[amy07]

[Christ Follower]

Did my show tonight and got my contacts there.

Sales are only around $240 so far with more coming in but I got 3 bookings!

2 for June and 1 for July! I was SO HAPPY about the June bookings!

 

[raebates]

Four contacts today:Got 1 order
Gave away 1 catalog (she plans to order before Saturday)

 

[amy07]

made the calls, but couldn't get anyone on the phone.

 

[Bren706]

My calls today resulted in:

~Left messages on 2-3 machines
~Talked to 3-4 people that asked me to follow up in the fall
~1 contact said "No thanks"

Closed out a show (for a whopping $177) and spoke to the hostess about the opportunity. She doesn't think she would be cut out for it. I told her I would keep in touch with her.

Just finished cleaning up from my Power Cooking Clinic (had a bunch of interruptions, and had to put the little guy to bed before I could finish) - I'll post more tomorrow, I'm pretty tired right now.


But, right now (with several orders still coming in ) show is at $600, with 3 bookings - 2 for July, and 1 that I'll date tomorrow when she comes over with her order. (a neighbor who is a charter customer - she's ordered from me since my very first inaugural show - but ALWAYS said no to booking until this evening!)
Oh - and a past host who I have been working with for a year took her Agreement home to fill out! Whoooo Hoooo!

It was a great evening - I'll post more tomorrow!

Oh - and all 3 of my bookings were with people who have never hosted a show of any kind before!

 

[Christ Follower]

Wow Becky that is wonderful!

 

[Christ Follower]

Today was a busy day for me but I did manage to get another booking for June 27th! I am pretty excited and hoping that they all stick.

I also got a couple more "no's" for my mystery host show. I need 3 more people to do it and now I am starting to get nervous.

I also gave out a recruiting packet for a friend of mine to pass along to someone for me. Hopefully that lead pans out in the future.

 

[Bren706]

So glad to hear you had a great turnout, Becky! I am looking forward to the day that I am ready to start hosting my own Open Houses/Clinics.

I forgot to mention that while talking to the host that I was closing out yesterday, she told me that she has a friend that is waiting on her stimulus check to place an order for.......................Cookware! (She was asking me if she could just call me with the order, well yeah!!!) I won't hold my breath for it, but I sure hope it comes through! (in June, of course)

Silly Girl! You are so successful - no reason to be me!

I'm really looking forward to rooming with you and getting to hang out at Conference!:thumbup:

Awww shucks, that makes me so happy!! DH is being a brat today and just hurt my feelings. I thinking he's going thru his male monthly cycle this week :grumpy:

well, today I was working on a personal fundraiser I'm doing for an organization that I volunteer with so I made quite a few contacts for that.
Also closed some shows and did some host coaching. My host for tomorrow has decided that she wants to be the consultant for her show, so I'm going earlier than normal to do her agreement and help her use this as her kick-off. She's expecting 10-15 so she may just start out with a $1k show!!:love: :love: It would be so awesome for her. It's a stretch financially for her to afford the kit, but what a way to get rolling!

I'm starting to become VERY intentional about my business!!! I was sitting at ball game last night and a lady that I had small talk with before came up and sat beside me. She somehow mentioned she needed a job... one that would allow here to be there for her children (she's a single mom). So, I decided to tell her that I was hiring! Her eyes lit up and she asked me alot of questions. I had a catalog and some information with me and I gave it to her. We had another game tonight.... I asked her if she was coming and she said she was. So, I encouraged her to take a look at the info. and jot down any questions she had and I'd answer them for her at the game tonight.

Yea!!!!! She filled out the agreement, but I didn't realize until I got home that she didn't sign it. :yuck: I'm taking some more info. to her tomorrow at her house, so I'll get it then, but I'm so excited!!!

I've been telling myself for the last two weeks... It's not over until it's June 1, so I'm just gonna keep asking!

now THAT is cool!!

I've been telling myself the same thing about the June 1st. But I also don't want to pressure anyone and turn them off either, when in reality they would've been eager to sign in 2 weeks or such.

Great job on TPC too!

I've not been pushy! In fact, I just went to a "semi-regional" meeting where we discussed being pushy... it's in your face without respect! I'm definitely not doing that! Just showing the excitement of what it has done for my family the last 7 years and what it could do for her!!! I listened to what she said... worked in grocery store for 18 years... and complimented on how she would be great at this because:
1) she loves the products
2) she loves to cook
3) She really needs money
4) It's a flexible business, and
5) "you must have a lot of experience with many different kinds of people... that will be great asset in your own business!"

