Okay, this lesson has been drilled into my head from the past two days! I always put my contact info on things I give out, but I wanted to share what will happen if you do!
Yesterday I received a call from a gal who is having a PC party tonight with a consultant she doesn't like. Apparently this consultant hasn't communicated much with her, told her we didn't do fundraisers (she is on a Relay team) and just doesn't seem interested in her at all! She booked from a friend's show with this consultant. I did tell her that the bookings follow the host, not the consultant and she really brightened up at that idea. I then said that ethically I could not come tonight and do her show since the other consultant (presumably) has worked on it. She didn't want that. What she wanted was my fundraiser (I do mine differently than PC). She said anyone who books will be getting my contact info, too. And, we're probably doing another show for her in July since there are different specials and more free products that can be raffled or silent auctioned for her Relay team. How did she get my info? I did a Relay fundraiser where she works at the beginning of May. I printed up invitation flyers with my info on it and she grabbed one and held onto it.
Today I received a call from a lady who had my card and can't remember where she got it. She called and left a message saying she wanted to order a few items. She followed up with an email with her order in it. $90 order for giving out a business card!!!
Moral of the story - PLASTER YOUR CONTACT INFO ON EVERYTHING YOU GIVE OUT!
