How can I jumpstart my sales after a 7-month break?

[Boomerjojo]

So, I have not been selling for at least 7 months now and I really want to get back into it. Does anyone have ideas to get new customers? All of my friends say they have no money and keep telling me they will book at a later date.

I just met someone who is thinking about a show and I feel so out of practice with this whole selling thing. Any ideas or suggestions for all this would be wonderful. I am really hoping to get this party booked on Monday and hopefully more will follow.

Thanks in advance!

Tell your friend you would really appreciate their help. Explain you want to get your business started again. You can also offer to provide the ingredients. If they still don't want to have a show ask them if they know anyone who would be interested.

Make sure to offer your service too. Tell them about the $2 per serving recipes. Or the Power Cooking Show. Act excited about the fall specials and the new products.

Pamper a business like many have talked about on threads her on CS.

Call some of your past hosts and customers. Tell them about the Chillzanne being discontinued and then ask if they would like to hear about the upcoming host specials.

All Rhonda said AND watch your training dvd again - practice your show again - just like riding a bike - it will all come back to you! Best of luck!

I am also restarting after about 10 months...i started by throwing my own show. I invited 80 people...10 showed up and i got 3 confirmed bookings and about 10 possible bookings. My husband works today so I am spending the afternoon confirming those bookings.

GOOD LUCK!
