I called the two people who I gave the opp info to. One wants me to call back tomorrow and the other is not interested.:cry: Hopefully the one tomorrow will be interested and will want to sign in May! I could use some points!!!!
 
made tons of calls, but just barely made my 3 contacts. nothing great to report yet. Now, to get busy on this awesome recruiting promotion!
 
made a few calls last night, and actually reached 3 contacts. Nothing significant to report, but there is one person that said she would be too busy over the summer, and gave me permission to follow up in the fall.
 
Made my 3 contacts today:

~The clerk at the grocery store - I gave her my card and a mini-catty, and got her info. She is getting married soon, so I told her that I would call her about our registry!

~A customer care call that got me her e-mail address, but no further interest at this time.

~Called a host that was scheduled for yesterday, but had went MIA about a week ago. My last contact with her was that she had an emergency to tend to at that moment, so we didn't get to talk. (And she was a lead from a booth two weeks ago). She rescheduled her show for June 16th, but I also mentioned the business opportunity and the new recruiting promotion to her (she had checked yes on her DPDS). She sounded interested. I told her I would e-mail the flyer, and if she wanted to meet before her show was scheduled, we could do that.

~I also sent an e-mail to one of my consultants to check in with her. I had not talked to her in a couple of weeks. (I also know her from the Mom's group I am involved in, so we have playgroups together). She let me know that she is taking courses in college now, and had no shows in April, and none lined up for May, and thinks she may go inactive and commit herself to her schooling, and a career with computers. UGH!!!!!! Now I really need to get my recruiting in high gear. I do not want to lose FD status!!!!!!!
 
Nobody answered. UGH, so good last night not tonight.
 
I made 3 today.

#1. Product adjustment (hey it counts as customer care right?)

#2. Had a lady come up to me at the bank and ask for a catalog. I was caught off guard and gave her the catalog but didn't get any of her information.

#3. Asked my friend that did my hair today if she wanted to have a show and she said probably in July but no date was set.
 
host coaching last night, and working on that lead list!
 
Hey, I haven't been on this thread because I haven't been doing 3-2-1. But, since Regional the other day, I am starting up again. I haven't quite gotten to 3 contacts a day, but I'm getting one or two. So far all "no's" until I e-mailed my sister. (I knew she'd respond, so I count that as a contact because she did respond.) She is going to have a show in June. That's the month I'm really focusing on. I saw one person at TJ Maxx and she said to call her for a fall show. Glad I can stop calling her for a while. Left a message, so only two contacts, today. Yielded one show for sellathon. Happy about that.
 
No calls today since my 2 year old has been crying on and off all day.

I did get an order for a HWC scoop. Other than that, nothing new to add.
 
need to get in a good calling routine again. I do good one night, then I get busy with the kids the next and stall on calling.
 
Ellen and Amy, I am right there with you! Gotta love it too, when you are all set to make a few calls, and the kids come hunt you down, and making as much noise as they can.

I have only made 1-2 contacts each day the last couple of days. I have been busy getting ready for a booth at a Spring Bazaar on Saturday. I did stop at Walmart last nilght to get a folding table, and the lady at the door on my way out stopped me (to make sure I had a receipt for the table). She asked me if I was a vendor. I told her I was a vendor, but not a vendor for Walmart. So of course, I led into PC. She had not heard of PC (she was thinking we were a knife company), but is interested in doing something part-time. I got her phone number, and will call her today.
 
i took up a challenge with a fellow cheffer, and we made 1 hour of daytime calls today. Happy to report I have a new MAY show!! I'm working hard with this woman to sign as well. She's interested in the opp for so many reasons, but just will not commit..........yet! So, maybe with a little prayer it will pan out as a grand opening show!
So, contacts made for the day! :D
 
oh, and after seeing all the great success Becky has had with outlet orders I've been sending out emails like crazy, one for the outlet & HWC and the other the signing bonus for May recruits.
 
