back from my show, 3 bookings with 2 more possible. One recruit lead, unfortunately I didn't get a chance to talk with her before she left, so hopefully I'll be able to connect with her later. I know that she has to work in the morning (hence why she left early), so keep your fingers crossed that I'll even get to talk with her! Sales were low, as was my last show too. It seems that my host/guests lately are more interested in having the fun, than the rewards.......oh, well, guess it keeps the bookings coming!
But I do hope that tomorrow's show is higher!
Hope everyone had a good night, and is out doing big shows!
 
My Wednesday showed turned into a catalog show, but $400+ today! Show last night $400I contacted a client I got by email that wants to book an Oct. show. Random call. Show tomorrow.
 
I jsut got back from a show...... its still open lots of outside orders coming in though.... I booked one show it's in NOV............
 
Not a lot happened here today and I'll be gone most of tomorrow. Glad to see everyone else is doing so well. I did make some calls, but got all answering machines. I did make several contacts at my show last night so I'm counting those as overflow for today.......:0)
 
show today, with 2 bookings. One of the bookings the host does not even know, its a friend of a friend of a friend kind of thing. She just wants a catty show, which is fine with me as my dates are filling up and I don't want to turn anyone away! Sales were ok, and she is working to get more outside orders. The majority of her sales were outside orders, so she has really worked this good. I wish all my hosts were this motivated!

My neighbors are having a social gathering tonight, so I may have to change into a PC T-shirt before heading over. Of course my dish will be PC!

Hope you all are out working shows, and getting your calendars filled!
 
What a bummer when people say "no"! I happened to walk by a beauty salon and asked one of the ladies if I could leave some catalogs there. She flat out said "NO!" Why do people have to be so rude, it would have even been okay if she said "no, thank you." I must admit I was startled by it and felt bad about it, so much so that I didn't pull out another catalog to offer it to anyone else! Then I was mad at myself for feeling that way, I should have just shrugged it off and thought "their loss." Oh well.... No shows this weekend so I thought I would still go out and hand out a few catalogs.

It wasn't all bad though before that happened I asked a lady if she already had a PC consultant and she said "I don't know what that is..." I explained a little then I told her that if she hosted a show I would be comitted to getting her lots of free stuff. She smiled and took the catalog.
 
Just discovered I felt better after writing about the beauty salon incident here. DH asked me what happened and I just told him they said no... I didn't say anything more.... This board is therapy!! :)
 
I didn't get a chance to do my 3-2-1 today but I just collected an order for $200 from my MIL for my Open House next Friday!

Now I'm quoting myself. I just collected another $43 order for my Open house! So that makes $287 so far and 2 contacts for the day! Too bad I didn't get that 3rd contact but I'll try to do at least 4 next time.:thumbup:


I was just hoping for a qualified show for my Open House and it's almost to $300! GOD IS GOOD!!!:D
 
Had a show of only $300 today, but booked a November show, rebooked the host for March, and a possible recruit. I also closed a catalog show today of $420. That's the most I've ever had on a caddy. Monday will be very busy. I'm closing 2 catalog shows and today's cooking show. I have two shows next week, that I have to make call #3 to the hosts on Sunday.

Wow! Every time you come to this thread you have something great to report! Way to work that 3-2-1! Good luck on your shows next week! I also have 2 if you count my open house.
 
spoke with a host today, and a past host to do a return. That's it. I took the day off!
 
Took Friday night off, but spoke with two people on Saturday, resulting in 1 possible order and two people today resulting in 1 order.I had a show scheduled for today, but she's going to change hers to a catalog party.
 
Had a show today - left with one booking for November and 2 maybes - I will follow up with them before I close out her show. Sales aren't super high but I'm glad it actually happened because the host only started inviting people less than a week ago (even though she did have about 3 weeks to do it) - it was a fun show and close to home as well. Still have to close out my show from Friday and a catalog show to finish up the month - my sales are over $3000 for the month - hello commission!!

Congratulations! That is going to be a nice commission check.
 
I don't get a lot done on Sundays but I managed to connect with some people today.

Confirmed with an up-coming host that we ARE going to do her show on the 6th.

