I took my daughter in last night for some fillings and a crown.
Well, I was sitting there putting info into my FC Planner, and he asked me what I was doing.
I responded, "Trying to organize my life, and business."
He asked me what I did and how it was going.
I told him the truth about me struggling to keep it going.
We had some small talk about business (he just opened his office in May) and what I used to do before PC.
He told me that he wanted a catalog and my business card,
"I would love to have a show with you" ~those were his exact words.
So he gave me his wifes cell # and told me to give her a call :D

How friggin cool is that?
I never expected a booking from my kid's dr/dentist.
I am taking this planner everywhere and making sure I open my mouth more!!!!
 
Ask him if you can leave a catalog or two with the magazines in the waiting room. My DH is a dentist & I always leave some there--Empowering Women too.

Oh--the past two Septembers I have done a mystery host show during lunch for the girls who work there. I bring in 2-3 dishes (they like to eat!) already done, let them eat while I show new products & focus on special. Then I take orders before the hour is up. It's 1-2 hours of my time & I've had $300-400 shows both times. Plus one is getting married & wants to do a registry, one might want to join, & a few others have had catalog shows with me.