That's about all!!! She was very intrigued and with my husband sitting beside me agreeing with how much it has done for us... she was in awe!

 

[Bren706]

way to go Twinkie!

I had a Kid's cooking show this evening. Only 5 moms in attendance plus the host. The host was expecting 2 more, but they were no shows. Sales were only $127, but the host did not want to collect any outside orders, so she closed today. She had a $75 order herself, so I used the $23 to get it to qualify as a show. Only 1 potential Fall booking, and another potential fundraiser. UGH!

Oh, I hope you didn't think I thought you were being pushy. That was not my intent.
I was talking about me. I get so excited sometimes when I'm talking to people about the biz, that i'm afraid my enthusiasm is taken as the "vomitus eruptous" that seems pushy or insanely weird. But that's my own personal complex!:yuck:

Nope not at all!! It's all good!

Okay today was just crazy for me and I wont get into all the reasons I didn't make all my contacts, but---

I did manage to give out a catalog to a bunch of enthusiastic young ladies at Starbucks today. They seemed very interested in possibly doing a show. I am still too chicken about getting contact info (can't get the wording right or something), but I am going to be going in that one more often so will follow up soon.


ETA-- I did close a show tonight...part of my crazy day.

 

[amy07]

host tonight signed and we did her show together as her "unofficial" kick-off. She's a go-getter. AND someone I probably would've never thought would've been interested in the opportunity. ALWAYS ASK!!

Did get my contacts in today before the show. No bookings and a recruit lead isn't ready yet****sigh****But on a good note she told me when she was she would be signing under me!

Just think Amy, a start on TPC Recruiting for next year!!!!

 

[raebates]

Got my contacts in. Found a customer care issue to handle.

 

[amy07]

Believe me, I've already thought about it! AND if I could just get the others to atleast qualify before they go inactive that would be a dream!!:sing:
But I think I'm really going to work for sales this year. That way it all boils down to me and what I did/didn't do, like good host coaching

 

[Bren706]

The only calls I was able to make were:

~Talked to a host from last week (that had went on vacation for 4-5 days after her show) She is not feeling well, so we decided that I would call her guests that took catalogs home with them to see if they wanted to place an order. I reached 3-4 of those guests, who still had not looked at the catty. Will follow up on Monday. I did ask 2-3 of them about hosting. There may be a couple potential fall shows. Also, the host (a former PC catalog consultant) has a son who loves to cook, and works at Costco, doing samples, who is looking for a little extra income, and thought that PC would be good for him. I will send a recruit packet.

~Finally reached my host scheduled for tonight (after calling her over the weekend, and she was busy at picnics, and then Tuesday when someone else answered and said she would call me back, and me calling her on Thursday and her phone was turned off). Of course, she cancelled on me.

I spent the rest of the day with my children at the playground with our playgroup, and then getting ready for a table I have at a Country Club Ladies Luncheon from 11-1:30 today. Hope to make a few good contacts there today, and then make some calls tonight.

Wow Amy! I wish I could just follow you around and hear what you are saying to get them all to sign!

congratulations!

congratulations!

it isn't what I say, it's really what I ask "wouldn't you rather make the commission from this show than me? I mean I have no problem doing it, and I'm showing up either way: to either do the show or help YOU get started"

but in reality Becky, this is the first recruit I have SIGNED since the 2nd week of March. I've been in a MAJOR :yuck: :cry: dry spell with bookings and recruiting. Hoping this is a sign of things to come this summer!:thumbup:

 

[amy07]

had what was supposed to be a HUGE fundraiser event today. But as we all know, what it is supposed to be and what it is are often two different things. Good news I got 2 bookings, one for June the other July. Yay!! Summer calendar is starting to look good! Still have more room for shows, but atleast it is improving over the last few months.

I went to McDonald's to get a biscuit this morning before I went to the gym. I know, ironic, anyway, 3 ladies are in line and see me wearing my PC shirt. Do you sell PC? Yes, I do. We have a conversation, they say they usually order from the PC website and if I gave them my name they would use my name for credit next time. I did better. I gave them my business card and information to my own website. I did let them know that I did shows in their area (they live more than 1 1/2 hours away). Who would have thought. Lunch was being served not breakfast at 10:45, so I passed and saved myself calories and made 3 contacts!
