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.
 
Made several contacts--both phone and in-person. Set up a new show for August. Woo hoo!
 
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!
 
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!
 
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!!!
 
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.:D :D :D
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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!!! :D here's hoping!!!
 
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!:D 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!

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....:D

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!!
 
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.
 
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!
 
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!
 
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.
 
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 :D 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!!! :D
 
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!!
 
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???
 
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?!?! :p
