I have made a TON of contacts today, mostly calls for my open house on Friday. So far, about 13 yes's so far but already $300 in sales!

No bookings today though. :0(

I was just happy I got to get a hold of real people!

 

[Bren706]

Didn't get my evening calls in that I wanted to BUT, that is okay, because my time was spent on closing last weeks show, and getting ready to sign the host up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is using her host credit, so now we just have to wait until tomorrow or so so that she can sign up on-line.

I have one other girl on my team, but she has not qualified yet, and will go inactive after 9/27. . So close to FD!!! I do have one other lead that I sent the flyer to today, and will be following up over the weekend. (Interviewed her a couple of weeks ago, and she asked to give her 2-3 weeks.)

I did make a customer care call today, she had already told me at the show in August that she may host in December or so.

Spoke to the postal clerk today about PC, but she really wasn't interested. Her husband buys her lots of PC products and she doesn't use them is what she told me.

It will be another day of phone calls tomorrow!!!!

I spoke with a host today. Meeting to Close her show tomorrow. She has two bookings to add to her own re-booking. That makes four for November sell-a-thon. Yeah!! I'm meeting to close another show tomorrow. And talking to a catalog host about closing this week. I'll follow up with my Saturday host tomorrow. Oh, and I have an order for 40 large serving spatulas. Crazy huh? I'm submitting this as a show tomorrow. Easy. This is my biggest sales month ever in 2 1/2 years.

Me too! I've passed my record by $100 so far and I still have a cooking show, open house, and 2 catty shows to turn in by the end of the month!:thumbup:

 

[raebates]

My Tuesday evening calls had to wait because we had some storms coming through. I don't do calls when there's lightening. I did, however, talk to one person about recruiting and two others about PC in general while I was out and about during the day. So, actually, I got my 3 contacts in. I'll be making extra calls this evening, though, to make up for last night.

 

[JAE]

Great job, everyone.
Well, thankfully, I've been so busy with shows this month that I haven't had time to make calls. I've been making my contacts at shows. It's better that way for me. So last night I made apprx. 10 contacts and Monday I made apprx. 9. So I should be good for 6 days. Last week I made 9 or 10 at shows, too.
Now I have to make calls again because I don't have a show for two weeks and I'd like to fill up my November. I have three shows booked for October and 3 in November, so off to the phone for more bookings. I don't want to spend my earnings on the new products. I want to earn them FREE!
I'm also having a great month as far as sales go. This is my highest selling month ever. Yippee!
Keep going, everyone!

Hey
Paulettes gone missing again. Paulette....Where are you???

 

[raebates]

I contacted three people today, resulting in 1 order. I also have a past host who decided to skip this year, but definitely wants to do a show next year. I assured her I'd keep in touch. Let me tell you about the show I closed today. The host was supposed to do a cooking show on Sunday, but wound up having to take her dad to the hospital.I called her Monday to see how her dad was doing. The message I left just asked about her dad. I didn't mention her show. She called me back to apologize for not holding her show date. (Her dad's doing better.) I assured her it was no problem. She wanted to change to a catalog show so the people who had already ordered could get their stuff. (I love a considerate host. )So, I show up today to close the show and, instead of the $150 - $200 in orders I thought she had said she had, she had about $60 in orders. Well, I told her that it wasn't a problem. She really wanted them to get their things right away. She also had a couple of things she wanted right away, so I told her I would place them as an individual order. Well, she decided to order enough to make it a show so she could get the 60% off on cookware. She used her 60% to get the 7-piece Executive. Plus, she booked a new show for October. Yippee!

 

[amy07]

today has been one of those days where I feel like I'm on the hamster wheel!:yuck: :yuck: You know, when you're doing things for your business that need to be done (host packets, guest folders, etc) but things that don't make you money. Trip to post office, yada yada yada
So again I'm trying to keep up with host coaching, which has not left alot of time for other calls. But I did find out that one of my cancellations from a few weeks ago has about $200 in orders to submit for a catty so I'm going to pick those up tomorrow.
Confirmed a catalog show for October tonight -sending one of those host packets that I made today.
Trying to close out my shows from this weekend - one host is asking alot of questions about our biz. Of course I want her signed TODAY, but she is thinking after the new year. And I KNOW that I would rather have her on her time than my own!
Left messages for some other potential catalog shows, and trying to contact upcoming hosts - no luck on any of those calls yet.

also spoke to one of my new team members. She has some family members that have fallen ill right after she signed, and has yet to do a show. Her one scheduled show that is coming up we were going to do together as her kick-off. If she can't do it (and the host is very anxious), then I'm doing the show for her and giving her the sales, bookings, recruit leads.

so, how was your day?

