How to Follow Up With a Grocery Store Checker

[Chozengirl]

Ok, so I was in the grocery store yesterday when the checker asked me about PC. So I gave her a business card, but how do I follow up w/ her. I didn't want to ask her for her phone # while in line w/ LOTS of people around.
I am going to take her a catalog next time I go in, but how do I do this in the store?

Buy a lot of groceries so you can talk to her while she's ringing them up!

LOL! That's not a bad idea! Take a catalog & maybe have a sheet of paper with you so she can give you her name & phone number. You could always get the other info later.

I have had the same problem. I want to start taking a notepad or something with me where ever I go so I can at least jot down their names and either phone or email so that I can follow up with them. Next time you are in her line, pull out a 3x5 card or something and have her write down her name and number while you are writing the check or using the debit card machine. That way you aren't holding the line up waiting for her info.

I carry the drawing slips! She can at least tell you her name and number while she rings them up (you write!) and then you aren't "holding anyone up".

I've also heard of doing this, and in addition telling them that you're drawing for a prize after you get 5 (or however many) filled out. Hey, if there's people behind you & they hear that, maybe they'll fill one out too

I carry a ziploc sandwich bag filled with Drawing slips(I don't use them at shows so I have TONS!), a PC pen and business cards in my handbag at all times. That way when someone asks for a catalog, I can truthfully say that I don't have any on me but I would love to drop one in the mail!

Great Idea Erin..I wondering how I would do this. Also There is a great website...I think it is sticking to business that has this cute post it business card type thing with a cover. I carry that in my purse so I can write down numbers or email addresses or people to get contact info. I'll find the link for y'all.

Instead of a catalog, give them an (old) Celebrations Recipe card - stamped with your info, of course! Then offer to mail them a catalog. "What's your street address so I can mail you a current catalog?" A line like, "I'd also be happy to call you in a day or so and give you some tips on preparing this recipe. What's your number?" - very natural, very spontaneous.

God Bless You!
