Boost Your Success with 3-2-1 Accountability: A Productivity Diary

[etteluap70PC]

I was bad today...

No calls.... I was cleaning my files and had an ou this am withting the kids.

I did print out lists of everyone who has purchased cookware and knives from me though so I am ready to go for tomorrow.

 

[raebates]

Made several contacts--both phone and in-person. Set up a new show for August. Woo hoo!

 

[Christ Follower]

The only contact I've had today was the lady that I was supposed to meet with next Thursday. She can't meet me till next month now! I have a show tonight and plan on talking to EVERYONE there! Wish me luck!

 

[chefdeb410]

I talked to the lady at Staples and someone asked me about my nice, new Pampered Chef studded shirt at the grocery store. I tried a couple calls, but no luck.

Friday's are hard, I think. Good job for working your businesses. I lucked out. I was "awakened" by an e-mail telling me that an order for a catalog show was placed on my web site for $167 in products. Woo Hoo! Then someone called me because she saw my catalog at a Dr.'s office. She gave me her information, and we agreed that I'd call in one month. Done for the day. Back to sleep.

Made more then 3 calls, have an early Nov. show, and possibly 2 in Sept. Hosted my own Open House last night and got 5 future bookings, but waiting for dates!! WAHOO!

 

[JAE]

Sounds like you had a great show and a productive day. Don't wait for the dates on those 5 future bookings. Call them ASAP.

I called a lady that I met at Kohl's the other day, but didn't result in anything. I also called two potential recruits and they are both going with me to our cluster meeting on Sunday. Yippee!!!

 

[Bren706]

Okay everyone, I am jumping on this train too! It's going to be 3-2-1 Every Day! No Matter What! for me too!!!!!!

Today, I had conversations with two potential recruits (both have been fence sitters), followed up with a host and closed out a catalog show with another host.

I also left 5 voice mail messages. I was trying to do the 24 bookings in 24 hours. I will make more of these calls in the morning. I would be very happy if I get 3 bookings out of it, as I have been doing this only since February, and don't have that many leads to get the whole 24.

I handed out a catalog, and got a door prize slip filled out from a women in the bakery at the Lowe's grocery store. I can give thanks to my brand new purple PC t-shirt I had on today.

Got home from my show a couple hours ago. Does doing a show count as a 3-2-1? She was expecting 10-13, only 5 showed up but I got a booking for Sept. and a catty show for October! A lady there sold PC 10 years ago and I gave her my card and flyers incase she ever wanted to get back into it. She lives out of state though (NM). Hopefully tomorrow (today actually) will go okay.

 

[raebates]

To my mind, doing a show counts. You're talking to people about hosting/recruiting. Right? Is it a good idea to make extra contacts on show days? Of course. Is it likely? Maybe not.

 

[sfdavis918]

I would think that the show itself would not count but if you are asking the guests individually to host a show or talking directly to someone about the opportunity then yes, those would count.

 

[JAE]

Shows count if you are making them count. I can't wait to start having more shows so I can ask everyone there if they would like information about the opportunity or if they would like to have a show.
This morning, I decided that at 10 AM I'd make a host coaching call and contact a couple people with CCC. I stopped my vacuuming and all two of the three were home. Saturday is an extra day for me, so any contacts made are extra. I'm calling a potential recruit at 12:45 PM. Sometimes, when the mood strikes, you just have to keep calling becauses some days the opposite mood will strike, for sure.
Keep going everyone. I love reading this thread!

4 calls so far today

Talked to 1 who want's to do a show but is just one of those oddballs... You guys know the type I mean. I will send her hosting info like she asked but I will not hold my breath...
Emailed (only info I have) a gal who wanted our cookware when I met her last March.
Tried to reconnect with a past host. She was not home but hubby said to giver her a call back.

Made a couple other call with no answer...

My Director called me at this point. It was a good call but messed up my momentum. I wan't to do a few more calls this afternoon.

 

[mommyhugz1978]

Okay so I worked one part of my three day shift at a fair last night, I got one yes that wants to become a consultant, One maybe to becoming a consultant, and three maybe's for parties.!!!!!! I worked a shift tonight at the fair, and one tomorrow afternoon!!! here's hoping!!!

