OK, so I didn't get my MAC calls done on Tuesday. (I call 'em DAC, cause rarely do I call in the morning--day after calls!) I made it a goal to get them done yesterday though. I sat down at 5:15 & was determined to not get up until I had called them all! Took about an hour, mostly left messages....felt like a broken record at the end, repeating pretty much the same message! I got about 8-10 live people. I don't know why I don't do this after every show....maybe a new goal for me. People are so surprised that you're actually just calling them to say "thanks". (and I did get 2 more potential bookings for the fall
Not set in stone, but I'll get back with them with the new catty & I'm sure they'll book then!) I also have a recruit lead....she marked maybe on the slip & didn't order, so hopefully I'll get ahold of her today! Cross your fingers for me!

LAcy that deserves a bigWAAA HOOOOOO as Jean Jonas would say. Absotively posilutely fantabulous!
And you were doing all the right things. I will have you know that your post has inspired me. I am taking notes and I am gonna go for it. I am terrible at follow up. I figured that out at conference. I also do not take charge of my own destiny by handling the invites my self. The few times I did do it, the shows were great. One hit the $1638 I have posted as my high show. Thank you for sharing this as it makes a difference to see that this "extra" stuff does work!
Again a big WAAA HOOO to you Lacy!

Sorry guys! For some reason this hasn't shown up under new posts; I guess I kinda forgot about it!
Thanks for the 'wahoo's' John! Glad it motivated you do try these calls. I really now think that if you're just doing customer care calls & not necessarily to book/recruit, then people remember that--and when they DO need to order, they'll call YOU!
The show ended up at $1400 I'm following up with the recruit lead today!
