a Car Show tonight, so will be ready to do business while I'm there!

Made calls last night. Got 2 call me in the fall. 1 wanted to order the large micro cooker, but said she wanted to look a little bit more on the website. I honestly didn't think I would here from her, but she called me this morning and decided to book a August catalog show instead
Probably no calls for me this evening. I have my 4 and my SIL's 3. 7 kids who have no volume control is not a good environment for calls.

Good day for Rae! I met two lovely ladies in the grocery who asked for my contact info. We talked about PC and also about healthy eating. They're new friends.

Talked with three other ladies later in the day. I now have a September catty & an October catty.

Made a couple calls, no answer. I did give out a mini catalog to a girl at work.
I will hopefully get a hold of some people tomorrow!!

Back from my show tonight. Only 3 in attendence. Not quite a qualified show but I did manage to score an August 14th booking! That puts me up to 6...only 2 more to reach my goal.

I also have a potential fundraiser that would be like a kids in the kitchen type thing. No date set for that though.

I had a couple of contacts yesterday. Added one to my e-mail newsletter list and another was a booking lead that I continue to follow up with. Again, she asked that I call late August, for a September show. (She is in the process of moving). She was also a recruit lead, so when I mentioned the promo, she said she is now working 2 jobs. (Suggestions, anyone?)

Also, while closing out a show from last week, the host mentioned a friend could not order at the time, but if it would help her show, she would book a show. The host was not comfortable with giving me her phone #, so I told her if she could get the booking for me, I would give her an extra incentive at that booked show.

She wants to book a show - but you can't have her phone #? That's silly!


For the one working 2 jobs - do you know what those jobs are, and if she likes her boss/hours/pay? Let her know that the bookings from her show can be hers, and that the show could even be her kick off show to get her started!

My show tonight was a total flop. There were supposed to be 10-15 people there. Nope. It was host and host's sister. At the very end her mom showed up to place a $9 order. Sales are at $79 (due to outside orders). We are hoping it'll qualify. I have had some really low show totals this month. Yikes.

Anyway, host said no to the opportunity, sister said no to the opportunity but booked a show for September 19th. So I guess it wasn't a total loss.

Made a couple contacts yesterday. The first one was to follow up with a host that had postponed her show. Have a potential booked date at the end of September for her.

The second contact was a call back from someone I had called the night before, and left a message with the person that answered the phone. That resulted in a booking during the August booking blitz week.

I took the kids to a local county fair yesterday. Of course I had on my PC t-shirt!
Luckily no PC person in the comercial bldg. I made a few contacts. 1 needs a new cherry olive pitter. I told her they were discontinued but could maybee find her one. She also had another product Q. I got her info and will check into it for her.
I stopped at a church booth. They had it set up for kids to just play... It was so nice! Got to chatting with a gal there. One lady had a friend who used to sell and loved it. Told her about how fun it is for me to help families find new fun things foe easy meals. Not to mention how to keep them economical. The gal thought that was cool. Ended up just giving her my card.

returned from a weekend trip with my DH to a message about a past host wanting to schedule a show. I mailed minis before I left. Couldn't get her on the phone, so maybe later. Back to calls tomorrow!

Glad someone posted on this thread...too lazy to look for it today - I'm tired!

I had a show an hour away yesterday. 5 guests, all family. Sister of one of the guests sells PC so they "yeah, yeahed" whenever I talked about that and didn't seem interested but at least I still mentioned it! I still got two bookings from them. One for the sister of the PC rep and one from the niece. Odd, but I'll take them, they seem to be a nice group!

The show is at $350 right now, low for the drive, but she claims she has another 6-7 orders coming in. I'm hoping it hits at least $500, but I'll be happy with $400 to get my 2nd show in for the month and have a $1000 month.

I talked to my catalog show host via e-mail today. She can't get stuff to me by 7/31, but will have it by 8/2. Not too bad...I don't NEED it for incentives, so I guess I'll just make a bigger August. I have 3 shows for August and 2 for September now (all cooking) so I'm above my average. ...that's o.k. - need to pay for that dehumidifier I bought today!

Had a show tonight. ANOTHER low sales show. Just at $200 with 8 guests there. Had a lady saying "I have that and don't like it at all" to just about everything I talked about. Guess what? SHE'S the one that booked an October show. Had a "maybe someday when my life calms down" recruit lead too. I gave her some info.

Then I came home and got a random call for a booking! YAY! I have to call her back tomorrow to finalize a date.

Good job everyone! I did not do anything this weekend (shame on me!). Instead I watched my 2 cousins Friday afternoon/night and added 2 more cousins for Saturday night and this morning. I was finally back home and child free around 7pm and I just vegged in the quiet . I am determined to get 2 more August bookings this week!

Hi - my name's Debbie and I've been in Pampered Chef since September. I've submitted a few postings (mainly questions, of course), and this 3-2-1 Success for 2008/2009 looks like it would be a great way for me to keep on track and have to hold myself accountable to something! Can anyone explain to me what to do to get involved in this "club"? Do i just submit postings on a daily/weekly basis and try to stay up on my 3-2-1 plan? I'd love to do this with you guys! May I join in?

Debbie

Debbie,

Just join on in! I was doing well last year then dropped off this thread when grad school started and was talked into coming back to keep me on track. It's great having someone to motivate you and keep you accountable when you need it! Welcome!

I had a show today for my sister. It went well, is at almost 200 with only 3 orders and quite a few more expected to come in. I am hoping she gets to at least 500. I got one booking from my other sister and one possible booking.

Debbie - like Alison said - just join in! It's a place to come to stay accountable for doing 3-2-1. Some of us post every day, and some just post once a week or so....whatever you need to keep yourself accountable!

Welcome!
