Hi there!

made 6 calls
left 3 msgs
reconnected with 2 customers who still want to host but it's not the right time.
Booked an early November show!

I'm in, Paulette! I have a form already made out and will be tracking starting tomorrow! We going to have a daily thread or just keep this one going forever?

 

[sfdavis918]

I'm in too! I talk a big game but the accountability is the key.

Can you post your form?

 

[etteluap70PC]

let's just keep this going forever!!!!!

Glad to have you aboard Sandy and Sherise! WOOHOO!!!!!

I wish we cheffers could have spent more time together at conference. I am definetly comming in earlier next year. I'm going to get the earliest flight I can the day before. I want to have time to go see some sights for once!

 

[MomToEli]

Here is my sheet. I can't remember where I got it from! Most likely on here, but maybe not.

I just love plagerism

And guys, I really do need to do this. My dh is working like a mad man to keep us going around here. I simply can't expect him to do any more, and he really needs to slow down a little bit. So keep my feet to the fire, okay?

Sandy ~ I love that sheet! I've seen another one, but this one is so much simpler! I don't need complicated.
Thanks for posting the sheet - and thanks Paulette for starting this thread!

 

[PamperedChefDude]

My wife & I are trying too! We're doing better but we're not at the real 3-2-1 yet! We're in to be accountable.

 

[JAE]

I'm in! I'm going to frame "it", and put it on the wall by the phone. I don't need it for its conventional use. I won't take it down until I'm a director!

 

[JAE]

Do you all plan to make calls on Saturday and Sunday? I'm a bit iffy on that. I also don't like calling on Friday's, but I'm going to do it anyway.

 

[etteluap70PC]

I say do what works for you. My calls went well today from about 11am till 12. Never got back at it.
For my Sundays I want to do calls from 2-3pm. I feel it is a pretty neutral time. I do have some customers I know spend Sundays on church activitiesand family so I will call them on other days. If I remember right when this first came out it was only expected that you do this 5 days a week.

 

[MomToEli]

It's not that cute, JAE. You'd better make Director soon

 

[MomToEli]

I'm going to do 7 days a week. Remember, it's not 3 calls a day, it's 3 contacts. They can also be face to face. And a contact is actually asking someone to host a cooking or catalog show, or asking them to sit down and talk about your business (you can count them when you talk, so long as you don't count them for both ... NO double dipping!)

I'm rounding up more catalogs, because one person talked about a contact could also be giving someone a catalog.

That's how I'm playing, anyway. I really want to make this work, so I'm really intent on sticking to the letter AND spirit of the law, so to speak!

My goal is to be a director by Oct 1 so I can attend my Executive Director's Director's Retreat. I have one qualified recruit right now. Of course, that means more than 1 recruit a month ...

Anyone else want to put a goal out there?

 

[JAE]

Three recruits signed up for September and two more by Christmas. How's that sound? Yes, three face to face contacts or actual conversations with someone on the phone every day, at least five days a week. if I get in more than three Monday through Thursday I'll count them towards Friday. If I don't get the contacts contacted then I'll be calling on Saturday and Sunday.

Anyone have a hard time reaching people?I came back from convention all pumped up with 3-2-1 but the first two days I tried this I made 20 calls and got answering machines on all of them. On the bright side - one called back and booked an end of July show! But I sometimes run out of names to call. I set up my list the night before and figure I'll have enough but then I just keep getting machines. I'm a little frustrated. I just signed up in November and I know the key is consistent shows to get consistent bookings. I have to up my shows but have to keep trying. I'm also wondering, if you get a machine and leave a message, how long do you wait to call back? A week? Two weeks? Try an email in between?

Count me in!

When I leave messages I say "Feel free to give me a call. I'll call you back in a few days if I don't hear from you." That way it doesn't need to be tomorrow, and it gives them the option to call me. But they know I am going to keep trying if I don't hear from them.

walpaperHi all...

I made this up and it is now my background/walpaper on my laptop. I need to keep it in front of me as much as possible. I also did a scrolling screen saver.

Anyone else want to put a goal out there?

DH and I need to sit down and discuss EXACTLY what we want from PC... but my initial goals are to...
1. Sign one more recruit to be able to attend Leadership
2. Get "the call" May 5th... an early Mother's Day present to myself
3. Give my two week notice for my PT job (which I actually do love and will really miss) on May 9th so my last day will be May 23rd... just in time for my 11th anniversary with DH on May 24th!

KICK MY BUTT, YOU GUYS!!!!!

[legacypc46]

Well, I talked to three people today and asked them if they wanted to have a show. No one said "yes", but only one said a definite "no". One friend said she would think about it and get bakc to me. Right now she is in a group of people doing the Dave Ramsey, save money, stay on budget thing so she would need to think of people other than those people to invite to a show. The other person said she saved my info so she could call me when she decides to have a show. I asked her for her e-mail so I could keep her posted on the host specials. That's a good thing. I kept calling because I really want a "yes". I got an answering machine and then decided to clean up my kitchen.

I've gotten all busy signals and answering machines today! I'll try tonight before my cluster meeting too though. It's hard to do calls because no one is home during the day and by night time, I'm making dinner and taking care of my family.
