Boosting Sales: Help Me Reach My Goal Now!

[ShelbyMichalek]

I'm kind of in a tiny pity rut and I need y'all to just snap me out of it, k?

I had a FANTASTIC booking blitz. My January is looking pretty great. (Um, ya can't complain about 5 cooking and 2 catalog shows for Triple Points Days)

But I REALLY need the PC dollars for getting $1500 this month and I'm about 1k short. I have one catalog show open right now for a friend. But that's it! I NEED to get those sales! I NEED that commission and I NEED those PC dollars to buy catalogs for my super busy January.

What can I do? (Keep in mind, I called all my leads during the booking blitz!)

Last year I did a 12 days of Christmas sale to help earn the trip but I did give away most of my commission. That probably won't help in this case as you could just use that money for catalogs anyway but just wanted to throw it out there.

Right. I need the commission check too. My husband and I are struggling in our relationship very badly and I haven't made it very public here but I need to build my career and I need to make something positive for ME because if everything continues the way it has, I will need it. But I don't want to talk about it if that's okay. It's not that it's too personal, I don't mind sharing. It's just very painful.

On to happy things like promotions and recognition! That's what I have to build toward!!

Start advertising that they can buy items off their Pampered Chef Wish List with those (Visa, Master Card & American Express) GIFT CARDS that they received for Christmas.

I already planted the seed with a Facebook message. You should see the sticky notes on my wall right now Sheila!
There's a couple with things I jotted down from the conference trainings I listened to and there's one now that reads.

$1000 in order divided by $50 is my average order = 20 orders (and this is written long division style)
And then it looks like this
Dec 26 | 10 orders
Dec 27 | 10 orders
Dec 28 | 5 orders
Dec 29 | 5 ordersMake 20+ calls a day these 4 days.

I'm so Type A sometimes it makes me laugh.
I will reach my goal by Thursday next week if it KILLS me! LOL!
I'm sure I will probably have to call 80 people to get those 20 orders!I'm just trying to figure out how NOT to annoy people!

LOL Success is only achieved through motivation and commitment (follow through), huh?

You could start looking at "collection" people. Start with those that purchased pantry items and see if they would like to reorder. Then move onto stoneware, bamboo, etc. Even check with people who had purchase trivets before and ask if they want to add to their collection and get the new one.

That could help! My biggest problem is my first year of business records are all lost because I went inactive and resigned (right away, under a different recruiter) and so all my customers from my first 15 shows or so are lost from my database. I have information for several of them, but not their order history.
I do however have order history for the last year so that would be a start!
Thanks!

If you haven't been in touch with any of those original guests for a while just give them a call and let them know you have recently restarted your business and wanted to get in touch with them. They don't have to know how "recent" you restarted just that you did!
