Are you ready to conquer your fear of making calls in network marketing?

Hi All,

I have been lurking and asking questions for almost a week now, but today is the official sign-up day - so I wanted to come here and introduce myself. My name is Ashley and I live in central Maine. My hubby and I will be doing this together. Our first kick-off show/open house is May 16th and we are inviting a bunch of people - so hopefully that goes well.

I wanted to thank everyone who has answered questions so far and I apologize if I asked questions here that I should have asked my recruiter instead... I am still learning that distinction.

Looking do to get to know you all!
Ashley

Hello, Ashely. Welcome and best wishes!Feel free to ask. Sometimes we send people back to their recruiters or directors because that's those people are best able to handle some issues.

Hi Ashley! Glad to see you came out of hiding! Ask your questions! We all learn from them. Good luck with your party on the 16th - do you have a lot of people coming? What do you have planned? I'm doing a HWC party on the 15th ... can't wait - I have lots of "pink" stuff that I bought at a party store, a HWC pink apron & a perfect pink dessert recipe!

Ashley, welcome to PC and CS!! Don't ever feel bad about asking questions here--you'll certainly get a lot of advice and support from all of us. Of course ask your recruiter when you like, as well. I realize people are on different schedules, etc., and perhaps your recruiter is fairly new to PC as well. At any rate, best of luck to you in your PC career--it sounds like you are off to a good start. And, ask away.....

Hello Ashley! My brother loves Maine because they hold the Moxie Soda Festival every July! He is a dedicated collector of their memorabelia (sp?). He has more stuff than a normal person should!

Thanks all,

We are in Lewiston and hubby LOVES Moxie. I personally thing it is gross :yuck:

We do have a lot of people that we have invited (40) and most have said yes - but I am still working my way down the list. So... it might be huge. We are planning on a cooking show at 1PM and then a more laid back open house and demos until about 6. This seems to be working since not everyone can come at 1PM.

We plan on doing an interactive cooking show and let other people try the produts out - we watched the "Cooking show in action" DVD and hubby loves that idea.

We also plan on having a booking drawing. Everyone that books with us during our first show will get a ticket in a drawing. The one that wins will get a bar stone when their show closes - we are trying to fill up our first 90 days with lots of shows.

Right now, our Grand Opening is on the 16th and we already have a second show booked for the following week ;-)

Any advice on Grand Openings with lots of people would be appreciated. My recruiter is not new, but she is very part-time, so... we are learning together in some of these things.

I am a graphic designer by trade, so I look forward to making up some of the fliers we put in our catalog folders!! So much to do in 8 days ;-)

Ok - enough talking... now to make more calls! (for me, this is the nerve wracking part - so I am trying to get over it by making them all).

Ashley

Good for you, Ashley. Making calls is probably the biggest obstacle most of us struggle with. The only way to handle it is just to make them.
