Booth Success: My Pampered Chef World and 25 Potential Recruits!

[tada]

Hey, remember I was doing a booth show this weekend called A Kid's World? Well it turned into My Pampered Chef World!!!!!!!

This is what it looks like after I got home and went through my slips -
8 August Shows, 14 September Shows, 13 October shows, 6 November Shows,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

and 25 recruit leads!!!! (what's 25 X $50 Home Depot??) just dreaming

I sent most definite hosts home with a host packet.

I was overwhelmed with folks interest in my booth and the opportunity! Some were just "looking for a PC consultant" - a lot "oh I LOVE PC"...

SO it was real positive.

I asked permission to call all next week (so I get over my phone phobia). So tomorrow - I'll be ringing some phones!

Just wanted to share my success and encourage others!

YAY for you! I'd love to hear more about this! What kind of event was it? How or what did you do to generate all of this excitement at your booth? What did your booth set up look like?

Congrats on all that new business!

Yes please share how you booked soo many! That is fantastic! I just had a booth and only got 1 booked for OCt! What did you have set up at your table? What kind of drawing did you have if any? Please share any-all details on our success! Thanks!

 

[pamperedval]

I am in awe of those numbers! That is incredible!!! How did you get all those bookings! Are they all cooking shows or some catalog ones too? AMAZING!

Please share your secrets - we are all dying to know your strategy!

Thanks,

Val

 

[pamperedval]

And I forgot to mention the recruit leads! That is insane!

How did you get that many! You are my hero - that is too awesome!!!

Please share your wisdom with the rest of us who struggle just to get one or two recruit leads...

[Kathytnt]

TELL US HOW YOU DID IT! Inquiring minds want to know - My first event got cancelled because I was working alone and my mom passed away on the first night of a 3 day show Trying again next weekend!!!

 

[pckimboyers]

That is so exciting!!! What are you going to do with all that home depot stuff!?! I'm doing a fair booth this week....so I hope to get at least a couple Sept. bookings!!! Great Job--what ever it was you did ---keep doing that!!

 

[pamperedgirl3]

That is awesome! Great job!! I'll send another request in to for what you said to everyone, what was set up on the table, and what you were offering as a prize, if any. That is fabulous! How much did you pay for the booth because it was certainly worth every penny!

 

[Cindycooks]

that is incredible! Good for you! Yes - please share all that you said and did! Girl your house is gonna be so decorated and your business booming too! WooHoo - standing and clapping for you!!!

I'm doing a Home & Garden show in 3 weeks that is supposed to have about 10,000 total traffic, so I'd love to know what you did -- I'd do back flips if I got that many bookings, not to mention the recruiting leads!! Congratulations!!!

Here's some details -

This was a Big event in our capital city - it was heavily advertised on radio and tv - A Kid's World - "A Kid's World is an interactive exposition for children and their parents offering opportunities to shop, sample products, and interact with experts in the fields of children's health care, education, and recreation. Other features include multiple space jumps, inflatable obstacle courses, face painting, lots of costumed characters, a petting zoo, a rock-climbing wall and a bungee trampoline."

I paid $100 at the last minute to share a 10 x 10 booth with a Home Interiors consultant. She set up candles on her side.

I ordered all the kid's products last week (my kit enhancement month) and got them in on Friday! I wanted my products to be kid's things - since it was a kid's event. (So focus on the expected crowds).

So my booth - just had kid type products on a table - used my crate and covered it with some netting to dress it a bit - used a 8x10 frame with the Book a Mommy and Me Show (I got from this site).

My door prize - a $20 Gift Certificate
My host prize - host a show in August or September - you are entered to win the Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl set (which I had there too).

So they opened the doors - folks came streaming by - and they were attracted to the kid products - I kinda held my door prize slips back a bit - in my hand on a clip board - and if they looked interested - I'd hand them a slip - start with "How are you familiar with The PC" - and depending on their answer went from there. I just asked for the bookings - and pointed to my Bowl Set - had host packets there to hand to them.

While some of the recruit leads let me know they were interested right then - some silently marked yes on the door prize slip - so while I got some folks only there for the gift certificate - you never know what someone is thinking about....

Anyways - now I've got to do my calls today!

My goal was to book one show to pay for my booth space and kid's products! I think I met that goal!

I'll share anything I know - but I think it was the number of people and me having the kid's products that they expected to see at the event (cater to the expected crowds.)

My friend with the candles only had minimal interest in her things.

I used the attached flyer for recruiting.

 

[lacychef]

How exciting for you Good luck with all those calls today!
There must be a need in MS I think; I'm not sure how many consultants are there, but my sis that lives there does catty shows w/me. Also her friend is doing one right now--she said she hasn't seen a PC person there in awhile. They're in northern MS...
Have fun calling!

 

[DebbieJ]

We have a similar thing coming up but the booth is $400!!! Maybe I'll see if they have last minute room and would cut a deal...

Thanks Soo much for sharing! Appreciate it! Good luck with those calls!

Let us know how the calls went! And I'm curious to know how the shows go too! But you'd have to update us in a couple months...

That $100 was DEFINITELY worth it!!!

 

[tada]

Thanks for all the great support.

The calls are doing good so far. For everyone I've gotten on the phone, they've followed through with setting their dates. But it is so hard catching folks. I'll feel better when 50% of the folks have nice dates all tied down.

My director was blown away - I told her she'd be an advanced director and me a director in no time at all. That made her pretty happy.

Wow Tracie, that is really great!

I love your Recruiting flyer. It is very well done! I would love to start some recruiting myself and I think I may have to "borrow" it, if you don't mind.

I did notice something on it that I have been wondering about since I started, but never asked. Your flyer states No Minimum Sales Requirements or Obligation. What does happen if someone buys the starter kit, and then never does their four shows or never qualifies? Does PC make them pay for all the products or anything? Just curious, cause I'm sure someone will ask eventually...and I don't know the answer.

If you know the answer, please let me know.

Thanks!
