I really want to continue making my 3 contacts a day, but I've pretty much tapped out my phone list now. My list of 100 wasn't quite that 100 people...but I called who I could.
I live about 3 1/2 hours from where pretty much my *entire* family lives...aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, parents, my brother...you get the idea. My sister in law is hosting a party, which much of my family is planning to attend...along with many of SIL's friends (who love PC and stoneware) and my mom's friends (it promises to be a big show). So...that pool is tapped right now. I am hopeful that I will get some bookings from it (and so is my family - more excuses to see my DD).
I'm planning on taking DD to the school I used to teach at next week (probably Mon or Tues)...and take some goodies...and go ahead and post my grand opening flyer. My grand opening isn't until Jan 6, but I want to let them know so they can plan for it. I'll continue to pop in...esp. the first week in Jan (with goodies again...teachers like goodies ) and remind them about the show. I know I'll get at least a few people from the school to my grand opening... When I go on Mon or Tues, I'm going during the lunch time hours, so I can see if some of my old colleagues would be interested in hosting a show and taking advantage of the fabulous host specials and also helping me out so I can continue to be a SAHM (and get a booming business).
I'm planning on inviting my neighbors to my grand opening too...but haven't run into several of them lately. I will probably hand deliver the invitation flyer to them...so that I can talk to them (and maybe get a show booked )
My husband also works in a company where all the women love him...so I'm planning on putting him to work and having him deliver some grand opening flyers. (I told him that although he believes that it's not possible to earn a decent amount of money w/ PC, after I purchase the kit, he's not allowed to say anything negative. He promised to support me 100%...which means no negativity - only helpful suggestions and positive encouragement!) So, when he delivers the flyers - he can only say things such as - "My wife has recently started her own PC business and she's super excited about it. She's having a grand opening show on Jan 6...and when she asked about who from work might be interested in great products and a fun time, I thought of you. Here's her flyer...I hope you can make it." Okay, okay...I'm clearly in fantasyland.
When I originally started this post, it was supposed to be a "sigh" b/c I'm so motivated to make phone calls and fill my calendar, but don't have anyone left to call right now. Dang it - I want to cross out my 100 No's before the end of Dec!! Reading my post, I realize I have a lot more leads and things going on...but I don't want to wait until my grand opening show to get any more shows booked...I want a full Jan now! (okay, before Christmas!) I have 5 cooking shows and 1 catty definite in Jan, plus 2 more people want to host, but aren't sure when. I think I can convince 1 to be in Jan...but the other may not be until March.
Should I just be happy with what I have going on or do you have any suggestions? I'm in such a phone calling mood!
