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

[ChefBeckyD]

Well, I pop in here once in awhile but don't post much on this thread because my 3-2-1 is more like 3 contacts a week, 2 shows a month, 1 recruit a year right now.

But, I just submitted my Saturday show - gave me a new high show total. Left it open trying to get her to get to $800 comm. but didn't quite make it - oh well, she is VERY happy! Over $400 worth of products for $85. She'll buy more at her SIL's show the end of February - at least 2 items at 60% off. I also got an order at work for my mom's catalog show and that lady decided to do her own catalog show in February to get 2 items at 60% off. She had an open booking off her own catalog show in Sept. and was waiting to use it so she gets 4 items at 60% off! Then I called a friend and she is going to by a stone too...Mom's show won't be big but it'll make a show at least. She's happy with that since I'm trying to get her to do another one in February so she can get the 60% off two items (well if she books off herself, 60% off four item). She's trying not to use up all her contacts though.

Anyway, I did my 3 today!

Yea Janet! A great show with a booking, and more bookings on top of that!

And only you can define your 3-2-1! We're just here to encourage you in your goals!:thumbup:

Made one contact who wants a February show. She's over an hour and a half away, though. I need a recruit up there. Thanks to Colleen, who told me about a great mp3 download on CC, I listened to Duska Mills talk about recruiting. I'm going to listen again and again until it's ingrained and I actually do what she says. I will practice at my show next Thursday. Can't wait. I would really like to be a director by Conference, and I'm going to work at learning the best way to get there.

 

[janetupnorth]

JAE - did you hear the FD call awhile back with Duska? I probably still have my typed notes from it...

 

[JAE]

That is what I listened to today online.

 

[janetupnorth]

That is what I listened to today online.

Good then - great call! If you want my notes from it as a reinforcement, just yell.

Okay so I did mine but no real exciting news to report...

#1. Host Coaching call~ I reminded her to look at the business info I put in her packet and told her about using the kit credit. Doesn't seem interested but I will talk more with her at her show.

#2. Called a potential host. Not interested until the summer.

#3. Dad told me to mail him a catty and he'd show the people he rents from.

#4. Past host from over a year ago replied to my message via email telling me she doesn't need anything at this time and just had a baby 2 weeks ago.

So at least I am trying. I sent out some info today too that I will be following up with in a few days.

 

[sfdavis918]

I had a great show sales-wise tonight. So far is at $1040, and she is expecting at least 5 more outside orders. I asked everyone if they wanted to host and have two that want me to call on the weekend to set up.

I changed it up a bit tonight and did the recipe before everyone got there. It was very odd and it is really apparent that I need to study up on some products because I don't know enough about them. I just feel so uncomfortable and like I don't do a good job at all. I really feel like I don't do the selling, the Pampered Chef name does. I think that is why I don't get many bookings at shows. It's really making me wonder if PC is really for me.

Sorry for the little whine. I think I just need to go to bed and see how I feel in the morning. Good night!:indif:

 

[amy07]

Sarah, Don't beat yourself up! You changed your show, and whenever I do that I feel totally at of step too! And that's what's great about PC, we don't have to "be" a salesperson. You had a great show!!

Okay gang - here are my tentative totals for January.....

Shows closed by today - 7
Show totals:

$648
$578
$658
$689
$306
$649
$1243 (and still gathering orders until 6pm today)

total so far $4770 - plus an indv. order for $103 (before double points period) sooooo, totals for the month in points are 11143!!! Whooo Hooo!

I also have 3 very solid recruit leads I am working with - and 8 Cooking, 2 Bridal showers, and 2 Catalog shows on the books for February! 4 bookings for March, and 2 for April. This is by far the best January I have ever had - and alot of it is due to 3-2-1!

Despite the grumbling that alot of people did about the January Host Bonus, it has proven to be a huge success for me. My show avg. has been hovering around $475 for the last year...and this month it is $680. My hosts all wanted that extra free product and they worked to get it!

 

[JAE]

Great job, Becky! Which show if the Tuesday night one that I attended?

 

[ChefBeckyD]

Great job, Becky! Which show if the Tuesday night one that I attended?

She is closing at $649. She was so thrilled! She kept saying how she thought no one would come to her show, and she thought she would end up with just her and her mom and sister there. She had 12! And on the worst night weather-wise this year!

 

[JAE]

What did your think you forgot to say after cutting yourself? The show seemed to work for you.

What did your think you forgot to say after cutting yourself? The show seemed to work for you.

I never finished telling my story, and I really botched up talking about upcoming specials....and I never even mentioned RUFTH!

But, my host has told me that several who were there have told her how much fun they had - and I got 2 bookings, so I'm not going to worry about it too much...

 

[JAE]

They totally seemed like they were having fun, and I didn't think you botched up the specials. You don't want to give too much information, anyway. You want a reason to get back in touch with them after the show. Plus, they really needed to get going to get off the roads. The one lady who wanted to get home to see House really did seem anxious about the time (long hair, glasses, skinny, smoker's voice).

You are so supportive!:love: Thanks!

Yeah - she was the first one to leave! She had to get home in time for House.....and good to see you made it home in time for House too!

 

[JAE]

House was a Christmas show. It was not brand new, but I had never seen it. There is a brand new one after the Super Bowl.

