    Ready to Declutter Your Office and Focus on One Business?

    I have decided I'm going to (really need to) focus on one business and I have the most recruits and shows with my other business. I can't be distracted anymore with this stuff in my office. If anyone is interested PM me for a list if you are interested. Thank you all for the great ideas.

    Overcoming Sales Slumps: Tips and Support for Maintaining a Positive Attitude

    The one I use more regularly you have to book in advance, they get very busy and yes, other vendors go there often and use the room. The one I went to yesterday, they are not as busy and I talked to them last minute and it was fine. The one with the VIP room I have tried to book within two...

    Overcoming Sales Slumps: Tips and Support for Maintaining a Positive Attitude

    I just take a small table display, a little out of each category, and I try to choose some more popular items or go with the season. Like the collapsible bowl is great to demo there, you don't have to have food in it and there are still alot of people who have not yet seen it. I did my drawing...

    Overcoming Sales Slumps: Tips and Support for Maintaining a Positive Attitude

    Just make sure you ask what Panera expects of you. Some expect you to spend at least $50, now if you have guests come who purchase food, they can put that towards your total. Some will say that and not stick to the $50. The one I was at today did not expect me to even make a purchase, but I...

    Overcoming Sales Slumps: Tips and Support for Maintaining a Positive Attitude

    Went to Panera, only got $145 in orders but booked "4 shows" for June...I'm happy with that. The one I went to today doesn't have a VIP room so they will allow you to come in and set up your own table. I just do a nice display and a drawing and then just start talking to people. You kind of...

    Overcoming Sales Slumps: Tips and Support for Maintaining a Positive Attitude

    My to-do list has had the same names under people to call, too. And I had two people cancel because they are afraid that showers, graduations, etc are going to get in the way...like all of those parties are happening on the same day - the day they happened to pick??? People are still buying...

    Overcoming Sales Slumps: Tips and Support for Maintaining a Positive Attitude

    That is a concern of mine, too. My fiances income is slowly getting smaller and smaller. I feel pretty secure in my 9-5 job right now (I work at the welfare office, we are very busy), he works for Schwan's and he has definitely seen a cut in his pay recently. Normally I don't rely so much on...

    Overcoming Sales Slumps: Tips and Support for Maintaining a Positive Attitude

    Hi all, I don't usually post, but I do come to read and get ideas...that I must say thank you so much for. When I come on here and read, I get what I'm not getting from training, etc. In all my years of direct sales I have never had a week like this one. Everyone (family and people at work)...

    Waiting for Window Decals: Shipping Issues with Online Order

    I had ordered a few things on February 9th from Merrill, including the decals. I received the decals two weeks after getting everything else and then just Friday there was a charge on my account. I called Merrill and said why did you charge me this amount I did not order anything recently...

    Is it the salt or is it perhaps the lack of salt that you are tasting?

    Just a thought...I was taught that baking soda and baking powder do not work without salt...the salt causes the two to react. Shelley

    Silpada or Pampered Chef - Need Info

    coming from a Silpada repI actually sell Silpada..and I can say I absolutely love PC and Silpada just as much. As for what you make on the shows, it's close to the same, we make 30% commission. It's $199 to start and then you may purchase as much jewelry as you wish (1 per piece) at 50% off...

    Is My Performance as a Host Getting Worse?

    Check your attitude...how can you say you "know" they don't care about signing up? I thought that about my sister for two years until she came to me one day and said "can I sign?". I thought she was way too busy with her full time job, full time life, etc. Try reading each day, Jeffery...
