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

[raebates]

Was tuckered out by the end of the day on Tuesday, so I only made a few calls. Did get my 3 contacts in, but two of those were people who asked me to call back another time. (We did set a specific time for me to call, so it wasn't a brush-off.)

Better things today. I'm sure of it.

I am over it........... !!!I am over my phone phobia- After suffering from it since I started my business (October, 05) I am officially cured!!!! I committed to make 3 calls a day, when I came home from conference, and then upped it to 5 calls a day since listening to Lyn Conway's "Language of Success" CD's, and it has made such a difference in my business. I make up my call list in the morning, after devotions, and after praying for God to bless my efforts. I have been consistent for 1 week, and I have booked 12 SHOWS!!!!!!. I keep calling scripts at my desk, and decide which one to use before I dial. At first I thought it sounded forced, but I did it anyway, and now it is no deal. I break up my phone times into daytime, and early evening, and I have been so successful, and even those who do not book, usually seem glad to hear from me. I am using these calls to update them on specials, and also just make that personal connection. I really do think that is what will make or break your business, the personal connection. My next goal is to ask for referrals with each call. The cd's of Lyn Conways are amazing, and I downloaded the workbook pages, which have helped alot also.

That's awesome! Hopefully I can "get over it" too! I'm not that nervous anymore, but I am frustrated by the amount of answering machines I get. It's hard to line up my available call time with the time people are actually home. I'm still working on it though!

 

[raebates]

Talked to a few people in person. Made my calls. I'll be calling one back in about an hour to schedule her show!

Oh, yeah, and I closed that show from Sunday. Just transmitted it with $577 in commissionable sales. Woo hoo!

[abrahamlaur]

I'm SOOO stinkin excited!!! I just called a few people and i got 2 shows for August, a church show and a fair for this month too .. and in Sept I got 3 shows and a possible catalog show! I swear when I tell people about the cookware sale they go crazy!! I'm so excited, this is the busiest I"ve been in months!!!!!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHHH

 

[Christ Follower]

Wooo Hooo Laurie!

 

[Christ Follower]

Okay...made my calls today. Finally. I almost didn't make it because of those pesky answering machines!

One call was a potential Sept wedding shower. Her soon to be SIL said no! She doesn't want to have a regular show either.

Another call got me a September booking! It's actually in my book! That makes 4 so far for September! I want 8 so I have some more calls to make!

The rest of the calls were host/customer care calls. No bookings etc.

Where's everyone at today?

 

[JAE]

I'm here. I'm ignoring this thread because I'm not having a very productive week. Hopefully, I'll get back to everyone tomorrow with good news of reaching my 3 contact/day goals. One contact Monday and one contact today. I guess I need to make 10 contacts tomorrow. Oooo, that could be bad. Guess I'd better make my list.

 

[Christ Follower]

I feel for you JAE! The only reason I've been on it so well is because I have a lot of contacts from the recent shows I just did. When those run out, it's beck to cold calls! Yuck!

Good Luck everyone!

 

[sfdavis918]

Well, I was able to make two calls today. Nothing came of them. I also left another message for a potential recruit and told her that I don't want to bug her anymore so if she is still interested to give me a call. (Said it much nicer and warmer than that ) So a pretty unproductive day.

Tomorrow is another day though! I really want to get another booking for August and more for September!

 

[GourmetGirl]

I had an pretty unproductive day, well week for that matter. I need to get off my heiny and call. I think I am going to wait to make calls until Sunday, as with the whole bridge collapsing today, the only thing on people's minds is this, so I will limit my contacts to those in person and make calls on Sunday and make sure to ask if everyone they know is okay and then come to the topic at hand.

So, JAE, does that mean that if we haven't heard from you in a couple of days we need to go looking for you? Don't forget that this is also a great place to receive the (gentle, loving) kick in the tush you need when you're not being productive.



Alison, in your part of the country, I think we'll allow you a day or two to get back to work mode. This is a tragic event.

 

[JAE]

Yes, you probably need to come looking for me and give me a gentle kick in the tush (maybe not too gentle). I actually have been limiting my time on CS because I could sit here and read for hours.
This morning I did make three calls and actually spoke to one of those people. She booked a show on September 20 something (too lazy to get up and look at my calendar). That was a great start to my day.

