Book a Show Now: Invite Your Apartment Neighbors!

[California Girl]

SO i just went to check my mail and well i live in apartments so people come and go around here all the time, how would you about giving them a catalog and seeing if they want to book a show?
TIA

Just bring over a plate of cookies and introduce yourself as the local Pampered Chef consultant. Chat with them a little and casually say "I have a date available [INSERT DATE WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH] and I would LOVE to having a cooking show with you!"
Give them a catalog whether or not they do and remind them if they find something they love & would like to get free or discounted to let you know. Tell them you'll hold that date for them for the next 3 days and you'll ask them again on [Insert day of the week 3 days from the current day, if it's Monday - say Thursday] to double check.

Do you have a common area-like a laundry room or rec room or something? I'd post a flyer there that says something like "a Pampered Chef lives in your complex" with your contact info and have them contact YOU for a catalog. That way you have a face to face encounter and not just a catalog on the doorstep thing. Can you host a "welcoming myself to the neighborhood" open house or something like that?

The business is all about building relationships. If you concentrate on that first, the shows and sales will follow. It may not happen immediately, but if you build a relationship, when the contacts are ready, they'll think of you.

Exactly. If a new neighbor came to me peddlin' her wares without actually introducing herself or getting to know me first, I'd close the door.Go bring a plate of cookies and introduce yourself and chat WITHOUT mentioning Pampered Chef. Mention PC on your second visit.

This, but I'd say it's OK to wear a shirt with the logo on it. Just don't bring it up yourself. She'll know you're the PC lady, and if she wants to, she'll bring it up.

I'd just go over with a yummy treat (a PC recipe, definitely! Hee!) and a friendly "welcome to the neighborhood!" note. No mention of PC. If they ask about the goodie, I'd take the opportunity to say something like, "oh, yeah, it's a Pampered Chef recipe, I'm actually a consultant -- they're one of my favorites!" or whatever, but that's it. Keep it light.

If you have a party room you can use or rent, hold your own party or do a mystery host party and make sure they are invited. Who knows who may book from that party including the new neighbors.
