I am so excited! I worked 2 6-hour shifts at the local County Fair Thursday (opening day) and today! I had $141.50 in sales!! One paid in cash and one paid by credit card! One of the ladies said she would go look at the mini-catalog I gave her (doesn't have a computer) and would call me if she decided to get more things! Talked to one lady who is getting married November 15th and wants to put in all PC in her "new" kitchen!:love: She is in her late 30s to early 40s, so she is really excited! I met him too and she is going online to pick out what she wants! I told her if it totalled over $150 in sales, I would let her count it as a Show and she could get free stuff! She was really excited about that! Talked to a couple who had never heard of PC but he loves to cook.:chef: They too want to check out my website and maybe do a Show. I got 11 "new customers" who want my newsletters and specials, but don't want to do a show, just "place orders"! I also got 8 ladies who want to book Shows! WOOHOO!:love::love: Used the Pampered Pool idea I got on here and have 25 squares filled now! Want to get those other 25 filled but if they don't in the next week, I am just going to draw a name for the $50 instead of $100! I more than got my money's worth out of what I paid of my share of the booth! I handed out some of the recipe "thank you for visiting my booth" on Thursday that I got from here then got a Director (not mine) who helped at the booth to sell me some of the older recipe cards for today! I put my info tags on them and they really helped start some great conversations! I have another booth locally in October so I am spending part of my commission from September on more recipe cards to pass out! That seems to be the best thing to give! People want to try to recipes and won't throw away that card!:chef:
Anyway, just had to celebrate! So far I have one Catalog Show coming in over $300, those two orders which with a little help could be a Show, and one other Cooking Show that has $82 now and hope to close it at $150 or above. I know some people have huge Shows but I just haven't gotten there yet! I know that I will though with some of these new contacts!
I plan on calling them next Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday. I also plan to send them all my October Tasty Tidbits newsletter so they will know I am thinking of them! They all said they wanted to receive my newsletter! Thought I would put in a blurb like, "Hey to all my new friends I met at the Foothills Country Fair on September 25th or 27th! I look forward to helping you with your Pampered Chef needs/wants in the coming months!" Does that sound corny or okay? Please help me with those things!
Course all 8 ladies who entered the drawing for a "Free Show" are winners, don't you know!:thumbup: I will let them know that as well!
I can't thank all of you who have shared ideas, "what works", and suggestions/encouragements with me since I joined in July! This website has more than paid me back on the money I put into it when I joined!
