Seems you and I have this in common however my recruit refuses to do anything... she thought she was "helping" me out......by signing up unfortunately she thought just signing up would help ... she didn't' realize that she actually had to do something LOL can we say kitnapper!!!! hmmmm:rolleyes: see this is what the people I work with do to me??!!! Yes I work with this person... makes it that much harder for me too :mad:

I just hate it when people think that signing helps us out. I want to grab their shoulders and shake them! "Hello! You're helping YOURSELF when you sign with PC! Sure, I'll benefit too, but do it for yourself, not me."
 
never too late to starthello all,
Count me in on the accountablility. This is a big deal for me and way out of my comfort zone. But just like the rubber band that streaches it never goes back to the same size it was before, I will be reaching my goals for this next year. This site will help, as will my director. Oh well back to work.:rolleyes:

The one thing that I learned is it's not about me... its about them... however if you have no plans to do anything with this business.. than please just buy the products and dont sign an agreement to become a consultant drives me nuts!!!

Hey Dave! Haven't seen you arround in a while! Hope all is well!
 
I am doing great. Really fired up after convention. I am gonna make it work. even if I am working OT at work. I have contaced 2 people so far today. I have one interesed in the new products that are coming out for fall. I guess I am one of the lurkers as i don't post that often.
 
Today was gooood. I love my job. While I was sitting out by a friends pool watching her 10 year old and mine enjoy the water, I was making my phone calls. I was even able to share that with one contact. I made all three contacts before 2:00 PM, which is wonderful because I really don't like to call in the evenings. Anyway, I didn't get official bookings, but added someone to my e-mail list and someone wants me to call her in October for sure. THEN, a business that I frequent and my friends own is going out of business on August 3 and all employees are finished after tomorrow. So, with my friends permission I gave the opportunity flyer to one of the employees, whom I know pretty well as an aquaintance from way back. She was sooo excited about it and I didn't even tell her anything. I just offered to take her out for coffee/smoothie. She cuts hair twice a week and after tomorrow won't be working her second part time job. She is ripe for the picking! I'm so excited. I said I was going to be a director by Christmas, and I mean it!

Whoo Hooo Jill!!! I MEAN IT TOO!!!
Yesterday at the Chiropractor - one of the women that works there told me that one of the other women is seriously thinking about selling PC , but didn't have any info, and really wanted to know more about it (I don't know her, and she doesn't know me)so Shelly told her that she would ask me for more info.....I'm going to meet with her next Wednesday! :D
 
Great job. We are going to walk the stage as directors together! I'm calling Jenna on Saturday to set up a meeting time. She said her next week is wide open now that she doesn't have a second job. I would love to bring her to the August meeting. What do you think?

I think YES!!! Hey - Jen wants your email to add you to our Cluster Email Loop - I told her okay, and I thought for sure it would be okay with you - but just checking to make sure!
I told her how great you were doing on 3-2-1 (we had our 3-2-1 check-in call today) and she's proud of you too!:D
 
Talked with several people today. Workin' that 3-2-1.
 
Yay, all of us!
(And yes BeckyD, please have Jen add me. I feel so loved!)
 
Paulette, Leah, Ellen, others, how was your day? Even if you think it wasn't great, we want to support you.
 
I e-mailed someone today in my "neighborhood". She is around the lake and I only know here because she is head of the lake association (we are off-water). I asked if she heard of PC, had a consultant, would let me send her a catalog and would like to book a show.

She said no to the show, yes to the catalog, she'd like to order in the fall when new products come out and asked me about fundraisers because she's heard of them before. I said I'd get her information together!!!!

That's good for me...I can't call from work usually so evening is my only time so I tend to only get about 1 contact per day.

I did talk to 5 people at work today about PC.

One is currently doing a catalog show...with a consultant in TN...grrr.... (It is her cousin so that explains it...)

I want to be a FD by January so I have to keep cracking to get the shows to get in front of the people.

I have one recruit lead I talked to Sunday and fed her more information - time still isn't right for her...

