Crawling Out of the Funk: Refocusing to Get Back on Track

[kisrae]

I have been in this funk for the last few weeks with selling of our house working 3 jobs and my show sales and bookings going down. So last night I sat down to refocus and to find out what I need to do different to get myself back on track.
I had changed my shows and started the hands on shows and skipping the funnist part of my shows to keep everything short. So I'm going back with a little twist. I guess I like to "be on stage" and I sell better when I do it and I get excited and so then the guest do. My show sale were always higher.
I've also noticed that I can't support my team like I want to when I'm not doing what I need to do.

I don't know where I'm going with this....I guess long story short. I'm crawling out of my hole and getting to work.:thumbup:

I think I need to sit down again, and right out my goals and re-direct myself too!
Congrats on figuring out some stuff! Sometimes it helps to just write it down and tell someone, even if telling someone means all of us!

Good for you! I think it's important to try new things but in the end we have to do what works for ME!

I don't do much hands on either - tried it. But I do say during my intro that "I am doing a cooking demo tonight but a lot of consultants do what we call intro-active shows so if you can't see yourself standing in front of a group know that there are other ways to do this business. Pampered Chef gives us lots of options and all the training we could want to succeed." ...something like that.


PS: I do ask people to try products and do get a few to take me up on it so it's not all non-interactive.

good for you to focus on what works for you and has yielded results. it's your biz and you should conduct it the way that works for you and your customers

I like that. I was trying to figure out a way to bring recruiting back into it.