I did a lot of grocery shopping today (one for Costco, and the other regular, but a weekly, instead of daily, trip to the grocery store), so I did not have a chance to get calls in, but I did get a contact in at the store. Gave a catalog away and got contact info. I have a booth tomorrow, and am hoping for a bit of traffic there.
 
Made contact with a friend that does want to do a May show but won't be able to set a date till Tuesday. That's okay with me...that'll make 3 whopping shows this month.

My cousin that lives about 3 1/2 hours away replied to my email saying we could do her June show on the 7th or 14th! YAY! That makes a whopping 3 shows for June.

I also got an order for the pink gloves today. 5 HWC items sold...95 to go! LOL!
 
Well I finally got a host to pick a date for May 22nd! She is someone I met two years ago this month who said she appreciated my follow up and persistence because she had told me 2 years ago she would like to do a show. Things kept coming up but now I have her show on my calendar - so you just never know who may eventually do a show!
 
UGH - I need to get some people nailed down!I have 1 for sure June and 3 possibles that haven't nailed down a date yet!
I also have 4 people that said they want a July show but didn't have calendars around when they talked to me to set the date.I need to get ALL of these nailed down in the next couple weeks!I also have a list of "maybes" - one I can't bug yet because her husband died, another is on vacation for 2 weeks...Sigh...I'm either going to be disappointingly empty on my calendar or insanely busy!!!!...and I have some pasts hosts from last spring to get contacting again because it has been OVER a year since they hosted. They weren't ready a few months ago because of the crappy weather so I'm hoping they "warm up" to June or July. ;)
 
Only one contact yesterday, which led to an order (yippee!), but the rest of the week was good. I'm getting ready to make calls this afternoon, so that should make up for yesterday.
 
I handed out another catalog last night late - she is hopefully booking a show for July. Today I am working on getting another July show on the calendar rather than promised. Everyone else is out and about, I'm busy with housework and I need a nap!...got to bed late, slept like crap, pager went off at 3 a.m. for a structure fire. DH went not me but of course I didn't sleep well, especially when the pager went off for a medical call, all the guys were at the fire and I can't leave kids alone!
 
show tonight.sales so-so. NO BOOKINGS!! and no recruit leads. ****sigh***
 
I'm still not at 3 contacts a day but I've been doing way better this week with at least one or two (gotta love inspiration from Regional!).
And a friend that I have been bugging to have a show ( I don't normally bug, but she's my friend so she gets special treatment:p ) she emailed me on her own today with a date, in June! YAY!! June is sell-a-thon, right?
:)
 
Okay I am slacking again. Kick my butt!
 
butt kicked, Amanda :D
It is Saturday, so maybe it's ok to give yourself a break
 
Thanks Jolene, you are closer than a lot of other cheffers to me to give a kick in the butt.I am sure I will get to meet you at conference since you are in Barb's line.
 
Are you in Barb's line too?
I cannot wait for Conference!
 
Yes I am in her third line, but we will definitely meet at her dinner. Barb also does a Pizza party type of thing for people to drop in for right before conference starts.
 
Had a booth yesterday at a bazaar. Traffic was VERY slow. I ended up with only 5 leads from the "Free Cooking Show" drawing, and 3 others for customer service related issues (replacement parts). Had about $50-60 in sales. The person in charge of organizing the bazaar took information on Fundrasing for the Youth Basketball team. I am hoping to hear back this week whether or not there is any interest on that.
 
Calls made. Collected another order. :)
 
No PC for me today...well, maybe just one call. I have to call a lady at church who was trying to catch me today but we missed between services. Otherwise, I try to respect Sunday as a church/family day. We're all working together out in the yard. ...just came in for a drink and about 5 minutes of R&R.
 
connected with my FR chairperson, she's collecting some orders. Need help with that area. It's in the FR forum, new community organization. If you have time, take a peek. I'm open to any/all suggestions!
thinking of calling a recruit lead, but honestly I'm in a cranky mood, so I think better wait until tomorrow.
