OK ... I know I need to be patient and I know this takes time ... but I am getting antsy.
This weekend, mindful that I am about to embark on my last week of 40 hour employment at my regular job, I went into 3-2-1 overload. I made like 10-15 calls, sent out 24 e-mails but only connected with 5 people. (Left messages for the rest.) Did confirm details about a show with a May hostess, had an interested potential bride vow to call me back, and learned that one potential bridal show contact is no longer engaged and another is busy with her wedding ... and also is pregnant.
I am going to a cluster training (I'm double-dipping ... attending AD's training tonight and cluster training next week) and meeting with my recruiter later this week to make calls and brainstorm. She just had a baby and wants to kick her business into gear too.
She is thinking I still need to set a goal but need to be realistic and not expect $2,400 a month (what I need to make up for my lost income) right out of the gate.
Up to this point, I've done 1-2 shows a month if I was lucky, the vast majority of them catalog shows.
I know I am probably unrealistic ... but I REALLY want to book up June!
My director says what we do now will impact our business in 90 days. SO WHY DIDN'T THEY TELL US ABOUT SELL A THON IN MARCH????
