Yes, I was happy with that, but the booking is an hour and a half away...again. Have a show there next Saturday. Recruit, recruit, recruit!
 
SuggestionsCan you tell me what all you had in your catalog packet? I have never had specific packets made up, which I would like to start doing, but wondered what all I should realistically be putting in them.

I'm fairly new at this and any help would be great. Also, I would love to know some good opening lines people have used when at doctors, dentists, stores, etc... I have a dentist appointment on Monday and would love to see if they're interested in a catalog party, or at least to order from my website.

Many thanks.

Amanda

In mine I put 3-4 catalogs, outside order forms, the recruiting booklet that PC offers and a catalog host letter. That's it, keep it simple.

I'm going tonight after work to pick up the orders, I'll let you know what happens.

I dropped by after work on Friday and they were excited for chocolate. I made the nutty caramel brownies (I actually made them with pretzels to be on the safe side) and the brownie truffle cups. I gave them half and took half to work. She only had one order - her own. I told her to keep working on it. With the order I have for a guest myself, they were just under $100. I told her I would call back today to see what was going on. Today she told me they had two more orders which should bring it over $150. She also asked for the recipes for the stuff I brought which I pointed out the SBRB and talked about the great benfits of the cookbook. I am going tomorrow to pick up the orders, she was going to work on a couple more people who may like the idea of waiting until Friday (payday) to cash their checks and submit their orders. I'll take about anything right now!
 
I have a surprise catty show right now. I had someone ask for a catalog. She took it with her to work & is at $200 in sales right now (not including her order). Gotta love those!

Way to go! I love free money. I dropped by the eye doctor last night and she had more orders for me. There is one lady who was going to take the catalog home last night to show her BF, I'm supposed to call this afternoon for her order and we'll close the show tomorrow.