Invited two more peeps to my Open house on Friday. (in person)

You never know, all of the excitement of getting that first recruit may start a snow ball effect... At your next show try inviting friends to join together. That actually worked at one show I did. I told them my Director and her best friend (both Directors) are in this business together and they have a lot of fun supporting eachother and going on trips together with their families. Three people signed up. All of them qualified but only one is still active.
 
Got in one more contact today.

A girl who cancelled her show (the day of her show) just got back to me. Her show was supposed to be in July. She just moved to a city about 30 minutes away and still wants to eventually do a show, but not right now....

I'll give it a try.....


Lately, I've been doing shows for all kinds of different DS consultants. I think their guests are already bombarded with offers from the hosts to join THEIR company. I still ask everyone. You never know....
 
I had three contacts today. One sale and one possible October/November show. Not too shabby. :)
 
Okay, it has been a long time since I have posted. I just finished catching up on this thread, and I have renewed inspiration. My 3 contacts a day have been sporadic. I probably reach 3 maybe 3-4 times a week. Now, I am ready to be more consistent.

I started September with about 4-5 kitchen shows and 2-3 cattys. 2 kitchen shows postponed on me. (1 til Oct, one still needs to reschedule). 2 kitchen shows turned into catalog shows, so I will end up with 1-2 kitchen shows and about 5 catty shows for September.

Today's three contacts: Spoke to a lead I met at Office Depot on Saturday. She had not heard about PC. She booked an Oct. 10th show today. Talked to my last Thursday host about closing out her show, we will do that tomorrow, but we talked a little about the opportunity, yea!!!, and she mentioned that her most recent outside order (which was for a single corn butterer) wanted to host a show, so I called that person, and we booked for Oct. 15th. (which I will give to my hostess of course, if she signs). I am feeling very productive and happy now!

More calls to do tomorrow!
 
for today I:
1. spoke with last Friday's host about an totaling an order
2. initial host coaching for an Oct host
3. spoke with a host who recently cancelled and who has not intentions of rescheduling. Actually, to be honest I'm glad to "bless & release" this one!
4. Spoke to 2 of my newer recruits to set up coaching calls with them
5. Confirmed a date with one of my potential bookings from a weekend show

I had a lot of email contacts today - one October host who cancelled, maybe a possible reschedule or catty show, online orders, and an email asking about the opportunity!! I also left a ton of voicemails! Tonight was a bad night to make calls (family scheduling), but I have my list ready for tomorrow......

Hope you all had a great & productive day
 
I spoke today with a guest from my show yesterday - she is going to book a show - can't do it real soon - but I'm hoping before the end of the year. Talked to my 2 hosts from Friday and Sunday and a catalog show host who will closing out her show tomorrow. Left message for a future host about setting her date - hoping to get some calls back soon.

Great job Brenda! Way to get back in there!
 
I had a great 3-2-1 day today.

2 shows booked for November! YAY!

Ran into a potential recruit at the grocery store. She mentioned she got something in the mail from me but hadn't opened it yet. It was an invite to my open house Friday. She said she'd try to come and thanked me for keeping in touch with her.

Closed two shows also. One for $426.04 and one for $593.07.

Also spoke to several peeps about my Open house and even if they can't come, said they'd order!
 
Forgot to add that I spoke with one of my catalog hosts and she has a $178 order in addition to 5 more she has to still give me. Looks like it'll be a good one. We'll close on the 30th though.
 
Spoke to Two of my upcoming host about their shows........ in Oct.... Made a few customer care calls... and some potentaial booking dates!!
 
host coaching, host coaching, host coaching...........
wow! Getting a full calendar means I spend so much time on the phone with hosts as most of mine are VERY chatty!

Have a new recruit lead, she is a guest of an upcoming show. She can't make the show, but requested info on becoming a consultant. And of course I will be sending her the new promo flyer:love: :love:

Did have 2 shows cancel today - and honestly it really didn't bother me as they were both booked so far out that I was questioning if they would hold. If anything I'm just happy that they cancelled now, when I have time to rebook those dates:p

I also did some coaching calls with my team - I'm really trying to get them to take advantage of this recruiting promo. IT IS HUGE!!

Did I ever tell you guys how much I LOVE being a PC Consultant (and soon to be Director!):love: :love: :love:
