Hi everyone! I'm new here so forgive me if I've posted in the wrong place.
I am currently with Premier Designs Jewelry and LOVE doing homeshows, meeting new friends, having a business of my own, etc, but I've also been having a lot of difficulty with my business lately. Hard to get ladies to book shows, retails sales are down, etc.
Several years ago I went to my first PC party and was wondering why I was even there - I didn't cook at all (we are in the restaurant business) and my eyes were glazing over at the mere mention of cooking-related tips and tools. So I bought a pitcher - at least I can make Crystal Light - LOL!
Several shows later, however (I kept attending just to support my friends who were having the party) something clicked and I realized that it might not be so bad to try to cook, so I bought both 29 Minutes To Dinner cookbooks and I was off and running!!
The recipes truly were 29 minutes to dinner, no weird ingredients that I'd have to buy and only use once, really delicious, family-friendly, etc, etc. I was really pleased. THAT party that I attended started me on a cooking binge and for the last 2 years, that's all I've been doing. In fact, we rarely go out to eat anymore when not at our own restaurant. The kids get homecooked meals, homecooked lunches, homecooked breakfasts now, as opposed to fast food and pre-packaged stuff.
It's really changed our lives and our lifestyle (and my confidence) all because of that most recent PC show.
So...I got to thinking that maybe I should switch companies from Premier to PC. BUT I don't want to get into this and have it be yet another failed attempt at my own business.
I'm not overly pushy or aggressive and I have a hard time getting in people's faces to get them to book or join the business. I'm not good with a big sales pitch either.
So I guess my question is ... if I didn't succeed with Premier, will I not succeed with PC? (ie, if you're good at sales, you'll be able to sell any product to anyone ...)
Also, are any of you with two companies at the same time, PC and another? How do you juggle it and how does it work/not work? (I'm thinking of maybe doing PC and Premier at the same time?)
Thanks in advance for your input.
