lazy day,no calls. But I did get a $100 random online order today:D :D Tomorrow I will be calling like crazy to make up for today and being away at leadership. Who knows, my guilty conscience may get to me after I get the kiddos to bed and I'll attempt a few calls too!
 
I try to take the day off from the phone on Sundays, except for host coaching. I did leave a voicemail for tomorrow's show host, and spoke to my host for Thursday's show. (She is expecting 12 guests so far!!! yeah!!)
 
Didn't call anyone today - but received an email from a past guest and booked her for February 15th - I now have 4 of my Fridays booked in February - with about another 2 people to still book for Feb. So not bad for virtually little effort!
 
I don't make calls on Sundays either - but had a host call me to ask some questions, and also had a past host call with a friend at her house who wanted to book a show! My February is filling up!:D
 
No calls again today (head hung down low).

I will have at least 11 contacts tomorrow though when I go to bunco! LOL!

Well I did no calls yesterday. I decided to take the kids out to play and do some errands. Then had dinner and all that stuff......

Today I will be doing some calling to those I know are home durring the day. I have an extra team training tonight and can not wait!
 
I had my first show of the year tonight. Only 4 guests in attendance. THe host had one outside order. With a couple orders from my friends that I will add to this show, it is at $267 right now. She will have at least 2 more orders coming in. NO BOOKINGS!!!!! and I am hoping that we can close out on Wednesday, so that I can get the tablecloth.

Back on the phone tomorrow. My next show is on Thursday.
 
I took the evening off. I had to get the house cleaned up. I'll be on the phone a lot the next two evenings, following up my stoneware flyer I mailed out. I'm up to $70. I have a client who is trying to get friends to add to my show and I'll name her as the host. Great incentive for her, and I get my tablecloth. I've got a lot of calls to make.
 
I didn't make any calls tonight. I actually was able to talk to a Director who gave me some ideas about revving up my business. Actually they were word choices that I think will really work for me.

So I didn't make any calls but I did take 3 orders from people who contacted me. I am only 9.75 away from getting the table cloth!
 
I made 11 contacts at bunco. No bookings but 2 (possibly 3) orders. One for a piece of stoneware and 1 for a heart dish.
 
um,the only contacts I had yesterday where host coaching. I also did a few team calls.
 
I made my 3 contacts today, but nothing significant to report. 1 contact was at the school where I took my DS for a pre-K evaluation. Thanks to my PC shirt! She asked if I sold PC, so I gave her a catalog. She was not interested in hosting, but was happy to find out she could order via phone or web, and did not have to attend a show. Another would like to have a show, but is having a hard time finding interested guests. Her friends/family think PC is expensive. She may try to collect a few orders from anybody that is interested. The third contact asked me to call back. She wants to check her calendar. It is a "possible" February show.

Left messages on at least 6-8 machines, including 1-2 MIA hosts.
 
So far I only had one contact today. I got an order for a $10 Large Micro cooker. Not much but it all add's up. I'm hoping to make some calls after dinner.
 
So So So So Bad......2 host coaching calls today, and that is it.....I'm pms'ing, and I'm pretty sure I'm beginning to experience peri-menopause, and I just DID NOT want to be nice to people and chat today.....

DS and I got 3 big boxes of toys cleaned out of his room, and now his room is all organized. Then, we played.
 
booked 2 February shows tonight!! :D :D One is even a weekday morning brunch show - I am sooo excited about that since I have the hardest time getting people to book during the week, much less a weekDAY.
Also did some host coaching calls.

Oh, and I received 2 guest lists today - both had 40+ names - FINALLY!!

I've been using that one too!!;) :rolleyes: ;)
 
I talked with one host for a show next week - sent out her recipe ingredient list - talked to another girl I know and she booked a show for March 7th! My first show of March and since Easter and Spring Break are during March this year - I really want to book up early in the month.

Okay, so I did make more contacts tonight afterall. One girl is considering a Feb show but needs to get back to me after she checks her calander.

I also did a couple of CCC's. Other than that I left messages on machines that I need to follow up on later. Better than nothing I guess!

That is a very great point Gina! I will have to get cracking on my March! I have a few people that have told me "When the new catalog comes out."
 
Glad I could help Ellen:) - March for me is my daughter's 7th b-day on the
20th, spring break starts on the 21st, Easter on 23rd and my 15th wedding anniversary on the 27th! And I'm throwing in a reunion weekend to alma mater - Univ. of Illinois the 15th and 16th - so I really need to stack up the front of the month!
 
so far my contacts have been host coaching. Have 1 host considering the biz:D :D Others working on guest lists. Trying to line up some more shows, but nothing good to report as of yet, but the night is still young!
 
Hey, I'm back. Did you miss me? :)I took a few weeks off for the holidays, but I'm back to making my calls. Had 8 contacts today. Two of those are interested in catalogs because they may want to take advantage of the stoneware special. Yippee! Of course, I'll be calling them again in a couple of weeks, because it's my job to call them. ;)I also made a few host coaching calls, but I don't count them in my 3-2-1.
 
Rae! We did miss you - if you went back in the posts at all, you could see is wondering where you were!

Glad you are back!
 
Glad you are back Rae!

Besides host coaching, and sending out invites for 3 shows, I did make my 3 contacts today!

One contact was from an online outside order for a show that I was hoping to close today. The person had interest in hosting, so of course I called. ( I really want to get in the habit of calling all outside orders before closing, but haven't gotten there yet). She booked January 27th! (and if memory serves me correctly, she mentioned she had friends that would book in February from her show).

The second contact was a customer care call, to a former consultant that attended an October show.

The third one, was also a customer care call. I got her e-mail address to send her my newsletters.
 
Didn't quite make itI sent out more than 30 stoneware flyers. I got 2 call backs before I contacted them. $70. I personally called all 30 got 8 without a message machine. I booked one more March show. I didn't earn the tablecloth, but...

I got a call with a former client that has collected $300 so far in sales out of the blue, and wants to submit a catalog show next week.

Another client called (I had sent her an invite to my cluster), she wants to meet with me to talk about the business opportunity. She's coming with me Monday to the cluster meeting.

What a great start to January and points.
 
Made four contacts yesterday. Two of those requested catalogs. I'll be following up, of course.

I'm still here plugging away. Been a busy week and I have a sick child so have not done as much buis stuff as I would like.

Did rebook for host whose Grandpa died and ran into an aquaintance last night and we penciled in her date.

Both should be for February.

I'm going to work on gettin in 6 live contacts today.

Have a great day all!
 
Woo hoo! I just got a call from an MIA host from December. She wants to close her show tomorrow. I can't tell you how many messages I've left this woman. She actually started this in November, decided to switch to December, then disappeared on me. I have no idea how big the show will be. I'll just be glad to get it closed.

Isn't that crazy! I had a host who started in Oct, and FINALLY closed her show the middle of Dec. It wasn't big - but it was a great feeling to just get it closed!