 

[Bren706]

Rae, glad to hear about your host. Wow, not only does she order enough to get the orders to a show, plus order the cookware, but turns around and books a cooking show for the following month. Yippee for you!

My day wasn't all that productive. I started to make phone calls, left one message, and then received a call from my sister in Massachusetts, so we chatted for 25 minutes, and then my phone time was up, so that I could get the kids in bed.

I corresponded with a clustermate about a street festival we are doing together on Saturday. Talked to someone that was supposed to do a Cooking show in September, but had to reschedule. She is a manager at a McD's, and due to some personnel issues (mgrs out on leave) her scheduling has gone from month to month - to - week by week, so it is hard for her to plan. So I called her tonight and she is going to do a catty show.

Tried reaching an August catty show host that still hasn't closed her show, and I haven't heard from her in over two-three weeks. (she does not return my messages) Her voicemail picked up but I did not leave a message this time. :grumpy:

I got one or two more answering machines for customer care calls.

 

[JAE]

Wow, my day was pretty productive. I had a show Monday and this morning it was at $400+. Well, I've spent a lot of time transfering orders from my website for this show to P3. Her show is over $600 and she called me with a name and number for a November 13 show. Now, I have four shows booked for November. Yippee! I also e-mailed all the guests who placed online orders and one replied saying she definitely wants to have a show as soon as she gets moved and is settled. I know phone is best, but if e-mail works, it works!

Way to go JAE!:thumbup:

 

[Christ Follower]

I corresponded through e-mail also. I sent one potential booking my availabe October dates so I am hoping to speak with her tomorrow.

I did a host coaching e-mail as well (per her request b/c she's never home).

I also collected an order for my open house on friday.

I have a show tomorrow (today) and that will most likely be my 3-2-1 since I will be getting my house ready for Friday's open house.

 

[amy07]

ooohhhhhh I had the BEST call after I posted last night. I spoke with one of my team members who told me that she didn't want to do PC anymore. I was ok with it, atleast she did try it and did qualify. Well, turns out that PC has been coming to her, and she has 2 catalog shows to submit! I am so excited for her, and she sounds much more positive just knowing that she can just do the catalog shows, and keep earning free products for herself, and get a little pocket money too! Now, I had mentioned that to her before, but I guess she didn't think it could really happen. Oh, I am so excited for her!

 

[raebates]

Rae, glad to hear about your host. Wow, not only does she order enough to get the orders to a show, plus order the cookware, but turns around and books a cooking show for the following month. Yippee for you!

The poor little thing was so excited about doing a party to get 60% off cookware. She kept apologizing for not holding her show. Isn't it a shame that all of our hosts aren't this conscientious? Gee whiz, her dad had complications from back surgery. She needed to be at the hospital for herself as well as for her dad. She would never have enjoyed herself if she'd held the party.

She also told me that her guests were very disappointed that she had to postpone. They understood, but they were looking forward to the party. I knew she was probably going to reschedule. What I didn't expect was for her to make up the show difference and purchase a set of cookware. That was a very nice surprise. :balloon: I've now earned one of the two pieces I want from the Pan-O-Rama. I should have the other earned in a couple of weeks. Have I mentioned lately that I love my job?

ALOT has happened since Monday night.......and it's great to see how a show that you thought was just so-so has become a TERRIFIC show! You are definitely on your way to an INCREDIBLE November!!! You are doing so well!

 

[JAE]

Thanks BeckyD! You are a God-send. Really, I mean it. I appreciate this site, too.
Closed a show today. Closing two three shows tomorrow. I'll try to make calls today, but next week is when I'm really going to get going on the phone again. I have most of my evenings free because I don't have any shows until Oct. 9.
I love hearing everyone's successes, and appreciate the encouragement we give each other when things aren't going so great.

Had a show tonight.

5 confirmed yes's turned into 3 attending guests.

