3-2-1 Success Plan Suggestions and Help

[cheffiegal]

Hi all,

I'm still very new at this. I've qualified within 30 days with 4 shows just totaling under $800. When it comes to the 3-2-1 plan, I see it is an excellent idea, but need some suggestions for coming up with 3 new people to contact a day. I am almost through my list of 100 and live in a small town. Do I start just walking up to people and say, "Hi, I'm so and so with the Pampered Chef, do you like to cook?" I get very nervous when it seems to come right down to the "cold calling" part.

Hey Rebecca! Here is what I have started trying to do recently. It's definitely out of my comfort zone, but it has worked.

When you are standing in line with someone, looking at an item in a store that someone else is looking at, try to strike up a conversation with them. Compliment their jewelry, shoes, shirt, child, something) I normally try to either wear something with PC on it, coat, shirt, even a button. A lot of time I'll get the, "you sell Pampered Chef". I say, yes, I'm guessing you've heard of it, then see what they like about it and ask them if they have a consultant taking care of them. If they ask for a catalog, I tell them I don't have one with me, but ask them to give me their info and I'll mail them one. It's getting easier, still not 100% comfortable, but better. Hope this helps...you can do it!!!

I do the same thing, although I keep catalogs with me. I am a procrastinator, so mailing anything else then what I really need to is well, hard for me. I also like to know that the information is in their hands, so that when I do call them I don't have to ask if they received it yet. Which is an awkward question for me I guess. :yuck:

I heard a great suggestion from the speakers at dinner at Leadership. When someone says "Oh, do you sell Pampered Chef?" You say, "Yes, I do. How may I be of service to you?"

WOW It was a lightbulb moment to me...not pushy, but offering my services.
