I had a consultant join in March. She never did anything. I booked a show for her at her show with someone who was VERY excited. She never did it and I felt really bad for this lady because she was SO EXCITED to have a party. Anyway.....I saw another friend of hers at a party recently and...

Hey all - I am a Girl Scout leader and just got a look at our new badge books that take effect 10/1. There is a rollout of new badges for all girl levels this year that supercedes the previous badge books (this is a transition year, though, so they can still earn the old badges). Across the...

What is a tasteful way to say in an email or on the phone "I've lost my job and need help!!" Anyone have something they used before. I know with close friends and family I can just basically say that but I wanted to start calling all my past hosts and send out an email to all my contacts...

Always wear logowear or carry SOMETHING that identifies you as a PC consultant! Today I had to go in for a Bone Density Scan. It's a rainy, yucky day. I was going there and then right home. The tech saw my shirt and asked. We talked about PC and her little quikut paring knife during the...

I have been approached by other DS consultants to sign with that company and I have a hard time explaining why I can't - um, "I signed a contract saying I wouldn't" doesn't seem to get through to them. So, what do you say? Another issue came up this morning. A facebook friend asked me to...

I have 2 opportunities the last week in May, vastly different opportunites, and I've never done anything like either of them before. First - My bank does a "business of the week" featured Table in their entry way. I inquired into this last Fall, and discovered it's very popular - the first...

I always seem to be too late with my discoveries and another consultant is already signed up. :grumpy:

(No, not the alternative band compilation album from Sire/Warner Brothers from 1987.) Sometimes ideas that can be applied to PC biz are found in random and unexpected places. This weekend's USA Weekend newspaper insert has an article about Fall movies, with little tidbits about them. In the...

Okay - in the past 3 days, while "out and about" I have been approached by 4 different people wanting to know if I sell PC (of course I'm always a walking billboard). In every instance except one - I gave them a catalog with my info, but didn't get info from them in return. I KNOW I should...