 

[ChefBeckyD]

Just got home from my show today.....I'm calling that my 3 contacts for the day.....I have plans for the evening, and want to take a break from PC for a little while.

From my show - 2 Sept Bookings, 1 Oct Booking (the host re-booked....was going to do Sept, but since she got 2 Sept bookings decided to do Oct.), and the host is seriously trying to convince her DH to become a consultant! He actually does all of the cooking at their house, so she wants him to be the consultant, and for her to be the "helper".

I think that was a pretty good day!

 

[etteluap70PC]

WOW You guys are really workin it!

Leah... What did you say at the fair to get them int. in the opportunity?

I have not a clue what I said... other than they were filling out the DPDS... and I just asked if they hosted a show.. some said yes... and other said well no.... I told them what happens when you host a show. BUT then I said what if I told you there is a way that you can earn everything at least once in the catalog for free and making money from it? I got raises eye brows from that one... and they started asking questions so I told them tell you what I will do why don't' you fill out this slip and when I get home on Sunday I will give you a call and we can set up a time to sit down and talk more about it.... It came out as easy as eating apple pie....

 

[etteluap70PC]

love it!!!

 

[mommyhugz1978]

love it!!!

But I must confess it took me a few try's before that happened... I had to get out of my doing a show mode and into fair mode!!! It's a mindset!!

 

[raebates]

Talked with seven people today about booking/recruiting. No takers. I'm not down, though. My August is starting to fill, and the recruiting thing will happen.

 

[GourmetGirl]

a big Wahoo! to Rae! Way to not take it personally! Thanks for letting us know that not all days are great, but it will happen!

 

[Bren706]

Not a great day today for me neither. I made about 8 calls today, and all I got was answering machines. I did get a small touch of the fear of the phone, so I could have probably fit a few more calls in. I was trying for the 24 Bookings in 24 hours (Would have been happy with 3 bookings). I did leave messages on all. I did speak in person with a June "host" that postponed with me. Even though she lives right across the street from me, I don't have her phone number, and she still hasn't rescheduled. She is giving me the "Busy" speil (sp.). I will try again on Monday!

 

[JAE]

Not sure where I heard this, but if someone says they are too busy, you are supposed to say, "That is the best time to host a show. It's a great way to get your friends together. I do all the entertaining and you have a reason to get together with your friends." Not sure of the actual verbage, but that is close.

 

[mommyhugz1978]

Okay so here is my check in.....I am working a county fair this weekend... so in two days time I have a total of 21 lead/contacts.... I booked one show today YEAH ME!!! I have 14 people who are interested in hosting or becoming a consultant ...Follow up calls coming soon...... Probably Monday since I am working the fair tomorrow until it closes!!! I think oh I don't' remember just want a new fall catalog when it comes out... and to be on my mailing list of any specials!!!

 

[GourmetGirl]

So I was going to make calls today until my SD said Saturday afternoons aren't really the best, save them for Sunday and do more then... but I did go to my friend's housewarming party and we were cleaning up after everyone left and she said she for sure is going to have a party, we'll figure out a date at work this week... yippee!

That is awesome Allison!!! See my problem is I don't' like working on Sundays..... But I am highly considering making calls on Sundays!!

 

[GourmetGirl]

Leah if Sundays don't work for you, pick another day... my SD just told me Fri and Sat aren't the best. For me I am normally really busy Mon-Thu, and Sundays are considered my day for me to relax or do family stuff, so I am all about those Sunday calls tonight! Plus I would love the feeling of going into work on Monday knowing I have 5 shows + my mystery host scheduled for August already with a week and a half still to go!

I normally have Sunday reserved for Family stuff... But the more I hear success stories of people making calls... I might give it a try...... Did you read my success update for today???

 

[GourmetGirl]

Yeah... Leah you are kicking butt with this fair! You are going to have a busy week following up with all these great leads... and btw, if you still have another day of the fair left, why are you one here at 2:19am?!?!
