I'm posting this to hold myself accountable. And to have my fellow cheffers hold me too!!:p I'm going to go home tonight and make my calls. I'm going to pick up the phone and book some shows for February. I'm not going to plan it all out and chicken out or find it's too late now or a bad time. My goal is to have at least 2 shows booked. Our CLuster SPring kickoff is this Saturday and I know it will remotivate me, but I want to show up with high spirits and good news. I already have a solid recruit lead but wihout shows that's not that great a feat. So I will report back later with my results. Wish me luck!:D:D
 
Good for you, Katie. Good luck.
 
You go girl! Three nights ago I didn't have a party on the schedule for February. In just 1 hour I had 2 cooking shows and 1 cattie show so I'm on my way to getting over the fear of the fone too! I even had a couple who said "maybe" after I did a few C/C calls from holiday shows! They are anxious to see the new items since they've shopped the f/w book. I'm thinking they'll say yes after I send them the mini s/s cat.
 
You can do it Katie!
 
Good luck!! I plan to do this within the next few days! I just sent out a mailing with magnets so I wanted that to get to their homes first, then follow up with a phone call. I have 2 shows and want 2 more for February. Gotta save for vacation!
 
You can do it! Just sit yourself down with your list and plow through it! I did Monday and got 2 cattys. I want an encore tonight (only with March shows)

Go for it!!!

Well I didn't do as well as I'd like. Partly my fault but I got one catalog show though. I made the mistake of calling friends that owed me!:). My first call I got a friend I haven't spoken to in quite some time. We spoke for awhile catching up first. When that was done I brought up PC and she agreed to a catalog show. Then I tried my current catty host to confirm meeting up Saturday to close it out. Got no answer, will email her at work tomorrow. Got a voicemail for my other friend that owes a show. Will email her tomorrow too. My last call got in touch with another friend who haven't spoken to. Honestly never got to PC I know bad. :blushing: We started talking about my birthday party and now she's taking me out while DH and BFF's are setting up for my party to get a mani pedi!!:) Trust me I intend to work my party for more leads!!;)

I'm also planning to make some calls Sunday before the big game.
 
You need to congratulate yourself. You did pick up the phone, and worked your business, now all you need is to stay consistent. Your on the right track.
 
I'm doing the same thing- only I'm not letting myself buy any of the spring product until I make my phone calls. I'm going to assign a value to each phone call. Make XX phone calls to equal $XX in product. :) I want the spring product, so I'm hoping that will motivate me enough to get started too.Congrats for the first step!

Well I sent a couple emails at work today. Those leads I wanted to email work for same company but different branches. I got one more confirmed show that was promised for Feb but decided on March but at least a solid booked March date. So we'll see what happens Sunday with my calls before the game and what orders I manage to get during game for my mystery host special.
 
I just joined this website recently and I've been on a roller coaster with my biz. I have to admit, since reading all of these posts this morning about making calls it makes me extremely motived. I LOVE the idea about getting product samples only if I make my calls! Thanks for the idea:)
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the importance of accountability in booking shows for February?

Accountability is crucial in booking shows as it helps you stay focused on your goals and commitments. By sharing your objectives with a team or mentor, you create a support system that encourages you to take action and follow through on your plans. This can lead to increased bookings and overall success in your direct sales business.

How can I effectively promote my February shows to potential hosts?

To effectively promote your February shows, utilize social media platforms, email newsletters, and personal invitations. Highlight any special promotions or themes for the month, and emphasize the benefits of hosting a show, such as earning free products and exclusive discounts. Personalize your approach to make potential hosts feel valued and excited about the opportunity.

What are some creative themes for February shows that can attract more hosts?

Consider themes like "Valentine's Day Cooking," "Super Bowl Snacks," or "Winter Comfort Foods." These themes can resonate with your audience and encourage them to host shows that align with seasonal interests. Additionally, offering themed recipes or product bundles can enhance the appeal and make the show more engaging for attendees.

How can I celebrate and cheer on my team members during February?

Celebrating your team members can be done through recognition events, shout-outs on social media, or personal messages of encouragement. Consider hosting a virtual gathering to share successes and motivate each other. Acknowledging individual achievements, no matter how small, fosters a positive team culture and boosts morale.

What strategies can I implement to ensure I meet my booking goals for February?

To meet your booking goals, set specific, measurable targets and break them down into weekly or daily tasks. Use a calendar to schedule outreach and follow-ups with potential hosts.