Between the 3 of them sales were $173 though. All said not ever to a show and the business. The hosts mom (who wasn't there) wants me to do a combo/open house for her in late October or early November. I would be doing it at her new remodeled house with her daughter that sells Arbonne.
So technically I guess it's a booking but no date is set yet.

I got a "no" on the business from a potential recruit.

A couple more yes's for my Open house tomorrow night too.

At least I made my contacts today.

 

[Christ Follower]

Oh ya, almost forgot! When I got home from the show, a guest who didn't make it to her show had put in a $54 for her show through my web site! Plus the host will try to collect more orders.

She is getting the 7 piece SS with her 60% off and the 5-piece SS with her 50% off!!!

 

[Addie4TLC]

You are all doing GREAT!

PAN-O-RAMA!!! I see you're doing great!!! As part of my 3-2-1 I decided to contact all of my inactive consultants including those that others recruited. I sent them new catalogs, monthly special and a note encouraging them to get back on track. One responded thru her recruiter (who didn't even know I had sent her something) and said that she used the catalogs I sent her to collect orders and got 3 (YES THREE!!!) catalog shows. Her computer broke down so she wanted to know if she could come by and use my spare computer to submit them!! I took a chance because mailing three catalogs is not cheap!! Now I will follow up with the others and see what happens.

 

[Bren706]

Thursday was another not so productive day. Well, I did work on my newsletter, (check it out under the October thread in the Newsletter Forum)and sent it out to all my contacts, except for the new Sept. ones.

I spoke to one catty host to prepare her for closing on Sunday. She only has one order, but it is $150 in itself. I spoke to another potential host who expressed interest in the DCB, but she told me she is too busy, even for a catalog show. Left one or two messages. Started looking at more contacts, but was analyzing, instead of just picking up the phone and calling. Kick me in the butt!!!!!

 

[raebates]

Thursday I spoke with a few people in person, so I got my contacts in. Didn't make any calls, though. Just one of those days when the phone seems too heavy to pick up. Back in call mode tonight.

 

[raebates]

I've been puttering around the house this morning. I'm still in my robe, as a matter of fact. However, I've already got one contact for the day. A great customer/past host called me a few minutes ago. She has a few friends who need to see catalogs. She'll get their orders. If it's enough for a show (or close), she'll do a catty. If not, she'll get the orders to me so I can add them to someone else's show. Woo hoo!And, before you ask, I've talked with her time and again about recruiting. She's not interested. That won't stop me from asking again, though.

 

[raebates]

Okay, so in addition to the wonderful, out-of-the-blue call I had this morning, I made two other contacts. I also closed a $580 catalog show with 1 booking. Have I mentioned that I love my job?

 

[JAE]

Rae, you are such a good worker. It's inspiring. I closed five shows this week (two catalog, three kitchen), and three of them were closed today. Talked to one of the hosts about becoming a consultant, and received five bookings off of my three cooking shows. Also made at least 10 new contacts with parents from my son's class. His teacher is getting married and I offered a catalog to the teacher and told him to make a list. So far 10 parents pitched in to buy PC products for his gift, and we already were able to get the entire list.

I had my Open house tonight. Not a great turn out attendance wise. A TON of people cancelled at the last minute and many I spoke to yesterday just didn't show up! The sales are at $463 right now though with some more orders coming in. No bookings.

 

[raebates]

Thanks, JAE. Wow, looks like you had a busy week. I'm hoping you got lots of Pan-O-Rama points in those five shows. Personally, I am only 67 points from earning everything I was shooting for. Since we have another two months and I have one September catty left to close, I imagine I'll be earning extras. That September catty was from my last cooking show. She wants cookware, and the host she booked from is looking forward to using her booking bonus to get more cookware. Gee, decisions, decision. It's so difficult to decide how to spend those "extra" Pan-O-Rama points.

 

[Christ Follower]

WOW RAE!!!

You are kicking boodie this month!

3-2-1...

I closed a catty show today.

I booked an October show (tentative date though)

I spoke to other current hosts that need to close shows by tomorrow and they said they'd be ready....yay!

Also, my only recruit who will go inactive tomorrow if she doesn't submit will (with my help) be submitted a $200 order! That will get her qualified and me 2000 points! She signed over a year ago and has never done a cooking show. She submits a catty show or takes a leave of absence to stay qualified. She told me she wants to watch me do some shows and give PC a real shot!