Yesterday, I pulled up to grab a paper from one of those paper stands, (you know you feed it quarters and you lift it up and get a paper, I didn't feel like going in anywhere with 2 children wanting to get home) well, as I was turning around, I heard a voice I know and realized it was a host that I've done 2 shows with who loves the cookware! Well, you know that I had to book her right there! And I did, I'm so glad that I make an effort to carry my catalogs and planner with me all the time!!! I'm being "intensional!! (sp?)
I need to really stick to my 3-2-1 plan! I'm trying to stay off this site more, cause I get caught up in here and then I don't want to work!
But I do love this site and all of you especially for supportive threads like this!

I am here everyone and I Sunday I can report what happen this week because I am doing a booth at the county fair.. and I am working another booth in another county next week.. BUT I do have one Show booked for September so far..... I booked that yesterday!!!

 

[Christ Follower]

Alright Leah! You got one on the books for Sept!

 

[Christ Follower]

I haven't made all 3 contacts yet, but I made one and got a Catalog show for September!

Does the contact count if it's calling a customer to find out why her card wouln't go through? :0)

 

[JAE]

I made a quite a few calls, but I didn't "contact" anyone other than my booking this morning. I'm going to keep working it tomorrow.

 

[raebates]

Made my contacts. Didn't come to anything, but I got to check that off my to do list.

 

[JAE]

Feels good to check it off the list, doesn't it?

 

[mommyhugz1978]

Okay here is my 3-2-1 today...... I booked another show for August, and I booked four shows today for September!!!!! this is just one fair this week ... and i have a whole other fair next week!!!!!

 

[Christ Follower]

Wow Leah! I think this calls for a "you go girl!"

 

[sfdavis918]

Okay here is my 3-2-1 today...... I booked another show for August, and I booked four shows today for September!!!!! this is just one fair this week ... and i have a whole other fair next week!!!!!

WAHOOO!!!! Great Job Leah!!

 

[mommyhugz1978]

MY CONTACTS!!! Next week Two ladies from my cluster are working on Saturday and one on Sunday..... But I am still excited this was the boost that I needed for my business!!!!

 

[etteluap70PC]

I've been arround. Been very busy this week. Still trying to get my contacts is. Biggest thing is my county fair starts next thursday. I will be there for 4 days 11am-9pm. Last year I booked 4 shows. My goal this year is 8 and 2 strong recruit leads. I really want to do Some CCC calls over the weekend.

 

[Bren706]

Okay! I am back. Just like everyone else, I haven't been posting, because I haven't been doing my 3-2-1 like I should. So now, I am trying to get back in the swing of things. I feel like my list to call is dwindling, and I am joining the "Just Do It" club. I am one of those that looks at my contact list and starts thinking of excuses of why I should not call this person or that person. I have a Kids can Cook show next week, and then a booth at an Elks Lodge open house. I am hoping to get some leads at the open house. I do have 4-5 shows plus 2 catties booked for September, I just wish I could get August filled.

Enough of that! Yesterday, I made couple of calls and spoke to both people that I called. I am following up with one of them at the end of August about doing a catty show (she lives out of state). The other person wants to place an order in a couple of weeks, and may have an order from a couple of her coworkers as well. She had placed an outside order with her sisters cooking show in April. She relocated to VA earlier this year (about 1 1/2 hrs away) and doesn't know many people there yet. I am sending her the YLYW DVD and the Opportunity brochure, as she may consider the business once they are established.

Today, I left one voicemail and spoke with a women I met at McD's last week. She wants to have a show, but she needs to get her schedule. I will follow up with her next week.

Tomorrow is a brand new day, and another opportunity to try 3-2-1!!!

How about everyone else???

 

[Christ Follower]

I did a ccc today and she wants the new mini catty.

The other contacts never got back to me (hubby's answered) and as it is I'm borderline PC stalking so I'm backing off those for a bit. ( hey, I cant help it...one is a potential recruit and the other said she'd book!)
