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

[mommyhugz1978]

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?!?!

Because it is 1223am...... and I don't' start my shift until 2:30pm tomorrow afternoon...... and I have on more fair yet to do this summer and it's my fair meaning I offered shifts to the rest of my cluster one person took on... one is thinking and so is the other one.... But mainly it's mine for a week... NICE HUH??? I wasn't expecting anyone else in my cluster to drive an hour and half to a fair... why would they want to do that when some of them can't drive 10 mins down the road to go to a meeting... I drive two hours was is their problem... hehehehe!!!!

ahhh... nice... you still have 14 hours until you have to be there! enjoy! I have set my goal to get up before noon tomorrow, finish unpacking from conference, clean up my office, unpack from my show on thursday, hang up 12 mirrors in my office (they are square mirrors from Ikea, so I am taking the $2 mirrors and making 1 big mirror for only $24!), make 20 calls, write thank you cards for my last show (HO mailed her show before I could mail her reciepts! so now I am just going to mail them to each customer individually!), enter my show from Thu on PP, do 2 loads of laundry, and then relax with HP!

... a lot planned I know, but after doing nothing today but talking on the phone and going to a friend's tonight, I figure it's gotta be done and if I just blast a training CD while I am doing it, I can learn some stuff at the same time!

I have good CD"S and a entertaining daughter and husband to go along with those CD"S

Well Sounds like you all are kicking but!!!

I can not wait for my county fair in 2 weeks! Last year I booked 4 shows. This year I want 8 and 2 recruit leads. I need to get better at drawing people in and leading them into conversations that will lead into the opp. and booking. There are usually a bunch os DS people there and I know that people walking thru are getting bombarded by them all. I need to get in the "it's all about them" mindset.

On another note.... I was just at the grocery store with the kids. I even dressed nice (PC shirt of course), Kids looked good too. I was wanting to aproach someone maybee even them a catalog. But I didn't get the lead in. The gal I wanted to chat with at the courtesy desk was not there today (past host of mine). I did chit chat with my cashier and the girl bagging for me. I am trying to at least build relationships. DS was a wildman in the store so it put a damper on my patience.

I will do some calls this afternoon!

I am not doing as good as I hoped but I am doing 100% better than before Conference!

 

[JAE]

Sounds good Paulette. Practice your conversations in your head and out loud if no one's around, of course.
This probably isn't so good, but during church service I wrote a couple of names down that came to mind. Oops! I was listening to the sermon, but my mind wanders sometimes. On the way home I wrote some more names on my notes. There are a few people I can call tonight, but I don't call much on Sunday's. If I talk to anyone, I will count it as "extra".

 

[GourmetGirl]

So today I made 2 contacts and a ton of messages left. I got 1 dated August show and another Yes to an August show, who will date this week. I now have 3 dated shows, my mystery host, 4 other yeses who I am playing phone tag with (tonight am sending a personal email to find a good time to talk). That means I have only 1 open spot on my August calendar and will hopefully reach my goal of a full August by the end of this week!

Then I move on to my September where I have 1 dated show, 1 yes, but I didn't have my availability to schedule and other leads to follow up on who I have been getting voicemails (need to try a different time of day).

I am so excited! All this since I've been home from conference and I had no voice for 3 days this past week! Can I get a big WAAAA-HOOOO!

 

[momoftwins]

OK Alison - I so want to know what you are saying to these people to get them to book! Especially for August! I have all the excitement to get September shows with the new catalog and cookware but not so much excitement for August. Any advice or scripts you could share??????

I did a car show today about an hour away from where I live. It went okay. I got a few sales but no leads. I should have said please answer the questions on the DPS to be eligible for the drawing. I am still planning on calling everyone that filled out a DPS and thank them for stopping by the booth and to see if I can be of service to them or if they would be interested in booking a show.

 

[heatherkiss]

I like doing the face to face 3-2-1. Telemarketing is tough unless I already know the person. I want new fresh faces!

3-2-1 all the way!

Sharisse~ I am calling maybe's and later's that I have from previous shows. I ended up with 19 people on my list and have just gone from there. It helps that I am saying that I just got into grad school and am trying to pump up PC so that I can quit my day job to focus on grad school. I have also bartered with some people (my aunt is doing a show for me mid-aug, in return I am babysitting my cousin free of charge for 2 days when she has no daycare... what can I say... I want a full schedule this fall, so I'll take what I can get to get me there!). I have also just been really excited so that has helped. I also have asked people that I have been in contact with on a normal basis (friends/coworkers) that I haven't asked yet and conference and my cluster meeting this past week made me realize I need to ask them... the worst they are going to say is no. Also, to people that are saying no I am asking if I can invite them to my mystery host where they can win the host benefits without doing any work! It has helped my calls end on a positive note! What can I say, I think I have finally realized and am proud to say that I do PC and that it has been wonderful for me in my life!

