What is leads: Definition and 150 Discussions

I don't know that this has been addressed before but I want to put it out there but this is a question about leads. When calling people to book shows you would always book with cooking show leads first over bridal or craft fair leads wouldn't you. So you hosts can get their host benefits at...

Do home office leads just go to directors and above or can a consultant get one? Just curious how that works. Lisa

Just wanting to put something in the local newspaper about Pampered Chef. I'm trying to get new leads and thought that if any of you have done this before, maybe you can post or PM me what you have used in the past. TIA

Does anyone have a script that they use when calling bridal leads from an expo? I just did a bridal fair on Saturday and got 11 registry leads and 8 bridal shower leads. I wanted to call them and let them know they've won something and offer an incentive if they book a bridal shower. What...

I'm trying to "branch out more" what you found to be most effective in finding new leads? I do know how effective fairs and booths have been for me in the past, I'm looking for other ideas to met a stranger.

I saw a file here posted by Teresa which was a coupon for a free cooking show. I thought I'd try it last night. I paper clipped it to a SB cookbook and did the Right Left game. I explained to the guests prior to the game about the wonderful SB cookbook I was giving away and how the free PC...

I have a HUGE problem talking to people I don't know. How do you guys get leads from the grocery store or something? I can't get leads from shows, because I don't have any. lol Any advice?

I just put PC in for my taxes and we are getting almost an extra 1000 dollars back because of everything I can deduct, woohooo. We are thinking about a family vacation with that money!!

My SS month begins in January. I had six shows booked (one is my own open house) but three disclosed that they have a PC consultant elsewhere. They were just booking with me since we are friends. Ethically, I cannot do that so I thanked them profusely but insisted that I wanted to run my...

Could anyone please share with me the verbage that you use when making follow - up calls for leads from craft fairs, etc??? Thanks in advance!

I'm wondering which is more successful out of these options. You can select more than one option if you like. I would also be awesome if you could add a post to explain what advertising etc has worked. I think this could be very helpful for myself as well as many other trying to decide where...

I am a new director and have had 2 recruit leads from the home office: 1 - Left name, email, address, phone number. I called & briefly talked to her - dropped off catalog and info on the business at her apartment. Followed up with an email. Did not hear back. Gave it 3 days for her to read...

I'm desperate to break out of my 4 - 5 shows a month ceiling I seem to have at the moment, thing is I don't have a huge list of leads to call to book shows so I'm sort of stuck. I don't want to badger the same people over and over again, so need to generate some new leads. Where do you get...

Do any of you wear PC shirts, etc? If so, do you find it brings you many leads? Just wondering if it's worth it....

Hi, Besides getting involved with David's Bridal to get leads for the Wedding Registry, where else do you get leads? I have had one registry so far, but it flopped. I'm looking to make PC part-time and not full time anymore and want to get into this avenue. I know there are Bridal fairs...

I thought this was just great. I had to take my older son to urgent care for a spranged toe. Well, I knew it would take a while so I took my PC binder to work on some stradegies. Well I put it down while the nurse was in the room, and she started raving about PC. I gave her a card and told...

Is anyone having luck wtih their leads they got from a bridal fair? We did one in Feb, a month before the registry started. I was good with the follow up leading up to March or at least thought I was and have nothing to show for it. I think since we had nothing to show them on our website for...

Hi all :) I have access to a Bridal Leads List and I believe that it is a monthly list thought a Bridal Show Web Site and Company that I have worked with before exhibiting at their shows and also advertising on their web site. They are one of the premium and most well-known Bridal Show...

I have to admit I don't know what happened...an acquaintance approached me and said she was interested in signing, we met to talk and she came to a show of mine but then decided to go with selling The Body Shop products. I felt like saying "Are you crazy!?", but she said she felt more...

I have someone that I know that works for a different home based business and she suggested this. Its boxes that you make up to get leads. Like putting register to win (prize). do a drawing for the prize and contact everyone else to see if they want to book a show or anything else. I had never...

Could any one give an example of a letter or script to use after receiving a list of leads? Very new to this vendor thing! Thank you!:rolleyes:

I'm looking for ways to find new leads. What has worked for you?

At Nat. Conference, I overheard a director talking to her team saying, if you were ever shy of bookings or wanted recruits, to go to the mall wearing your apron and you could book a lot. Has anyone done this? :confused: Twice I've tried, I got so nervous about 'trespassing' or breaking...

Wow! I am just so excited that I had to post! I have 5 leads from my cooking show tonight! One is the hostess and 4 are guests! This is 4 out of 10 guests! And now I have to share with you how I did it! I have attached the coupon that some other "genius" made and passed onto me! I included...

Ok just wondering......I know I read it somewhere but now I can't find it, in my papers, or on here........I must be looking in the wrong places. :confused: Does anyone know if the leads from the PC website, when a customer types in a zip code.........do those leads go only to directors with...

You are all very wonderful on coming up with some great ideas so thought I would run this by and see what everyone thought about these ideas on getting additional booking leads and hopefully booking shows the same day as the bazaar. Here it goes: I thought about doing grab bags for $5...

Okay, so here is my (semi) final tally from the fair I did a couple of weeks ago. 8 bookings with 3 'after the holidays'. 5 recruit leads- 1 definate, 3 VERY interested, and 1 who's not sure. (And one of these girls wants to do this but is getting ready to move to Virginia!) I've also...

I just had to share - we had a garage sale this weekend. We will be moving in about a year (yea!) so we are starting to sort out what we don't use now. Anyway, I had a PC table set up...no products out though because I didn't want any ridiculous offers!! I had some catalogs from last season...

I was reading this weeks "Weekly Bites" and they were talking about the guy who is going through all his old recruit leads that said they werent interested at the time and asking him if now was a better time. Tell me, has anyone had success doing this? :confused: (meaning, have any of you...
