Yesterday, I only got 1 contact in, and left messages with about 8 others.

Today, I have had 1 contact so far, and it was someone calling me.......to book a show. She was looking for a Saturday date. My first available Saturday is her birthday, July 19th, so she did not want that, so now she is booked for August 2nd!

I hope to set aside some time this evening to make some calls.
 
I had one contact today - a customer who called to add to her order from a show this week. The host is thrilled, because it pushed her over the $400 mark, and she has about $80 more in orders coming in, so now she's shooting for $500.

Other than that, I was up at 6:30 this morning cooking like a mad woman for DH and his Stagehand Crew from church. He had them all over for breakfast.

I made:
Breakfast Casserole (secret recipe I got from the Cook at the Camp where I used to work summers!)
Baked Blueberry Pecan French Toast w/ homemade Blueberry Syrup
Fruit Salad w/ Apricot Nectar Dressing
Peppered Brown Sugar Bacon (from last winters SB - I think)
Cran/Apple Juice with lime slices
Orange/Pineapple Juice w/ lemon & orange slices
Coffee

Breakfast was at 9am, but they hung around chatting and drinking coffee til after 11am. Then I cleaned up, did a little (very little!:D ) housework, and went to WW Greenhouse for the afternoon! Now, I'm home - just informed DH I've done enough cooking for the day, and that he is taking us out for dinner tonight.

It's been a full day, and I'm tired!
 
Oooo Becky - go have a fun dinner out!!!!

Did I mention it would be a LATE dinner?

DH is on the roof - has to get to a certain point before he can call it quits today!

It is STILL dinner out - just make sure he takes a shower first. ;)
 
Had 5 contacts yesterday. I don't usually do the Saturday thing, but I was out running errands and took along my call list. Got 1 June catalog show and did some good customer care.
 
I am so glad that other people are keeping up w/ their contacts.I did a street fair yesterday, not a heavy flow of people, but made lots of contacts. 1 lady took recruiting info, but wouldn't give me her info. A couple booking leads.
 
had a recruit interview yesterday, sounds promising. We booked a show for her to take the kit credit, but may turn it in as a catty sooner if she gets enough outside orders.
had one of the absolute worst shows of my PC career last night. but it is over and I'm wrapping my head around my meeting Tuesday and moving on.
 
No contacts for me this weekend. DH and I went out of town to see a bunch of concerts. Had a blast! It was a nice break.

I am now focusing on my list of leads to call for tomorrow's booking blitz. Hopefully I can come back to report more dates booked in my calendar!
 
I was kind of wondering if anyone would be making calls today! I didn't because a) I'm at work and b) I think it's rude to call people on Mother's day. Not that it means a hill of beans to me ... but for those with kids and mothers, I would hate to bother them.
 
Had a booking blitz at our cluster meeting last night. Dialed 12 numbers, made 3 contacts, and out of those 3 contacts, I got 2 bookings (1 June, 1 July). The other contact would like to host a show, but is currently working 2 jobs, and told me she would call me.
 
um, I talked to another mom at scouts. I was wearing a PC sweatshirt. I really didn't ask about hosting or anything. It was the first time I ever talked to her and I didn't want to scare her off. We have lots of opps coming up in the next few weeks that I can ask again. bad me I know. But sometimes I just want to talk to adults without bringing up PC ya know?
Have my team meeting tonight with our contact blitz. hopefully it'll be good!

I totally understand! There are times when I just want to turn it off, so I do!


Hope your blitz is good Amy!
 
Okay so we did our booking blitz last night as well.

I got one July 10th booking, one that may set a date when I call her today and one that is going to look at her calendar this week and get back to me.

I got an order for all 3 HWC items.

I also got two people to say yes to participating in my June Mystery Host Catalog Show. (I need 8 more now for it to work).

I was really hoping for some June shows, but there is still time so hopefully the 7 answering machines that I got will produce some results.
 
So today was a GREAT day for contacts!!! Must have been that momentum from the booking blitz!

I booked a show for June 6th, a show for June 26th and a show for July 11th!

I am so excited! It's not where I want it to be, but it's getting closer.

That makes 5 shows for June and 3 for July so far. And I still have 2 shows this month to try to get some more June shows on the calendar. YAY!
 
We did our booking blitz mid-April, and I got 2 shows and a bunch of callbacks from it. I had been slacking off since, so I decided to do a blitz on my own this evening. I also did a leads housecleaning...sent "one more try" e-mails and voicemails to people whom I've made 3 attempts or more (or I know are jekring me around).

