Anyone Going to Wave 2 From Philly Area?

[Becky0216]

I have only been doing PC Since Feb. so I am brand new also. I have had 8 shows submitted so far, but that was all friends that threw shows together for me. Now I am running out of shows on the books. I work on my business EVERY day, mostly at night when kiddos are asleep. I carry my tote everywhere and wear a pin. I do get alot of interest, but so far none has gone too far.

as for ED, I also don't know.

Carry your calendar with you, know your next 2 dates that you are open, and when someone says they are "interested", ask them "what month", and then whip out your calendar and show them the dates you have open for that month. That always gets bookings on my calendar - people are visual and like to have a calendar in front of them to set the date. HTH!

Becky,
You are doing better than I am! I just finally qualified!:sing: I have exhausted family and friends and I am now working on friends of friends. I have a couple people who want to have a show but can't pick a date. I do the "let's schedule it and you can change it if necessary" but I always get the "I'll get back to you" How many times can you ask before you sound desperate or stop asking? I am going to start making round two on my leads from the home expo.
I had a recruit that decided not to sell and backed out but still wants to do a show but cannot commit to a date. I know she wants to have a show b/c her DH even called me to let me know that she wants to do one. But, every time I ask her, she has to check her schedule and never gets back to me. I would love to do a show for her b/c she knows a lot of people. Some one told me to schedule her show with her DH. I'm not sure what I want to do with her.

I would schedule it with DH at that pont. If he is calling to tell you, I would ask him what dates they have available. That stinks she backed out of recruiting. I am in a situation right now that someone expressed tons of interest in recruiting and the following day seemed like I was hassling her. You never know with people.
I am only doing as well as I am because of my family and a really lucky 1,000 dollar show from my Hubbys work. I have a feeling my lucks run out. I have already had 4 cancellations and I am in the beginning of my 90 days. One was for this weekend. And I have another host that I just can't reach.

What about pampering a business? I keep hearing about that a lot on here, and I am thinking of doing it myself...I only started in October, but I have been pretty lucky that most of my shows have had at least one booking from outside my friend's circle, so I am very slowly building beyond my friends. But I am going to conference! I really want to make this work!! I hope you ladies decide to stick with it, as well!!

Hey, when I registered today it gave me the option to park at HO and take a bus to the conference. Has anyone who drives done this? It would be cheaper than parking for three night...

Becky,
I think I am going to contact her DH and see what he says. I talk to him almost everyday! I wish my DH had a job where I could get orders like that for me. He is self employed, installing pool tables. What I should do is buy him some PC shirts and make him wear them!
Jean,
I've heard of Pampering a business, but not sure on how to go about it. I have read some of the posts here. Do you just show up at an office and drop off and recipe, books and OOF's?