Okay so here is my sceret to the DPDS... READY everyone???!!!! I hand them a spring and summer catalog.. I let them knwo that we are coming out with 60 brand new products... and you will never beleive what else ... then I go into the stainless steel cookware spiel ..... I let them knwo that by filling the slip out with their name and address I am able to send them a fall catalog when it comes out and that their is a few questions on their but it is not obligating them to hosting a show it is for information only!!! Sounds easy right??? I got 30 contacts in 3 days!!! One show booked and 14 people interested in either hosting a show or becoming a consultant or BOTH!!!!! ..... and if they don't want to do that offer them a recipe card!! Everyone likes food!!!

You guys are doing so good! WOW! I didn't do anything this weekend! I had a really busy weekend with family and church stuff so PC went to the back burner! I'm excited to make some calls tomorrow though! I only have 2 shows for August so far! Tuesday I have a show with 18 confirmed yes's (so far!) She even got a catty booking for September for me. (she really wants the cookware!) Hopefully I can get another booking or two for August!

Do you have any fairs lined up yet???? IF not you should really do that!!! That is what just gave me some edge that I needed!!!! I have one more fair left to go!!

 

[GourmetGirl]

Leah awesome job on the fair! I'm glad it went so well for you! Sounds like it was perfect timing to do a fair right after conference! Looking forward to hearing those results of the contacts!

 

[Christ Follower]

I did a home show in April and got 1 booking that actually went through. That one booking has since gotten me 3 more bookings (so far). That was worth it with just that one show. I did a Strawberry festival in May and all the bookings from that have fallen through so far. I collected some orders from it but nothing spectacular. It's almost a gamble for me doing the fairs. I don't know if I like them or not. Great job on yours though!!!

The way that I look at it.. is it is all worth a bit of a gamble... just to get your name out their....I felt that it was worth it!!!

 

[JAE]

How's everyone doing. I called someone, today on the way to the grocery store. She is very interested in a September show. She used to be a director 8 years ago. I saw one of my contacts at the grocery store and was able to talk with her, finally, and give her a mini catalog. I called a few more and nonone was home. I'll call later tonight, after 7:00 PM. I have a meeting with my potential recruit on Wednesday afternoon. Whoo, hoo!

 

[Christ Follower]

No calls yet. My party tomorrow has 18 confirmed yes's so far!

 

[mommyhugz1978]

I am supposed to have a show thsi weekend... and I dont' even have her guest list yet.... UHG!!!

Does that mean you haven't sent out the invites? Uh oh. I just booked an August brunch show. I'm bummed right now, though, because I really wanted some shows in my own area. My two August shows are over an hour away.
I know...keep calling. (that was in my whiny voice)

Yeah that would mean no one has an invite... and I know she has alot of things on her plate... she is one of my deartest friends..... I am going to call her tonight and see what she has in mind.... I was really counting on thsi show!!

 

[Christ Follower]

Maybe you can help her make calls and invite everyone over the phone?

 

[mommyhugz1978]

That is one of the things that I am going to suggest to her.....

 

[raebates]

Made my calls. Got another August show! Talked to a few people interested in later in the year. Left lots of messages, too.

 

[JAE]

Ellen, I can't wait to hear how your show turns out!

I made one more contact tonight and left one message. I have so many people interested in a September show, but nothing is confirmed. I will have to start calling them back in a couple weeks to get some confirmations. More calls tomorrow. I have a long list, but most of these people are totally "out of the blue". Those are a little harder for me. I'll do it anyway.

 

[Bren706]

Today was not a 3-2-1 day for me, AGAIN! I did contact a catalog host to find out the status of the orders, and also contacted one of those guests about payment arrangement(and interest in booking a show, which was a NO!) I tried reaching (and only got an answering machine) what should be my 2nd show for July host (29th). I have yet to reach her to talk about her show which is in 6 days. It seems like she is going to back out on me for a second time! UUGGHH!!!!!!

Tomorrow is a new day, and I am really shooting for those 3 contacts!

 

[GourmetGirl]

Today I got a a date for another August show and a maybe, check in a week for a Sept show. My co-worker, who I wanted to set her Aug date, was sick today. and my cousin who does not use email or voicemail or caller id and I have been trying at random times of the day for like a week now and still can't get a hold of her! Augh! Plus I treated myself and went and had another consultant who is an awesome hair stylist cut and style my hair for me tonight! I feel so pampered right now!