I made it through about 13 calls: 4 voicemails, 2 no's, and 2 bookings! Of the "one more trys" 2 have responded no. Gets them off my mind, which to me is almost as good as a booking :-)

I have 6 more to go...and will save them for another windy, rainy night.
 
so I had 2 team members show up to do the blitz, but we booked 3 shows! And I had my newest recruit lead come to the meeting tonight as well so that was awesome. I'm sure she is signing, but I refuse to count my chicks before I get the email confirmation!
So, of my calls tonight, 1 booking and a whole lot of machines! Oh well, atleast my team saw that it happens to me too and that there isn't some kind of magic dust in my phone. Sometimes I think they think it is easier for me..............if they only knew!
 
I was lazy today. Did make 3 calls, but two people weren't home.

I did touch base with my June 1 host, who is now my June 8 host ... called the target of my pampering efforts and found out the business manager is not in until tomorrow ... so I'll be dropping the treats off on the way to work.

I watched American Idol tonight and figured everybody else did too ...

Also hope to get some of the flyers to our cluster's mega show into the hands of Relay people tomorrow ...
 
Made my calls today, and made 4 contacts:

~A lead from a booth I did a couple of weeks ago; she is busy right now, but said it is okay to give a call back in a couple of months.

~A customer care call with no significant outcome, BUT she did give me a referral (her boyfriend' sister), so..........

~My 3rd contact was to the referral. She had not heard of The Pampered Chef before, so I am going to send her the catty, specials flyer, and opportunity information, and will follow up on Monday.

~Another customer care call - the customer appreciated me calling, loves her products, but "doesn't cook". A couple items on her order were for another coworker (who ordered a color coated knife) so I mentioned our new ones. I am going to send her a catty and specials flyer to forward on. (She would only give me the name of the coworker).

2 contacts today

1 - answered questions about when the metal pans will be available again. (CC call, and she had wanted to purchase one at the show she attended)

2 - talked to an upcoming host - reminded her that bookings from her show could be her own.

I also closed 2 shows, and then ran out of time to make any more calls.
 
Way to go with those contacts ladies! Okay so I need to ADD to my list today. (I know...it's a first...lol)

In addition to my bookings, I got a call back from one of my answering machine girls who purchased the HWC gloves and also agreed to participate in my Mystery Host Show for June! (3 down...7 to go)

Ellen - you are on fire!:thumbup:

Great Job!
 
Made 3 contacts Monday. Had a show Tuesday. No contacts yet today, but it's not over yet. :)
 
I'm back! (Again!):blushing:

I made my three contacts today. One no, one call back in fall and one to add to my newsletter list.
 
today I did quite a bit of host coaching (my weakest area by the way!). I have a early June show who did her evites today (33!:D ) and already has 6 who have said yes! :sing: She is probably one of my most excited hosts ever. Oh, how I need it to be a good show too! Especially with june being SAT!
I also struck up a conversation with a family at chik-fil-a before my DD's gymnastics practice. Found out that they live not too far from me, so I gave the mom one of my cards and told her we could meet for a playdate sometime. She and her hubby both noticed my PC logo wear and catty bag. So, I'm counting that as a contact too!
I've also got an email out for another potential fundraiser. I'm really hoping that pans out.
 
oooh, can't believe I forgotCan't believe I forgot to put this in my previous post. But I talked to my recruit lead today. I'm meeting up with her tomorrow to give her more catty's for her show. But I'm thinking we may end up doing her agreement instead. She's is rocking and rolling on making contacts and her excitement is over the top!:love: :D :love: :D
 
Pampered a pair of businesses today. Also hit the bigger real estate office on Wednesday. Is it me ... or do they seem excited? I really hope something arises out of this!
 
3 contacts yesterday. 3 today. Gave away two catalogs. Great customer connections.
 
met with my recruit lead again and made the calls. picked up an order from one call and did some host coaching. also working on another fundraiser, just need to get the board members on board and it's a go! Don't know why they would turn down free $, but what do I know!?!?
 
No contacts for me yesterday, but my contacts for today were:

~My friend booked a June show (that makes 12 for June. Let's hope they all hold)

~Two contacts said no thanks.

~Another contact said, "not right now", so I got permission to follow up in the fall. I am also sending her a use & care card for her spritzer. (I gained her e-mail as well).

~also mentioned the opportunity to an upcoming host.
