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

[Bren706]

Well, here I am again! I haven't posted too much this week, as I have been battling an ear infection. This week I did some host coaching and closed out a few shows for October. But, there is some excitement in that. I made my $15,000 career sales! Yay! I had a shift on both Friday and today for our booth at the Holiday Market. Out of about 40 leads, I would say about 10 are really interested in booking, with about 8 more maybe's. I also took $375 in orders!!! What a start to the SAL!

I plan on making follow up calls on Monday and Tuesday. I have shows on Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday this week, so that will be the only chance to make calls.

I love this thread. Just reading how everyone else is doing, keeps me motivated.

I had a Holiday Market today - got about $200 in orders and a rep from Lia Sophia wants to book a show (probably in Jan) as she's in the middle of kitchen renovation. I have a show tomorrow afternoon and Tuesday and am hoping for many more bookings - go sell-a-thon!

show today was a first for me, in that she CLOSED at the show!! That was weird, I've never had a host so ready and KNOW EXACTLY what she wanted. Kinda cool. 3 dated bookings (2 Jan, 1 Feb), another possible but she is also a STRONG recruit lead. She is the host's daughter, and I told her that if she signs, I will give her the 3 bookings from her mom's show. They were all family, so I KNOW they would rather do a show for her than me!!

Oh, I got "THE" call yesterday from HO!! I actually missed it, I was getting my kids off the bus so I had to call back. I was really nervous, since other cheffers say that it usually takes until after the 10th to get the call. So I was worried that one of my recruits shows didn't go thru or was on hold and it was holding up promoting. But nope, it's official, I'm a Director!! Now, to keep recruiting!!

Way to go Amy! It's official!:thumbup:

Nothing too much to report here. I just did some host coaching and trying to figure out if my show for tomorrow is cancelled or not....

[amy07]

submitted a show, talke to an upcoming host, and another that I'm trying to close. Not feeling well tonight, so not wanting to make the calls either.......back to work tomorrow!

 

[Bren706]

I received an e-mail this morning from someone that stopped at the Holiday Market booth yesterday and wanted me to call her. She wants some product, so she needs a catalog. Made one host coaching call. Other than that, I normally don't make calls on Sunday, so that one contact was a Bonus!! I have many, many, many calls to accomplish tomorrow!

 

[Christ Follower]

My show today cancelled so no contacts for me. (well, no one was coming so it turned into a catty show instead)

I will make lots this week though as my month officially gets crazy in a few days.

 

[Christ Follower]

So I guess I did make a few contacts today. Unfortunately it was my show today that cancelled (turned into the catty show)

and now the combo show I was supposed to do the 13th just "postponed" till December some time.

RATS! And I was so excited about having 10 cooking shows!

At least I have 2 for December now but I really wanted it for the SAT!

 

[raebates]

So, I did a rare Sunday show. She closed that night, with $500+ in sales and three bookings.

Sounds like it was worth it! Congrats!

I try not to work PC on Sundays, and I especially make a point not to mix my PC business with Church.....but yesterday it just kept happening! A host for the end of the month sat in front of me in church......and wanted to ask me questions after the service.......I ran into a host from last week in the Atrium, and she wanted to talk about her delivery date. Then ran into someone who booked for Jan. from her show.......then went down to the Cafe' at church, and one the volunteers working there is in the middle of a catalog show.....and one of the other volunteers got all excited about the fact that I am a PC consultant....and wanted to ask me some questions about stoneware....and mentioned that she didn't have a consultant anymore, and would like a catalog........

The funny thing is, the vast majority of my shows are not with people from church....and I go to a very large church, and can go several weeks w/o seeing a host from a show......it was just funny that yesterday every time I turned around I was running into one!

So - those were my only PC contacts yesterday!

Okay, so this afternoon I had to rush my boxer to the vet b/c her whole head was swollen. They gave her a shot and she's getting better.

When I was paying, the girl noticed my red PC yoga jacket and asked "Do you work for Pampered Chef? I love Pampered Chef!" I ended up leaving her a mini catalog. I think I will take a full size one in tomorrow and get some contact info for follow-up.

Then at Bunco tonight, I collected 3 different orders for my SIL's party.

So, I made over 3 today. How about everyone else?

 

[ChefBeckyD]

Hmmm, yesterday - I called a couple hosts who had delivery of products Fri/Sat.....both said it was so much fun seeing what everyone else bought - and made them want even more!
Then, my SD called to congratulate me on my Oct sales and bookings (12 shows, $5330 in sales, 19 bookings) and to chat with me a little on balancing my business when doing 10-12 shows a month. She is so incredible....I am so thankful for my upline, and realize I am blessed to have such great women as my support!

Then, I had a show last night - right now, $650 in sales, with one dated booking for January, and one who hasn't dated a show yet....but has said she'll let me know by the closing date. PLUS 2 women very interested in signing.....one is sooooo close. She hosted a show in Jan, and ended up doing her own demo and show because I got very sick and couldn't be there. She had a $500 show! Since then, I have been talking with her about doing this - and she wants to, but has some issues she needs to work through - a bad past experience with a PC consultant, and she has also gone inactive twice as a CM consultant.......
The other woman is working retail, and looking for a way out - she loves the idea of PC, and I sent her home with a DVD.