I rarely get to see House anymore - I seem to always have shows....but I love House! Not as obsessively as LOST - but it's one of my favorites.

It was supposed to be shown at christmas but the strike was going on and still is so we will probably be seeing shows that happen like that. SO it actually was new but just not in the timely manner we like new shows. Strike needs to end so us TV junkies can get back to something more then reality tv

becky!!! You are on FIRE!!!!

Becky I am DROOLING over your totals! That is AMAZING!

 

[Gina M]

That's awesome Becky - great job - you are so working it! I'm excited about reaching almost $1800 in sales since it was only 2 shows and a catalog show that closed just over $500 - I had one show reschedule as well - however I do have 3397 points! So that's definitely a good thing!

 

[amy07]

GOD IS GOOD, ALL THE TIME!!:sing: :sing:
ALL THE TIME, GOD IS GOOD!:sing: :sing:


I honestly didn't think I'd make it, BUT I did hit the $3k mark for the month to get those extra 1500 points!!! Show tonight needed to be atleast $330 (remember I typically have low sales/high bookings), but tonight show was a reschedule from 2 weeks ago for snow and she had an AWESOME turnout! I must admit, I did offer up a freebie (product I had on hand, we did a drawing for it) for those in attendance to try to help the host with the reschedule, but she ended up with over $500 in sales, 1 solid booking, several others asked me to call in a few days after they get sports schedules, etc, 1 possible wedding registry, and 2 RECRUIT LEADS!!! AND she closed tonight, just so I could meet the goal! How awesome is that!

 

[Bren706]

That is awesome Amy! I missed the $3000 mark by $278, which could have been my $315 (plus whatever other orders she has collected since) show from last Friday, and have not been able to reach the host to close.

Because I was busy trying to close out 4-5 shows, (and having a day from **** with my two children wreaking havoc) I only got in one contact today, which resulted in another February catty show.

 

[Christ Follower]

I am going to count the 2 shows I closed today as part of my 3-2-1 today because...

#1. Show from Sunday that was a flop (2 in attendence and only $60 in sales) closed at $600 for her ($589 for me)! AND~ she is going to TRY to collect $150 in sales for February so she can get four items at 60% off.

#2. MIA catalog show that I finally got ahold of a week or so ago. Closed at $294. She said "Not now" for a cooking show re-book. (At least I asked)

#3. Got another February catalog show.


So I STILL only have 4 cooking shows for February (my goal was 8). But now I have 5 (maybe 6) catalog shows. I try not to count those till they are submitted though since they seem to be hit or miss for sticking.

 

[raebates]

Well, it sounds like you've all been busy. Good!I had four contacts yesterday resulting in one February catalog show and a possible Feb/Mar show. Not too bad. I'm in a hotel today, but I brought my contact lists with me. I'll be making calls later.

 

[Christ Follower]

Did my 3-2-1 today....

#1. Gave the teller at the bank a catalog after she happened to notice it hanging out of my purse. I didn't get her contact info though. Told her if the other ladies wanted to place orders too we could go ahead and make it "her show."

#2. Host from Sunday told me she didn't want to have a catalog show this month afterall because one of the outside orderers from her show wanted to set up a cooking show for this month!

#3. I called that lady (mentioned above) and told her when I am open this month. She will call me on Sunday or Monday to let me know if that will work for her.

#4. CC call to one of my past hosts. She is so excited that I am sending her the new catalog but most likely wont re-book till July.

 

[amy07]

absolutely positively no contacts today! DH had to pull a double shift and I didn't even attempt to make the calls with all the kiddos running around.

I did receive a guest list with 50 names though, so those invites are ready to go in the mail in the AM.

Still waiting on my IPT to update. My 2 shows I submitted late last night still aren't showing up. I received the confirmation emails so I'm not worried, was just hoping to see something submitted from my team, but I don't think it is going to happen. Moving on to Feb now.....

 

[Bren706]

no contacts for me today too!! Well, I did casually bring up the topic to one of my fence sitters while at Bunco tonight. No change with her position.

I have a brunch show in the morning. I am hoping to get at least one February booking. Right now, I only have 4 cooking shows on the books for February that I believe are going to hold.

 

[Bren706]

My contacts were mainly made at my Brunch show this morning. There were about 10 in attendance. We closed before I left, at $400.00. I only got 1 February catty show booking out of it. UGH! I have 7 catty shows for February now, and only 5 cooking shows. Included in the 5 cooking shows, is another contact that I made today, calling a guest from a show last weekend that expressed interest for a end of the month show. She booked Feb 23rd.

I guess I did make another contact, calling to confirm a credit card # from an O/S order for today's show. I asked about hosting, but no interest.

 

[amy07]

2 shows today, yeah I know I'm crazy. Just have to give my DH proof every now and then
1st show - 1 possible booking for late spring -wants an outdoor show
2nd show - 2 bookings,1 I already had on the books so she could save her date, the other wants FEBRUARY also. I'm not sure how this is going to work. I really didn't want anymore, but I couldn't turn her down. Also, the other bookings is interested in the biz. She works delivering the paper, and it is getting to her working 7 days/week, so me thinks we will be doing some good talking during host coaching!
