Hello! I'm so happy! I have a new customer! :) I actually had this woman's name and number given to me from an employee that works at the grocery store I was at the other day. She seen my catalog tote and stopped to ask me for a catalog for herself and she also gave me her friends name and number who's looking for a consultant. The totebag really works!!! :thumbup:

I called the employee's friend tonight and she asked me to email her any low fat recipes that I might have. Can anyone think of any right off hand? I will continue to search in cookbooks and on this site, but I thought that maybe someone might have a favorite they would like to share.

Thanks!
 
HO labels recipes with "light" when they have less than 30% of calories from fat. I know you want to build a relationship with this new customer, but I'd only send her a few (3 or 4) recipes. Unless she places an order. Because otherwise you're just wasting your time typing up recipes for someone who may have no intention of buying anything.
 
Ditto on what Ann says - what a smart lady! ;) Plus, if you just give her a few recipes, it'll be like a tease. Let her know you'll give her recipes with each piece she orders.

I did an WW 8 points show last month. We did the SW salad and one of those fruity trifles (maybe the strawberry one? I forget already).

Thank you very much!!!
 
The "it's good for you" cookbook might have some good recipes...maybe just send her one or two and then suggest that she think about ordering it to get all the rest? I've sold a few of them by using a recipe as a demo and then telling everyone at the end what the fat and caloric content was...they always are amazed that it is "healthy" but yummy, too. :)

Thanks for the suggestion sklay723 :-)

I actually sent her a catalog in the mail along with a copy of a recipe and I did tell her about the cookbook in the letter that I wrote to her. I sent everything together. I know she's interested in ordering so I am just waiting to hear from her. I sent her packet today so maybe sometime next week I will hear from her.

Thanks again!
