Where is everyone? I hope since you're not here, that means you're away on vaca somewhere nice!!!
Did anyone participate in the call from our Sales Managers at HO? Yesterday I participated in a call with Amy Neal. I originally wasn't going to make it and asked if it was going to be recorded and she said no... it was interactive and recording it wouldn't work. So I rescheduled myself to be on the call. We were on for about 15 minutes where she introduced the August Ambush concept... we were to make calls starting right then for 30 minutes to *Makeover* our businesses. Then we called back in and reported our results.
Now, I'm one that doesn't like things sprung on me. :sick: But I sucked it up and made 30 minutes of calls. I didn't get any yeses or nos but that was okay. I was pretty scattered... I didn't have a plan of who to call or what to say so it was tough.
Then she challenged us to make 30 minutes of calls every day for a week. :yuck:
I just finished day #2 of my 30-minute calling blitz. This is like bootcamp! It was better today and a bit less stressful... I got 3 that might be interested in hosting in the fall... need to call back after Labor Day (seems to be a common theme) and got 1 no... but then she thought about it and wants to talk in September. I made a script for voicemail messages (revised several times as I made the calls) and then when I got a live person, I used the Full-Service Customer Care Call Script from the July meeting planner.
So we will see... at least it's good that I'm back on the phone! arty: And I'm feeling proud if myself!
Who else is participating in the August Ambush (or whatever your HO sales manager is calling it)? What do you think about it??