 

[Bren706]

Yesterday, I made lots of calls. The day started out with a 11/17 host calling me to cancel. She has a lot of family issues going on. She told me I can follow up sometime next year. And then I received a call from my 11/18 host. She wanted to discuss preparation for her show, recipes, AND.........becoming a consultant!!!! We are going to get together Friday for coffee. I also talked to my current team member a little.

Then, with the rest of the calls, I booked 4 more shows, (Filled my 11/17 cancellation, booked a December, and 2 January shows.).

3 more people that I spoke to asked me to call back. (2 within the week, and one in Dec.)

4 others were not interested in having shows, but gave me their e-mails to receive my newsletter. (They entered the drawing for the cookbook, which was my Advanced Director's decision)

Did a host coaching call, and left messages with 3 more leads. I also sent an e-mail and left a message for someone who has a friend that is interested in the opportunity.

I need to make some more calls tonight, as I have a show Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday this week.

 

[amy07]

made my contacts yesterday, nothing great to report other than I did finally close an Oct show. Also a past host who was very interested in the biz but DH said "no way" gave me her order for her booking benefit and she brought up the opp again. I told her that I KNOW that she would be a star, and she thinks so to, but her DH is still against the idea. I told her that maybe they could reach a compromise - 2 shows/month. She's thinking more about it......

 

[raebates]

Made 4 contacts yesterday. The result was one maybe turned into a, "Yes, I want to do one in December, but I'll be having it at my MIL's house, and we need to pick a date." I told her my calendar's filling up quickly. We should have a scheduled date in the next couple of days.

Rae - that is funny, because this morning I finally got a date from a host...because she is having her show at her mom's house, and they had to agree on a date!

 

[Christ Follower]

Just got ANOTHER November booking! November 29th.

That brings me back upto 10 Cooking shows and 4-5 catalog shows!

Still only have 2 for December and 0 for January....gotta get on that darn phone more today!

I've actually had a couple of these. Got an email this morning from a host who's co-hosting with her SIL. They finally agreed on a date. Thank goodness I'm available that evening! Another definite November show for me.

Okay, so in addition to the booking listed above....

I closed the first of 10 shows for the month at $691.

I collected a payment and made a delivery to a customer.

I host coached a host for this Saturdays "combo" PC/PL party. She's expecting at least 17 people there.:thumbup:

Then went to the store (a different one than normal) and chatted with the cashier and gave her a mini catty.

 

[amy07]

great job Ellen!!

Nothing too great to report for last night. Got in my calls, no shows booked, and no shows closed. Did have a team member come over to use the computer to submit another show. She needs 2 more to qualify, so hopefully by the end of the year.
I REALLY need to get working on December shows. Have 3, but 1 I don't think will hold. I'll even take holdover November cattys just to give me a commission in Dec & Jan! Jan has 5 shows so far........

 

[ChefBeckyD]

Had a show last night that went well. The host has been out of town for the past 2 weeks with her sick MIL, who passed away last Friday. She just got back into town yesterday morning. She didn't want to cancel, because while gone, she didn't have phone #'s to let everyone know, and I didn't have #'s to do it for her. Soooo, she hadn't made any reminder calls to people, and we were just hoping for the best. (she is one of those hosts who has also become a friend - love her!:love: )
She had 4 guests, $300 in sales.....and will work on outside orders. She has a show every Nov., and in the past they have been $700-$900, with many outside orders - so I know she'll still do well.
Also got one more booking (for a catalog show) for January.....and another for March with the new catalog (she has a catalog show every season at her work)


Today - I need to focus on host coaching calls and getting ready for my big Fundraiser this Saturday......and I have a cluster meeting this evening. Oh - and I am also talking to two past hosts today who both are seriously considering signing this month!

 

[caynreth]

Yesterday I did some host coaching for my two shows this weekend, talked to a potential host for January - she's still sitting on the fence - and turned an individual order for $40 into a catalog show. Today I have about 7 booking leads to follow up on!

Didn't get as many contacts in yesterday as I wanted. I received a call from someone that placed an order (about $22.00) at the Holiday Market. She called to ask about the shipping on her order. She thought that it would be free, because her friend that she was with didn't have to pay shipping. I told her that I was offering free shipping for orders $50.00 and higher. She said the last booth she visited at a similar event in the spring, the consultants were offering a 10% discount as well as free shipping. I let her know that we all run our businesses differently. I let her know that I already submitted her order, and that I would send her a SB cookbook as appreciation.

I also spoke to a recent catalog host (who only had about $70.00 in orders, so I combined it with another show) who has the $ for one of the orders, as well as another order for me.

I left about 3 messages with leads from Holiday Market, and made a couple host coaching calls.

I have a show tonight, tomorrow, and Saturday and Sunday, so my contacts will be at the shows. Not sure if I will get any phone calls in.

 

[Bren706]

Had my show tonight. There was about 7 guests plus the host in attendance. No one there had ever been to a Pampered Chef show!!! I only have about $50-60 in orders from about half the group. I am not sure how many of the other half will order. Out of the three that did place orders, they did not have payment. We are keeping the show open for a week. I did get one booking for a beginning of December show. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will at least qualify for a show , especially since I bought the ingredients.

I have another show tomorrow (and Saturday, and Sunday) and am expecting about 10 guests, so I am hopiong for good things on Thursday!

How did everyone else do with contacts today?

 

[amy07]

tonight was spirit night for my kids school so we were out doing that - meaning no calls for Amy
Did manage a few contacts during the day - and then I just sent an email to my contact list about the outlet this month, so maybe that will drum up some sales!
