What is asking: Definition and 49 Discussions

First of all the joyous news I got today! - Tammy is 39 and has 2 boys, 6 & 8. She just found out after trying for 4 years that she is pregnant!!! YAY! We are so thrilled and besides her hubby, I am the only one that knows. She is 5 weeks along. We are praising God but at the same time...

It's probably been covered before, but what in your opinion is the best way to ask for referrals? I would like to double my business and that means double the shows and recruits! I need a way to ask thats not pushy or prepackaged or salesman-ish. Thanks!

Over a month ago I submitted a product adjustment for a show. The host received two extra items and was missing two items. The two extra items were tiny--like less than $5 each. I received an email back that they were shipping the two new items and then another email saying that they were sorry...

I have a red hoodie, size small, that I purchased from a fellow Cheffer and it's a little bigger than I like. It zips up the front & has the PC logo in yellow on the left chest. I have never worn it. Asking $10 (what I paid for it) plus shipping. Email me with questions or for pics. Thanks!

My neighbor loves cooking, catering etc. He talks to me often about PC. I just had my first kids show last weekend...and they booked a show with me. Today they tell me (I say they because the wife is telling me the info about her hubby) that he really wants to do PC. So, Im still new to this...

This phrase was on a training tape that I listened to a few months back. It really hit home cause I have LONG been relucatant to "ask everyone". But this phrase helps my brain connect the dots and the more I've been asking, the more success I've gotten. Case in point, I did a show this week...

I'm not sure if this has been talked about before, but I just wanted to throw this out there...... We have a local city only forum that's simular to this one except for everything Lawrence Kansas. I saw a post on it from a MK Rep that wanted some help having a fundraiser to help the local...

I am doing my taxes today. Well, my wonderful job change this past year is killing me in taxes. I will definely be changing my W-4 at work Monday. I am going to pay for the first time in 30 years. So I am making sure I am doing the PC part correctly. I am doing a schedule C and...

Okay, let's see if I can put this into a short story. I have an awesome recruit who is only one person away from becoming Director. She recruits like crazy and has more than enough shows each month. She LOVES doing this! Also, she has Celiac disease (gluten free) as well as Lupus and some...

Help! I have a catalog show and the host is using my website to send out the invites / information. When she selects the person and select E-Invitations, it says "join us for a catty show....." then Please RSVP by clicking on one of the following links: with a button for I will...

Ok So I have been a consultant for almost 4 years. I have been working harder lately on recruiting. Talking about it more at my shows. Still working on asking all my hosts... Well Imagine my surprise to get a message from a November host it was a reply email from her regarding the stone sale...

As of yesterday morning I had nothing on my calendar as far as shows. I was at work yesterday, not really in the mood to be there so I send out a few emails. I now have 2 cooking shows and a catalog show on the books for February. I told them that they would be helping meet a goal too since it...

I am a Future and I submitted $1700 the first part of the month, but I didn't get my FD bonus. Do they only give that out at the end of the month?

I thought that would get everyone's attention. My host and her roomful of pro cooks and chef's last night LOVED our new forged cutlery, BUT they complained about the fact that we don't sell a carry case to go with our knives. Pro Cooks and Chef's carry their tools back and forth from the house...

Okay, so there are three potential people I want to ask to do a cooking or catty show for August, I am guessing these three will all want to do catty shows, SO does anyone have a sample letter I can take notes from, I am not sure how to word it in a way to get the best results, all help is...

Hey everyone, I have a lady that I go to church with that is a breast cancer survivor. I have known her for years. I was thinking about asking her to maybe do a fundraiser since she was a survivor but not sure how to approach her without sounding callous or greedy. she knows I sell PC. she...

Has anybody ever heard of PC having a Tuna Strainer? I have a client asking about it (through my mother so I don't have details). The only things I could think of suggesting would be the egg separator, citrus press, or colander set. Anybody have any ideas? :confused:

The No Show ShowAfter some really excellent host-coaching on my part (if I do say so myself), and follow-up reminder calls, and a confirmed attendance number of ELEVEN, not a soul showed up to this poor host's party tonight. What would you have done in this situation? I was making garden...

At my meeting last week I went around the room and asked everyone to share the name of a store that they go into often enough that either a sales clerk or store mgr would recognize them. Some of those places shared were Walgreen's pharmacy, Culvers, local grocery store, etc... Using one of...
