So, I haven't done much this month, but DD had to sing at church tonight for school.

So, since it is already -5 degrees, I went in long underwear, jeans, turtleneck and black Pampered Chef windbreaker.

After the church a mom of one of the girls in DD's class saw my jacket and asked me if I sell PC and if I had a business card.

I luckily had a recipe card with my contact information AND a catalog with me.

She clearly stated that she doesn't host parties, but had a 4 piece DOTS set and wants to make it 8. I asked if she saw the newer DOTS glasses yet...

She said, nope, man there goes my tax return.

She promised to call me with her order sometime soon!

Yeah!

This should also serve as a reminder for those who HAVE bought DOTS from you in the past to follow up and see if they are ready to increase their settings, especially in Feb. at 60% off or if they've seen the newer glasses...
 
or if they've seen the new DOTS items!It really pays to have your catalog and recipe cards with you at all times!You never know who might be interested in Pampered Chef products!
 


Hey there! That's awesome that you were able to make a potential sale at your daughter's school event. It's always great to have those unexpected opportunities to promote your business. And it's definitely a good reminder to follow up with previous customers and see if they're ready to upgrade their settings or check out the new products. Good luck with the potential sale!