...sorry to jump in your thread but I need a kick in the butt sometimes too...

Now to go back and read this thing!
 
Everyone is welcome in this thread, especially those who want "a kick in the butt".

Well..... I wiill be making extra calls tomorrow. It was DD's 6th b-day today so we were having fun with that and I fell asleep on the couch when I should have been making calls.

It was worth it though. Sammie had so much fun. She had 1 friend over for lunch PB&J "circle/ cut-n-seal) sandwiches and watermelon. I made strawberry cupcakes with coolwhip.

After dinner our closest family friends came over for cake. It was a very nice day.

I also love my job! Anyother and today would have been a total hassle!
 
So true, Paulette. That's what I was thinking about when I was making calls by the pool!
 
Sign me up for this!! I made some calls today on my way to dinner! I have a phone appointment tomorrow to talk to a poss recruit that I just blew before. So I am hoping to say, "Look, I was wrong about what I was saying before..." She wanted to work more door to door than do shows. It didn't hit me until someone said, "So, if her friend really wants a show, she won;'t do it?" DUH!!! I am going to work really hard to 1) have 2 shows a week and 2) PROMOTE!!!
 
Wow, I am so excited for everyone tonight! I just got home from a bible study and wasn't too thrilled with my progress today. I got a lot of answering machines! I did get a hold of some girls that are collecting orders for my "Mystery Host catalog show" so that was good. Anywho....I thought that would be it for the day but after bible study was over, I had two more contacts! Someone there had made a Trifle (non-PC bowl). I was commenting on how good it was and turns out, the girl who made it sold PC years ago and might have a show for me! Then another lady there gave me an order for a PC Trifle Bowl! So a potential booking and a $39 order! God is good!

Well I wasn't able to do 3-2-1 today... becasue I am trying to get all of my hoemwork done before I leave to do a fair this weekend.... for PC!!! :D becasue I won't have the time to do it while I am gone.... however you can bet that when I get back I will be all over the phone.... well maybe is it going to bite me?? :D :o:eek:
 
So I had a previous host talk to me today and tell me that her and her friend Lisa both need a 2nd set of prep bowls for the camper and mention that her PHD is up... I said well maybe you'll need to have another show (I know 2 people who would book off of her!) she said what about Lisa? I said, ohhh... good idea, she hasn't done one yet! I am pumped for the work week to be over... I can't wait to make my calls this weekend! I normally make calls Sunday afternoon and/or evening. Do you think it would be weird to make calls Saturday afternoon or Friday evening? I do have a few lunch calls to make while at work tomorrow, so that will get some, but I just wanted some opinions on the other parts of the weekends...
 
Hey~ I say make 'em while you can! Get those bookings! Even if they didn't want to host two separate shows, they can co-host and both get the PHD.= for the next year.

Good point Ellen! I have never done a co-hosted show, but they would make a great pair! I will definitely suggest that! Thanks!
 
Most of my co-host shows do pretty well because they have different contacts (usually) so there is a large variety of people! Attendence is usually higher. It's also good for people to co-host that don't know a lot of people. That way when combined it's like a normal show instead of having 2-3 people show up if it had been done individually.
 
I'll have to bring this up... a few friend of my previous host I can't get a hold of, but I know would come to the show and will book if I can get a hold of them and I know they have some of the same friends, but some different as well. It might be a really fun thing to try. Plus, they have been more involved up north at their camper (there's a big group of people that all bought lots on the same "block") and while last year's show flopped, maybe this year it could be better... hmm... the wheel's are a turnin!
 
Got one contact in already this morning.....and it may result in 1-3 bookings for Sept!!!
I was doing a customer care call for a host from June.....it was her first time as a host, but both of her daughters have hosted numerous times.....and all 3 of them have started cookware collections! I told her how excited I was about the Sept. Host Special......and she was so excited, she said she was going to have to call both of "the girls" today and tell them too, so they can all check their schedules and figure out how to book their shows! :D :D

Hey - if she does that, and I get 3 bookings - would that be my 3 contacts for the day???
